The International Fashion Doll Convention (IFDC), one of the major doll shows in the calendar is held annually, organised by Jim Faraone and this year's theme was Horror High Vegas! So one can imagine the Goth feast it was. Integrity Toys once again designed and produced the convention doll, the souvenir doll and also had another doll for sale there. The first two dolls were unveiled on the last night of the convention in Las Vegas on July 6th. All dolls fall under the Nu Fantasy category. Let's check them out.

Glam Vamp is this year's IFDC official convention doll. She has deep raven fully rooted hair, ruby red lips and hand applied eyelashes. Her long, ultra fitted black gown has dark glittery stones on the bodice and a side slit. Glam Vamp completes her look with a set of luxurious jewels, black fishnet hosiery and a pair of unique "bat wing" open-toe pumps! A doll stand is included. For adult collectors ages 14 and up only.
Anja looks really sultry and vampy here. She reminds me a lot of the first "new" version of Vero with raven hair, which is the basic reason I am not trying to get this one. I love the dress and accessories but not enough to want to get her. Best feature about her is the eye make up and the shoes. For this price I would have expected a more elaborate outfit plus better earrings and perhaps a ring as well.

Blood Lines Horror High Vegas!!!
2013 IFDC Exclusive Companion Doll
Suggested Retail Price: $150.00 US
Limited Edition of 300 Dolls

Blood Lines is a 12-inch articulated vinyl doll with fully rooted jet-black hair with contrasting white streaks and hand-applied eyelashes. She is wearing an ultra-form fitted gown with black vertical ruffles, accessorized with an extravagant twisted snake necklace and matching stud earrings. She has white pumps with black lace overlay. A doll is stand included. For adult collectors ages 14 and up only.
This one is easily the best of the bunch, and the one I am trying to get. The necklace is a bit much but it fits the theme perfectly. She is perfection throughout.
Dark Fable Horror High Vegas!!!
2013 IFDC IT DIRECT Exclusive Doll
Suggested Retail Price: $150.00 US
Limited Edition of 300 Dolls
Collection: Nu.Fantasy™
Head Sculpt: Imogen™
Body Type: Fashion Royalty®
Quick Switch Feature: No
Skin Tone: FR White
Hair Colour: Duo-Toned Black and Red
Eyelashes: Yes, Hand Applied
Total Packaged Dimensions: Approximately 9.5" X 15" X 3.25"
Dark Fable is a 12-inch articulated vinyl doll with full rooted, intricately styled duo-toned hair and hand-applied eyelashes. She is dressed in a two-piece ensemble that consists of a lace overlay top with bell bottom sleeves over a black mermaid-style skirt with lots of rows of ruffles. Her accessories include a brooch, heart-shaped ring, stud earrings and black closed-toe pumps, with a blood splatter print. A doll stand is included. For adult collectors ages 14 and up only.
This is the most Goth-like of the three and the one I liked least. The Imogen sculpt looks gorgeous as usual and I love her screening but the hair and the outfit are not my cup of tea. The brooch and ring are stand outs. The shoes look like they came out of Cruella De Vil's closet.
