Dolly Days - Day Two: The Weekend In The Poconos is the new East 59th collection!

Dolly-Days Day 2 was, much like in previous years, the day of the unveiling of the new East 59th Collection, designed by the amazing Chris Stoeckel. The collection is called The Weekend In The Poconos. Poconos was a famous resort destination in the 1950s and the concept is that some of the East 59th characters spend a weekend relaxing there. So it’s a collection of mix-and-match sportswear and matching luggage.

Three of the four dolls will be available via Integrity Toys' authorized dealers, while Laird Drake is an IT Direct item and will only be available via a right-to-buy lottery.

Stroll In The Woods

Coralynn "Cora" Kwan™ Dressed Doll

East 59th®: The Weekend In The Poconos Collection

Edition Size: 600

Expected Ship Date: Mid-February 2024

MSRP: $160 + S & H

AVAILABLE ONLY FROM IT DEALERS

Head Sculpt: Coralynn

Body Type: E59 1.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled And Articulated Ankle

Skin Tone: Blush

Hair Color: Red

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

The Story:

Coralynn "Cora" Kwan is perfectly dressed for an afternoon stroll in the woods with her good friend Laird! Wearing the latest in 1950s sportswear attire, this girl is ready to bask in the natural beauty of the Poconos. A gorgeous time to be celebrated ahead with so many memories to be had, she can't wait to get going!

Included:

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

• Glamorous mix-and-match sportswear look comprised of high-waisted woven plaid pants and a navy blue traveling coat with matching plaid accent details;

• Scarlet red turtle neck with separate removable scarlet red hood/cowl;

• Tangerine and white medium-sized East 59th monogrammed luggage with magnetic closure;

• One thicker red removable belt for the coat and one thinner red removable belt for the pants;

• Golden earrings;

• Red flats (designed to fit the articulated ankle lower legs, included);

• Alternate pair of high-heeled lower legs;

• Pair of long-manicured hands;

• Pair of alternate short-gloved hands;

• Doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

A redhead version of Cora - this makes her now available in three basic hair colours: blonde, black and redhead - next one should be a brunette. I love the outfit, sporty but chic and elegant, in a way that only the 1950s could. She has a suitcase and each doll has a different luggage item, so all four make a complete luggage collection. Otherwise, her accessories are minimal, which didn’t use to be the case with this line. The good thing is that she comes with extra high heeled legs, in case she has to attend a cocktail party later on. I’d get her if I had a bigger budget - all three ladies ship mid February, so it is quite fast.

Seeing The Sights

Maeve Rocha™ Dressed Doll

East 59th®: The Weekend In The Poconos Collection

Edition Size: 600

Expected Ship Date: Mid-February 2024

MSRP: $160 + S & H

AVAILABLE ONLY FROM IT DEALERS

Head Sculpt: Maeve

Body Type: E59 1.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled And Articulated Ankle

Skin Tone: Sunkissed

Hair Color: Honey Blonde

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

The Story:

Maeve Rocha is a girl of adventure! Always ready to discover new glamorous locales, she was the first one to jump on the occasion of joining Laird and the other girls on this fabulous weekend retreat in the Poconos! The resort is so gorgeous, the place is so warm, inviting, and romantic, everything a girl desires is on the horizon!

Included:

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

• Impeccable mix-and-match sportswear look comprised of a woven plaid jumper/dress and cropped navy blue jacket;

• Removable brown turtleneck;

• Matching brown beret;

• Tangerine and white East 59th monogrammed hatbox with magnetic closure;

• Removable blue belt;

• Golden earrings;

• Blue flats (designed to fit the articulated ankle lower legs, included);

• Alternate pair of high-heeled lower legs;

• Pair of long-manicured hands;

• Pair of alternate short-gloved hands;

• Doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

Maeve makes an appearance again, this time as a blonde, with darker skin. I am not crazy about the outfit - it reminds me of The Chauffeur’s Daughter Sabrina doll, which I did not get because of the drab outfit. Love the hat and bag. She too has the extra high heeled legs.

Item # 73059

Traveling In Style

Evelyn Weaverton® Dressed Doll

East 59th®: The Weekend In The Poconos Collection

Edition Size: 600

Expected Ship Date: Mid-February 2024

MSRP: $160 + S & H

AVAILABLE ONLY FROM IT DEALERS

Head Sculpt: Evelyn

Body Type: E59 1.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: Blush

Hair Color: Sable Brown

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

The Story:

Evelyn Weaverton is a fashionable woman of substance who knows how to travel in style, and true to herself, her arrival at one of the most upscale resorts in the Poconos made quite a ruckus and we love her for it! All the other guests agreed, this is how it's done!

Included:

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

• Luxurious mix-and-match sportswear look comprised of a woven plaid knee-length skirt and button-down blazer jacket;

• Cocoon overcoat with portrait collar;

• Orange-red head wrap;

• Tangerine and white East 59th monogrammed train case with magnetic closure;

• Removable orange-red belt;

• Orange-red pumps;

• "Pearl" necklace and earrings;

• Pair of long-manicured hands;

• Pair of alternate short-gloved hands;

• Doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

Evelyn is always impressive and this appearance is no exception, even if she’s in the sportiest we have ever seen her so far - in a very 1950s way of course. Her look is very elegant and well put together. The small case is much like the one Most Sophisticated Sabrina had, but in different colours.

Falling Leaves

Laird Drake® Fashion Figure

East 59th®: The Weekend In The Poconos Collection

Edition Size: 600

Expected Ship Date: Mid-To-Late March 2024

W CLUB ONLY IT DIRECT RIGHT-TO-BUY LOTTERY

Head Sculpt: Laird

Body Type: Homme 1.5

Skin Tone: Hungarian

Hair Color: Black Flocking

MSRP: $170 + S & H

Special W Club RTB Winner Price: $160 + S & H

Sales method: This is being sold to W Club members via a W Club right-to-buy lottery offer. Should any product remain after fully placing the lottery, it would then be made available to the public and for purchasing extras at the MSRP.

The Story:

Laird Drake is a natural born leader, but even one of the most prominent advert execs on East 59th needs a little rest and relaxation from time to time! What better way to do just that than to book a fabulous weekend getaway with his favorite ladies! For him, the Poconos are just the right mix of pure fun and sophistication rolled into one and let us tell you, this debonair man of the world is ready for it all!

Included:

• 12.75-inch articulated fashion figure with flocked hair;

• Handsome traveling ensemble consisting of a bulky orange-red cable-knit sweater, brown trousers and woven plaid overcoat;

• Brown fedora;

• Brown penny loafers;

• Orange-red socks;

• Tangerine and white large East 59th monogrammed luggage with magnetic closure;

• Watch accessory;

• Two pairs of hands;

• Doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity;

Dashing Laird makes an appearance very quickly after his previous one, if you consider that it took years to make his second. Again a lottery doll (all the ladies are dealer dolls), with a limited edition of 600, it will be a bloodbath. I love his look and the colouring of it all - he looks smashing. He has a suitcase and a fedora hat, although I’d rather see him in a cap for a weekend in a resort. Come to think of it though, it is the first fedora that appears in the line, and it was about time for the guys, as it was the ubiquitous man’s hat back then. I entered the lottery, as he will be arriving mid to late March, which helps with better payment scheduling.

In case you did not notice, the collection is so coherent stylisticaly and visually, that the ladies can exchange pieces anytime - Chris Stoeckel took some photos to show it off. And you can also check a video of the dolls.

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

Integrity Toys online event 2023: 7 sins

Another year that Integrity Toys held an online event in place of an actual, in person convention: called 7 Sins, it gave us seven new dolls, all available only to W Club members through right-to-buy lotteries. The dolls belong to various lines from the IT line-up: East 59th, Poppy Parker, Nu Face, Fashion Royalty and Monarchs Homme. Poppy Parker and FR had two dolls each, while the rest of the lines had one. Integrity Toys decided to have all their designers and Percy Newsom, their CEO, meet in Las Vegas with Carol Roth. The City of Sins seems a fitting place for this theme - just imagine it being an actual convention there. But fear no more - at the last moments of the online event, Percy announced that the company will hold their first in person convention for 2024, no more details given. There were two separate videos presenting the dolls, with Carol welcoming each designer to talk about them. The quality of the videos was not very professional, and some of the gimmicks made people look and act awkward but by the end of it they seemed to have fun. Which is always good when you’re working. A game was also held, giving rewards to people who participated in an online IT contest. The collection overall is strong, on a par with the Curated event earlier this year. Let’s check out the dolls.

Head Sculpt: Victoire 2.0/Della

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: FR Black

Hair Color: Black

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

MSRP: $180 + S & H

Special W Club Price: $165 + S & H

Sales method: This is being sold to W Club members via a W Club right-to-buy lottery offer. Should any product remain after fully placing the lottery, it would then be made available to the public, and for purchasing extras at the MSRP.

The Story:

Featured in the latest ad campaign for "Desires Lingerie", East 59th model Della Roux explores her more lustful side, as she slips into a little something "more comfortable" for the camera. Will she be the object of your desire? Designed by Chris Stoeckel.

Included:

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

• Lustful lingerie set composed of a strapless satin and lace bra top with bow detail, matching corselette with attached garter belts and separate matching satin panties;

• Dramatic full-length A-line lace peignoir;

• Black thigh-high stockings;

• "Jewel" and "pearl" adorned cuff bracelet;

• Matching elaborate "jewelled" earrings;

• Cigarette holder accessory;

• Black high-heeled slippers with pom pom detail;

• Pair of long-manicured hands;

• Alternate pair of grip hands;

• Doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

Another Della that looks like all previous Dellas a lot, just changing hairstyle and outfit. I love this hairdo, it gives her the look of a 50s silver screen legend, but not enough to justify the cost. And I do not want any more lingerie ensembles in my collection, I already have tons. As for the sin she’s representing, lust=lingerie is a bit expected, no? Just think of her in a slinky semi transparent sequinned floor length sheath with a thigh-high slit up her leg and a dawn feather coat a la Dietrich.

Sales method: This is being sold to W Club members via a W Club right-to-buy lottery offer. Should any product remain after fully placing the lottery, it would then be made available to the public, and for purchasing extras at the MSRP.

The Story:

Financier Paolo Marino normally lives a fast-paced, high-stakes type of lifestyle, but now and then, even one of the most successful men in the world needs a break... And when he does, it all stops. Set for an extremely lazy day of doing very little, our man Paolo is just happy to lounge around sipping on one of the expensive spirits he collected to celebrate one of his top deals. But should he worry about anything right now? Nah, maybe tomorrow. Designed by Vaughn Sawyers.

Included:

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

Paolo Marino may be a Wall Street shark but here he looks like a wannabe Miami pimp. A bear skin rug? Really? Is Hugh Hefner his idol? The outfit looks like something Thiago would wear - are they sharing wardrobes? What else are they sharing? So many questions! Please IT, no more men in ponytails, unless they are samurai.Speaking of which, maybe his idol is not Hefner but Iron Fist. Cringe.

Sales method: This is being sold to W Club members via a W Club right-to-buy lottery offer. Should any product remain after fully placing the lottery, it would then be made available to the public, and for purchasing extras at the MSRP.

The Story:

So you would think that sweet, beautiful Poppy Parker has it all, right? Wrong! The truth? Every once in a while, even everyone's favorite teen model wants a little more out of life! Should she covet her frenemy's sass? We don't think so because Poppy is just perfect the way she is! Designed by David Buttry.

Included:

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

• Cocktail mini-dress with top-stitched paneled bustier;

• Custom embroidered three-quarter sleeve swing coat with beading detail;

• Green satin platform heels with ribbon straps;

• Oversized sunglasses with green-tinted lenses;

• Green satin clutch purse;

• Green "jewel" ring;

• Alternate pair of Poppy Parker hands;

• Doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

I am always partial to anything green, so this Poppy would have been right up my alley if: a) I did not intensely dislike this hairdo and b) did not have a limited budget. I love almost everything about her and that emerald green eye shadow is to die for. Maybe Ginger would have been the obvious choice, but look at that close up photo and tell me if it does not scream envy out loud. BTW she has the Oh La La screening.

Sales method: This is being sold to W Club members via a W Club right-to-buy lottery offer. Should any product remain after fully placing the lottery, it would then be made available to the public, and for purchasing extras at the MSRP.

The Story:

Meet sweet and demure Poppy Parker, a popular teen fashion model who will be featured in an extravagant magazine shoot that is the exact opposite of who she is! Will she be able to pull off the image of a haughty debutante who wants it all at any cost? Will the public even buy that Poppy Parker could be like this, even a little? Nah! It's all just a game and we all know it! Designed by David Buttry.

Included:

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

• Two-piece pale pink brocade skirt suit with oversized faux-fur collar;

• Pale pink bustier top bodysuit;

• Layered micro-chain necklace

• Pale pink "stone" earrings and matching oversized ring;

• Cuff bracelet with pale pink "stone" accents;

• Set of three bangle bracelets with pale pink "stone" accents;

• Bright pink cat-eye sunglasses;

• Pale pink quilted purse with micro-chain shoulder strap;

• "Never Enough" shopping bag accessory;

• "More & More" shopping bag accessory;

• Pair of long-manicure nail hands;

• Alternate pair of Poppy Parker hands;

• Doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

That’s a Barbie Poppy if I’ve ever seen one! Blonde and dressed in pink, with lots of goodie bags to signify greed (and to drive home the point even more, look at those logos on them), she’s like a reincarnation of Margot Robbie if she ever decides to do “Poppy Parker: The Movie”. Not very exciting apart from that, in contrast to her envious twin. The beauty mark is a lovely touch. Does the texture of her suit remind anyone of paper towels?

Head Sculpt: Erin 2.0

Body Type: NF 3.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: Blush

Hair Color: Manic Pink

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

MSRP: $190 + S & H

Special W Club Price: $175 + S & H

Sales method: This is being sold to W Club members via a W Club right-to-buy lottery offer. Should any product remain after fully placing the lottery, it would then be made available to the public, and for purchasing extras at the MSRP.

The Story:

Young, rich, and beautiful Erin Salston loves to feel in control at all times, but let the boys be warned: cross her, and you'll be quick to understand the true meaning behind "hell hath no fury like a woman scorned". Hopefully, the vivacious fire that burns in her and drives her creativity can be contained; we'd hate to think what would happen if she truly lashed out! Erin is a fiery beauty to admire and respect... Fire extinguishers are sold separately (lol)! Designed by Jessy Ayala.

Included:

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

• Angry red punk-inspired plaid strapless mini-dress with micro chain and padlock charm accents;

• Biker-inspired short-sleeved swing jacket with faux-zippers, studs and buckle details;

• Bright red cropped 3/4 sleeve turtleneck;

• Lunch bag clutch with custom-printed "doodles";

• Colorful magnetic circle button "pins";

• Two punk-inspired spiked cuff bracelets;

• "Construction nail" ring;

• One "safety pin" earring, one flame earring, and two little hoop pins designed to look like a double piercing;

• Red platform heels with buckle accents;

• Pair of long-manicured hands;

• Alternate pair of grip hands;

• Doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

Best doll of the bunch alongside the following one, Erin is smashing it here. I am not that crazy about pink hair (pink and wrath don’t match that well) but it goes well with the overall punk aesthetic - Vivienne Westwood meets Alexander McQueen on Barbie. Also notice in the photo above that she has an undercut, like a punk girl would. She also reminds me a lot of the Royal Life 2007 convention dolls, especially Odd girl Out Colette Duranger - is this another Moment for Nu Face and Jessy? Is the paper bag clutch a trick or treat reference?

Sales method: This is being sold to W Club members via a W Club right-to-buy lottery offer. Should any product remain after fully placing the lottery, it would then be made available to the public, and for purchasing extras at the MSRP.

The Story:

Just like Narcissus, the man from Greek mythology who fell in love with his own reflection, top model Isabella Alves redefines vanity with her own vision of self-obsessed beauty. Just look at her, she's perfect! The mirror she's chained to her arm always speaks the truth, or does it? Designed by Jessy Ayala.

Included:

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

• Glorious couture ensemble composed of a mirror finish micro-sequin bandeau top and matching long skirt with exaggerated bouffant peplum and dramatic back slit;

• Hand-held mirror with chain detail;

• Sinuous snake arm bracelet;

• Compact and lipstick accessories;

• Newly developed transparent clutch purse with magnetic closure;

• "Jeweled" earrings and matching ring set;

• Strappy open-toe heels;

• Pair of long-manicured hands;

• Alternate pair of grip hands;

• Doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

Isabella with a mirror to show vanity - plus her “mirrored” outfit. Instead of reusing the same mirror that Nadja had in the Heirloom collection, maybe it could have been an actual mirror bag like the Lady Dior one by Frederic Leclere, instead of the transparent one she actually comes with (see below). That might have also justified the $180 price tag (ouch!), because the dress and accessories don’t. By the way the dress is the custom Vera Wang outfit that Zendaya rocked at the 2021 CFDA Awards. Love the intricate hair do - may be that is the reason for the pricing? Overall nice but not $180 nice.

Sales method: This is being sold to W Club members via a W Club right-to-buy lottery offer. Should any product remain after fully placing the lottery, it would then be made available to the public, and for purchasing extras at the MSRP.

The Story:

Socialite and famous European TV personality Dania Zarr knows how to enjoy every single one of life's little pleasures and is more than happy to share with us mere mortals on her new afternoon lifestyle show "Mangez Bien, Vivez Beaucoup"!

Constantly promoting the "jewels" of French cuisine and other decadent indulgences of the rich and famous is a hard job, but someone's got to set an example! Sure, it would be easy for incredulous bystanders to say things like "That gal better watch out, all those good things will eventually get to her", but no, trust her, it's all an illusion! Definitely follow her for more tips on how to live a delightfully decadent life and take a bite out of all of life's luxuries! Designed by Jessy Ayala.

Included:

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

• Indulgent layered look comprised of a form-fitted strapless knee-length brocade dress with a full lace slip-skirt worn under a removable voluminous, floor-length over-skirt with a separate extravagant train;

• Flower brooch;

• Coiled "stone" bracelet;

• Spider ring;

• "Jeweled" earrings;

• Black velvet choker;

• Peach pleated satin clutch purse;

• High-heeled pumps with bow detail;

• Pair of long-manicured hands;

• Pair of painted gloved hands with peach satin opera-length arm covers;

• Doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

Wow! Maybe best doll of the event, this Dania is amazing, The dress is very Balenciaga (both old and new) and it is the gift that keeps on giving, with three distinct looks created from it, depending on the pieces attached or not. The doll is breathtakingly beautiful, with her sleek up-do and great make up. My only complaint is that I would have prefered black velvet opera gloves and a shiny metallic clutch to finish the look. A miniature fan would have also looked good with this. Love that choker. We have seen the spider as a choker before but I do not get how it connects with gluttony. Which otherwise is shown with the dress ever growing volumes as Jessy said during the presentation.

The Story:

Any day is a good day for a picnic, or so the saying goes, however for the ladies of Fashion Royalty, this statement always takes on a high-fashion twist! With this new couture, sexy look, your favourite Parisian socialites will be ready for any glamorous picnic, no matter how decadent and sinful it may be.

Very interesting outfit - if my budget allowed it I would enter for this. Its inspiration is from look 23 in the Schiaparelli Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2022/23 collection, (even the bag) but would have preferred the outfit to look closer to the original one. The snake shoes can be found online with a little search too.

The Story:

Will she be good? Will she be bad? No matter what, Poppy Parker dresses the part and takes a walk on the wild side! With her new devilish good looks, our gal Poppy (or maybe one of her fabulously groovy friends) can now turn heads at any party! Designed by David Buttry.

Included:

• Devilishly delightful red lamé mini-dress;

• Layered tulle cape and scarf;

• Red panty;

• Red clutch with contrasting "horned" detail;

• "Ruby" red jewelry set comprised of necklace, bracelet, earrings and rings;

• "Pearl" ring;

• Cat-eye sunglasses;

• Shiny red pumps (designed to fit high-heeled feet);

• Certificate of authenticity.

Nice fashion outfit for Poppy. Not crazy about the tulle coat and the fit of the dress on her body around her belly looks wrong - the tulip shape in this scale is problematic with fabrics like this. Maybe it is something that can be taken care of in styling, as it looks ok when not on the doll (see below). Despite the horns on the clutch, she looks more Christmas-y than devilish. Love her jewellery. The doll is Sizzling in Paris Poppy Parker with a slightly different hairstyle- David said it was an option they considered when designing the doll.

Adornements is the new East 59th collection by Chris Stoeckel for Integrity Toys!

A new East 59th Collection was presented to W Club members, created of course by Integrity Toys' designer Chris Stoeckel. It is the Adornments Collection and the story-line says that Laird Drake's agency just signed a very lucrative deal with Adorn, one of New York City's most prestigious luxury jewellers, to launch a smashing ad campaign promoting some of their most elaborate jewellery. So you can expect lots of gems and glamour in the designs. Here is Chris talking about the collection:

Most of the dolls are available via Integrity Toys' authorized dealers, Constance Madssen is an IT Direct doll and was only be available via a right-to-buy lottery in the W Club.

AVAILABLE ONLY FROM IT DEALERS

Head Sculpt: Aurelia

Body Type: E59 1.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: FR Black

Hair Color: Brown

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

The Story:

How lucky can a gal be? Even if it's just for a few fleeting moments, Lady Aurelia Grey is thrilled to have been offered the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to wear one of Adorn Jeweller's most intricate creations! In a moment sure to go down in fashion history, she's sure to be remembered as "the face" who wore one of the most intricate Amethyst jewellery sets ever created! Designed by Chris Stoeckel.

Included:

12-inch articulated doll with rooted hair, braided in an up-do, as well as hand-applied eyelashes;

Form-fitting knee-length brocade cocktail dress with contrasting jewel-tone bust line;

Short-sleeve faux fur jacket;

Jewel-tone faux-leather handbag with woven chain shoulder strap;

"Amethyst" encrusted bib necklace and matching earrings;

What a lovely lady! Aurelia looks amazing and the whole set exudes luxury and glam in the proper style of the era the story unfolds. It is great to see different colouring on the make up of these dolls - the purple tones compliment the outfit and the amethyst jewellery perfectly. I would have preferred a fabric stole instead of the fur bolero, bringing the whole set more towards an evening ensemble. Chris said she also references Purple Factor Adèle Makeda from 2003.

Item # 73052

Love Knot Of Gold

Victoire Roux™ Dressed Doll

The East 59th® The Adornments Collection

Edition Size: 750

Expected Ship Date: September 2023

MSRP: $160 + S & H

AVAILABLE ONLY FROM IT DEALERS

Head Sculpt: Victoire 2.0

Body Type: E59 1.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: FR White

Hair Color: Honey Blonde

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

The Story:

The image of sophistication, Victoire Roux nailed the role of city chic in the latest ad campaign for New York's very own Adorn Jewellers! Dressed in a stylish creation by Chris Stoeckel, Victoire is the perfect model to showcase the "Love Knot Of Gold", one of the purest pieces of gold jewellery ever crafted by man!

Included:

12-inch articulated doll with short rooted hair, styled in a fabulous finger-wave look, as well as hand-applied eyelashes;

Sleeveless/backless form-fitting knee-length houndstooth cocktail dress;

Removable houndstooth shawl/cape;

Fabulous black head-wrap;

Black patent "leather" handbag;

Black patent "leather" pumps with cut-out sides;

Golden knotted cuff bracelet and golden earrings;

Pair of long-manicured hands;

Pair of alternate full-length gloved hands;

Doll stand;

Certificate of authenticity.

The problem with most Victoire dolls is that they are gorgeous yet usually look alike so much that I do not get them, missing out on gorgeous outfits like this. The pattern looks more like gingham than houndstooth (as the description says). Love the headband. The bag looks like a Birkin (which was introduced in 1984), which is quite the anachronism, as a Kelly would be much more suitable and era appropriate. Guess Hermès stole the design from someone, right?

Item # 73051

Picture this: just like a dream, Coralynn "Cora" Kwan appears to us, dressed as the perfect, ultra-glamorous 1950's socialite, ready to host New York's elite at her posh penthouse, high above one of the city's most fashionable avenues! The most incredible thing about this story? The shining jewels our favourite lady got to wear to sell this fantasy for Adorn Jewellers!

Glamorous one-piece slack-and-bodice capri-length satin lounging suit;

Golden open-toe pumps;

"Aquamarine" covered golden drop earrings;

Coralynn looks gorgeous again in this lovely outfit, which would have looked even better if it had a hostess skirt over it, much like the first Constance had. Love the bejewelled cigarette holder. I ordered this one immediately.

Item # 73054

Right Time Of Night

Laird Drake® Fashion Figure

The East 59th® The Adornments Collection

Edition Size: 750

Expected Ship Date: September 2023

MSRP: $160 + S & H

AVAILABLE ONLY FROM IT DEALERS

Head Sculpt: Laird

Body Type: Homme 1.5

Skin Tone: FR White

Hair Colour: Light Brown

The Story:

When he signed the deal with Adorn, Laird Drake did not hesitate to immediately reserve a spot on the cover of his favourite gentlemen's magazine for him to appear on in person, because, after all, save for maybe his beau, he knew that he was the only man in New York who could correctly model Adorn's line of ultra-masculine high-end timepieces! The company's lead designers did not even try to argue; there was no point fighting it, Laird Drake was just the most elegant man in the City!

Included:

12.75-inch articulated fashion figure with a combination of sleek rooted and flocked hair;

Perfectly tailored tuxedo ensemble, a complete with dinner jacket, trousers, shirt, cummerbund and bow tie;

Patent "leather" dress shoes;

White dress socks;

Removable boutonniere;

Golden watch;

Doll stand;

Certificate of authenticity;

Laird looks like Leonardo di Caprio a lot in this new incarnation. Both hairstyle and face-paint are so much different than the first Laird released. He looks very glamorous in his white tie ensemble. The white socks are jarring on this - they are NEVER worn with anything for evening dress, much less a white tie suit. Chris said he wanted to have a break from the pants to the shows, to make the latter pop more but… He added that it is also a nod to Audrey wearing white socks with black loafers in Funny Face, which is something totally different of course. Also cummerbunds are usually left to black-tie dressing or musicians in swing bands when it comes to white tie, a waistcoat is the proper item. At least the pants look like they have two galon as is proper. When are we going to see a proper jacket with tails in these retro era gents? If he had one I would have snatched him in a second. His forehead is low for my taste. EDIT: the production dolls look like they have a much higher hairline than the prototype.

Twilight In Blue Topaz

Constance Madssen® Dressed Doll

The East 59th® The Adornments Collection

Edition Size: 750

Expected Ship Date: September 2023

W CLUB ONLY IT DIRECT RIGHT-TO-BUY LOTTERY

Head Sculpt: Constance

Body Type: E59 1.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: FR White

Hair Color: Black

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

MSRP: $170 + S & H

Special W Club RTB Winner Price: $150 + S & H

Sales method: This is being sold to W Club members via a W Club right-to-buy lottery offer. Should any product remain after fully placing the lottery, it would then be made available to the public and for purchasing extras at the MSRP.

The Story:

Every major ad campaign needs a show-stopping "piece de resistance" and it is a well-known fact that picking just the right "face" can either make or break any perfectly orchestrated plan. With this in mind, Laird Drake had the genius to cast Constance Madssen as his leading cover girl. With the only diva in town who could rival in beauty with the vibrant blue of the most luxurious topaz ever set in gold at the helm, the East 59th Agency set the tone on how precious jewels should be advertised forever!

Included:

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

Show-stopping multi-layered couture gown, constructed in a jewel-tone brocade, with attached tulle underskirt and a flower ornament attached to the bust line;

Pair of matching brocade panties;

Maxi-length slim skirt, adorned with a bouquet of flowers at the waist (the bouquet is not detachable);

Statement necklace and earring set drenched in "blue topaz";

Black clutch purse;

Black pumps with "blue topaz" ornaments;

Pair of long-manicured hands;

Pair of alternate full-length gloved hands;

Doll stand;

Certificate of authenticity.

Easily the best doll of the collection, Constance looks amazing here, reminding me a lot of Maria Callas. Appropriately enough, this year is the 100th anniversary from her birth. She also reminds me of a Latina superstar, María Félix, which just had a doll released by Mattel. The gown is spectacular and I love the vinyl gloves, even though the material should have been different to match the era. She has the best jewellery of all the dolls and I think a small, crown-like hair ornament would have completed the ensemble. Even her shoes are bejewelled. Happy to say I won her at the lottery!

You can see the dolls in the video below:

Stay Tuned Day 1: Integrity Toys online 2022 event begins!

It was announced earlier this year, that Integrity Toys would forgo even an online convention for 2022, doing instead a series of doll reveals via email during a week in November. The event was open to all W Club members, the theme was TV shows (hence the name Stay Tuned) and the dolls would be either sold via lottery or made to order. This past week, all W Club members were receiving three emails daily: the first, early on each day, gave a hint of what was to come by showing a retro TV display and also giving out a $100 IT gift card to those participating, the second one had a video clip made to look like a tv ad for the show that was the inspiration, showing the doll/dolls and featuring a voiceover by Alain Tremblay (usually hilarious) and the third was the actual reveal mail.

How did it go overall? Hmmm, not quite as expected. It did not even have the charm and fun of the annual Dolly Days online event that IT does usually before (and the latest was after) the holidays. Which is strange, considering that IT has done it before many times. The combination of big expectations from club members (especially now that everyone could participate) combined with a lacklustre offering from Integrity, resulted in a mixed bag. Let’s check out each day’s dolls in separate posts and see what was all about.

The first day was dedicated to East 59th - two dolls inspired by the 80s prime time soap opera Dynasty. Integrity Toys' take was named "Legacy", and it starred Victoire and her sister Della Roux playing alternate versions of Alexis Carrington-Colby and Dominique Deveraux, designed by the one and only Chris Stoeckel. The TV clip and the company’s blurb for the show are below.

In a classic episode titled "Burnt Champagne", be ready for a shocking display of disgraceful behaviour amongst the rich and famous! These bitter foes are ready to brawl over their love for the finer things in life and of course, settle the score over a man, as they come to blows to decide who will marry Blaine Wellington, the richest oil tycoon in America! Who will get the house and who will get little else but a first-class ticket out of Dodge? These two have the most peculiar way of sorting things out!

Della Roux™ Dressed Doll

The 2022 Integrity Toys Event: Stay Tuned

Edition Size: 750

Expected Ship Date: In stock, will ship once RTB lottery winners have paid

W CLUB ONLY IT DIRECT RIGHT-TO-BUY LOTTERY

Head Sculpt: Victoire 2.0/Della

Body Type: E59

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: FR Black

Hair Color: Raven

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

MSRP: $185 + S & H

Special W Club RTB Winner Price*: $165 + S & H

Sales method: This is being sold to W Club members via a W Club right-to-buy lottery offer. Should any product remain after fully placing the lottery, it would then be made available to the public and for purchasing extras at the MSRP.

*Special W Club pricing is limited to one per membership

The Story:

Meet Della Roux in the role of Monique Verreault, the sophisticated heiress of one of the richest American families, returning home after a long European vacation, only to discover that her arch-rival, outrageous millionaire entrepreneur and socialite, Lexie Corrie, has been busy seducing her man, oil baron Blaine Wellington during her absence!

Watch as the heat is about to turn up as these ladies are ready to fight for their right to be with the love of their lives in LEGACY!

Included:

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

• Extravagant evening dress featuring a floor-length white satin skirt with a golden micro-sequined deep V-neckline halter top;

• Matching long-sleeved satin collarless evening blazer with golden micro-sequinned trim;

• Oversized earrings with faux-diamond "stone" accents;

• Oversized cuff bracelet with faux-diamond "stone" accents;

• Dramatic floor-length faux-ermine wrap;

• Pair of golden sling-back heels;

• Pair of long-manicured hands;

• Alternate pair of "grip" hands;

• "Stay Tuned" doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

Another Della that has the same face as all her previous versions. It is a bit anticlimactic to have a favourite character looking the same in every one of the versions available - even Poppy Parker has more variety in her make up and she has had some of her face painting plates lost forever! Even worse, she looks a lot like the Pink Champagne Aurelia Grey doll from 2019 - the hairstyle and the fabrics used. Which, together with the price and timing (the lottery dolls are ready to ship after the results are announced) lead me to say no. The price of the doll is $165 for club members, five bucks more than their January release dolls - but the previous ones had more elaborate outfits and more accessories too. Bummer. Just for the record, the IT doll that is the very incarnation of Dominique Deveraux for me will always be Main Attitude Adèle Makéda - she’s the high mark all others have to compete against.

The Story:

Cast against her real-life half-sister, Della Roux, in LEGACY, a dramatic series about the sordid life of the rich and famous, we introduce Victoire Roux in the role of Lexie Corrie, a desperate attention-seeking millionaire entrepreneur and socialite, who currently has her heart set on her rival's beau, oil baron Blaine Wellington!

Fans will all agree that these are the roles of a lifetime for the Roux sisters, and sparks are sure to erupt on and off the set!

Included:

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

• Glamorous, 80's inspired couture sequined gown, with a dramatic red satin bouffant sleeve;

• Oversized earrings with faux-ruby "stone" accents;

• Oversized cuff bracelet with faux-ruby "stone" accents;

• Dramatic floor-length faux-mink wrap;

• Pair of shiny blood-red sling-back pumps;

• Pair of long-manicured hands;

• Alternate pair of "grip" hands;

• "Stay Tuned" doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

Victoire looks quite different here from her normal style. Beautiful and elegant, without the touch of over the top exuberance that typified Alexis Carrington-Colby (as played by the inimitable Joan Collins) in the 80s. She looks too much of a proper lady, if you get my point. We have seen her in red sequins before, in a different style. The bubble cut looks a bit weird, not quite there for Alexis, more like something my mother would have worn back then (or even my grandmother). And again, the complete look does not feel quite enough for the asking price. The screening is the one used on Late Night Dream, with more intense colouring.

New East 59th Basic dolls are announced!

Integrity Toys had announced that they would gradually change the basic dolls in all lines earlier this year. The first new one have been unveiled and they are from the East 59th line, designed by Chris Stoeckel. A new Victoire Roux and the first basic guy, Augustus "Gus" Blake, are the new additions to the basic doll releases. Integrity Toys is tweaking the process slightly. For W Club members, they are taking a pre-order for the new entries in the East 59th collection and members may order 1 per membership at special W Club pricing. That means at least one guaranteed doll per member, which is great! No more hassle and anxiety. It makes more sense for me to have members pre-order and have dolls made to order, just like with regular club dolls. Easier for the company and the buyers! The company also mentioned that “While the initial idea behind these dolls is to manufacture them "Open Edition" style (which means that more will be produced once they sell out), Integrity Toys reserves the right to "retire" these designs based on their overall popularity level at any point. Once that happens, it means that they won't be produced again.” 

Non members will be able to order the dolls once they come in stock. Depending on the edition size of the initial pre-order, it is possible that orders may have to be shipped in waves (meaning, that even though you pre-order now, you may not be in the first batch of dolls that arrive and may have to wait for a second or third batch to be produced). We will know after May 20th if multiple shipping waves are necessary.

I was not expecting another Victoire as a basic doll for East 59th but here she is, in all her blonde bombshell glory. I suppose they wanted to add a blonde one, after the redhead and raven versions. This one has a better swimsuit, two piece instead of a single one, and it is in a lovely polka dot fabric. Typical accessories, lovely face. The club discount price is the basics price of last year, the public will be getting them $10.00 more.

I love that we are getting a Darius/Gus as a basic doll, he’s one of my favourite guys and cannot have enough of him. Nubian skin tone too! I love his swimming trunks (can we have a real life pair like this to buy too?) and he’ll look gorgeous next to Laird in his striped shirt. I’m definitely getting this one! I’m not so sure about the pleather espadrilles though.
