The London Look Poppy Parker Collection has been revealed!

We usually get a Poppy Parker collection around this time of the year lately and Integrity Toys did the unveiling of the much anticipated new mod collection, named The London Look. We had our first taste of this collection with the W Club registration Poppy and here we are getting five more Poppy Parker Collection dolls (in four offerings), all created by Integrity Toys designer, David Buttry. The overall concept is that Poppy and her friends travel to swinging London to shop for the trendiest looks at the hippest boutiques. We get three Poppy dolls, one Darla and one Ginger.

The Story:

Poppy Parker had been working hard in London. After a series of successful meetings at the "Poppy Gear" head offices, she was beyond ready to meet up with the girls to grab lunch and do some shopping! Ginger had really been on her case to up her style with some hip London looks. The first stop? Well, of course they had to hit up "The Queen's English", the boutique everyone was talking about. While Poppy had no problem finding the perfect mini dress that was up to Ginger's high standards, the staff and all the other shoppers "oohed" and "aahed" when she entered wearing her fabulous red and blue fashion! -Designed by David Buttry

The Queen's English Poppy Parker doll

The mod collections are usually the most popular between Poppy Parker collectors, and this one looks like it is no exception. First up we have a blonde, short-haired Poppy, using a very recent screening (Glamorous Pink, which I do not have). There was no boutique with that name in London back then and I wonder if they would have allowed such a title for a store front sign. She’s a perfect fit for the mod look and we get two outfits plus loads of accessories and an extra pair of high-heeled legs. Despite the short hair, the screening does not make her look like Twiggy (like She’s Not There), but she’s a bit more mature looking. David’s print reminds me of Rudi Gernreich’s work. Glad I was confirmed by my dealer.

The Story:

No matter where Poppy Parker traveled, she always wanted her best friend Darla Daley close by. And Darla was certainly not going to turn down a chance to go to London again! She really wanted to be there for Poppy, since she knew how important the "Poppy Gear" meetings were to her. But during all that sight-seeing on her last trip, she found the best boutique and couldn't wait to go back. So, when all the work was finished and it was time to play, Darla made sure they got to swing by "Smashing Time" and shop around. She found a dazzling light gold mini dress and even Ginger approved! -Designed by David Buttry

I love Darla but I wish they would give her more extravagant hair styles instead of fluffed up pony tails. She has a gorgeous outfit, with that textured coat and lovely matching dress and belt, plus a golden mini dress that fits her singing career. That dress looks like what Jolie James was wearing in her first appearance back in 2014 (that one had a trim at the edges though and it was probably by an YSL original). Her accessories are fantastic (all dolls have the Poppy clothes hanger, a shopping bag and a shoe box plus the extra high heeled feet) and the bag and earring are especially brilliant. Hope I win her in the lottery.

The Story:

Wherever Poppy Parker and her friends went in London, the word spread quickly. Paparazzi and hordes of onlookers would gather, trying to take a quick snapshot or even just simply catch a glimpse of them. Poppy knew that these scenes would definitely hit the papers, so she just had to switch up her look, even while she was out shopping! She was able to quickly duck back into London's grooviest salon, Viv Vassoon, and get a complete make-over, switch up her outfit and continue her shopping extravaganza at "Mad Mad Mod" without missing a beat! And, of course, Ginger was on hand to make sure that everything went according to plan. -Designed by David Buttry

Having played Twiggy a couple of times, it is now Peggy Moffit’s turn to be impersonated by Poppy Parker. And she does a pretty good job at it, even though it is the overall styling, outfits et al, that help cement the impression. I love her and will enter the lottery for her hoping to win but I wish she would have had a more pronounced make up, like Peggy did in most of her photos back then, and also a better trimmed five-point haircut, like the one Vidal Sassoon did on her. David said that this is one of the rare dolls he goes out of the usual route and I say go all the way instead of stopping at half point. Love the pattern of the first dress, designed by David and custom printed for the production, but also adore the window pane check dress with the peter pan collar. The faux fur coat is gorgeous in that shocking pink as is the square-handled bag she sports. Fab fab doll. Finger crossed I win the lotterly.

The Story:

While Poppy was tied up in morning business meetings, Ginger Gilroy got to hit the town and do a little shopping of her own at her favorite boutique, "Too Much!" She was going to meet back up with Poppy at the offices before they headed off together for a fancy lunch at one of the hottest spots in London. Ginger walked in, shopping bags in hand, to Poppy Parker panicking because she forgot to bring a different outfit suitable for the restaurant's dress code. "Ginger to the rescue!" she exclaimed, pulling out an adorable pink mini dress from her shopping bag. Poppy threw her arms around her and said "I owe you big!" but Ginger could still feel Poppy shaking. So, to calm her down as she got ready, she pulled out a transistor radio, played some music from the hottest new London bands and snapped a few photos of Poppy in her newest London look, you know, just in case she needed them for that IOU in the future... -Designed by David Buttry

Too Much Poppy Parker Ginger Gilroy doll set

A two-doll gift set is nothing new for the Poppy Parker collection and here we get another one, with Ginger and Poppy hitting the fashionable Carnaby Street in swinging London, Ginger in a pant suit looks quite different from her usual styles and I love her colour combo (Poppy had that comb in inverse in her & Darla’s gift set as uni girls). Poppy has a dollybird styled look, which I am not a fan of at all, although the doll herself is quite beautiful and has brown eyes. The price is a little higher than what we got before for two doll Poppy sets. I am not entering for this one. Would love to have that green top of Ginger’s though.

Poppy Parker 2018 City Sweetheart capsule collection reveal!

We knew that this year’s Poppy Parker collection theme would be something relevant to New York, as it was already announced back in the 2017 convention. And indeed, during the first Poppy reveal of the year, we discovered that the new collection is named City Sweetheart and it finds Poppy dressed in a variety of outfits for various occasions around the Big Apple. It is a small, capsule collection*, with four dolls available via dealers ( three in August and one in September) and a two-doll giftset available via right-to-buy lottery from IT Direct in late summer. I love two of the dealer dolls and the giftset, while the other two leave me cold. All doll’s have the high heeled foot, a first for a regular Poppy collection. There will not be a second wave of dolls in this collection as David mentioned, but the four IFDC Poppies, two W Club ones and the IT convention ones will be more than enough for the rest of the year.

* capsule collection is a condensed version of a designer’s vision, often limited edition, which transcends seasons and trends by being functional - read commercial. It’s made up of a few pieces which can be easily combined and interchanged.

Let’s see the collection dolls in detail, shall we?

This is the best doll of the collection and one of the best Poppy Parker doll’s ever released. Both doll and fashion are perfect and the accessories are fantastic! A book! That bag! The pendant! New cat eye sunglasses! Only minus: the dreaded, delicate, prone to break small hoop earrings. Her style is refined beatnick; the real thing would wear flat ballerina shoes.

IMG_5802.PNG

Second favourite doll from this collection! I love everything about Co-Ed Cutie, from her skintone and make up to her outfit and amazing accessories! More books! A pencil! Cat eye glasses! A watch! Her blouse print resembles molecules, a nice nod to her studies, emphasised by her Physics book! I’m confirmed for both this and Off Beat, which is great! During the Q&A session in the W Club forum that followed the presentation email, David Buttry said her skintone does not match Sweet Confection body, just in case anyone was thinking about using the body for a replacement.

Not liking this one very much. It’s probably the styling and colours that don’t make her pop out to me. She has the new sculpted gloves hands that finally put an end to the oven mittens we amassed over the years.

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

Quickswitch: No

IMG_5810.PNG

Included:

  • 12" fully articulated doll with fully rooted hair and hand-applied eyelashes
  • Fashion (light peach, full-length multi-layered gown with miniature bow details and soft, shimmering glitter accents)

  • Clutch purse
  • Faux-pearl necklace, bracelet and earrings
  • High-heeled shoes
  • Alternate pair of hands
  • Doll stand
IMG_5811.PNG

Peach is my all time least favourite colour, so I definitely don’t like this one. She’s very washed out with her pale skin and colouring, so not even the doll attracts me like other pale Poppies before her, who at least had a smokey or better defined eye to make them appealing. I like the shawl like detail around her shoulders. And it seems over mittens stick around for longer gloves, instead of the new type we saw in the Vanessa FR giftset with the sculpted hand and fabric arm. Why should this ugly thing continue? The plain accessories make this one even more boring.

What a lovely giftset! I’m a sucker for anything green, so the colour was the first thing that struck me, with its great combinations and bright hue. Darla looks gorgeous here, in her capri pants, bright accessories and flamboyant hairdo. Poppy compliments her nicely, if more demurely so, with her lovely striped dress, brooch and sublime straw clutch. I will enter the lottery for these two ladies in late summer.

Integrity Toys May 2015 release part 3: Poppy Parker "The Model Scene" collection

Poppy Parker probably is the big seller of all Integrity Toys lines, surpassing even Fashion Royalty in covetability and secondary market prices. This was again proven with the release of this year's line, named "The Model Scene": at least one of the dolls was sold out on pre-orders within the first night after the webinar and probably more of the collection followed into the following day. Only hope for those not having early access to release information would be dealers that do not take pre-orders but put their dolls on their websites as soon as the confidentiality period is over and sell on a first-come, first-served basis. David Buttry was inspired this year from the model scene of the mid-to-late 60s and so had the opportunity to give the dolls a wide variety of looks. On the other hand, the dominant character was Poppy Parker (she is the high seller after all) with only one Darla and one new male character to complete the collection. One of the Poppy dolls will be available from IT Direct - so no dealer has that one for pre-order.

This one has a beautiful face and hair do but the outfit is not my cup of tea. It looks like something Peggy Olsen would be wearing on a bad day at work. She wears a black and multi colour dot two-piece suit with white collar and cuff detail, topped off by a black flocked hat with a white grosgrain ribbon band, earrings with matching ring, white fishnet pantyhose and white shoes.Poppy comes with a blue portfolio, for her  portraits. Poppy Parker is a 12-inch fully articulated vinyl fashion doll with rooted hair and hand applied eyelashes. A doll stand is included.

This is one of my favourites and I am getting her.Poppy models a long blue floral chiffon maxi dress with a blue ribbon choker, blue faux leather shoes, small silver hoop earrings and silver bangle bracelets. I would have preferred one of the more extreme geometric patterns that were usual on this type of flowing dress but the bold colours more than make up for the (dreaded) floral. Love the face paint, the hair do and  the chocker. A nice draw-string satchel would have been the perfect compliment for this outfit. Poppy Parker is a 12-inch fully articulated vinyl fashion doll with rooted hair and hand applied eyelashes. A doll stand is included. For adult collectors ages 15 and up.

This one is completely out there. While I like the overall design of the outfit, her face and hair do (beehive Jeannie ponytail as David described it) are not what I'd do with this - maybe I'd have opted for one of those huge complicated multi-layered up-dos with braids, fat curls and fake ponytails incorporated. And definitely have her with dark hair. I must applaud the daring look though, it captures the era perfectly. Poppy wears a lime green jumpsuit with silver sequin net overlay and a lime green chiffon watteau train. Long multi colour ball and chain earrings, silver cuff, large blue ring and silver faux leather strappy high heel sandals complete this look. Poppy Parker is a 12-inch fully articulated vinyl fashion doll with rooted hair and hand applied eyelashes.A doll stand is included. For adult collectors ages 15 and up.

This one is a mini gift set, a doll with two outfits, that will be sold through IT Direct and will not be available from dealers to pre-order. The extra outfit only raises the price about $10 so that is good. I love the dress but the other ensemble could do without the pink vest - really guys? Pink vest and yellow hat on a red head? Love the print belt. Poppy wears a black and white polka dotted mock tied blouse, large yellow straw hat, hot pink faux fur vest, white cropped bell bottom with mod floral faux leather belt and faux leather black ankle boots. The second outfit is a black and charcoal floral sequin mini dress with black peter pan collar, a long silk ribbon bow and tails. Black pantyhose included. Poppy Parker is a 12-inch fully articulated vinyl fashion doll with rooted hair and hand applied eyelashes. A doll stand is included as well.

Poor Darla, she got the short stick. It was really a chance to make her look more exotic and eccentric, like one of the few models of colour that were successful in the 60s, Donyale Luna...




...and instead she comes dressed like a secretary in Mad Men. Which is not bad per se, on the contrary, the look is great - but for another collection. Maybe do Mad Men? Dawn? The afro was a step in the right direction but the rest is too plain for this line. At least she gets a bag, the other dolls do not have one (except the portfolio of the Go See one). She wears a red velvet mini dress vest, white chiffon blouse with multi colour block print, large silver hoop earrings, black daisy brooch, shiny black faux leather purse and matching boots. Darla Daley is a 12-inch fully articulated vinyl fashion doll with rooted hair and hand applied eyelashes. A doll stand is included. For adult collectors ages 15 and up.

Head Sculpt: Nigel North™ (new character)
Body Type: FR Homme 
Quick Switch Feature: No
Skin Tone: FR White
Hair Color: Blond Mix
Eyelashes: No


The possibility that a new male character would be included in this collection was discussed since last year's convention, when the line inspiration was announced. I was certainly expecting someone more along the lines of David Hemmings, the protagonist in Antonioni's Blow Up (a seminal film of the 60s inspired by David Bailey, the famous fashion photohrapher)...


...and not someone that looks so Eurotrash of the era, one of the fake German-sounding counts/princes/barons that roamed the continental night clubs looking for their next lover. Even though he's a new sculpt, he could very well fit with the Color Infusion guys or even the Jem line. Nigel North is wearing his hot pink shirt, red and purple paisley brocade jacket, purple velvet pants, silver sunglasses, silver and purple ring. He also sports a nice miniature camera. Nigel North is a 12.5-inch fully articulated vinyl fashion figure with rooted hair. A doll stand is included. For adult collectors ages 15 and up.

There is always that one doll in every collection that will be the talk of the town; become the most coveted one and disappear off the shelves in a matter of minutes. In this collection, Midas TOuch proves her name right - she was sold out in almost every dealer the night after the presentation (except the ones that put up their dolls for sale today). I tried but could not get one - she has a smaller edition size, which of course did not help. The dress looks like a golden remake of the Happening Poppy silver one and, frankly, India Poppy is much more nuanced and beautiful. But you know how things are. First AA Poppy was bound to be a success, which makes me wonder about the edition size logic. I'd get it (but not condone it) for Darla or another character, but not here. She wears a gold sequin mini dress with metallic gold organza collar, lace up gladiator sandals (which I adore), large gold disc earrings, gold cuffs with gold bangle bracelets. She also has a gold tone microphone and stand that looks fantastic. Poppy Parker is a 12-inch fully articulated vinyl fashion doll with rooted hair and hand applied eyelashes. A doll stand is included as well. For adult collectors ages 15 and up.

Skin Tone: Hungarian
Hair Color: Brown
Eyelashes: Yes, Hand Applied


With a much better looking similarly styled wedding dress as part of the Funny Face collection, I wonder why this one follows in the same form and general idea. There were so many different styles of wedding outfits in that era that we could have had something truly unique here. The doll has the Hungarian skin-tone, which is like a tan, lighter than Latina. Wild Thing Poppy had this skin tone as well and The Camera Loves Her Poppy in this collection does too. Poppy wears a white satin wedding dress with white dotted tulle overlay and a tulle wedding veil with large bow detail. Her wedding bouquet, pearl earrings with matching necklace and a wedding ring complete the look. Poppy Parker is a 12-inch fully articulated vinyl fashion doll with rooted hair and hand applied eyelashes. A doll stand is included as well. For adult collectors ages 15 and up.

Best one of the bunch - the Barbarella clone! This is the Poesie Sans Couleur version of Miss Parker. Smoky eyes and pale lips combined with Japan skin tone and pale blond hair - a winner. Plus she wears a military style spacey outfit. Love love love her. Too bad she does not have a bag. She has the largest edition size of all the dolls in the line, they probably expected this one to be the most popular. Poppy wears a silver faux leather mini dress with silver and white lurex bodice and sleeves. This look is completed by large silver triangle earrings, silver tone mod sunglasses and over-the-knee silver faux leather boots. Poppy Parker is a 12-inch fully articulated vinyl fashion doll with rooted hair and hand applied eyelashes. A doll stand is included as well. For adult collectors ages 15 and up.

Bus Stop Darla Daley - swinging sixties!

As mentioned before in this blog, the 2012 Poppy Parker collection was mod themed. Darla Daley was no exception. One of the two Darlas released was added to my collection - she has already made a guest appearance in a previous post. Here she is in all her glory.


She is wearing a striped chemisier mini dress with white piping, taken directly from one Twiggy wore in the '60s:



As you can see in the sketch above, it is a down-pat reproduction even to the shoes and accessories. The gloves are substituted by a pair of painted hands which work nicely.


The outfit is completed with a gorgeous orange bag - one of the best in this line.


The white "eyelet" tights and "spectator" strappy shoes are pure perfection. 


She has very neutral colouring which suits her skin tone well, adding to the doll's versatility.


Her hair is pulled back in a ponytail which curls at the end. Cute spit curls are framing her face, a very nice touch that compliments her immensely! White hoop earrings finish the look.


In my opinion she is the best Darla released up until now and should be in everyone's collection.


Below she is wearing Poppy's She's Not There Avengers dress while Poppy gets to wear hers - a match made in heaven:


The Twiggy clone: She's Not There Poppy Parker

When, back in spring 2012, Integrity Toys announced their line up for the year, one of the most talked about dolls was She's Not There Poppy Parker. The dominant theme of the Poppy collection was swinging 60's and London back in the days of Mary Quant and Vidal Sassoon but this one stood out as she channelled uncannily the model that defined the image of an era: Twiggy. Her short, boyishly cropped hair, her mod outfit and accessories, her bold make up, all reminded us of her. Anticipation ran high, until collectors started receiving the doll. Many complaints were written on boards and blogs about how different she was from the prototype, how washed out she looked and many people felt disappointed. I was one of the people who got the doll so let's see how she measures up to expectations.



First impressions: she is a very beautiful doll. Even inside the box she looks lovely and cute and does remind me of Twiggy a lot. People complaining she looks nothing like the promotional photos should remember that photos can be retouched/overexposed etc.  to make them look a certain way. Even Twiggy did not look like her photos did. The trick would be to see how she looked in photos taken of her and how close she would come to the prototype (which for me was not that different to begin with). 


A major problem was immediately apparent: the hood of her coat could not be fastened under her chin. Not only was the strap a bit smaller than it should have been, the hood itself could have been cut a tiny bit bigger. And the design of the hood is completely different than the one shown in the promo photos. This was indeed disappointing.


On a previous post I had written about the inspiration for this outfit and how it came from an identical (minus hood and boots) one that Diana Rigg as Emma Peel was wearing in the Avengers series. The same dress and coat were also photographed for British Vogue on Jean Shrimpton (who is another Poppy Parker look alike) and was designed by Jean Varon for the Avengers Collection.  I love the outfit. If you can forget the hood mishap, it is pure mod sixties in it's best. It consists of the white coat over the black dress with contrasting stripes, red fishnet stockings (which stain terribly, remove them immediately from your doll), boots, handbag, ball striped earrings (Twiggy was wearing many pairs in this style in editorials) and red Jackie O sunglasses like the white ones that Sweet Confection Poppy is wearing.


The bag is one of the prettiest I have seen on this line so far. And she comes with a second set of white painted glove hands to maximize the mod effect. The boots are nice but I would have preferred them without the open toe. The original outfit had shoes that looked more like a negative version of the ones Bus Stop Darla is wearing.



Her make up is, to my eyes. just like the promos - neither washed out nor pronounced. I forgot to set her eyelashes properly for most of the photo-shoot but she still looks great. Her hair is nicely cropped and I have seen many people who washed and re-set them with even better results but I still have not tried this.


When I got Bus Stop Darla, I had to re-dress Poppy with that outfit: it is one that the real Twiggy was wearing in many photos and is very iconic. The results are breathtaking.



She looks even better with this outfit than with the mod one (which looks great on Darla, but that's another photo shoot). It inspired me to have a series of photos tampered with to make them look vintage, like they were lifted off magazines of the 60's. I hope you like them.










The set was made by using Karim Rashid's chess - the colours and design matched mod-Poppy very well!
