Poppy Parker Fashion Teen is back - and she brought a friend with her!

Integrity Toys are doing the Happy Dolly Days week again this year - this means a week full of everyday new doll announcements and releases. The first dolls to be presented to the W Club this Monsay were from this year's Poppy Parker Fashion Teen collection. These are 16" dolls and, this time, apart from Poppy, feature her best friend, Mallory Martin. And guess what - the sculpt of Mallory is none other than the old Tulabelle sculpt. So people who loved that face will still have a chance to her new dolls in that likeness. Let's see the four dolls, now available to pre-order from Integrity Toys dealers.

Item # 84009 
Clear Over Here

Estimated Ship Date: Approximately Late Q1/Early Q2, 2016
Suggested Retail Price: $150.00 

Doll Tech Specs:
Head Sculpt: Fashion Teen™ Poppy
Body Type: Fashion Teen™ Poppy (16-inch format)
Quick Switch Feature: No

Poppy wears a bright orange and blue halter neckline dress with a bow detail at the neck. The look features a clear vinyl coat with orange piping trim. White fishnets, blue and orange kitten heels, and an orange purse complete this look. Fashion Teen Poppy Parker is a 16-inch fully articulated vinyl doll with rooted hair and hand-applied eyelashes. Comes complete with outfit, accessories and shoes. A doll stand is also included. For adult collectors ages 15 and up only.

Great looking Poppy and I was tempted to add her to my collection (I only have one 16" Poppy and she's blonde) but I could only get one from this collection and there's another one that won my heart in the end (see the last one). Love the outfit too, very mod, reminiscent of Marlo Thomas in "That Girl" TV series.

Item # 84010
Bright Idea 
Mallory Martin™ Dressed Doll
The Fashion Teen™ Collection
Limited Edition Size: 300
Estimated Ship Date: Approximately Late Q1/Early Q2, 2016
Suggested Retail Price: $150.00 

Doll Tech Specs:
Head Sculpt: Tulabelle 1.0
Body Type: Fashion Teen™ Poppy (16-inch format)
Quick Switch Feature: No

Mallory Martin is wearing a blue and white polka dot blouse, accentuated with a crisp white collar and cuffs and a hot pink necktie, finished up with a yellow miniskirt. Nude fishnet pantyhose, white faux leather knee high boots, and a matching purse finish off the ensemble. Fashion Teen™ Mallory Martin™ is a 16-inch fully articulated vinyl doll with rooted hair and hand-applied eyelashes. Comes complete with outfit, accessories and shoes. A doll stand is also included. For adult collectors ages 15 and up only. 

So this is the re-use of the first Tulabelle sculpt. Mallory Martin looks great in this fashion era, although I never was a big fan of this face - I have not got any Tulabelle dolls. I love the outfit but would love more details in the accessories, she is a 16" doll after all.

Fashion Teen™ Mallory Martin™ is a 16-inch fully articulated vinyl doll with rooted hair and hand-applied eyelashes. Comes complete with outfit, accessories and shoes. A doll stand is also included. For adult collectors ages 15 and up only.  

The second Mallory looks better than the first one and could pass for a contemporary era doll as well. Love the sequins and the silver bag.

Item # 84012
Midnight Sparkle

The long gold sequin gown features midnight blue trim at the plunging neckline with a bow detail for modesty. The white faux fur stole, metallic gold heels, and gold clutch finish off the ensemble. Fashion Teen™ Poppy Parker™ is a 16-inch fully articulated vinyl doll with rooted hair and hand-applied eyelashes. Comes complete with outfit, accessories and shoes. A doll stand is also included. For adult collectors ages 15 and up only. 

This is the best of the bunch and the one I pre-ordered. She is of course a recreation of the Sparkle, Poppy, Sparkle! 12" doll from the Cinematic convention collection. I think I prefer this version, even though there is no ring to go with it like her miniature counterpart (tsk tsk tsk Integrity).

Fashion Teen Poppy Parker goes to Paris for the collections

In a (slightly) surprising e-mail, W Club members were notified by Integrity Toys about four new released dolls in the Fashion Teen Poppy Parker line - the 16" version of the popular doll. Many had already seen the dolls photographed by the extremely talented Saron Wright in this month's DOLLS magazine. David Buttry, the line's designer (interviewed in the magazine), said they wanted to continue the Paris theme from this year's Tulabelle line but of course adjusted to the early 60s period. The dolls are available now at IT dealers and will be shipping in two weeks.

Sunny Splash Poppy is complete with a lovely beach bag, oversized hat and a little two piece swimsuit. She is a 16-inch fully articulated vinyl doll with rooted hair and hand-applied eyelashes. A doll stand is included. For adult collectors ages 15 and up.

Cute but nothing to phone home about. Second bathing suit this year from IT (remember Victoire?). Kind of a basic doll (reflected in the price) with a little extra in the towel and accessories.

Item # 84006 
Fashionably Suited
Fashion Teen Poppy Parker™ Dressed Doll 
Suggested Retail Price: $140.00 US
Limited Edition Size: 300

Sharply Suited Poppy wears a pink double breasted tweed suit, paired with a navy blue satin blouse and scarf that can be tied in a bow around her neck. The look is complemented by a signature gold chain necklace with matching bracelet, earrings, a hat, shoes, gloves and embossed purse. Fashion Teen Poppy Parker is a 16-inch fully articulated vinyl doll with rooted hair and hand-applied eyelashes. A doll stand is included. For adult collectors ages 15 and up.

This is by far the best of the collection, If I could, this is the one I would get. The suit reminds me of 60s Chanel (and the chains help a lot in that direction). The blouse and extra bow add class along with the hat. I hope the gloves are tight and easy to put on otherwise they will look like oven mittens.

Item # 84007
Ma Chérie 
Fashion Teen Poppy Parker™ Dressed Doll 
Suggested Retail Price: $140.00 US 
Limited Edition Size: 300 
Estimated Ship Date: Approximately the Second Week of October 2014

Ma Chérie Poppy Parker wears a turquoise satin cocktail dress with a black lace overlay, cinched at the waist by a black satin belt tied in a bow. The look is completed by a matching veil, gloves, a clutch purse, jewellery and shoes. Fashion Teen Poppy Parker is a 16-inch fully articulated vinyl doll with rooted hair and hand-applied eyelashes. A doll stand is included. For adult collectors ages 15 and up.

This one is the weird one out - there's something off about her that I can't put my finger on. Love the shoes. No accessories photo with this one, if one is made available I will update the post.

Item # 84008
Floating Dream 
Fashion Teen Poppy Parker™ Dressed Doll 
Suggested Retail Price: $140.00 US

Floating Dream Poppy is wearing a multi-layered gown, complete with jewellery, a clutch and a pair of shoes. Fashion Teen Poppy Parker is a 16-inch fully articulated vinyl doll with rooted hair and hand-applied eyelashes. A doll stand is included. For adult collectors ages 15 and up.

This one looks like a wedding cake. Too Barbie for my taste, but I am sure there will be people who will love her. I think last year's release was much better designed and executed.

Integrity Toys 3rd reveal for 2013: Fashion Teen Poppy Parker (16")

Yesterday Integrity Toys did their third reveal of the year, showing to WClub members a day ahead of the general public some new collections for fashion doll collectors, who received the updates on email which included, apart from the usual photos and descriptions, links to exclusive videos showing Carol Roth and Alain Trembley discussing and demonstrating the actual doll prototypes. The first line to be shown was none other than the larger version of the popular Poppy Parker doll, Fashion Teen Poppy, who is in 1/4 scale instead of her smaller twin 1/6 scale. The four dolls of the collection were inspired by the four seasons of the year. Let's see them one by one.

Item #84001
The Glad Game
Poppy Parker Fashion Teen™ Dressed Doll
Limited Edition of 300 Dolls
Suggested Retail Price: $140.00 US
Estimated Shipping Date: October 2013

Doll Tech Specs:
Collection: Poppy Parker Fashion Teen™
Head Sculpt: Poppy 16
Body Type: Poppy 16
Quick Switch Feature: No
Skin Tone: FR White
Hair Color: Dewdrop Blonde
Eyelashes: Yes, Hand Applied
Total Packaged Dimensions (Including Shipper): 18.5" X 7.5" X 3.5"

First of course is Spring, represented by Glad Game Poppy. She wears a green, white and blue dress with a wide-brimmed white straw hat and a coordinating white straw bag adorned with blue and green flowers. Her look is complete with white gloves and blue pumps. This is a 16-inch articulated vinyl doll with fully rooted, dewdrop blonde hair and hand applied eyelashes. A doll stand is included. For adult collectors 14 years and up.

All four Poppies in this line were exquisite, a much better showing then its debut last year. The doll does indeed remind one of spring and the detail in the dress and accessories is really good. The bag is incredible.

Item #84002
One Fine Day
Poppy Parker Fashion Teen™ Dressed Doll
Limited Edition of 300 Dolls
Suggested Retail Price: $140.00
US Estimated Shipping Date: October 2013

Doll Tech Specs:
Collection: Poppy Parker Fashion Teen™
Head Sculpt: Poppy 16
Body Type: Poppy 16
Quick Switch Feature: No
Skin Tone: FR White
Hair Color: Hot Blonde
Eyelashes: Yes, Hand Applied
Total Packaged Dimensions (Including Shipper): 18.5" X 7.5" X 3.5"

The summer Poppy does remind me of one fine day. She wears a white dress with red and black polka dots, a red straw hat and read cat eye sunglasses. She finishes off the look with a red straw purse, red heels, white gloves and a red beaded bracelet. This is a 16-inch articulated vinyl doll with fully rooted scorching blonde hair and hand applied eyelashes. A doll stand is included. For adult collectors 14 years and up.

I fell in love with this one. So much so that I caved in and ordered her! What's not to like? Her dress is amazing, especially with the tailored detail on top and its polka dot print. Her accessories are amazing: the shoes, the bag, the bracelet and earrings, are all exemplary. Plus she fits nicely with many of my larger dolls wearing mid 20th century outfits. I am currently watching the second season of Magic City and she could fit right in.

Item #84003
Magic Moment 
Poppy Parker Fashion Teen™ Dressed Doll
Limited Edition of 300 Dolls
Suggested Retail Price: $140.00 US
Estimated Shipping Date: October 2013

Doll Tech Specs:
Collection: Poppy Parker Fashion Teen™
Head Sculpt: Poppy 16
Body Type: Poppy 16
Quick Switch Feature: No
Skin Tone: FR White
Hair Color: Autumn Red
Eyelashes: Yes, Hand Applied
Total Packaged Dimensions (Including Shipper): 18.5" X 7.5" X 3.5"

The Autumn Poppy wears a leopard print evening gown accented with a black belt and black opera length gloves. She carries a gold clutch and wears matching gold heels. To complete the look is a black faux fur wrap. This is a 16-inch articulated vinyl doll with fully rooted, autumn red hair and hand applied eyelashes. A doll stand is included. For adult collectors 14 years and up.

I can confess this was one strong contender for ordering but I decided to get only one this time and One Fine Day won. Magic Moment looks like a large red-headed BG Poppy (this screening!) and the gloves look great (they might be difficult to put on the doll, even though they have a button-fastening opening at the wrist). I'm not crazy about the leopard print and the clutch is very generic. The shoes though look great. A very sultry Poppy, a bit rare for this doll.

Item #84004
Winter Wowzers!
Poppy Parker Fashion Teen™ Dressed Doll 
Limited Edition of 300 Dolls
Suggested Retail Price: $140.00 US
Estimated Shipping Date: October 2013

Doll Tech Specs:
Collection: Poppy Parker Fashion Teen™
Head Sculpt: Poppy 16
Body Type: Poppy 16
Quick Switch Feature: No
Skin Tone: FR White
Hair Color: Raven
Eyelashes: Yes, Hand Applied
Total Packaged Dimensions (Including Shipper): 18.5" X 7.5" X 3.5"

Rounding off the collection is winter! Poppy wears an ensemble consisting of a yellow sweater with black stirrup pants, an animal print coat, earmuffs and yellow gloves. The outfit comes with a pair of black boots with white faux fur trim and white pompoms. This is a 16-inch articulated vinyl doll with fully rooted raven hair and hand applied eyelashes. A doll stand is included. For adult collectors 14 years and up.

Yes, this one has ear muffs! She looks ready to hit the slopes! I did not expect winter to have the raven haired doll (a platinum blonde is more reminiscent of the season I think) but she looks great. I'd rather see a smaller scale on the animal print coat though - or a larger one. This looks awkward. The mittens look like the ones used for the oven, hahaha. They should have been knit ones I suppose. I do hope they take care of the finish on the edge of the boots with the fur, it looks a bit cheap done like that.

The dolls are already available at all Integrity dealers so go get them!

Integrity Toys 1st on-line presentation 2013 - Tulabelle

The second line of dolls presented on Saturday by Integrity toys was a new one: 16" dolls with the Poppy Parker Fashion Teen 16" body and more detailed face. Her looks are modern and edgy. She's supposed to be Poppy's grand-daughter, a teen fashion blogger. Vaughn Sawyers introduced the dolls while David Buttry gave us the background history of the character.

Item #86001
J'Adore
Blond Basic Tulabelle™ Doll
Suggested Retail Price: US $115.00
Limited Edition of 300 Dolls
16 inch Doll
Estimated Delivery Date: Early May 2013

The first doll is one of two basics.She has a grey striped jersey knit top with a J'Adore graphic (hence the doll name), hot pink mini, pink and purple platform sandals and white ankle socks. Stand and COA included.

Item #86002
Violet Femme
Brunette Basic Tulabelle™ Doll
Suggested Retail Price: US $115.00
Limited Edition of 300 Dolls
16 inch Doll

This one looks almost manga to me. She is the second basic doll of the lot. Outfit consists of purple one shouldered jersey tee with black glam rock skull print, black denim shorts, black high-top platforms and white knee socks with purple stripes. Doll stand and certificate of authenticity are included.

Item #86003
Yeti to Wear
Tulabelle™ Dressed Doll
Suggested Retail Price: US $150.00
Limited Edition of 300 Dolls
16 inch Doll
Estimated Delivery Date: June 2013

This is the best of the bunch. I would have pre-ordered her if not for budget control (huh). She looks better then the rest, edgy and sophisticated (save that fur blob on her). Again the manga vibe is strong here. Outfit consists of purple and grey faux fur coat, cream lace blouse, black skinny jeans, and over the knee dark eggplant boots with black bow detail. Accessories include an embroidered clutch, black beaded necklace, chain pendant, drop earrings and a large ring. Doll stand and certificate of authenticity included. She is sold out.

Item #86004
Pomp and Circumstance
Tulabelle™ Dressed Doll
Suggested Retail Price: US $150.00
Limited Edition of 300 Dolls
16 inch Doll
Estimated Delivery Date: Early May 2013

This one was on DOLLS magazine earlier this month so most people got a taste of the line through her photos. The most eccentric of the bunch. Outfit consists of a faux leopard coat, white pleated sleeveless blouse with a black trim collar, red skinny jeans, red metallic heels, hot pink patent tote, multi-strand necklace, black drop earrings and a matching ring.Doll stand and COA included.

Item #86005
Coated in Glamour
Tulabelle™ Dressed Doll
Suggested Retail Price: US $150.00
Limited Edition of 300 Dolls
16 inch Doll
Estimated Delivery Date: June 2013

This one is the second best doll in this collection. I think she's the modern equivalent of Poppy Parker The Happening. Her outfit consists of a gold and blue dress with net overlay, a light blue biker jacket, nude fishnets, and black fur and leather boots. Accessories include a green metallic clutch, silver chain earrings, and a silver and black cuff, bangle and ring. Doll stand and certificate of authenticity are included.

Item #86006
Trend Spotted
Tulabelle™ Dressed Doll
Suggested Retail Price: US $150.00
Limited Edition of 300 Dolls
16 inch Doll
Estimated Delivery Date: June 2013

This is the odd one out of the bunch. Her rockabilly-through-80's-for-the-10's look is way out there.She is wearing a lavender sweater with a white collar, acid yellow dotted skirt, black leather jacket, lime fishnets, multicoloured platform boots, and a turquoise bag. Accessories include a turquoise and black brooch, lime and silver bangle and large silver hoop earrings. Doll stand and certificate of authenticity are included.  

The success of this collection for me is the fact that even though I was prepared not to want anything from it, I really fell for Yeti to Wear. The failure of the collection is that none of the rest matches that doll in style and pizazz  If they continue this towards that direction, I am sure this will be a big hit.

Integrity Toys at IDEX part V: Poppy Parker Fashion Teen 16"

As I mentioned in a previous post, Poppy Parker must be the most popular Integrity Toys doll now. So it comes as no surprise that they decided to introduce a 16" version of her to capitalize on that popularity. This line will be called Poppy Parker Fashion Teen to distinguish it from the 12" line. It has a different body from the FR16 dolls but will be able to share shoes with them (not outfits). The style and look of this line is similar to the smaller Poppy dolls. The sculpt reminds me of Poppy but is more harsh.

 

Spring Morning Poppy Parker Fashion Teen has a gorgeous outfit: tweed slim coat over a pale yellow dress with matching short sleeved jacket, bag and shoes. This is the way to handle yellow, unlike the FR16 yellow gown. The copper hair of the doll though is not a good match for it in my opinion. Can we get this outfit in 12" size please?

 

Shop Around Poppy Parker Fashion Teen is the second doll. I don't like her braid but the hounds-tooth Capri pants look amazing. Lovely sunglasses too, a new design! She has a tote bag, lace top with sequins, shoes, necklace, bracelets and hoop earrings. She seems to be the most popular with collectors so far.

 

Love Letters Poppy Parker Fashion Teen is the second most popular doll of this collection. She is wearing a nice lilac dress with a fur caplet and has a silver clutch, shoes to match the bag and pearl necklace and stud earrings. White gloves are a must - and they are elbow length. The dress looks amazing and I love the details  on it's décolletage and skirt. The doll looks like a popular Greek fashion model called Vicky Kaya. 

 

 

Precious Love Poppy Parker Fashion Teen is the last doll of the collection. A bride doll. The dress is like a simplified version of Grace Kelly's wedding dress - in this scale, it should have been a bit more detailed. The veil is plain - some lace detail at the hem would have been nice. I will not comment on that head piece. A lovely white rose bouquet, white kitten heels, drop earrings and a ring finish the ensemble perfectly. But no gloves? That's something that was probably a staple for brides back then.

 

You can see above some comparison shots: the first one shows the Poppy Parker Fashion Teen next to a FR16 doll and the second one shows the same doll next to her 12" counterpart. 

I am not a fan of this collection, although I am collecting Poppy dolls in the smaller scale. I can see the appeal of the doll and surely it is a good business move for Integrity. It needs some fine tuning but no one gets it perfect from the start.
