Integrity Toys 2024 convention - Stilettos Out day 1: Nu Face Seven Style Lab

As mentioned in the previous post, the Souvenir Shop of the Stilettos Out convention also had the Style Lab dolls, which were all NU Face this year. As per the Integrity Toys email:

For this year’s NU. Face Seven Style Lab, it was a NU. Face fan's fantasy come to life as IT designer extraordinaire Jessy Ayala invited convention attendees to take part in the ultimate heist! What if the NU. Face Agency’s elite team of models had been hired to mastermind and conduct a top-secret mission to obtain the complicated components of a highly advanced device laced with diamonds, working for a mysterious client they had never met in person? In this exciting adventure tale, your favourite NU. Face models got to wear fabulous clothes and take part in the most covert scheme they’ve ever undertaken together!

Prototypes of each doll/fashion figure and each outfit were displayed for all attendees to view and help them purchase the ones they wanted, since the actual dolls they were buying had not arrived. Each doll in the Style Lab is always sold nude; outfits are sold separately.- but from what I read on social media, you had to buy one outfit for each nude doll you got. Total price was $150.00 for a doll and an outfit together: $65 per doll and $85 per outfit. Still no mention anywhere of what had happened, no admission of any fault or mistake, no apology.Which I am guessing was advised by their legal representative as a way to avoid complications. Still, it sucks.

There was a Special Bonus Build-A-Doll thing incorporated into the Style Lab this year, just like in 2018. Each doll and each outfit included a bonus "build-a-doll" component that allowed purchasers to put together an additional, complete NU. Face dressed doll when the entire collection is purchased. That was Violaine, who you can see further below in this article.

Stilettos Out: An Integrity Toys Fashion Thriller

Edition Size: 600

Designed to fit FR Homme 1.5 and similar 12-inch/1:6 scale fashion figures.

Designed By Jessy Ayala

Lukas looks edgy as always, ready to hit the town. I can’t say I am thrilled with the silver flocked hair - I’d rather have it pale blonde or white instead. It takes a blueish tone that does not look that good to me. His suit is probably inspired by McQueen - cut out suits have been shown on men and women in the brand’s collections fairly recently.The high heel ruins the look for me - it gives of summer lover sleaziness.

The NU. Face® Style Lab Collection

Stilettos Out: An Integrity Toys Fashion Thriller

Edition Size: 600

Designed to fit NF 3.0 and similar 12-inch/1:6 scale fashion dolls.

Designed By Jessy Ayala

Erin looks gorgeous in this version, especially with her honey ginger hair. She has the screening of Your Motivation Erin but modified. The dress print echoes the coat of When In Paris Poppy. Love the shoes and choker necklace.Her whole styling gives me strong Blanche Epiphanie vibes - she was the heroine of a french comic series.

Item # 82180

No. 3

Nadja Rhymes™ Nude Doll

The NU. Face® Style Lab Collection

Stilettos Out: An Integrity Toys Fashion Thriller

Edition Size: 600

The NU. Face® Style Lab Collection

Stilettos Out: An Integrity Toys Fashion Thriller

Edition Size: 600

Designed to fit NF 3.0 and similar 12-inch/1:6 scale fashion dolls.

Designed By Jessy Ayala

Nadja is a mishmash of the Enchantress and Out Of Sight Nadja dolls, which means she’s becoming really popular to collectors! I’m not that keen on the blueish eye-shadow though. The outfight is a glamorous extravaganza that elevates the whole set (if you bought them together) into perfection! Just imagine how enthusiastically would club members have accepted Adrenaline Rush Dominique if she was wearing something like that. Brilliant style and execution Jessy!

Item # 82181

No. 4

Colette Duranger™ Nude Doll

The NU. Face® Style Lab Collection

Stilettos Out: An Integrity Toys Fashion Thriller

Wild Rush Fashion Pack

The NU. Face® Style Lab Collection

Stilettos Out: An Integrity Toys Fashion Thriller

Edition Size: 600

Designed to fit NF 3.0 and similar 12-inch/1:6 scale fashion dolls.

Designed By Jessy Ayala

The original Colette (and Nadja) sculpt returns with a sultry look - have we seen her so sexy and seductive before? The outfit is country and western glam, with lots of people commenting that it was inspired by Beyoncé and her Cowboy Carter looks. But the first of those looks were released on February (for the two singles) of this year and I do not think they had the time to design, approve and make the doll so fast. Or could they?

Item # 82182

No. 5

Ayumi Nakamura™ Nude Doll

The NU. Face® Style Lab Collection

Stilettos Out: An Integrity Toys Fashion Thriller

Edition Size: 600

Head Sculpt: Ayumi 3.0

Inside Info Fashion Pack

The NU. Face® Style Lab Collection

Stilettos Out: An Integrity Toys Fashion Thriller

Edition Size: 600

Designed to fit NF 3.0 and similar 12-inch/1:6 scale fashion dolls.

Designed By Jessy Ayala

Ayumi is cute - but I would have preferred a fierce Ayumi. Her hair makes her look like another version of Hauntingly Lovely Ayumi and she even has the same colours in her screening - but side by side they look different.I love her dress, it could have fit with the Reckless collection styled with different items. Which says it all about this outfit.

Item # 82179

No. 6

Thiago Valente™ Nude Fashion Figure

The NU. Face® Style Lab Collection

Stilettos Out: An Integrity Toys Fashion Thriller

Edition Size: 600

Head Sculpt: Thiago

Designed By Jessy Ayala

Thiago Is Wearing:

Item # 82186

Tech Skills Fashion Pack

The NU. Face® Style Lab Collection

Stilettos Out: An Integrity Toys Fashion Thriller

Edition Size: 600

Designed to fit FR Homme 1.5 and similar 12-inch/1:6 scale fashion figures.

Designed By Jessy Ayala

Thiago must be the winner of the popularity contest in the Style Lab dolls, judging by the reactions of everyone online. He’s a gorgeous doll and looks amazing with or without his sporty outfit. From that I love the boots and high socks, gloves and bag. Can we stop it with the convertible pants already? It has been overused, abused maybe.

Item # 82184

No. 7

Rayna Ahmadi™ Nude Doll

The NU. Face® Style Lab Collection

Stilettos Out: An Integrity Toys Fashion Thriller

Edition Size: 600

Head Sculpt: Rayna

The NU. Face® Style Lab Collection

Stilettos Out: An Integrity Toys Fashion Thriller

Edition Size: 600

Designed to fit NF 3.0 and similar 12-inch/1:6 scale fashion dolls.

Designed By Jessy Ayala

Rayna goes mod! With this style she could be a friend of Poppy’s! She does remind me a bit of Silver Cloud Poppy - maybe it’s the Edie Sedgwick look they both share. Love the bag.Her screening is the same as Eye Candy Rayna’s.

So who is the mysterious Build-A-Doll? Those who purchased the entire Style Lab collection received all the components to complete a special bonus mystery dressed doll. Once all of the components are collected and put together, attendees will have the "Criminal Kitty" Violaine Perrin dressed doll. There was also a build-an-accessory item, from “diamond” encrusted pieces also included with every box. What it is? The mystery thickens…

Item # 82183B

Criminal Kitty

Violaine Perrin™ Build-A-Doll

The NU. Face® Style Lab Collection

Stilettos Out: An Integrity Toys Fashion Thriller

Edition Size: 600

Head Sculpt: Violaine/Vanessa 2.0

Body Type: NF 3.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: Japan

Hair Color: Garnet Red

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

Designed By Jessy Ayala

What a gorgeous Violaine doll! I love her burgundy hair contrasting her pale skin, her smoky eyes and pale lip combination. Her overall styling is, as shown by her Criminal Kitty name, inspired by Catwoman, especially the Julie Newmar version. I love her lace bodysuit and satin wrap mini skirt. Her arm bag is of course Dolly by Balenciaga.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Prototypes shown throughout this email, final products may vary. Mugshot signs and other props are not included. These collectibles are meant for adult collectors ages 15 and up only.

IMPORTANT: All nude dolls/figures and outfits are sold separately; no doll stand or mugshot card included.

Integrity Toys Dolly Days finale pt.1: NuFace 2019 Collection reveal

While the fifth Dolly Day went by without any offer from Integrity Toys - just a teaser email about Saturday’s reveal, the sixth and last day of the online event made up for it in spades. While the two collections offered by the company and designed by Jessy Ayala are small in number (three dolls per each), they were enthusiastically received by collectors and are probably going to be quite popular. In this post, we will check out the NuFace ladies and their days off concept: the dolls are dressed in clothes that they would wear in their everyday life, each in her own unique style. They are great looking dolls, but for their $150.00 price, I wanted more elaborate outfits and styles. All three are available from Integrity Toys dealers.

Item # 82117

Ayumi is beautiful, looking fresh but very basic, with her plain hair and outfit. She looks like she was part of the lottery NuFace Essentials capsule collection revealed last May. If I did not have Power House Ayumi, I might have considered getting her. She’s ideal for those that don’t have any Ayumi yet. But still expensive for what you get.

Item # 82115

It Girl Magic

Colette Duranger™ Dressed Doll

NU. Face Collection: Off Duty

Expected Ship Date: April 2020

Suggested Retail Pricing: $150.00

*ONLY AVAILABLE VIA IT DEALERS*

Edition Size: 900

Head Sculpt: Colette 2.5 (New, Slightly Revised Sculpt!)

Body Type: NF 3.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled Foot and Flat Foot

Skin Tone: Sunkissed

Hair Color: Blush Pink

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

Quickswitch: No

Included:

• 12.5" fully articulated doll with rooted hair and hand-applied eyelashes;

• Intricately constructed denim jacket dress, with contrasting plaid applique panels, cinched at the waist by a narrow, black patent leather belt;

• Wide-brimmed Andalusian hat with satin ribbon trim;

• Earrings and black star ring;

• Oversized, faded gradient sunglasses;

• Faux-leather clutch purse;

• Black nylon stockings;

• Pair of chunky mid-calf faux-leather boots;

• Pair of high-fashion open-toe strappy heels;

• Alternate pair of lower legs with articulated flat feet;

• Pair of long-manicure hands;

• Alternate pair of "grip" hands;

• Stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

Jessy revised the new Colette sculpt by shrinking the (admittedly oversized) head a bit, and it shows. She looks much better than her debut incarnation back in the Supermodel Convention. If she had a different hair colour, I might have considered buying her, as I do not own any Colette yet. Her green eyes are mesmerising.

Her coat dress is a shorter version of a Balmain Fall 2019 RTW coat. On the runway, it was worn with opaque tights, which fit the off duty concept much better, and over something resembling a blouse/shirt/short dress leather thing, which would have made this doll so much better (along with the original length of the outfit) and worth the $150.00 price tag. Just imagine it made with that soft fake leather stretchy material used for doll gloves. The exact outfit shown on the runway is nowhere to be found either on the brand’s website or major online retailers, so it might have been runway only.

Fashion Darling

Giselle Diefendorf™ Dressed Doll

NU. Face Collection: Off Duty

Expected Ship Date: March 2020

Suggested Retail Pricing: $150.00

*ONLY AVAILABLE VIA IT DEALERS*

Edition Size: 1000

Head Sculpt: Giselle

Body Type: NF 3.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled Foot and Flat Foot

Skin Tone: Hungarian

Hair Color: Bronze Blond

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

Quickswitch: No

Included:

• 12.5" fully articulated doll with rooted hair and hand-applied eyelashes;

• High-fashion, air force inspired, OD green flight suit with tiny zipper details and cargo pockets;

• High-contrast black and white flocked leopard printed neck scarf;

• Designer, high-gloss embossed handbag;

• Miniature sketchbook accessory with mechanical pencil;

• Vintage inspired sunglasses;

This lady looks like she jumped out of the Top Gun cast. Pity they did not give her aviator sunglasses to match the jumpsuit. She matches the convention Fresh Perspective Agnes in her colouring. I was tempted but her hairstyle is so wrong for this outfit and NuFace in general. Which is a complaint for this collection in general: apart from Colette’s colours, the rest feels a bit tame for such a line. Maybe they should have carried on with the basic/underwear theme and given us lower priced dolls.

Integrity Toys 2018 reveal pt.2: Nu Face - The Counter - Culture Collection

​Next up in the webinar was the eagerly anticipated Nu Face line. Jessy Ayala designed this again and was invited by Carol Roth to present the concept. It seems that the Nu Face agency ladies take part in an edgy video clip, designed to cause controversy. The appearance of Lukas Maverick, along with a line up of characters not used for quite a while, plus an old sculpt as a new character is one part of the equation. The other is edgy, outré fashions and styling, neon colour details and S&M details that made lots of collectors happy but also left many in the cold. Let’s check what all the fuss is about. Have in mind that the price of each doll in this line is now $150.00 and they are all available from Integrity Toys dealers except one, that you will see at the end of the post.

Item # 82099

Tantric

Lukas Maverik™ Fashion Figure

NU. Face™:The Counter-Culture Collection

Approx. Ship Date: September

Suggested Retail: $150.00 US

Available Via Dealers

Edition Size: 725

Head Sculpt: Lukas Maverick

Body Type: Homme 1.5 (With Disassembling Joints)

Skin Tone: Latino

Hair Color: "Buzzed Hair" Effect (Transparent Black)

Eyelashes: No

Quickswitch: No

Included:

• 12.75-inch fully articulated fashion figure;
• Black faux-leather biker hat with neon green trim detail;
• Black jersey asymmetric draped T-shirt;
• Electric blue shorts with eyeball design;
• Black socks;
• Black faux-leather men's sock garters;
• Shiny black faux-leather shoes with contrasting soles;
• Black and neon yellow fetish faux-leather bracelet;
• Black and neon yellow fitted boxer brief underwear;
• Henna tattoo on left forearm;
• Painted on gloved hands;
• Alternate pair of hands with henna tattoo design on right hand;
• Silver septum nose ring;
• Doll stand;
• Certificate of authenticity.

Lukas makes a surprise appearance here, as most people were expecting him to be included in the new Hommes line to be presented this fall in Convention. He still has the old Homme body, just like the Industry guys. His styling is quite daring for IT standards, reminding many a Tom Of Finland guy (Jessy admitted it was one of the influences). I wonder what exactly makes an otherwise very interesting doll cost $150.00 wearing a pretty basic outfit without any accessories to make it so expensive. Is it the tattoo? I seriously doubt it. Is it the painted hairstyle and facial hair? Is it the septum ring? IT knows Lukas will sell out no matter what (as he did, soon after the presentation). I did preorder him, he’s gorgeous, even though the outfit looks half done. And I mean the bottom half. Yes, those shorts are an eyesore (pun intended). Pet peeve: sandals with socks and garters. German tourists rejoice. A Perfecto style boot with metallic tip would have been so much better.

Beyond This Planet

Violaine Perrin™ Doll

NU. Face™:The Counter-Culture Collection

Approx. Ship Date: December

Suggested Retail: $150.00 US

Available Via Dealers

Edition Size: 850

Head Sculpt: Violaine 1.0 (Formerly Vanessa 2.0) New Character!

Body Type: NU. Face 3.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: FR White

Hair Color: Platinum Blonde

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

Quickswitch: No

Included:

• 12.5-inch fully articulated doll with fully rooted hair and hand-applied eyelashes;
• Convertible cargo cropped denim pants;
• Long sleeve top with drape/hood detail;
• Iridescent scarab-colored paillette jacket;
• Short metallic socks;
• Royal blue faux-leather boots with light gold pierced detail,
• Neon yellow "patent leather" purse with strap/harness detail;
• Multiple bracelets and rings;
• Neon yellow/aqua faux-leather choker with "gold" hardware;
• Light "gold" star/moon earrings;
• 2 tiny hoop earrings on top of right ear;
• Nose ring, light "gold" hoop (removable);
• Doll stand;
• Certificate of authenticity.

Yes, Integrity Toys heard people calling for the Vanessa 2.0 sculpt comeback as a different character and here she is. Violaine is the younger Perrin sister and she rocks! Great styling and make up, with lots of piercings, even a nose ring that is removable. I love the stacked bangles, they remind me of someone completely different: Millicent Rogers, the early 20th century socialite, wore lots of stacked bangles, just as Loulou De La Falaise did much later. Violaine is a variant of Violette (remember that the Perrins are French and all daughters have names that begin with a V) and also a 1996 single by Cocteau Twins, whom I adore. Some people did not like the dark blue lipstick but I think it fits her perfectly. That and her eyeliner are reminiscent of Aerodynamic Vanessa Perrin from 2009. The jeans are definitely like the ones by Balenciaga in their Spring 2018 collection. They are convertible, meaning that each piece is detachable - they have hooks to attach to each other. I am thinking that maybe I can recreate the Versace denim JLo boots that looked like drooping pants. I love the asymmetrical top and the paillete parka. The bag is a miniature wonder and yellow, just perfect. So,is the chocker. And the peacock ring is amazing. Her boots look plain by comparison. Glad to say that she’s coming home.

Item # 82101

The Awakening

Annik Vandale™ Doll

NU. Face™:The Counter-Culture Collection

Approx. Ship Date: December

Suggested Retail: $150.00 US

Available Via Dealers

Edition Size: 950

Head Sculpt: Annik

Body Type: NU. Face 3.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: Dark A-tone

Hair Color: Raven

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

Quickswitch: No

Included:

• 12.5-inch fully articulated doll with fully rooted micro-braids and hand-applied eyelashes;
• Faux-leather biker hat with neon trim detail;
• Oversized sweater dress with contrasting neon art;
• Neon painted fingerless gloves (neon yellow and pink);
• Black thigh-high organza boots;
• "Silver" large hoop earrings;
• "Silver" third eye ring;
• Doll stand;
• Certificate of authenticity.

Important Note: The jewel on Annik's face is not-removable. Removing the jewel will damage the doll permanently and void the warranty.

After a prolonged absence, Annik returns again, with a last name (Vandale), wild styling and a prominent place in the Nu Face collection. She has the same police/bondage hat as Lukas, a beautiful small bag with lots of details, a face ring that cannot be removed (it will leave a dent and void the warranty) and a pair of semi transparent boots made of organza that, according to what Jessy said, has a holographic effect. 

Item # 82103

Nirvana

Dominique Makeda™ Doll

NU. Face™:The Counter-Culture Collection

Approx. Ship Date: December

Retail: $150.00 US

Available Via Dealers

Edition Size: 950

Head Sculpt: Dominique 2.0

Body Type: NU. Face 3.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: FR Black

Hair Color: Dark Caramel

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

Quickswitch: No

Included:

• 12.5-inch fully articulated doll with fully rooted hair and hand-applied eyelashes;
• Long over-sized puffy coat (dark berry color);
• Satin top with neon colored -digital print art;
• Dark jean pants with attached neon green leather corset, sileeve wrap detail and pierced sleeve detail;
• Short "patent leather" boots with glitter detail;
• Star/moon/third eye jewelry (asymmetric earrings, layered bracelets with stars/moons);
• Bright pink slim sunglasses;
• Pale violet purse with spike stud detail;
• Doll stand;
• Certificate of authenticity.

Dominique is back but in Nu Face instead of her usual Fashion Royalty position. She gives off a JLo vibe and her multimix fashion is quite interesting. The violet lipstick looks quite good on her but could be problematic for redressing. Her eyeglasses look a bit weird on her. I think a pair styled like those worn by the band Devo would have looked much better.

Item # 82102

Supernova

Colette Duranger™ Doll

Approx. Ship Date: November

• Doll stand;
• Certificate of authenticity.

This is the lottery doll, so do not ask dealers for this one. Colette 1.0 returns - last we saw her she was part of the W Club wedding trio. She’s dark again, which is cool, and her fashion is the most Indian inspired from the whole collection. Her fashion is Gucci styled again, with lots of colours and textures mixing, much in the style Alessandro Michele has being using in the Gucci collections these past few years. Her boots remind me of the ones worn by this year’s upgrade Eugenia. Love the bag.

So did you like the Counter Culture Collection? Did you get any of the dolls? Let me know in the comments.

The 2016 Integrity Toys Convention: Supermodels part IX: The W Club Luncheon

After a Friday night without an official event (only the Bazaar was on), Saturday morning arrived and the last convention day. This means, first of all,  the W Club Members-Only Luncheon. This year it featured Nu Face and the centerpiece was Erin sitting on a miniature motorcycle (which you can find on ebay for more or less the same price one could get it in the convention, it's a Honda Valkyrie model miniature). During the event, W Club owner and stage-host Carol Roth hosted a Q & A panel featuring the IT design team. The designers answered questions that club members sent in online last week. The gift doll was a new-sculpt Colette doll. Jesse Ayala is taking over the Nu Face line design.

In other news, the AHS: Coven first doll is appearing near the end of the month and the first doll will be Angela Basset's Marie Laveau. They confirmed what many suspected, the demise of the Dynamite Girls line. The Industry line is its replacement, will use some of those sculpts but at almost double the price. Makes financial sense, no?

Erin looks great and her outfit as well, apart from the oversize cap. 

So is she Helena or Cindy? Maybe Stephanie? Or Karen?

The bike she was shown on is below. 50 of the attendees were raffled to buy these. You can find it on ebay.

She had nice accessories too

So this is the new sculpt for Colette. This has been a long time coming. Last appearance of the old one as Colette was back in the Rock Wedding Trio if I remember correctly.

The outfit is from Azedinne Alaia's Tati collection from 1991 as seen below on Christy:

She has a ring too and the mules look just like Christy's above left. Pity she does not have a bag.

Today the first photo of the upcoming Karl Lagerfeld Barbie popped up on the indomitable designer's website. It shows the doll looking up to her real-life counterpart, dressed in a miniature version of his iconic black suit and white shirt plus accessories as promised by the original sketch.

According to the website, Barbie Lagerfeld is arriving at the end of the month. Taking inspiration from the designer’s signature style, the doll will be dressed in the designer’s likeness with accents taken from the real KARL LAGERFELD line. Borrowing from Karl’s iconic silhouette, the doll will be wearing a tailored black jacket, white high-collared men’s shirt with French cuffs and black satin cravat finished off with fitted black jeans featuring the iconic all-over head print. The accessories include black fingerless gloves, sunglasses, black ankle boots and a black leather purse with silver metallic accents. As for the doll, I can't tell which sculpt this* is but the body looks like a pivotal. Barbie specialists please advise!

The Platinum-label Barbie Lagerfeld doll will be available in limited quantities (only 999 dolls will be produced) for approximately $200 USD or €200 Euro through exclusive retail channels including: select KARL LAGERFELD retail stores, TheBarbieCollector.com, NET-A-PORTER.COM and Colette in Paris. The worldwide retail launch is set for Monday, September 29, 2014. I bet it will be really hard to get one despite the extremely high price.

* Update 16 Sep. 2014: the sculpt is new and it is named Karl (of course)! Body type listed as poseable. Skin tone: Peace.
