Dolly Days 2024 - Day One: Cold Carbon X Integrity Toys!

So Dolly Days are back again and the first day was a great surprise. It marked the debut of the first two of four dolls in the Integrity Toys X Cold Carbon Collaboration, designed by the incredible Marina Zrnić, the extremely talented creator behind the Cold Carbon brand. If you are not following her instagram or are familar with her custom OOAK dolls, check her out now! it is great to see another creator collaborating with Integrity Toys and making their work available to a wider public. There will be four dolls in the collection, two of them presented now and available through lottery for W Club members. The other two will appear in 2024, as we heard in the live presentation on Monday. Let’s hear what Marina says about the collaboration:

"I knew I wanted something gothy. I knew I loved making vampires but IT already had Dracula and the Brides so I figured, you know what, I’m just gonna make vampire killers. They don’t get much love anyway and vampire killing surely isn’t an easy job. They needed to be represented. So, I wanted to make characters with their distinct style and histories. For Bellamy, I wanted some laid-back boho goth, as he is a pretty laid-back guy, led by a sense of what feels good. Jordan got a western/cowboy style goth that complements her more 'lone rider' character." -Marina Zrnić (Cold Carbon)

But who is Marina Zrnić and how did she end up making those amazing OOAK dolls?

"I was born in a small town in Croatia in 1988, and growing up in that specific environment was very challenging. I loved drawing and fashion design since very young age but my funny, and very honest worry was, what if I run out of inspiration and start creating from my head? I could see that a lot and that, combined with the awareness of my environment led me to forget about that dream. I studied American Literature and Indology, and was very interested in Environmental History and Bioethics but at the same time, I really suffered without a creative outlet I abandoned.

So, when I changed my diet, I found creativity in raw food chef position, but life decided to put me on the path where I will find the creativity that truly resonated with me. In a very, what some might see as, illogical way I 'found out' about doll collecting and Integrity Toys dolls and I knew I wanted to make dolls. Of course, I had no idea about the whole doll collecting world and possibilities, how to repaint, or reroot, what materials to use… zero… but it was a beam of clarity and healing I needed at that time, and I didn’t question how. I just knew I’m making dolls. One thing led to another and I realized people wanted my dolls, despite them being very niche.

And something like 5 years later, here I am. For me, making dolls is making characters. Getting to know parts of yourself you might not be aware of. In my characters, my 'crew', I could see the parts of me I didn’t want to see, I forgot about, I judged, I craved for and it led to some amazing integrations. I love putting dolls in stories and connecting with them through archetypes we all have in ourselves. It’s a way to find compassion for yourself and consequently for the whole of humanity. Through that (among some other things), I’m finding out who I am, and what it means to be authentic." -Marina Zrnić (Cold Carbon)

After Dark

Bellamy Blue™ Fashion Figure

Integrity Toys X Cold Carbon

Edition Size: 1200

Expected Ship Date: Mid-To-Late March 2024

W CLUB ONLY IT DIRECT RIGHT-TO-BUY LOTTERY

Head Sculpt: Bellamy Blue

Body Type: Homme 1.5

Skin Tone: Japan

Hair Color: Auburn

MSRP: $199 + S & H

Special W Club RTB Winner 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:

In this first of four sensational dolls created for Integrity Toys X Cold Carbon Collaboration, you are invited to be part of the story and enter the chilling, haunting world of vampire hunters!

As the tale begins, meet Bellamy Blue, the star of our story, a romantic and ultra-stylish vampire hunter, pursuing his prey in a mysterious world where thanks to the efforts of courageous men like him and his friends, love, justice (and fashion) will always prevail over the forces of evil! Will he finally rid the world of this maleficent blood-sucking plague?

Included:

• 12.5-inch articulated fashion figure with rooted hair;

• Laid-back Boho-goth look comprised of distressed dark grey jeans and vintage-inspired flower print black shirt;

• Satin kimono;

• Western-style boots with strap and "silver" buckle;

• Western-style belt with detachable "gun" holster;

• Toy "gun" accessory;

• "Silver" gothic cross necklace;

• Nose ring;

• "Cigarette" accessory;

• Pair of regular Homme hands;

• Alternate pair of hands with tattoos;

• Fashion figure stand;

• Story card;

• Certificate of authenticity.

Bellamy always turns out amazing - I have yet to see one bad looking version. Combine that with the creativity of Marina and you have a winner. Even with the restrictions that making a doll for mass production entails, she manages to give us a doll worthy of her OOAK work, alluring and mysterious, different and alternative from the usual IT fare. Making me like a long haired male doll is a feat on its own! I’m not that crazy about guns on dolls, I think that could have been avoided with different vampire hunter weapons (swords, knives, stakes etc.). Love his kimono style overcoat and the flowery shirt (that weirdly makes the character even more mysterious - a vampire hunter in florals?) and his boots are awesome. I love the hat, and it’s a first this style appears on an IT doll, as well as the awesome glasses! Bellamy’s jewellery are also great, as are his tattooed hands (with traditional Balkan motifs). Let’s hope I can win him in the lottery.

Jordan Duval™ Dressed Doll

Integrity Toys X Cold Carbon

Edition Size: 1200

Expected Ship Date: Mid-To-Late March 2024

W CLUB ONLY IT DIRECT RIGHT-TO-BUY LOTTERY

Head Sculpt: Jordan Duval

Body Type: FR 6.0

Foot Sculpt: Articulated Ankle Flat Foot

Skin Tone: FR Black

Hair Color: Mahogany

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

MSRP: $220 + S & H

Special W Club RTB Winner Price: $199 + 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:

The hunt continues to rid the world of a dark plague that is creating fear in the hearts of all men! For the second of four sensational dolls created for Integrity Toys X Cold Carbon Collaboration, the tables turn around and the chase will start yielding results... Vampires beware, the hunters are drawing near!

Jordan Duval is the best collaborator an outlandish Vampire Hunter like Bellamy Blue could have. This strong, powerful lady comes fully equipped with all that she needs to complete the hunt and set the heart of the undead aflame (quite literally)! Her friends can rely on her, and Jordan always gets her sucker in the end!

Included:

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

• Western/cowboy style goth look comprised of Western-style black jeans with decorative stitching and a Western-style black shirt with studs and collar tips;

• Black cowboy duster;

• Western-style boots with "brass" studs, strap, and buckle;

• Brown "leather" belt with "brass" skull buckle and detachable gun holsters/leg harness;

• Two toy "gun" accessories;

• Western-style bolo tie;

• "Brass" sunglasses with red lenses;

• Hat with a "brass" skull decorated band;

• Two "brass" cross earrings, one with a chain connected upper ring;

• Vintage luggage;

• Pair of black-manicured hands;

• Alternate pair of "grip" gloved hands;

• Doll stand;

• Story card;

• Certificate of authenticity.

Jordan is always a welcome appearance in IT reveals and she makes a gorgeous doll here. The hairstyle is something we have seen on Cold Carbon OOAK dolls (almost) and the hair colour fits her perfectly. She looks closer to a cowboy (or cowgirl) more than Bellamy does, what with the bolo tie, the cowboy boots and belt and the hat (which we have seen before on IT dolls, as well as the glasses). It is a bit weird that none of the photos show the chain double earring, although we did see it on the video presentation. She’s beautiful but not my cup of tea. If she was closer to the more edgy and extreme styles Cold Carbon usually does, I might have caved in, but not as she is now and for that price. Awesome trunk (with Cold Carbon written on it).

Meteor ladies go to the Rococo Ball!

W Club members received an email presenting them with two different mini collections - a Meteor one (four dolls) and a Jason Wu one (two dolls- see next post). The four new Meteor collection dolls, include a brand new character, and are all designed by Integrity Toys designer Vaughn Sawyers. Three of the Meteor Collection dolls are only be available for purchase from authorised Integrity Toys dealers, while the fourth one is an IT Direct lottery exclusive. The concept for the collection is that the ladies are lavishly dressed to attend the Meteor's Rococo Ball, an extravagant evening affair. They come very near the Grand Gala in Rome Magia 2000 doll - with the definitive source of inspiration being the Moschino Fall 2020 collection, Chanel Haute Couture Fall 1990 and of course Queen Charlotte from the TV series Bridgerton and Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story. You can watch a video presentation here.

Serving Cake

Keeki Adaeze™ Dressed Doll

The Meteor™ Collection

Edition Size: 750

Expected Ship Date: Summer 2023

MSRP: $175 + S & H

AVAILABLE ONLY FROM IT DEALERS

Head Sculpt: Keeki Adaeze

Body Type: Meteor 1.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: A-Tone

Hair Color: Red Brown Mix

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

The Story:

Keeki Adaeze is putting her own twist on the Meteor's latest outrageously themed evening, inspired by the luscious trappings of the Rococo era! Is she the modern reincarnation of Queen Marie Antoinette? One thing is certain, her look is on point for the evening and she is ready to hold court at the Meteor!

Included:

• 12.5-inch articulated doll with fully rooted hair, ornately braided and intertwined with a bright pink ribbon, as well as hand-applied eyelashes;

• Hooded cropped jacket with layered ruffled cuffs;

• Low-rise shorts;

• Rococo-inspired printed bodysuit;

• Thigh-high stockings;

• Pink platform boots with pink ribbon lace-up detail;

• Golden drip hoop earrings featuring "M" logo;

• Bangle bracelets with "pearl" and "crystal stone" insets;

• Statement ring;

• "Let them eat cake" purse;

• Pair of long-manicured hands;

• Pair of alternate grip hands;

• Doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

The transformation of Keeki is incredible here, she looks like a totally different character. I do not love the light pink lipstick (would have preferred a slightly darker tone to de-Barbiefy her). The athleisure version of rococo style clothes works great despite the tired paisley print, even though the bag looks more like something from Adidas or Thom Browne (depending on your budget). Love the corset (and would be great if I could snatch it somewhere down the line) and the oversize M earrings. The silhouette seems to have a lot in common with this outfit from Moschino Fall 2020 collection.

Succession

Nyasha Lauder™ Dressed Doll

The Meteor™ Collection

Edition Size: 750

Expected Ship Date: Summer 2023

MSRP: $175 + S & H

AVAILABLE ONLY FROM IT DEALERS

Head Sculpt: Nyasha Lauder

Body Type: Meteor 1.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: Dark A-Tone

Hair Color: Dark Brown With Honey Brown Highlights

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

The Story:

Putting her own spin on a classic Rococo look just in time for another fabulous soiree at the Meteor, Nyasha Lauder takes it to the next level of extravagance! This new "belle of the ball" is ready to party and make an impression!

Included:

• 12.5-inch articulated doll with rooted hair styled in an extravagant bouffant look, as well as hand-applied eyelashes;

• Matching top and skirt with pannier-inspired patch pockets;

• Ruffled choker with ribbon bow detail;

• Dark brown mesh stockings;

• Thigh-high boots;

• Macaron-inspired purse;

• Cuff bracelet adorned with "pearls" and other embellishments;

• Drop earrings;

• Two finger rings;

• Pair of long-manicured hands;

• Pair of alternate grip hands;

• Doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

This is by far my favourite doll from this collection. And this comes not only from the beautiful lady but her outfit as well, hence I pre-ordered and got confirmed for her (even though I was late at least an hour in seeing the email, travelling home on a bus). Nyasha comes originally from the Color Infusion line, so it is really great seeing her here and in this towering pompadour hairstyle. Wish she had a heart shaped beauty mark to complete the look. The outfit seems to be lifted off this Moschino Fall 2020 one. I only wish the pink was instead light gold, to show off more. The pleather boots look a lot like the ones worn throughout the Chanel Fall 1990 Haute Couture collection - and would have matched the outfit Chameleon Vanessa was wearing  in the Supermodel convention collection, which was lifted from that very same couture collection.

Item # 46025

Head Over Heels

Taliyah Harper™ Dressed Doll

The Meteor™ Collection

Edition Size: 750

Expected Ship Date: Summer 2023

MSRP: $175 + S & H

AVAILABLE ONLY FROM IT DEALERS

Head Sculpt: Taliyah Harper (New Sculpt/New Character!)

Body Type: Meteor 1.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: FR Black

Hair Color: Toffee

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

The Story:

Taliyah makes her official entrance at the Meteor and what an impact she makes! Clad in her show-stopping floor-length redingote and thigh-high boots, this girl is ready to steal the show and put on the performance of a lifetime, leaving her new fans wanting more!

Included:

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

• Showstopping floor-length redingote style coat (inspired by riding coats worn during the Rococo era) with lavishly embroidered trim, lace-up corset detail on the back, and ruffled cuffs;

• Matching purple high-cut bodysuit;

• Full-leg high-heeled boots with sassy contrasting red heels;

• "Jeweled" cross earrings;

• Pair of long-manicured hands;

• Alternate pair of grip hands;

• Doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

There’s something weird going on with the eyes of this one - maybe they are painted too close to the nose? In any case, the wide face syndrome hits once again. why is it so hard to have a narrow face sculpt created? It is so wide that all its features look too small proportionately. Maybe a future version will look better. The tight hairstyle does not help her either. The outfit looks great, even though the embroidery on the skirt of the coat could have been designed a bit more meticulously - it looks half finished. For $175.00 I expect a bit more in this department. It again reminds me of a Chanel Haute Couture Fall 1990 ensemble - a brilliant red one with gold embroidery. Only the skirt is missing.

Amirah Majeed™ Dressed Doll

The Meteor™ Collection

Edition Size: 750

Expected Ship Date: Mid-To-Late June

W CLUB ONLY IT DIRECT RIGHT-TO-BUY LOTTERY

Head Sculpt: Amirah Majeed

Body Type: Meteor 1.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: Sunkissed

Hair Color: Cocoa

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

MSRP: $175 + 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.

The Story:

While Amirah Majeed normally likes to oversee operations at the Meteor, she was so inspired by the Rococo theme that for this one special night, she had to come up with a truly extraordinary look that put her front and center, and her friends all agree that she understood the assignment to a tee!

Included:

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

• Ornate bright green Rococo-inspired dress, featuring an intricately designed bodice with embroidered details and appliqué ribbons, as well as a period-inspired pleated skirt;

• Bright green cage/pannier petticoat;

• Bright green thigh-high boots with golden lace-up detail;

• Fan-shaped purse with elaborate, custom-printed artwork;

• Cuff bracelet with "pearl" accents and cameo ornament;

• Dual-strand "pearl" and "diamond" drop necklace;

• Matching drop earrings;

• Finger ring;

• Pair of long-manicured hands;

• Pair of alternate grip hands;

• Doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity;

This is the best version of Amirah yet! Her colouring, her hair, her face, all look beautiful. If I could afford her now, I would try, even though I am not crazy about her outfit. This particular green looks garish compared to the rest of the collection. Also, the pouf skirt draping leaves a lot to be desired. Pity, as she is such a lovely doll. The dress looks a lot like this one from the Moschino Fall 2020 collection.

New Basic Edition dolls by Integrity Toys available now!

We knew there were new basic edition dolls coming from Integrity Toys since last year, and here they are at last. They were unveiled to club members last Friday and come from various Integrity Toys brands and designers. And guess what? Not only they are now available for purchase, they ship right after you pay for them too. No waiting, no preorder - almost instant gratification.

So what are basic edition dolls you say? The company says this:

“For those unfamiliar with the concept, unlike most other Integrity Toys dolls that are more elaborate in detail and more limited in nature, Basic Edition dolls are the best way for both new and seasoned collectors alike to be able to buy beautiful Integrity Toys dolls to dress up and play with! They tend to have a lower price point and a much larger edition size (which sometimes includes restocking*) that make them more accessible to the general public.”

*Restocking will be evaluated by IT according to demand.

The basic dolls have had a variety of names throughout the years, most usually Close Up dolls. And yes, they are a great way to be introduced to what the company has to offer, at a lower price than their usual offerings - even though nowadays the price is closer to what regular line dolls were back then. Four dolls, from four different lines (FR, NU Face, Poppy Parker and Meteor), plus an accessories pack that is actually completing the NU Face doll, rather than a separate, versatile item. W Club members had a priority purchase window until today, with a lower price than that of the general public. Let’s check them out.

Bombshell Beach

Natalia Fatalé™ Basic Doll

The Fashion Royalty® Collection

Edition Size: 5000*

Expected Ship Date: In Stock

Head Sculpt: Natalia 2.0

Body Type: FR 6.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: Sunkissed

Hair Color: Light Sandy Brunette

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

W Club Price: $99 + S & H

MSRP: $115 + S & H

Sales method: First-come, first-served W Club priority purchase window starting immediately with a limit of 1 per doll style per membership. Once the public sale begins, should quantities remain, members will still be able to purchase extras with their special W Club pricing.

*Restocking will be evaluated dependent on demand.

The Story:

Natalia Fatalé is ready to be noticed, as she relaxes by the pool at her favourite Italian resort, dressed in nothing but the most expensive designer swimsuit her stylists could find! After all, a girl's gotta be remembered, even when she's wearing almost nothing!

-Designed by Jessy Ayala

Included:

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

High-fashion, ocean-inspired, hand-drawn, and custom-printed swimsuit;

"Golden" starfish earrings;

"Golden" chain bracelet

Clear pink high-heeled sandals;

"Golden" cat-eye sunglasses with orange lenses;

Pair of long-manicured hands;

Doll stand.

I was expecting that either Veronique or Vanessa would get the basic doll spot for the Fashion Royalty line, but Natalia beat them to it. She’s good looking but not a doll that I’d characterise as “have to get”, especially if one already has similarly styled/coloured Natalias. The bathing suit and jewellery are referencing the one worn by Ocean Drive Agnes, very Versace. Good to see the price still at $99.00.

Sales method: First-come, first-served W Club priority purchase window starting immediately with a limit of 1 per doll style per membership. Once the public sale begins, should quantities remain, members will still be able to purchase extras with their special W Club pricing.

*Restocking will be evaluated dependent on demand.

The Story:

Posing for the advertisement of the Meteor's next big Egypt-themed pool party, Amirah looks absolutely stunning in her fashionable pure white bikini!

-Designed by Vaughn Sawyers

Included:

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

• Sexy white bikini with narrow ribbon straps and ties;

• Platform wedge sandals with shimmery holographic strap detail;

• "Golden" hoop earrings;

• Pair of manicured hands;

• Bonus pair of grip hands;

• Doll stand.

I still do not like this sculpt, it has never reached its full potential so far. It does not help that the prototype doll is wonky eyed - I hope they fix this in production. Her swimsuit looks gorgeous and so do her platform sandals. The Cleopatra vibes are strong with this one.

The Story:

What better look to finish her fabulous trip to Palm Springs than this simple printed sundress? As the Californian sun sets on one of the most successful adventures of her life, Poppy Parker jets off for a quick island getaway, so she can be refreshed to take on the world!

-Designed by David Buttry

Included:

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

• Bright, strapless, custom-printed babydoll dress;

• Matching cork wedge sandals;

• Chunky "silver" bangle bracelet with turquoise cloisonné finish;

• Matching stud earrings;

• Pair of regular Poppy Parker hands;

• Doll stand.

A dark haired Poppy is not what one would expect for a basic doll release, since traditionally the blonde ones are more popular. And since the first one had brown hair, I was expecting this one to be blonde, even though the combination here is better: black hair, hungarian skin tone and brown eyes. Delicious. The dress has the same print as Double Agents Poppy’s dress.

Night Out

Erin Salston™ Basic Doll

The NU. Face® Collection

Edition Size: 5000*

Expected Ship Date: In Stock

Head Sculpt: Erin 2.0

Body Type: NF 3.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: FR White

Hair Color: Mahogany

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

W Club Price: $110 + S & H

MSRP: $125 + S & H

Sales method: First-come, first-served W Club priority purchase window starting immediately with a limit of 1 per doll style per membership. Once the public sale begins, should quantities remain, you will still be able to purchase extras with your special W Club pricing.

*Restocking will be evaluated dependent on demand.

The Story:

Never one to be outdone by her fellow top models, Erin Stalston makes a rare appearance wearing a re-imagined version of one of her friend's most iconic dresses! Putting her own twist on a look is one of Erin's fashion "specialties" and she is more than happy to tell everyone that she's the one who actually came up with it!

-Designed by Jessy Ayala

Included:

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

• Micro-sequined cocktail mini-dress, with contrasting white satin shoulder draping detail (non-removable);

• Slingback dark smoke clear vinyl pumps with statement heels;

• "Diamond" stud earrings;

• Pair of long-manicured hands;

• Doll stand.

Erin was very much expected to appear soon as she has been gone a while. Probably the most beautiful of the basic dolls of this wave, she reminds me a lot of High End Envy Erin, which is one of my favourite Erin releases. The dress is recreating the one worn by Mademoiselle Lilith Blair doll. And if seeing such an elaborate dress on a basic doll strucks you as unusual, you have not seen the accompanying accessory pack yet - with the slightly more expensive price of this doll plus the pack, you pay the price of a regular release doll. I can’t say I like this but it still gives people the opportunity to get a gorgeous doll for less, if they can skip the extras.

The Story:

Looking for just the right accessories to complete that special, totally glamorous look? Search no more! While this set was created to beautifully accessorize the "Night Out" Basic Erin Salston doll (sold separately), the components included are compatible with all Fashion Royalty® and NU. Face™ 1:6 scale fashion dolls!

-Designed by Jessy Ayala

Included:

• White satin bow/train;

• Shimmery black tights;

• Blue "leather" handbag with "pearl" strap and bow detail;

• Bow-shaped hair brooch;

• "Diamond" choker necklace;

• "Silver" butterfly ring;

• Black platform high-heels with studded ankle straps;

• Pair of flocked, black velvet, gloved hands (that can be worn either short or long);

• Alternate pair of long-manicured hands.

If one wants a complete Erin, this pack is the way. I have to say that the manicured hands should have been the ones included with the basic doll instead of the ones she now has. We see velvet gloves, which is a nice touch, even though one has to remember to store the flocked hands carefully (and separately) to avoid damage and staining. The tights are a staining danger as well. Love the bejewelled bow.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Prototypes shown, final product may vary. These collectibles are meant for adult collectors ages 15 and up only.

True is the name of the rebranded Industry line from Integrity Toys: Tulabelle is here once again

The official Integrity Toys Tulabelle True Instagram page was the vehicle for presenting to the public the rebranded Industry line, now named TRUE Collection. To showcase the rebranding, "Trending" Tulabelle True, a new doll with the 2.0 Tulabelle sculpt was presented, designed by IT Designers David Buttry and Mark Tinkey, who did an Instagram live chat as well. I don’t know why this was not first done for the W Club and then released for the general public (the information, not the doll), since it is made to order. I have lost count of the relaunching efforts for this character since her early 16” days. Let’s see if this time it will strike gold. The revamped line is supposed to incorporate both The Industry and the Dynamite Girls. The body is staying the same and many of collector favourite characters will return.

The Story:

For the launch of her new eponymous fashion brand "TRUE" on social media, IT girl Tulabelle True wears some of her favorite pieces from the collection. She and her design team took inspiration from vintage pieces from her family's fashion archive and created modern, inclusive streetwear. Her brand encourages everyone to be "True" to themselves. She's so excited about all the amazing things she's working on, which are sure to be Trending!

Included: 

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

• Custom beaded bodysuit with long, bouffant sleeves, featuring a built-in beaded choker detail and elaborate flower corsage deco;

• High-waist pleated shorts;

• Hoop earrings;

• Lace-up platform sandals;

• Wayfarer style eyeglasses;

• Oversized "jeweled" ring;

• Oversized heart-shaped ring;

• Oversized tote bag with custom embroidered art;

• Pair of regular Industry/TRUE hands;

• Pair of alternate long-manicured hands;

• Certificate of authenticity.

Once more, Integrity Toys tries to rebrand/revive/refresh the Industry line. From the time it debuted in a 1/4 scale, through changes in sculpt for its main character (in both scales), to rebranding, poor Tulabelle has been through so much. I was never fond of this sculpt, and t his beautiful new doll did not change my opinion at all. She has a lovely hairstyle and outfit (gorgeous colours). even though the accessories, apart from the bag, are lacking in pizzaz. for a fashion trendsetter.

I do have other characters from Industry (Tate, Bellamy, Cabot, Janay, Plum) and the line is always fun and playful. They will be adding more elements from the Dynamite Girls, but for me, they do not stick to its stronger advantage: pricing. The Dynamite Girls were the low price entry point for Integrity Toys collectors, and now we see the same price that most of its other lines have.

The end date to preorder the doll is Monday 31st of October, so harry up if you want her. You can get her here.

Some news from the live chat on Instagram by David Buttry and Mark Tinkey:

-The Tulabelle doll just revealed is not a part of the new collection coming

- They didn't recommend taking Tula's hair down as it might not be fully rooted because of the buns.

-Her hair was noted to be saran.

-The new collection will be coming sooner rather than later. It is to be a full collection, not a capsule one. Mark said they are putting the finishing touches on it now.

-They said we will see repeat characters from the Industry line, and some from Dynamite girls as well. We will also see some completely new characters. David mentioned there were some sculpts in the Dynamite girls line that would not be good candidates to transfer over.

-David said Tate lovers don't worry. David also mentioned Alysa/Janay and Jade.

-They mentioned Tulabelle having access to her grandmother's archives, and how that was an inspiration.

-When asked if they would consider fashion packs they said they would not be opposed, but ultimately don't make those decisions.

-The possibility of a Poppy/Tulabelle giftset was not denied.

-The designers, talking about Tulabelle’s mother, said they always saw her as a jet-setting model of the 90's. We might see her somewhere down the line

- When asked about the Tulabelle 1.0 sculpt they said they wouldn't rule out using it again, but they weren't sure if it would be as a totally new character or just another version of Tulabelle, similar to how Jesse uses both versions of Vanessa in the FR line.

- They also said they might consider a character with a bit fuller figure, and would consider using the E59th body, unless people would rather see consistency and the ability to share clothing throughout the line.

Poppy Parker Palm Springs Collection Part 2: The W Club / IT Direct sets

Back again to cover the remainder of the Poppy Parker in Palm Springs collection designed by David Buttry for Integrity Toys. I had to take some time off due to me finally catching covid - now I’m doing fine and we have some lovely things to see, so let’s get on with it! This post features the IT Direct items, either made to order or lottery: the Poppy Parker gift set, separate fashion set, and décor set. All items will be available come Spring 2023.

Item # 77241

Mix 'n Mingle

Fashion Set

Poppy Parker® In Palm Springs Collection

Edition Size: TBD (Made-to-order)

Expected Ship Date: Spring 2023

AVAILABLE ONLY FROM IT DIRECT

Fashion set only, no doll included.

Designed to fit Poppy Parker and similar 12-inch/ 1:6 scale fashion dolls.

MSRP: $89 + S & H

Special W Club Price*: $75 + S & H

The Story:

A "nighttime pool party" was all the invitation said! Poppy wondered if that meant she should be dressed for the pool, for a party, or for a more formal affair. Ever the ingenious gal, she decided to be ready for any of the three scenarios and still confidently mix 'n mingle as the hit of the party!

Included:

Sleeveless bodysuit with golden beading at the neckline;

Matching multi-layered, frilly skirt;

Flowing, aqua-blue chiffon cover-up maxi skirt;

Golden chrome "leather" clutch purse;

Long drop earrings with inset "crystals";

Double strand chain bracelet;

Oversized "gold" flower power ring;

Bejeweled magnetized sarong clasp with "gold", "pearl" and cloisonné flower accents;

Golden chrome cat-eyed sunglasses;

Certificate of authenticity.

I am totally not feeling this. either as a Poppy Parker or a Palm Springs fashion set. All the pieces give off a Barbie 80s vibe instead of late 60s - early 70s desert chic. The flouncy mini skirt in particular looks like she has a scrunchie around her hips. Missed opportunity to give us that white lace top and pants combo we see in most of Aaron Slim’s photos of the pool crowd in Palm Springs. I am worried that if this will not sell (thankfully it is made to order), we will not see another stand alone fashion set for ages. But seriously, I do not want fashion sets to be like this. I expect more stylish and nuanced fashion, not Barbie leftovers.

Poppy Parker® Palm Springs Decor Set

The Story:

Here's a fantastic chance to create a perfect setting for everyone's favorite teenage fashion model, Poppy Parker!

It has been a while since we got furniture, but not as long as Alain tried to make it sound like in the presentation - it was almost as if we never got another chair since the Barcelona imitations back in 2004! The plastic imitating wood reminds me a lot of Playmobil sets. I love the design and the complete package looks great alongside Poppy (and not only the Palm Spring ones) - even the lamp lights up. So I did pre-order one set - it will go nicely along both the Panton chairs from Dynamite Girls that are actually contemporary to Poppy (it first came out in 1959) and the Arnio Ball Chair (1965) we got with the Swinging London collection. More please.

A reminder that, due to shipping restrictions, batteries for the lamp are not included with the set.

This is the pièce de résistance of the entire Palm Springs collection. Two gorgeous Poppy dolls, in Nubian skin tone for the first time, dressed in magnificent colourful clothes, with beautiful and stylish accessories, that are sure to be the grail of many a Poppy doll collector in the years to come. Too bad this is a lottery, instead of a made to order release, like the rest of the IT exclusive stuff. I’d rather have this than any Alice in Wonderland club doll Poppies anytime. The main inspiration for David was the 4 covers of British Vogue back in April 2021, with their bold colours and hairstyles on African-American models (he even mimicked the two different coloured earrings styling, while giving us two sets of earrings as accessories). And he managed to make it look era appropriate too, unlike the fashion set. There will be a body completer set available to purchase optionally, for those that want to have two separate dolls (who doesn’t?). I love how the two versions have differently coloured faces, one with bolder colours, the other more neutral. And the afro looks amazing on her. The huge braid looks plain in comparison and could have been, to make this even more perfect, a slightly more elaborate era-appropriate hairstyle. Will definitely enter the lottery for this, although I’d rather this was made to order.
