The Story:

The vast reaches of the Milky Way are tapestried with billions of brightly scintillating stellar phenomena, each competing to dazzle us with the intensity of their light. These fascinating stars shine through the cosmos like beacons of hope, perhaps bringing life to faraway, undiscovered planetary bodies, just as our very own sun nourishes Mother Earth in the ever-loving warmth of its glow.

She Who Awakens is an artistic vision meant to represent the pure beauty and vibrant source of energy that brings sustenance to all living things. But don’t be fooled, this glowing beauty is a force to reckon with, as her light stands firm against the dark energy of She Who Takes, the darkness always waiting to take it all away in a yin and yang–like, never-ending circle of creation.

Included:

• 12.5-inch articulated doll with brand new screening, long rooted hair and hand-applied eyelashes;

• Radiant look comprised of a golden molded armor top (metal) that attaches with magnet closures and a long golden satin skirt with layered ruffles at the knees and contrasting blue lining;

• Removable knee belt with custom sculpted solar themed metal embellishments;

• Set of matching custom sculpted armor gauntlets;

• Golden solar headpiece with two long micro-chain strands;

• Golden solar earrings connected by two shorter micro-chain strands;

• Golden high-heels with contrasting blue lining, golden ankle cuffs with chain and back zipper detail;

• Pair of long-manicured hands;

• Alternate pair of painted gloved hands with contrasting manicure and opera-length satin gauntlets;

• Souvenir fashion sketch panel featuring original art;

• Custom designed collector packaging;

• Doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

What a fantastic doll! I have been following Danilo and his awesome creativity through his Instagram profile for quite some time now, and this collaboration with Integrity Toys is very much deserved. He has a unique vision and his creations are beautiful and impressive, and so is this doll. Nyasha is looking gorgeous here, with her golden armour and gown. The accessories and make up help define and embellish the final look, making this a very strong presence. Extra points for the amazing headdress. The blue detailing on the gold makes the look adjacent to ancient civilizations like Egypt and Mesopotamia. I’m entering the lottery for her.

The Story:

Sustaining the universe through their endless dance, light and darkness give rise to destruction, clearing the path for rebirth. In a creative vision rarely seen in doll form, She Who Takes embodies the dark energy that envelops all that is luminous within the cosmos, an anchoring force that holds creation in balance, allowing the miracle of life to unfold.

Clad in a fantastical gown inspired of the infinite vastness of space, and adorned with unique, custom-designed jewellery meant to echo the swirling vortex at the threshold of the darkest black holes, She Who Takes stands ready beside She Who Awakens, proud and unyielding, together maintaining the fragile equilibrium of existence.

Included:

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

• Transcendental look comprised of a black molded top with magnetic closure and separate voluminous skirt with luscious layers of shimmering tulle and organza;

• Sheer black tights;

• Sheer black arm gauntlets;

• Dramatic stellar phenomenon inspired crystal-covered headpiece with separate scarf/veil that can be worn in multiple ways;

• One stellar phenomenon inspired crystal-covered earring;

• Matching stellar phenomenon inspired crystal-covered brooch;

• Black spiral cuff bracelets;

• Statement high-heels with dramatic stellar phenomenon inspired crystal-covered embellishments;

• Pair of long-manicured hands;

• Alternate pair of painted gloved hands with contrasting manicure;

• Souvenir fashion sketch panel featuring original art;

• Custom designed collector packaging;

• Doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

The second doll is the opposite, in terms of colouring and concept, to the first one, but still breathtakingly beautiful. It does not hurt that she looks a lot like two previous Luchia iterations with the Isha sculpt, Go North (IFDC 2011) and Shimmering Copper (ITBE 2013), both very sought after dolls. The outfit is spectacular, with the sculpted armour bodice (which reminds me a lot of the ones Issey Miyake made in the 80s) combined with a cloud of organza for the skirt. The ornaments and accessories are very original and fit the theme perfectly. I also like the fact that instead of doing a matching copy of the dress from the first doll in black, Danilo really went into it and created a great opposite force of a doll. The veil can be used in very creative ways when styling the doll. I entered for this one too.

See the dolls rotate in the video below - good luck to all entering the lotteries.

Two new Close Up Fashion Royalty dolls are unveiled!

The last Fashion Royalty dolls we had seen apart from convention, was Elyse back in January. There was an online presentation of two close-up dolls from the Fashion Royalty collection, designed by IT designer Jessy Ayala. Technically these two belong to the FR Maison collection (as per their story descriptions that say they model lingerie from that line), but it is not mentioned in their characteristics at all. I used to think that Close Up was a term used by Integrity Toys for the dolls that are neither basic nor fully dressed and accessorised. - as they are usually wearing robes over lingerie or swimwear and have been a staple of the company since the early Fashion Royalty days. But Alain explained that the term is inspired by the close up shots of models for cosmetics brands - and then I checked previous releases and saw that there were basic dolls released with robes as well. These two ladies were based on those early Veronique and Adele dolls - but the choice of characters was a bit surprising, and frankly, quite welcome. The dolls will be mainly given to the W Club through a lottery, while a small portion will be allocated to the general public next year, when the dolls have been shipped to the USA.

So nice to see Isabella making her second ever appearance, and outside a convention too! She looks gorgeous here, much better than her first version. For me, this is like the type version of the sculpt, how I would have imagined Isabella to be. And this is the reason I entered the lottery for her. I do not have this sculpt yet in my collection, so it would be perfect if she could be part of it. I like the outfit too, mainly the “robe” she is wearing, with the over the top puffed sleeves and the corset detail at the waist. She’s definitely channelling those early Close Up FR ladies!

I was never fond of Luchia’s second sculpt, neither liked her using Isha’s face at the beginning. I have only one from that period (the Madonna inspired Bewitching Hour) and was never tempted to get another. But this time, I want her. I really do. She’s being done justice at last. Channelling Cindy Crawford (or Zana Zhadrick, take your pick), she is breathtakingly beautiful and the dark version of the outfit we saw on Isabella only serves to enhance her beauty. I do not mind they are wearing a colour variation of the same outfit, I still want them both. I only wish they had a lower price to begin with. And no, the clothes hangers and the W necklaces do not begin to justify it.

Integrity Toys Summer 2016 reveal: Fashion Royalty collection

As the W Club started later than usual in 2016, it affected the pacing and schedule of new doll releases. This past weekend was the second unveil of the year, after the first with the Poppy Parker collection early this summer. This one included the Fashion Royalty collection, arguably the most important one of Integrity Toys, plus the My Little Pony (MLP) franchise collection and a couple of ITBE 16 dolls. This event was a live webinar presentation, unlike the previous one which was done through emails. The presentation was done by Carol Roth, W Club founder, assisted by Alain Tremblay, but without the Fashion Royalty designer, Vaughn Sawyer, who was in China attending production procedures. The team was completed with Jesse Ayala for the MLP line (more for that in the relevant post). They also mentioned that the collection was based on a concept worked by Jason Wu and Vaughn together. Jason will also be making an appearance at this year's Integrity Toys convention in Chicago and Alain said that if anyone is still interested in attending, to contact him at the company email - there may be a few places available.

As was expected, the Fashion Royalty collection generated a lot of talk and probably raised more questions than it answered. The main one was the new decal eye (hybrid eye as IT names it, meaning the actual eyes are water slide decals and the eye make up is painted with stencils as before) process that some of the dolls are now using, which begun, without the buyers knowing about this, with the upgrade Vanessa club doll and the IFDC Dasha/Annika doll. I will make a separate post about this so will not elaborate further here. As you will see reading on, the dolls that have decal eyes from this collection have it in their specifications.  Most are available to pre-order (with Natalia and Elyse already sold out at most dealers) while Vero, as a basic doll (a much welcomed return of the Close Up dolls), will be available later in the year through IT Direct.

How I saw the collection "A Delicate Bloom" as a whole? I was again underwhelmed, much like with the Poppy Parker one. While it looks nice and coherent, with some gorgeous details and dolls, it is not what I was expecting based on the Vanessa upgrade doll and her delicate, intricate outfit, hairstyle and accessories, that all the dolls would have a similar styling and aesthetic. And while the intense colours and lack of black (much to the joy of several collectors) did stay the same, the rest were severely lacking. I know many people loved it and that is good, but I was waiting to see something entirely different. Another thing that raised a lot of noise was the lack of non-caucasian dolls. With the exception of the asian Kyori, the rest of the dolls are caucasian, even the Latina Natalia has the FR White skin-tone. And no, the so called Hungarian skin tone is not ethnic, just a slightly tanned variation. It is a bit weird coming from this particular company, especially considering last year's gorgeous darker skinned dolls and their popularity. More about how I see each doll below.

Item # 91397

Contrasting Proposition

Natalia Fatalé™ Dressed Doll

The Fashion Royalty® Collection

Approximate Ship Date: September 2016

Limited Edition Size: 700

Suggested Retail Price: $135.00

Doll Tech Specs:

Body Type: FR2013

Head Sculpt: Natalia Fatalé 2.0

Quick Switch Feature: No 

Skin Tone: FR White

Hair Color: Blond

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-Applied

Natalia Fatalé™ is a 12.5-Inch completely articulated fashion doll with long, side-parted fully rooted hair and hand-applied eyelashes. She wears a high-contrast beaded cocktail dress with a lace overlay. Natalia completes her look with highly-textured accessories such as a faux-fur covered clutch purse, chunky golden jewelry and ribbon laced "patent leather" pumps. This doll also includes a doll stand and a certificate of authenticity. 

She is a beautiful doll, and if I did not already have both a blonde Natalia and another with FR White skin-tone (she is the third Natalia variation with this tone, both previous ones were convention dolls), I might have pre-ordered her, even though I am not crazy about the dress. I love her make up and styling, and the simpler hairstyle, a staple of this particular collection, fits her perfectly. No wonder she is the most popular from this bunch, along with Elyse. Great accessories too.

Item # 91393

Emerging Rebel

Kyori Sato™ Dressed Doll

The Fashion Royalty® Collection

Approximate Ship Date: Week of August 22nd, 2016

Limited Edition Size: 700

Suggested Retail Price: $135.00

Doll Tech Specs:

Body Type: FR2013

Head Sculpt: Kyori Sato™ 2.0

Quick Switch Feature: No 

Skin Tone: Japan

Hair Color: Medium Brown

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-Applied

Kyori Sato™ is a 12.5-Inch completely articulated fashion doll with long, side-parted fully rooted hair and hand-applied eyelashes. Kyori wears a fitted embroidered faux-leather dress, accessorized by a sculptured pale grey leather bag, lavender pumps, golden jewellery and a pair of oversized sunglasses. This doll also includes a doll stand and a certificate of authenticity. This doll features the new hybrid eye screening method.

I usually prefer my Kyoris with dark hair and intense make up, and this one made no exception. While I know this colouring will be popular with collectors, it leaves me a bit underwhelmed - maybe if the lips were darker or the hair cut in a shoulder length bob (which is one style sorely missing from collections), she would be more enticing to me. Have in mind that this is one of the dolls with the decal eyes. I also hate faux leather fabric on dolls, the material does not stand the test of time and usually dries out and flakes after some years (for example the intricate corset of Bewitching Hour Luchia), which I hope does not happen to this dress and ruin the gorgeous Japanese-style embroidery. I love the bag and, while the colour contrast of violet, grey and beige should not work, it kind of fits. The glasses are an old design and I think it is time to have a new one - a circle shaped pair would have been more in line with the real life trends.

Item # 91394

Daytime Impact

Dasha™ Dressed Doll

The Fashion Royalty® Collection

Approximate Ship Date: September 2016

Limited Edition Size: 700

Suggested Retail Price: $135.00

Doll Tech Specs:

Body Type: FR2013

Head Sculpt: Dasha™

Quick Switch Feature: No 

Skin Tone: FR White

Hair Color: Platinum

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-Applied

Dasha™ is a 12.5-Inch completely articulated fashion doll with long, side-parted fully rooted hair and hand-applied eyelashes. Dasha has a tailored two-piece faux-suede suit, which features lace appliqués and matching piping. It comes with a turquoise colored lace cami, a matching bag, watermelon coloured pumps and black chrome chunky jewellery. This doll also includes a doll stand and a certificate of authenticity. This doll features the new hybrid eye screening method.

I was ready to get this Dasha, having missed on the IFD Annika gorgeous one, but two things stopped me from ordering her: the 80s outfit and the decal eyes. While I find the lace and piping amazingly done, the colouring and shape of the suit is off-putting, reminding me of the bad side of the 80s. Think how this would look if the suit was in rust red with an olive green cami instead. And while smokey eyes and pale lips are always a winner for me, the way she resembles a very nasty TV personality in Greece holds me back - it's a personal thing, the doll is very beautiful.

Fresh and Delightful

Véronique Perrin® Dressed Close-Up Doll

The Fashion Royalty® Collection

Approximate Ship Date: Mid to Late October 2016

Limited Edition Size: 700

Suggested Retail Price: $89.00 + Shipping and Handling

Doll Tech Specs:

Body Type: FR2013

Head Sculpt: Veronique 2.0 

Quick Switch Feature: No 

Skin Tone: Hungarian

Hair Color: Black

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-Applied

Véronique Perrin™ is a 12.5-Inch completely articulated fashion doll with long, fully rooted hair and hand-applied eyelashes. Véronique wears a flower printed, high-contrast black lace overlaid mini-dress, matched with chunky rose gold jewelry, "patent leather" shoes and an over-sized designer handbag. This doll also includes a doll stand and a certificate of authenticity. This doll features the new hybrid eye screening method. She will be available via IT Direct only, through lottery.

This Vero incarnation marks the return of the Close Up dolls. In other words, basic editions of FR characters, with minimal fashions and accessories, offered in a lower price, making them more easily available to collectors. What I see though is a doll in a similar get up to Natalia, in a much lower price. The decal eyes are surely not the reason for that, are they (the prototype has wonky eyes if you look)? They both wear lace overlay short tailored dresses, have a bag, earrings, necklace and bangle and a pair of shoes. Natalia has a ring but I am guessing that does not make up the price difference. On the other hand, Vero has a more elaborate hairstyle.

Fabulous Fields

Luchia Z.™ Dressed Doll

The Fashion Royalty® Collection

Approximate Ship Date: September 2016

Limited Edition Size: 600

Suggested Retail Price: $135.00

Doll Tech Specs:

Body Type: FR2013

Head Sculpt: Luchia Z.™ 2.0

Quick Switch Feature: No 

Skin Tone: Cream

Hair Color: Red

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-Applied

Luchia Z.™ is a 12.5-Inch completely articulated fashion doll with long, fully rooted hair and hand-applied eyelashes. Her gown features topstitched ribbons on the torso to create the illusion of a form fitted corset which creates a structured silhouette. It comes accessorised with a jewelry set, a lemon yellow clutch and chrome pink heels. This doll also includes a doll stand and a certificate of authenticity. This doll features the new hybrid eye screening method.

I do not have this sculpt yet (there are two older incarnations of it, a limited Bergdorf version and an FR2 release), and the doll's colouring and style is enticing enough, were it not for the decal eyes and the fabric print, which I do not like at all. Even though I usually love what Alain designs, this custom made print of his is a dud and ruins what could have been a very sexy and striking gown. If you are not convinced, check the event doll to see the better version. I love the jewellery and shoes.

Ruffles and Blooms

Eugenia Perrin-Frost™ Dressed Doll

The Fashion Royalty® Collection

Approximate Ship Date: September 2016

Limited Edition Size: 800

Suggested Retail Price: $150.00

Doll Tech Specs:

Body Type: FR2013

Head Sculpt: Eugenia Perrin-Frost™

Quick Switch Feature: No 

Skin Tone: Hungarian

Hair Color: Auburn

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-Applied

Eugenia Perrin-Frost™ is a 12.5-Inch completely articulated fashion doll with long, fully rooted hair and hand-applied eyelashes. The gown features sculptural details at the waist, chiffon ruffles at the neckline and embroidered blooms along the hem of its skirt. The look is finished with a jewellery set, a purse and matching shoes. This doll also includes a doll stand and a certificate of authenticity. 

Not a version of Eugenia I want, plus the gown is a bit problematic with the overload of both structure, embroidery and the detail on top. The dress is inspired from a S/S 2016 Oscar De La Renta gown (photo above from The Telegraph), but the original works better with the two contrasting colours and the more controlled (and not embroidered) skirt volume.

Skin Tone: Japan

Hair Color: Golden Blond/ Champagne 

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-Applied

Elyse Jolie is a 12.5-Inch completely articulated fashion doll with long, fully rooted hair and hand-applied eyelashes. The gift set comes complete with an evening gown, a two-piece skirt suit, which features a brocade skirt with an asymmetrical hemline and a classic 3/4 length sleeve jacket over a  sleeveless chiffon blouse with matching scarf. The gift set also includes a lingerie set and accessories such as a leather bag, two pairs of shoes and jewellery.  A doll stand and a certificate of authenticity in also included. 

After the success of the club Elyse gift set, here comes another one. I love everything about it, and for me, it is the only completely perfect doll from this collection that can stand along with the upgrade Vanessa. The dress is an old Armani Prive design from 2010 that was worn by Jennifer Lopez in that year's Oscars (with striking effect) and it looks gorgeously made here and in a lovely colour. i predict a catfight if these two ever meet, LOL!

My only complaint is the skirt asymmetry: in this scale, it had to be more pronounced to look good, now it looks like a cutting mistake. The doll is a blonde version of Avenue Montaigne Elise (sans glitter), which is good. Her lingerie is gorgeous too and her bag looks fantastic. I wish she had more elaborate earrings for this price, but the ring makes up for it a bit.

So what do you think of this year's Fashion Royalty collection? Which dolls are you getting?

Integrity Toys 2012 release: FR Squared by Jason Wu

When the time came for the Fashion Royalty:Squared presentation, we were greeted by none other than Jason Wu himself as he is personally designing this collection - his fashion firm is mentioned under the line's name on the boxes. A trio of  dolls were presented: Tatyana, Ayumi and Luchia Z. He said that the line will act as a platform to bring back characters that were away from the spotlight. The fashions will be more adventurous and mysterious.

Item #57016 Nouveau Régime Tatyana Alexandrova™ Dressed Doll FR: Squared™ Collection Suggested Retail Price: $175.00 US Limited Edition Size: 400 Dolls Worldwide Estimated Delivery date: Mid June 2012 

Tatyana Alexandrova was moved to the FR2 line back in last year's convention. That doll was not a favourite of mine as I did not like the bangs or the dress. What a change now. She looks incredible here, with her sexy and luxurious dress, her chic up-do and mesmerizing make up. She wears a red hot cocktail gown, accented by a large bow at the shoulder and a contrasting gold lace bustier. The look is finished with a "gold" jewelry set, a matching red clutch purse, pantyhose and detailed tone-on-tone designer heels (they sport a miniature "gold"chain. I am a sucker for red lips and smoky eyes and will try to obtain her although she is one of the most sought after dolls this season.

Item #57017 Opium Ayumi N.™ Dressed Doll FR: Squared™ Collection Suggested Retail Price: $175.00 US Limited Edition Size: 400 Dolls Worldwide Estimated Delivery date: Mid July 2012

Ayumi Nakamura also changed sculpt recently, when she joined FR2 at the IDEX presentation (she was the event doll there). I was not fond of that doll because of her make up and because of my love for the old Sculpt of Ayumi (which had been used twice I think, I have the first one). Her second appearance in the same year makes this kind of special - and she got the looks to match. Her look is reminiscent of the 30's and 40's movie stars like Joan Crawford or Bette Davies. Ayumi wears a high-contrast fire red cocktail jacket over a black floor length, long sleeved, ultra-fitted siren gown. Her hair is neatly styled in an up-swept chignon and her look is completed by her earrings, two (yes two!) rings, a matching clutch purse and high-end patent "leather" pumps. She;s a keeper.

Item #57018 Strict Elegance Luchia Z.™ Dressed Doll FR: Squared™ Collection Suggested Retail Price: $175.00 US Limited Edition Size: 400 Dolls Worldwide Estimated Delivery date: Mid July 2012 

Luchia Z completes the trio and is the most recent one to make a transofrmation - the old sculpt (Isha's own) is abandoned and replaced by the one used for the FNO Bergdorf Goodman doll back in 2011. A change that left many people gasping as the two sculpts are completely different from each other. The Integrity people seemed surprised we did not know it yet! So apart from style the three ladies here share another common thing: new faces! She is dressed like a dominatrix, in a slim-fitted "leather" skirt topped by a form enhancing "leather" and lace bustier, her sleek raven hair pulled back but framing her high forehead at the front as well. The look is finished with a frilly "fake mongolian lamb" coat, black chrome jewelry and a chrome "leather" purse that perfectly matches her designer shoes.

Fashion Royalty: Bewitching Hour Luchia

A few days ago, the Fashion Royalty W Club announced its second doll of the year. The W Club dolls are the ones sold only to club members, and made in numbers according to the orders placed. This year, they had two dolls announced, and Bewitching Hour Luchia is the second much anticipated doll. I must say that the Luchia sculpt is not one of my favourites of the Fashion Royalty line - it is the reason I only have one Isha (the original character with this face) so far in my collection. But with this doll, I might just change my mind after all.


Jason Wu had hinted at the FR convention that the new Club doll would be a familiar character done in a different way. Was he right! The revamped Luchia is done in a colour palette reminiscent of the Mademoiselle Jolie OOAK charity doll, a truly different and beautiful look for Ms. Luchia Z. She does indeed bring to mind Angelina Jolie (in her blonde days), which is the main reason I really like this doll. According to the Club description, the doll models a "super-villain" inspired look mixed with true haute style.


Luchia is dressed in a mini dress in the palest of pink hues, accented with micro-pleated detail at the bust. Her black knee-length trench coat stands out with a number of fabulous details including buckles that highlight the three-quarter sleeve and an oversized "leather" studded belt with lace-up closure. Black gloves, earrings and a black chrome cuff bracelet round out the ensemble. The look is completed with potentially the hottest footwear ever done for Fashion Royalty, a pair of mile-high strappy gladiator boots that would make even Carrie Bradshaw jealous! Luchia's golden blonde locks, blush skin tone (a first for Luchia) and vampy makeup palette add the perfect complement to her "haute" outfit! The clothes look very stylish and the leather belt stunning - not to mention the gladiator boots (please do not try them at home!). So this looks like a winner to me!
