7 Sins is the theme of the Integrity Toys online Fall event - and there's a doll for W Club to pre-order!

As announced during the 2023 W Club registration period, we now have the initial details about the special IT online event that will take place in lieu of the traditional convention structure for this year. Currently expected to take place sometime later this Fall, it will be similar in scope to last year’s online event, but based on collector feedback, the event format itself will be more streamlined. Does this mean less dolls and presentations? I’m guessing that will be the case, it will help with orders, shipping and timely delivery.

This Year’s Theme is “7 Sins”: characters from select Integrity Toys’ brands will feature as personifications of the 7 deadly sins. There will be no pre-registration and no fee is required to participate: All 2023 W Club members will be able to participate. Items will become available via IT Direct, aside from the made-to-order pre-event doll available for pre-order today. Items will be more limited than last year and available via the right-to-buy lottery method. This is a logical consequence of last year’s multiple ways to get the event dolls, which meant some were delivered months later. Also I’m guessing some made to order dolls were not made in quantities sufficient enough to make a profit for the company.

This year’s pre-event doll is “Sweet Temptation” Tulabelle True, one of the last dolls created by Mark Tinkey for Integrity Toys - Mark is pursuing a career outside the fasion doll realm. Every W Club member gets the chance to pre-order this doll, with a deadline on August 28th, 2023 at Noon Eastern Time.

Sweet Temptation

Tulabelle True™ Dressed Doll

The Tulabelle True & Co.™ Collection

7 Sins: The 2023 Integrity Toys Online Event

Edition Size: TBD

Expected Ship Date: Early Spring 2024

Head Sculpt: Tulabelle 2.0

Body Type: TRUE/The Industry 1.0

Foot Sculpt: Articulated Ankle/Flat Feet

Skin Tone: Japan

Hair Color: Golden Blonde

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

MSRP: $180 + S & H

Special W Club Price: $165 + S & H

Sales method: These dolls are guaranteed made-to-order for 2023 W Club members only- 1 per membership.

($50.00 NRD deposit due now, $115.00 + S & H due in approximately early Spring 2024)

The Story:

In all her glamour and fashion-forward style, Tulabelle True showcases her sinful side in the sweetest way possible as she embodies the original sinner herself, Eve! With her impeccable style and undeniable presence, Tulabelle True wants you to give in to the temptation, take a bite out of life and let her join your collection today! Designed by Mark Tinkey.

Included:

• 12-inch articulated doll with rooted hair and hand-applied eyelashes;

• Pale pink ensemble consisting of a matching faux-fur trimmed coat, ribbon tie bra top, and mini skirt, all with sinfully decadent custom embroidery and beading detail;

• Golden shirt collar choker necklace;

• Golden jewellery set comprised of a charm bracelet, earrings, and a ring;

• Golden butterfly hair clips;

• Pink lace-up boots (made for flat feet);

• Sunglasses;

• Pair of long-manicured hands;

• Alternate pair of hands;

• Doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

Temptation is not one of the seven deadly sins but maybe this doll symbolizes the urge to indulge in one or more of them. Tulabelle never did it for me in any of her incarnations so far, but this one is by far her best iteration in the revamped line. We see butterfly jewellery, matching those worn by Metamorphosis Erin. Her outfit is very nice and matches those of the latest Meteor collection - or even Magia 2000’s Karolin. We have seen the necklace before. The snake and apple charm bracelet alludes to Eve and the garden of Eden aka the temptation to sin. Snakeskin bag of course - imagine Eve skinning the serpent to make a bag? Would have saved us a lot of trouble.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Prototype shown, the final product may vary. Background props are not included. This collectible is meant for adult collectors ages 15 and up only.

Stay Tuned Day 3: Double feature means a Monarch meets a Meteor

The third day of “Stay Tuned”, the online event replacing the Integrity Toys convention for 2022, had two dolls inspired by two 90s TV sitcoms: Family Matters (hence their TGIT Comedy hour Thank Goodness it's IT reference, from ABC’s Thank God It’s Friday sitcom block including FM), and Fresh Prince of Bel Air. The uniting thread, apart from the era, is IT designer Vaughn Sawyers, as we get a Monarch and a Meteor doll. And while we would probably have gotten a stronger duo if Integrity picked only one of the two series (Fresh Prince of Bel Air alone could have given a whole collection worth of dolls), we get this rather weird couple of dolls, a whisper instead of a bang.

The inspiration for the two dolls per Integrity Toys:

First, we meet Tobias Alsford in the role of a nerdy-yet-sexy fashion intern coming of age as he tries to shake off the last remnants of his geeky high-school years and grows into his more mature looks while doing his very best to navigate the awkward circumstances that landed him in an internship at one of New York's top fashion magazines.

Then, we switch gears to meet Keeki Adaeze, who stars as a sweet, introverted teen (yes, in the 90s, adults played teens!), affectionately nicknamed "Princess" by her ultra-wealthy Hollywood family. Desperately wanting to help her come out of her shell, our star is sent across the country to move in with her hip, flamboyant Aunt who works in the 90s hip-hop music scene. Follow her fish-out-of-water adventures as she tries to fit in!

Item # 21029

Fashion Matters

Tobias Alsford™ Fashion Figure

The 2022 Integrity Toys Event: Stay Tuned

Edition Size: TBD

Expected Ship Date: Summer 2023

W CLUB ONLY MADE-TO-ORDER

Head Sculpt: Tobias

Body Type: FR Homme 1.5

Skin Tone: A-Tone

Hair Color: Black

MSRP: $200 + S & H

Special W Club Price*: $180 + S & H

Sales method: These dolls are guaranteed made-to-order for 2022 W Club members only- 1 per membership. Should any products remain after the final payment deadline has passed, they may be made available to the public and/or for purchasing extras at the MSRP.

($50.00 NRD deposit due now, $130.00 + S & H due in approximately Summer 2023);

*Special W Club pricing is limited to one per membership

The Story:

In this classic comedy of errors, Tobias Alsford is absolutely perfect as an awkward 20-something lad who landed "the" dream internship he never thought he'd get at a top fashion magazine. He constantly finds himself in hilarious, yet bizarre situations, having to figure novel ways out of his crazy schemes in order to keep his job, all while working hard to become the "player" he's always not-so-secretly wanted to become behind those conservative clothes and glasses!

Included:

• 12.5-inch articulated fashion figure with partially rooted and flocked hair;

• High-waist pleated pants;

• Suspenders;

• Plaid shirt;

• Custom-designed knitted cardigan sweater;

• Eyeglasses;

• Link bracelet;

• Watch;

• Signet ring;

• Socks;

• Classic wingtip shoes;

• "Stay Tuned" doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

Tobias is one of my favourite sculpts, so it is always nice to see him appear in a collection. I am not so crazy about his look here though. Trying to emulate both the original Steve Urkel and his more glamorous alter ego Stefan Urquelle, Tobias has the outfit of the former and the looks of the latter. But for me, to be convinced to pay the already high price of a Monarch means a more sophisticated and complete outfit. That would mean, in this case, a second pair of pants for the more sophisticated look, plus a bag. I love the suspenders! Also, his beard looks more like it belongs to a Lego or Playmobil figure than a fashion doll.

*Special W Club pricing is limited to one per membership

The Story:

In this re-imagined take on the early 90s sitcom genre, Keeki Adaeze stars as a sweet, introverted teen, who is sent across the country by her ultra-wealthy Hollywood family, in hopes that living with her flamboyant aunt will help her come out of her shell! Doing her best to navigate through the 90's East Coast hip-hop music scene, follow her fish-out-of-water adventures as she tries to fit in!

Included:

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

• School uniform-inspired look composed of a reversible jacket that features a colorful printed lining, and a burgundy pleated mini-skirt;

• Cropped blouse with a long tie that can be worn multiple ways;

• Burgundy fishnet stockings;

• Knee-high platform combat boots;

• Handbag with golden zipper deco and shoulder strap;

• Oversized triangular hoop earrings;

• High-school class ring;

• Lower legs with articulated flat feet;

• Pair of long-manicured hands;

• Alternate pair of "grip" hands;

• "Stay Tuned" doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

I mentioned earlier that Fresh Prince of Bel Air as a series could be the inspiration for an entire doll collection. Cousin Hilary alone could provide an entire collection with her numerous outfits! But here we have a different proposition: Fresh Prince reincarnated as a princess - what if we had a woman from Philly coming to live in L.A.? I am not sure that would have been the result though. The doll has too much hair and without a distinct style. Hilary would never. Will would never, what with his always sharp hi-top fade. Her lips are weird. I get the lip liner effort but here it looks ugly. It does not help that the prototype doll pictured has eyelashes only on one eye. The outfit tries to be an urban version of a school uniform. While I like the shirt, boots and bag, the rest of it could have been reworked. That skirt looks thrown on and the tights waist showing over it is bad. Would have been much better to just make a copy of the infamous Miu Miu mini skirt - not Bel Air related but better suited to this. For both dolls, it would have looked so much better and less awkward if the inspiration was more Thom Browne than Steve Urkel. For me that is the designer to go if you need flood pants or school uniform chic.

Integrity Toys Obsession Convention 2021 Day 1: The Convention Collection and Salesroom exclusive dolls

The 2021 Convention Collection was presented to attendees on the first day. This year there were fewer dolls, mostly because of production delays but also because W Club member had asked to see more dolls outside the convention and less offered in it. There was only one Salesroom exclusive, which would be allocated by lottery. For the dolls shown below, the Poppy Parker doll is designed by David Buttry, the East 59th doll is designed by Chris Stoeckel, and the NU. Face and Fashion Royalty dolls are designed by Jessy Ayala. Each designer decided on a different obsession for his line, so we got a hodgepodge of styles, some hitting the mark, others leaving people dissatisfied. Let’s check out the offerings.

For Fashion Royalty, Jessy decided that the obsession would be military styling. This has been a constant influence with fashion designers since forever, some have even made it a constant in their offerings (see Ralph Lauren and Balmain). The concept was explained by IT as follows:

“Since the dawn of time, whether it is for a simple show of force or as a form of national pride, just about every blue-blooded "royal" and/or would-be leader of our world has been "obsessed" with their armed forces! With this collection, the ladies of Fashion Royalty are putting their own "fashionable might" on display by paying homage to military styling, as seen through their own unique fashion lens! Each dressed in military-inspired looks, featuring intricate construction details that you will immediately recognize, the unique personality of each of our favorite FR characters shines through and will make a definite impact on the ongoing story of Fashion Royalty! Designed by Jessy Ayala.”

Item # 91528

Chain of Command

Natalia Fatalé™ Dressed Doll

The 2021 Integrity Toys Convention: Obsession

Fashion Royalty® Convention Collection

Edition Size: 1300

Special Convention Price: $180.00

*Only for Main Convention Package Holders*

Head Sculpt: Natalia 2.0

Body Type: FR 6.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: Light Honey

Hair Color: Dark Brunette

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

Quickswitch: No

Natalia looks more like a police woman in this suit than a military officer. And that is not good, especially after all that has happened these last few years. Jessy took an Alexander McQueen staple (the two-tone tailored suit) and styled it in a way to make it look more military like. I’m not feeling it at all, even though the execution looks great - and the recreation of the small bag on the belt is perfect. What is that thing hanging from her handbag?

The doll has a gorgeous face: she is a beautiful Natalia and I might try to find her nude at some point. The straight long hair ruins all the military styling though - she needed an up do or a short crop to finish it off perfectly.

Item # 91530

Vendetta

Agnes Von Weiss® Dressed Doll

The 2021 Integrity Toys Convention: Obsession

Fashion Royalty® Convention Collection

Edition Size: 1300

Special Convention Price: $180.00

*Only for Main Convention Package Holders*

Head Sculpt: Agnes

Body Type: FR 6.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: Japan

Hair Color: Pale Blonde

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

Quickswitch: No

This Agnes reminds me a lot of Dressing The Part Agnes, the doll styling and the silhouette of the dress is very close to that doll. Despite the Vendetta moniker, she looks very sweet and kind here, the veil and the ringlets framing her face giving her a renaissance Madonna feel. If you take away the hat, there’s nothing military about her. Her screening (not colouring) is like Malibu Agnes and Head For Glamour Agnes. She looks like the child of Taylor Swift and Grace Kelly.

The dress is actually a variation on the famous Dior Bar Suit, the iconic New Look outfit. One of the photos has the doll posed just like the model in the most famous photo depicting that outfit. With the styling though, it reminded me of this Giambattista Valli look. The shoes are transparent vinyl patterned to mimic lace. The bag is like a highly geometric version of the Lady Dior bag. Are the gloves united together by the red neck scarf?

The NU. Face obsession was sports. Completely unrelated to military except that both are mainly straight male obsessions (soldiers and athletes are male gay obsessions obviously). Many designers have translated sports uniforms on the catwalk, again with a variety of success. Integrity Toys summed it up like this:

“Since the only way to stay on top of the game is to win, the ultra-fashionable modeling team of the NU. Face agency is ready to put its competitive edge to the test by showing us just how obsessed they are in their own fashionable way! Each model in this series wears a look inspired by her favorite sport or fitness activity, re-imagined in a never seen before way, from the mind of IT designer, Jessy Ayala!”

Item # 82151

Varsity

Alejandra Luna™ Dressed Doll

The 2021 Integrity Toys Convention: Obsession

NU. Face™ Convention Collection

Edition Size: 1300

Special Convention Price: $175.00

*Only for Main Convention Package Holders*

Head Sculpt: Alejandra

Body Type: NF 3.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled and Flat Foot

Skin Tone: Hungarian

Hair Color: Dark Blonde

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

Quickswitch: No

Alejandra makes her second ever appearance as a baseball bunny, with a look inspired partly by the collaboration that Jeremy Scott did with Adidas back in 2014. While the overall impression is not imminently fashion, it is kind of attractive, mainly because of Alejandra - see how a good model saves the outfit?

The doll is a recoloured version of the OG Alejandra with a ponytail. The make up is a bit harsher here, in line with her being an obsessed baseball player I guess. But the overall impression is that she’s too basic for the price. She could have been a giveaway/souvenir doll but for a convention collection one, she’s seriously under-dressed. Jessy said that the number 82 on her cap is the item number for NU Face. Nice to see they have both sets of legs, high heel and flat articulated.

Item # 82152

En Pointe

Violaine Perrin™ Dressed Doll

The 2021 Integrity Toys Convention: Obsession

NU. Face™ Convention Collection

Edition Size: 1300

Special Convention Price: $175.00

*Only for Main Convention Package Holders*

Head Sculpt: Vanessa 2.0 / Violaine 1.0

Body Type: NF 3.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled and Articulated Ankle

Skin Tone: FR White

Hair Color: Brunette

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

Quickswitch: No

Violaine looks more like Poppy Parker than a Perrin sister in this incarnation. Many people find a similarity to Bergdorf Goodman Poppy in particular, but her Princess Leia hairstyle makes this quite impossible for me. The sport she’s supposedly obsessed with is ballet, which is a bit weird as ballet is not what one would normally think of when considering sports. Ballet is an art form, not a sport (although there are plenty of straight male humans out there that consider sports as art). So I do not find this relevant, plus the doll is so different in style from the rest of the NU Face ladies that it speaks for itself.

The outfit reminds me of what Sarah Burton did in her Fall/Winter 2020 collection for Alexander McQueen, putting harnesses over asymmetrically hemmed dresses. But also the Spring/Summer 2017 collection of Gauri and Nainika from India, who did many different iterations of the concept. I would have preferred the harness over the top (which then would have to be more tailored) for a better look and also in a contrasting colour. This total beige look, while very ballet in feel, looks very bland.

Thankfully, Poppy Parker had a more fashion-related obsession: Parisian Couture. Unfortunately, there is only one Poppy in this year’s convention collection. Here’s the company description:

“Poppy Parker gives us a glimpse at her latest look, as she is seen attending a very special soirée in Paris, celebrating her favorite French Couturier, Louis Laurent! Designed by David Buttry!”

Item # 77212

Silver Soirée

Poppy Parker® Dressed Doll

The 2021 Integrity Toys Convention: Obsession

Poppy Parker® Convention Collection

Edition Size: 1300

Special Convention Price: $160.00

*Only for Main Convention Package Holders*

Head Sculpt: Poppy Parker

Body Type: Poppy Parker

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: Japan

Hair Color: Platinum

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

Quickswitch: No

She is a lovely doll - echoing the Style Lab Get It Together doll from 2019’s convention. She has a screening seen before on Oh La La, Powder Puff and other Poppy dolls, with a different colouring. She is both soft and strong, which is nice and gives her a certain glow. People who saw the online presentation during the convention and the doll in David’s hands, said she looked even better.

The dress sort of reminds me of another 2019 convention Poppy, Young Romantic. They would look cool displayed next to each other. Since the French designer she’s obsessed with echoes Yves Saint Laurent a bit, I tried searching for a similar style in his early collections (both the Dior years and his first solo collections) but there is not much online to work with. The accessories are nothing that stands out but fit the style perfectly.

There was only on 2021 Convention Salesroom Exclusive, Victoire Roux, obsessed with Surrealist Art. that gave the opportunity to Chris Stoeckel to give her a Mugler outfit from his 1995 Fall Couture collection. Here’s Integrity Toys description:

“1950s top-model Victoire Roux channels her own personal Obsession for modern art and beauty, as she pays homage to her friend and fellow French citizen, famous surrealist visual artist Man Ray!"

Wearing an original creation by Integrity Toys designer Chris Stoeckel, this truly unique doll features a special "one-eyed" sculptural mask, which attaches to the doll's head using a special magnetized earring, which is included in the set! Fun and versatile, Victoire makes a statement wearing a long, flowing black lace floor-length evening coat, or a high-contrast, wearing her flamboyant pink jacket!”

Item # 73043

Black Ice

Victoire Roux® Dressed Doll

The 2021 Integrity Toys Convention: Obsession

The East 59th® Convention Salesroom

Edition Size: 700

Special Convention Price: $160.00

*Only for Main Convention Package Holders*

Head Sculpt: Victoire Roux 2.0

Body Type: East 59th 1.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: Japan

Hair Color: Silver

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

Quickswitch: No

She’s a winner! Easily the best doll of the convention so far, this unusual Victoire edition is a couture marvel! Her main outfit is a reversal of look 3 of the Fall/Winter Haute Couture Thierry Mugler collection (lace for the coat instead of patent leather, vinyl for the bodysuit instead of lace. There is also a magenta sculpted jacket that can be worn instead of the coat, taken from look 13 of the same Mugler collection. And there is that mask!

The doll is gorgeous too - with her silver hair and intense make up, she channels not only Simonetta Gianfelici who modelled the original outfit and was a muse to both Mugler and Claude Montana, but also the very regal and imposing Carmen Dell’ Orefice, the model that has the longest modelling career ever, from the 1950s till now. She’s totally different from any of her previous iterations.

I think it would have been better that they had her story be like she is the Carmen of her world - Victoire keeps modelling even in the modern era and she dons the outfit in a runway of our time, older but ageless. Just like Carmen. Surrealism was a hot thing in fashion a bit earlier than Victoire’s era (Elsa Schiaparelli collaborated with Salvador Dali and Jean Cocteau to create some memorable and influential stuff, and the 50s was her last decade of work), but this is so distinctly Mugler that the story falls flat. And no, she’s not channelling 60’s Catwoman extraordinaire Julie Newmar - wrong era for Victoire.

IFDC 2021 - two Poppy Parker glamour ladies for the final legendary event

The last ever IFDC was supposed to take place last year, then it got moved to this year due to the pandemic, but alas it was not meant to be again - the event did not take place live and the two dolls were revealed to attendees and W Club members at a later date. While attendees got their dolls plus the chance to order additional ones, club members could take part in a lottery for the right to buy them from the club allocated quantity. Both dolls are slight variations, mainly in colour and skin tone, from dolls we have seen before, but they are still gorgeous.

This is obviously a colour and skin tone variation of Masquerade Magic from IFDC 2020. Beautiful combination of her dark skin tone with the warm and vibrant orange of her suit. Not crazy about her lip colour though - a burnt orange or a warm darker red stain would have looked so much better. And a pair of more glammed up shows would be preferable - i.e. rhinestone covered pumps.

This one looks more original but definitely has her origin in Sizzling In Paris Poppy from the Model Traveler 2020 collection. I’d love to have the outfit to dress up Ginger in this and pose her next to my Paris Poppy. This is the one I’d buy if I had the funds.

The IFDC 2020 dolls were unveiled - Poppy goes Vegas!

As with many things this year, the 2020 IFDC Convention was delayed until next year due to the ongoing pandemic. What was not delayed (well, not much, considering), is the set of dolls based on this year's theme that were already designed and made. David Buttry and Vaughn Sawyers created a collection of four Poppy Parker dolls based on this yeat’s IFDC theme and they were revealed first to the would-be attendees and then to W Club and the rest of the world. As usual, a portion of the total edition size of each doll has been set aside for the W Club, while the bulk goes to the people that had registered for the convention.

Am I the only one getting Monaco Royale Vanessa vibes from this one? She’s Vaughn’s design, inspired by his 2003 IFDC Midnight In Monaco Véronique doll. The gown is a bit awkward for Poppy, as if she’s into her mother’s dress to play. Cute but pass. Lady Luck of course brings to mind the “Luck Be A Lady” song from the Guys And Dolls musical.

She’s the yang to Sizzling in Paris yin, so she’s probably designed by David Buttry. Beautiful doll and a very showgirl-y outfit. If it only had more feathers instead of tulle! Love the mask!

For me she’s hands down the most beautiful of the bunch. And despite the weird style of the cape, I like the outfit too, although I’d rather it had a shawl collared cape. Missing a necklace though - just imagine a pearl chocker with a jewelled clasp. This one was probably designed by Vaughn.The title brings to mind Rita Moreno singing (dubbed by Leona Gordon) “We Kiss In The Shadow” from “The King And I” film. The doll does look like a young Rita, no?

She’s obviously a David Buttry design, bearing lots of his favourites and things we have seen before in different iterations (like the mesh dress). Beautiful doll and lovely colours. The tote bag rocks! And of course the name references the Viva Las Vegas! Elvis Presley film, while the doll surely brings to mind the inimitable Ann Margret.
