Sachika X Integrity Toys - the new Meteor dolls are here!

The new Meteor collection, presented on the 12th of September online for w Club members, was created exclusively by contemporary ready-to-wear designers,To-Tam and To-Nya Sachika for the SACHIKA X Integrity Toys Collaboration. One of the sisters worked with the late Vaughn Sawyers at a fashion brand way back, so they were close and admired his doll work, hoping now to honour him with this collection. They also mentioned that they loved what they did so much, they intend to make the clothes for real humans too. It is the rare occasion when a fashion designer does not use existing designs to translate to doll size in a collaboration .So who are the Sachika sisters?

To-Tam & To-Nya Sachika are the powerhouse twin designers behind SACHIKA, the fashion label known for dressing pop culture icons such as Paula Abdul, Nicki Minaj, and La Toya Jackson. With their signature mix of bold femininity, precision tailoring, and a flair for the dramatic, they’ve captivated red carpets, television screens, and fashion week runways alike.

Born in Paris to Vietnamese parents and raised in Montreal, the twins traded stability for ambition, moving to New York City with nothing but their talent, determination, and a shared vision. To-Nya, a left-handed creative force, graduated top of her class from the International Academy of Design, earning the Excellence Award for Fashion Design, and went on to complete an International Business certification at Concordia University. To-Tam, the right-handed strategist, earned a degree in Communications and Journalism from the University of Montreal. Their work has been featured in Vogue Italia, Forbes, Elle, The New York Times, and seen on E! Entertainment, Bravo, BET, VH1 and more.

Beyond fashion, the sisters are committed to sustainability, embracing ethical production methods and eco-friendly materials in their collections. They are also the founders of Moon+Heart, a mindfulness and meditation brand offering an app and curated candles with guided meditation soundtracks — an extension of their belief in empowering women inside and out. Proud representatives of the AAPI community and their hometown of Montreal, To-Tam and To-Nya continue to push boundaries, inspire confidence, and prove that the modern woman is confident, unapologetic, and impossible to ignore.

The Story:

The grand re-opening of Club Meteor was just around the corner, and the ultra-plush location the girls had found for the next chapter of their adventure was such a perfect fit; saying it was a dream come true would be an understatement!

Located in one of the oldest buildings in the city, its spacious, intricately decorated main level, which featured an architectural style reminiscent of the Art Deco era, brought a certain “je ne sais quoi” to the many nightclubs, bars, and other such venues that had thrived within its walls since its construction nearly 100 years ago.

With a long history of re-invention that allowed it to remain relevant through the decades, the Starshine Hall (as it was once known) started its life as a dance hall during the roaring 20s, featured a hidden speakeasy during the prohibition, transformed into one of the most beautiful venues where all the stars gathered during the golden age of Hollywood, then went on to become one of the hottest discos of the 1970s, until it gradually morphed into a trendy underground after-hours club, up until the day it inevitably fell out of favor in the early 2000s.

Due to its advanced state of disrepair, when word came to Keeki that the Hall’s owners were ready to part with the property for a lovely price, she rushed to Zuri with the news. The Meteor team jumped at the occasion, immediately starting to make plans for what would become one of the most beautiful renovations ever seen!

Now, after months of careful planning, supervising contractors, and ensuring that everything is built to their exact specifications, the fun part was ready to begin… Planning the grand re-opening! Will it be the most talked-about red carpet affair that Keeki had in mind? One thing she and her team agree on is that for their new location to become trendy, they would need to create an ambiance and a feel of luxury that would attract as many high-profile customers as possible, and what better way to make a red carpet moment feel special than by offering luxurious gift bags to key VIPs than partnering with some of her go-to fashion designers? Keeki’s plan will surely make the launch a galaxy filled with the stars it needs to make the newly minted Starshine Hall shine to the tune of the Meteor club!

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

The first doll we saw on the presentation was Keeki - looking a lot like the basic one available on IT Direct. Her screening reminds me a bit of the one on Taliyah Harper from the Jason Kramer X Integrity Toys collaboration for this very same line of dolls. She does look impressive but the fabric of her outfit looks like a Ferrero Rocher confection. Very 80s vibes. She could appear as a quest star in Dynasty! I love her bag, the shape and thick weave are unusual. Her platform heels are also groovy, with their studs, even if quite casual for such a look. She also has a navel piercing that is removable. Love the necklace and bracelet - the earrings not so much.

The Story:

When she found out that the Meteor had found a new home, Amirah was just beyond thrilled! She fondly remembered how her grandparents wouldn’t stop reminiscing about all the wild nights they spent dancing to the latest disco hits back in the 1970s each time they drove in front of the now abandoned building, constantly reminding her that “those where the good old days, when the music was good, unlike all that electronic mess that you kids listen to these days”, only for her to roll her eyes and have a good laugh!

Now that it was confirmed that the team would be renovating and re-launching the Meteor at the Starshine Hall, she could barely resist telling her parents that she would not only be working on reviving what once was the best club in town, but that she and her friends would co-own the building itself! The feeling of pride that suddenly overwhelmed her was just incredible! The possibilities that lay before her were endless, and she couldn’t wait to bring her own brand of scintillating, sheer glamour to the project and help Zuri, Keeki, and the others ensure that the new Meteor brought back all the luster and brightness the Starshine Hall deserved!

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

  • Sexy sheer shimmery metallic asymmetric neck tied floor-length dress;

  • Statement golden sphere purse with ornamental SACHIKA logo;

  • Alternate pair of grip hands;

  • Doll stand;

  • Certificate of authenticity.

Emerald_Allure_Amirah_Majeed_doll_

This is the doll I like best from the collection - both for her looks and her outfit. Yes, I’m a sucker for green, so this adds a lot to the doll for me, but she is also the best looking Amirah ever. Also the dots on her eyelid remind me of the alien make up of Maya, a character from Space 1999, which was a favourite sci-fi series of my childhood. Her transparent embroidered dress looks great and the fur stole complements the look very well. Not crazy about the flowers on earrings and arm bracelet but the bag and shoes are awesome. I caved in and entered the lottery.

The Story:

With such a long history behind it and since its inception, the Starshine Hall had quite a reputation for serving the most delicious cocktails in town, and Navia knows that she had quite a bit of research to do in order to revive the venue's long standing tradition. How could her own style of “creative” bartending pay homage to such a place, while staying true to her signature? This totally fierce sister had her work cut out for her!

Could she revive some vintage favorites like “The Sidecar” or “Between the Sheets”? The more research she did, the more fun she was having with her "subject matter", and so would her regulars! How could anyone resist giving these refreshed classics a test drive? Can you feel the party “brewing” at the Meteor? Navia Phan sure can, and she’s happy to serve both looks and fabulous concoctions!

Fierce_Seduction_Navia_Phan_doll_

Included:

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

  • Fierce look comprised of a long-sleeved, texturized and printed asymmetrical mini-dress with high neck and one-sided cold shoulder design;

  • Midnight blue "fur" coat with custom SACHIKA branded lining;

  • Black SACHIKA patterned pantyhose;

  • Metallic clutch purse with custom "diamond-encrusted" design;

  • Thigh-high black "patent leather" high-heeled boots with decorative applied zipper and buckles;

  • "Silver" drop earrings;

  • Pair of manicured hands;

  • Alternate pair of grip hands;

  • Doll stand;

  • Certificate of authenticity.

Fierce_Seduction_Navia_Phan_doll_

Navia always looks great with a bob and she’s no exception here. Her screening also suites her sculpt so well in this iteration. I love goth style but this is too much purple all at once for me. She could have had different eye shadow and/or lip colours, for example dark blue to match her coat, or even black. The fabric pattern of her dress, as well as the cut, looks more sci-fi than goth, which is not bad but detracts from the style. Love the bag.

The Story:

Helping Keeki plan a smashing evening that would set the tone for the future of the new Meteor was just what the beautiful Nyasha Lauder needed to get her creativity flowing, and she couldn’t wait to get going! How could she top that phenomenal extravaganza that she had worked so hard on, that fabulous Rococo evening everyone is still talking about? All she had to do was tap into her never-ending savoir-faire and vibrant imagination!

Would it be an Art Deco-themed evening paying tribute to the Starshine Hall’s origins? An over-the-top 70s revival “Disco Garage” underground party, complete with random celebs riding horses into the venue? Or would it be a glamorous "golden era of Hollywood" type of affair, complete with a never-ending string of limos blocking traffic and dropping stars after stars on the red carpet outside of the new Meteor, while not-so-innocent bystanders trying to look cool, impatiently waited in line behind the velvet rope, begging the doormen to pick them and let them have a glimpse at how the other half partied, salivating at the mere thought of all those legendary cocktails star mixologist Navia Phan had concocted for the occasion?

Thinking about the possibilities and based on their impeccable track record, Zuri and the others just knew better than to question Keeki and Nyasha’s crazy schemes. The pair totally deserved a party planning "carte blanche"! It was clear that what lay ahead would be nothing short of a moment written across the sky, a night that would witness the meteoric relaunch of everyone’s favorite nightclub!

Chic_Opulence_Nyasha_Lauder_doll_

Included:

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

  • Ultra-luxe look comprised of a strapless metallic brocade mini-dress and matching dramatic swing coat with 3/4 length bell sleeves and contrasting lining;

  • Kelly green "leather" studded handbag with SACHIKA branded detail;

  • Doll-sized smart phone accessory;

  • Kelly green chunky platform heels with ankle strap and "golden" buckle detail;

  • Comb headband;

  • Winged ear cuffs;

  • "Jade" cuff bracelet;

  • "Jade" necklace;

  • Pair of manicured hands;

  • Alternate pair of grip hands;

  • Doll stand;

  • Certificate of authenticity.

Chic_Opulence_Nyasha_Lauder_doll_

I love the Nyash sculpt and already have Succession. Her monochromatic make up is not helped by the absence of lip liner on those pale lips - with this skin tone, it looks unfinished. Love the elven style earrings and her headband. Her bag and matching shoes with the studs fit much better with this look than the ones on Keeki. But the fabric pattern looks like it escaped from an 80s rustic living room set. they said the phone is a new design.

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.

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_Doll_

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.

Head_Over_Heels_Taliyah_Harper_Doll_

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.

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.

Stay Tuned Day 3: Double feature means a Monarch meets a Meteor

The third day of “Stay Tuned”, the online event replacing the Integrity Toys convention for 2022, had two dolls inspired by two 90s TV sitcoms: Family Matters (hence their TGIT Comedy hour Thank Goodness it's IT reference, from ABC’s Thank God It’s Friday sitcom block including FM), and Fresh Prince of Bel Air. The uniting thread, apart from the era, is IT designer Vaughn Sawyers, as we get a Monarch and a Meteor doll. And while we would probably have gotten a stronger duo if Integrity picked only one of the two series (Fresh Prince of Bel Air alone could have given a whole collection worth of dolls), we get this rather weird couple of dolls, a whisper instead of a bang.

The inspiration for the two dolls per Integrity Toys:

First, we meet Tobias Alsford in the role of a nerdy-yet-sexy fashion intern coming of age as he tries to shake off the last remnants of his geeky high-school years and grows into his more mature looks while doing his very best to navigate the awkward circumstances that landed him in an internship at one of New York's top fashion magazines.

Then, we switch gears to meet Keeki Adaeze, who stars as a sweet, introverted teen (yes, in the 90s, adults played teens!), affectionately nicknamed "Princess" by her ultra-wealthy Hollywood family. Desperately wanting to help her come out of her shell, our star is sent across the country to move in with her hip, flamboyant Aunt who works in the 90s hip-hop music scene. Follow her fish-out-of-water adventures as she tries to fit in!

The Story:

In this classic comedy of errors, Tobias Alsford is absolutely perfect as an awkward 20-something lad who landed "the" dream internship he never thought he'd get at a top fashion magazine. He constantly finds himself in hilarious, yet bizarre situations, having to figure novel ways out of his crazy schemes in order to keep his job, all while working hard to become the "player" he's always not-so-secretly wanted to become behind those conservative clothes and glasses!

Tobias is one of my favourite sculpts, so it is always nice to see him appear in a collection. I am not so crazy about his look here though. Trying to emulate both the original Steve Urkel and his more glamorous alter ego Stefan Urquelle, Tobias has the outfit of the former and the looks of the latter. But for me, to be convinced to pay the already high price of a Monarch means a more sophisticated and complete outfit. That would mean, in this case, a second pair of pants for the more sophisticated look, plus a bag. I love the suspenders! Also, his beard looks more like it belongs to a Lego or Playmobil figure than a fashion doll.

Bel_Air_Princess_Keeki_Adaeze_doll

I mentioned earlier that Fresh Prince of Bel Air as a series could be the inspiration for an entire doll collection. Cousin Hilary alone could provide an entire collection with her numerous outfits! But here we have a different proposition: Fresh Prince reincarnated as a princess - what if we had a woman from Philly coming to live in L.A.? I am not sure that would have been the result though. The doll has too much hair and without a distinct style. Hilary would never. Will would never, what with his always sharp hi-top fade. Her lips are weird. I get the lip liner effort but here it looks ugly. It does not help that the prototype doll pictured has eyelashes only on one eye. The outfit tries to be an urban version of a school uniform. While I like the shirt, boots and bag, the rest of it could have been reworked. That skirt looks thrown on and the tights waist showing over it is bad. Would have been much better to just make a copy of the infamous Miu Miu mini skirt - not Bel Air related but better suited to this. For both dolls, it would have looked so much better and less awkward if the inspiration was more Thom Browne than Steve Urkel. For me that is the designer to go if you need flood pants or school uniform chic.

That was quick - Integrity Toys new basic dolls available Monday, February 8th

After last week’s reveal of the basic Victoire dolls and the plan of Integrity Toys to offer basic edition dolls in open edition sizes (when they "sell-out", more will be produced and then made available for sale again in the IT shopping cart), we now get two more dolls! From the Meteor line, designed by Vaughn Sawyers, we get two variations of Keeki. It looks like IT will be releasing one character from each line as a basic doll in two colour variations, and probably add more characters later on, depending on the project’s success. Looks good to me.

A beautiful basic version of Keeki - if you did not get any of her previous versions, this looks ideal. Great jewellery for a basic doll too. I have the first Keeki, so this is too close to her for me.

A blonde version of the same basic Keeki doll - the hair looks a bit disheveled here, compared to the first one. She’s lovely still. Are you getting any of these? Let me know in the comments.

IMPORTANT NOTE

Remember, once the first run "sells out", more will be manufactured. Once Integrity Toys runs out of the first batch, more will be added to the shopping cart at a later date. So, if you miss out on this first shipment, no worries, you will be able to place an order in the future, as more stock of the same dolls will be replenished whenever they will become available.

SERVER NOTE

Please remember, you might have to click on "refresh" at the appointed time once they go live to force the items to appear in the cart (you might also want to clear your cache or try a different browser if they don't appear).

A Meteor just landed - and it surely caused quite a stir!

The new W Club year - and by extension the new year for Integrity Toys releases - begun on the Saturday 14th of March, amid the Covid-19 pandemic, not a good omen for the future. But yes, life must go on and we should keep on dreaming. Plus, with more and more people worldwide confined in their homes due to the virus, we doll aficionados turn even more to our passion for relief and enjoyment. This weekend brought the release of a new line for Integrity Toys, designed by Vaughn Sawyers. It’s name is Meteor and the story line involves the opening of a trendy nightclub by three friends. Three new characters, with new sculpts, were unveiled in a collection made up by five dolls, four available from Integrity Toys dealers and one for W Club members as an event doll. All are priced at $150.00. The dealer dolls arrive in the last week of March, while the event doll will arrive by the end of summer.

IMG_4075.png

My thoughts on the line: I love the concept and that they are all from West Africa. The new sculpts are beautiful and will give us some really interesting dolls. I’m not crazy about all the outfits I’m seeing, but more about that in each doll’s comments. The vibe is certainly au courrant with the fashion trends as seen in the latest catwalks, particularly the decadent bourgeois trend evident in major fashion brands. The price is high, placing the dolls on a par with NuFace and near FR. I’d rather see a new line begin on a lower price level to lure people in, especially when it has a body that’s new to collectors. Better to start low, and when you see that there’s a healthy demand, raise prices. Also, releasing all dolls at once, and badly timed with people paying for older preorders, is not boding well for sales. It’s the same mistake they keep doing with East 59th and it seems they are simply not getting it.

As for the new body: in a video interview sent to Club members, Vaughn said he wanted the dolls to have a curvier body but had not time to develop a new one. So he created a new one by combining parts from other types of bodies. Here’s what Integrity Toys said about the new body:

We know that for many customers, compatibility between brands is extremely important. After careful consideration, Meteor ladies feature a newly assembled doll body composed of the following components:

  • East 59th upper torso;

  • Slightly re-engineered Color Infusion lower torso;

  • Fashion Royalty/NU. Face arms and hands;

  • Newly developed legs compatible with Fashion Royalty and NU. Face shoes.

With this fantastic body combo, these beautiful fashionistas will be able to easily borrow outfits and shoes from other dolls in your collection! You don't need to wait for more outfits to be released, you'll be able to dress, re-dress, pose and play as soon as you receive them!

The upper torso of East 59th is not the best choice for modern dolls. That body looks good for period fashions but is not aesthetically close to current fashion. They could have used the FR upper body. The lower part is a modified Colour Infusion torso. I guess that was for having a more curvy bottom. The legs are new but they say that they can share shoes with FR and NuFace. If that’s the case, why design a new foot at all? Just use existing ones. I am happy they are compatible though as the main reason I did not collect CI was their incompatibility with FR. That and their larger heads.

Let’s check each new doll and see how they look.

First one is Keeki, a beautiful lady in Nubian skintone, with lovely natural hair in a series of ponytails and whisps of baby hair on her temples. It’s a nice detail that complements her hair. I love the doll. Her make up is fresh and stylish and I really like that the lips look well defined without too many paint layers. Her outfit? The blouse needed more work on the sleeves, this type of sleeve in this scale either needs a lighter fabric or gathering at the wrists, to show off well. Now they simply look like lumps. I like the shorts and the versatility the boots. The colours are gorgeous. And her accessories are beautiful. Love the burgundy bag and the Byzantine jewellery which were done a lot by Chanel, and in a more artistic style by Yves Saint-Laurent and Christian Lacroix. And did you notice the detail on her manicured long nails? Wow. I preordered this one despite my dislike of the sleeve style, as I love the rest.

Zuri reminds me a lot of Suri from Black Panther, and not just name-wise. She’s a fierce looking doll with the air of those legendary Yves Saint-Laurent catwalk models of the 80s, Katoucha Niane and Mounia. And that gap toothed mouth is gorgeous. Her outfit is the embodiment of one of Vaughn’s sources of inspiration, the Real Housewives Of… reality series. My objections: first of all, the sleeve does not drape well with this fabric in this scale. It should have been narrowed at the armpit, meaning a more difficult execution. Or else discarded completely. Secondly, the skirt is pleather, which means eventual destruction. I tend to avoid pleather as much as possible. Accessories are again gorgeous, especially her jewellery. If the dolls were more spaced out as releases, I’d get her too. I will later, if she does not sell out.

IMG_4100.png
IMG_4093.png

Amirah is the sculpt I like least of all three. And the make up does not do her any favours here. Or the hair. The blouse she’s wearing tries to incorporate so many different things that ends up being a cacophony. And have I said I really hate torn jeans?

Her accessories are nice but not with the wow factor the two previous dolls have and ditto for the jewellery. Hard pass.

The second version of Amirah is much better than the first. The combination of pale skin and dark hair is very attractive, especially combined with the cool toned makeup she has. Too bad she has a boring hairstyle and a version of a Thom Browne that looks and feels overworked but unfinished too. She is missing the oomph of Browne.

The event doll is easily the best of the bunch. Vaughn said his inspiration for this one was Cardi B, but the doll reminds me of the Kimora Lee Simmons Barbie (see below)! She could easily stand next to the Retrofuture ladies too. The sequinned boots and intricate manicured hands are the cherry on top
