7 Sins is the theme of the Integrity Toys online Fall event - and there's a doll for W Club to pre-order!

As announced during the 2023 W Club registration period, we now have the initial details about the special IT online event that will take place in lieu of the traditional convention structure for this year. Currently expected to take place sometime later this Fall, it will be similar in scope to last year’s online event, but based on collector feedback, the event format itself will be more streamlined. Does this mean less dolls and presentations? I’m guessing that will be the case, it will help with orders, shipping and timely delivery.

This Year’s Theme is “7 Sins”: characters from select Integrity Toys’ brands will feature as personifications of the 7 deadly sins. There will be no pre-registration and no fee is required to participate: All 2023 W Club members will be able to participate. Items will become available via IT Direct, aside from the made-to-order pre-event doll available for pre-order today. Items will be more limited than last year and available via the right-to-buy lottery method. This is a logical consequence of last year’s multiple ways to get the event dolls, which meant some were delivered months later. Also I’m guessing some made to order dolls were not made in quantities sufficient enough to make a profit for the company.

This year’s pre-event doll is “Sweet Temptation” Tulabelle True, one of the last dolls created by Mark Tinkey for Integrity Toys - Mark is pursuing a career outside the fasion doll realm. Every W Club member gets the chance to pre-order this doll, with a deadline on August 28th, 2023 at Noon Eastern Time.

Sweet Temptation

Tulabelle True™ Dressed Doll

The Tulabelle True & Co.™ Collection

7 Sins: The 2023 Integrity Toys Online Event

Edition Size: TBD

Expected Ship Date: Early Spring 2024

Head Sculpt: Tulabelle 2.0

Body Type: TRUE/The Industry 1.0

Foot Sculpt: Articulated Ankle/Flat Feet

Skin Tone: Japan

Hair Color: Golden Blonde

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

MSRP: $180 + S & H

Special W Club Price: $165 + S & H

Sales method: These dolls are guaranteed made-to-order for 2023 W Club members only- 1 per membership.

($50.00 NRD deposit due now, $115.00 + S & H due in approximately early Spring 2024)

The Story:

In all her glamour and fashion-forward style, Tulabelle True showcases her sinful side in the sweetest way possible as she embodies the original sinner herself, Eve! With her impeccable style and undeniable presence, Tulabelle True wants you to give in to the temptation, take a bite out of life and let her join your collection today! Designed by Mark Tinkey.

Included:

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

• Pale pink ensemble consisting of a matching faux-fur trimmed coat, ribbon tie bra top, and mini skirt, all with sinfully decadent custom embroidery and beading detail;

• Golden shirt collar choker necklace;

• Golden jewellery set comprised of a charm bracelet, earrings, and a ring;

• Golden butterfly hair clips;

• Pink lace-up boots (made for flat feet);

• Sunglasses;

• Pair of long-manicured hands;

• Alternate pair of hands;

• Doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

Temptation is not one of the seven deadly sins but maybe this doll symbolizes the urge to indulge in one or more of them. Tulabelle never did it for me in any of her incarnations so far, but this one is by far her best iteration in the revamped line. We see butterfly jewellery, matching those worn by Metamorphosis Erin. Her outfit is very nice and matches those of the latest Meteor collection - or even Magia 2000’s Karolin. We have seen the necklace before. The snake and apple charm bracelet alludes to Eve and the garden of Eden aka the temptation to sin. Snakeskin bag of course - imagine Eve skinning the serpent to make a bag? Would have saved us a lot of trouble.

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

Dolly Fridays 2: The TRUE™ Collection is unveiled - Industry reborn!

The 2nd Dolly Friday W Club presentation was about a full collection, the second one revealed this club year (after Poppy Parker’s Palm Springs), which could be a sign of things returning to a more regular pace after the disruptions experienced beginning in 2020. There were six dolls unveiled in total, from the brand new TRUE Collection, all created by IT designers David Buttry and Mark Tinkey. The line is a rebranding of Industry, with a bit of Dynamite Girls pizzaz thrown in. Two dolls are IT Direct lottery items, while the rest are available through official IT dealers. I like what David and Mark are doing here - the collection is cohesive and has a definite point of view, combining the various inspirations and influences in a strong and relatable manner. Some dolls tend to look cartoony, edging closer to Dynamite Girls than Industry, but that was to be expected. Let’s hope this iteration stays and does not need another revamp to sell.

Very Necessary

Hollis Hughes™ Dressed Doll

The TRUE™ Collection

Edition Size: 800

Expected Ship Date: Late Summer 2023

MSRP: $165 + S & H

AVAILABLE ONLY FROM IT DEALERS

Head Sculpt: Hollis

Body Type: TRUE/The Industry 1.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled & Articulated Ankle Foot

Skin Tone: FR Black

Hair Color: Dark Brown Mix

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

The Story:

Top Model Hollis Hughes has been around the world and is a well-regarded voice in the Industry. She’s been brought onto the TRUE team to lend her expertise and knowledge to the brand and to make sure the company’s goals are kept on target. Irreverent, fierce, incredible and loyal are the words often used to describe Ms. Hughes.

Included:

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

• Cropped jacket;

• Pleated denim pants with ruched waistband detail; 

• Custom printed bra top; 

• Sunglasses; 

• Gold-tone bamboo style hoop earrings; 

• Chain necklace with rhinestone pendant; 

• Bangle bracelets; 

• Blue pumps; 

• Enamel flower brooch; 

• Custom printed purse; 

• Pair of long manicured hands;

• Alternate pair of grip hands;

• Pair of articulated flat foot lower legs;

• Alternate pair of high-heeled lower legs;

• Doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

We first saw Hollis in Style Lab and she was a popular sculpt, so here she is again as a TRUE character. She has a lovely face and nice make up, but the hair is very play-line. Her outfit is a mix and match of many disparate things that kind of work. Nice to see a different shape for sunglasses. She looks the most adult of the bunch. Hollis, like all the other female dolls of the collection, comes with two pair of feet, high heeled and articulated flat feet, even though they have only one pair of shoes.

Big Love

Tulabelle True™ Dressed Doll

The TRUE™ Collection

Edition Size: 800

Expected Ship Date: Late Summer 2023

MSRP: $165 + S & H

AVAILABLE ONLY FROM IT DEALERS

Head Sculpt: Tulabelle 2.0

Body Type: TRUE/The Industry 1.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled & Articulated Ankle Foot

Skin Tone: Sunkissed

Hair Color: Bright Pink

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

The Story:

Through years of experience in the fashion industry, Tulabelle has taken on a new role as creative director at her own label. She’s a free-spirit who is as smart as she is fun. She’s ready to step out of the shadows of her well known family and become a success on her own merits.

Included:

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

• Printed bodysuit with ruched sleeve and bow detail;

• Corduroy bibbed jumper with skirt;

• Purple faux fur jacket;

• Color blocked thigh high boots (made for flat foot lower leg);

• Vintage style handbag;

• Acrylic heart earrings;

• Two finger rings;

• Sunglasses;

• Pair of long manicured hands;

• Alternate pair of grip hands;

• Pair of articulated flat foot lower legs;

• Alternate pair of high-heeled lower legs;

• Doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

This is the first time that Tulabelle appears in a darker skin tone, at least in this sculpt version. I still cannot bring myself to like this sculpt - even though her resemblance to Ginger is stronger. The styling is very Gucci by Alessandro Michele and also has some Twiggy vibes. Awesome combination of colours throughout - and I love the miniature corduroy fabric. The boots are for the articulated flat feet she comes with, but of course one can use the high heeled feet to let her wear other styles.

Item # 88085

Shut It Down

Liu Liu Ling™ Dressed Doll

The TRUE™ Collection

Edition Size: 800

Expected Ship Date: Late Summer 2023

MSRP: $165 + S & H

AVAILABLE ONLY FROM IT DEALERS

Head Sculpt: Liu Liu

Body Type: TRUE/The Industry 1.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled & Articulated Ankle Foot

Skin Tone: FR White

Hair Color: Black

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

The Story:

Close friend of Tulabelle and as a senior stylist of the TRUE brand, Liu Liu has built a reputation for being honest and direct with her friends and business associates, making her one of the most trusted and well-regarded people in the fashion industry. She’s one of Tulabelle’s biggest assets at the brand, and she knows it.

Included:

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

• Sheer checkered body suit; 

• Custom printed crop top with short sleeves and ruffle detail; 

• Low-rise corduroy wide leg pants; 

• Red faux fur trapper hat;

• Silver-tone "belt" chain;

• Silver-tone drop earrings with enamel detail;

• Two finger rings;

• Two bangle bracelets;

• One cuff bracelet;

• Fox magnet brooch;

• Crossbody tote bag;

• Color blocked vintage inspired tennis shoes;

• Sunglasses;

• Pair of long manicured hands;

• Alternate pair of grip hands;

• Pair of articulated flat foot lower legs;

• Alternate pair of high-heeled lower legs;

• Doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

Probably one of the best versions of this sculpt, Liu Liu looks fantastic here - especially her colourful outfit. It consists of various items that work well together but also will work great in other outfits. I love the quirky hat (fox pin included) - it transforms the whole ensemble. The shoes and earrings are also great accessories and will be easily worked in other outfits. Love the printed bag too - David said it is a custom print, as pretty much all of the prints of this collection. Her face is a bit cartoony with this screening, reminding me a lot of Mulan dolls, but that might also be part of her appeal.

Drop That Ish

Tate Tanaka™ Dressed Fashion Figure

The TRUE™ Collection

Edition Size: 800

Expected Ship Date: Late Summer 2023

MSRP: $165 + S & H

AVAILABLE ONLY FROM IT DEALERS

Head Sculpt: Tate

Body Type: FR Homme 1.5

Skin Tone: Hungarian

Hair Color: Black Velvet Flocking

The Story:

As a noted designer, entrepreneur, and boyfriend of Tulabelle, Tate Tanaka has taken on the role as head of design at TRUE. Leaning into his many connections and resources and model good looks, he’s determined to make the TRUE brand stand out from the crowd.

Included:

• 12.5-inch articulated fashion figure with flocked hair;

• Orange corduroy cargo pants;

• Gold-tone plaid shirt;

• Matching teddy bear backpack;

• Vintage inspired graphic tee;

• Sleeveless distressed jean vest;

• Necklace;

• Finger ring (not pictured);

• High top sneakers;

• White sport socks;

• Faux fur bucket hat;

• Wristwatch;

• Sunglasses;

• Pair of regular male hands;

• Alternate pair of grip hands;

• Figure stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

Tate is usually the most popular doll in any collection he’s part of, and this one is no exception. He has a fully flocked head here and it is his first with a darker skin tone- each of his previous iterations had pale skin. His outfit is awesome - the plaid shirt looks a lot like the famous Alicia Silverstone Clueless outfit (and Salvador Arriaga staple) and matches with a gorgeous teddy bear backpack! Awesomeness! Furry bucket hat, multicoloured sneakers, necklace, glasses and watch complete the layered look. The whole look has value for money and I wonder why we cannot have this combination of price/clothing items + accessories in other lines. I’m happy that I managed to be confirmed for him.

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

MSRP: $165 + S & H

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

(For RTB winners only, a $50 non-refundable deposit will be due before Feb. 3rd).

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

*Special W Club pricing is limited to one per membership

The Story:

Socialite Jasper Jagger has done a lot in a very short amount of time. From being a part of her family’s media empire to creating her own popular cosmetic line at 20, this has all made her a known social media darling. She and Tulabelle are very close but have also been known to have their very public disagreements but no matter what, she’s been there for her bestie… for the most part.

Included:

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

• Colorful camo print bubble dress with drawstring detail and matching panties;

• Anorak style jacket with hood and "True" branded trim;

• Baby blue printed T-shirt;

• Knee high buckled platform boots with back zipper;

• Rhinestone choker;

• Pink painted hoop earrings;

• Red painted skull ring with rhinestone detail;

• Sunglasses;

• Pair of long manicured hands;

• Alternate pair of grip hands;

• Pair of articulated flat foot lower legs;

• Alternate pair of high-heeled lower legs;

• Doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

Contrary to many collectors, I never liked Jasper. I find the sculpt not only cartoony but also weird looking. This version does not change that. She does have a gorgeous outfit though: a fantastic hooded anorak (that I would wear myself), a beautiful bubble hemmed dress over a printed aqua t-shirt, platform gladiator boots and great jewellery (including a scull ring). I hope to be able to find that anorak at one point.

Auden Adler™ Dressed Fashion Figure

The TRUE™ Collection

Edition Size: 800

Expected Ship Date: Late Summer 2023

W CLUB ONLY IT DIRECT RIGHT-TO-BUY LOTTERY

Head Sculpt: Auden 1.0

Body Type: FR Homme 1.5

Skin Tone: FR White

Hair Color: Golden Blonde

MSRP: $165 + S & H

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

(For RTB winners only, a $50 non-refundable deposit will be due before Feb. 3rd).

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

*Special W Club pricing is limited to one per membership

The Story:

Auden Adler is a fixture at fashion shows every season. Starting off as a top fashion blogger, known for his exceptional good looks, and whip smart writing style, he’s now known for being one of the most influential fashion writers in the business. Not bad for someone who was once only known as the “Most Beautiful Boy”.

Included:

• 12.5-inch articulated figure with rooted hair;

• Custom knit striped sweater;

• Distressed green jeans;

• Brown corduroy jacket;

• Printed tote bag;

• "Leather" Oxford shoes;

• Ash grey socks;

• Gold-tone chain necklace;

• Heart finger ring;

• Head scarf;

• Sunglasses;

• Pair of regular male hands;

• Alternate pair of grip hands;

• Figure stand;

• Certificate of authenticity;

Auden was always one of the first dolls to sell out whenever Dynamite Girls dolls were unveiled. He returns here as an homage to the Warhol superstar actor Joe D’Alessandro, a very handsome guy that was part of the Warhol inner circle back in the late 60s and early 70s. He does indeed look like him in his prime, and the outfit channels early 70s hippie style transformed into modern dressing fare. For me, he was an instant reminder of a childhood comic figure, Blek Le Roc, an American hunter from the revolutionary era. I already have two gorgeous blonde Audens, so will skip this lottery. His sweater’s back is cyan (due to having an opening to facilitate his dressing). Love both the corduroy jacket (the scale is awesome) and the distressed effect on the pants.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Prototypes shown, final product may vary. This collectible is meant for adult collectors ages 15 and up only.

Stay Tuned Day 5: the Integrity Toys 2022 online event ends with a premiere and Jason Wu

The last day of the “Stay Tuned” online event had three dolls revealed: Integrity Toys made it look like the gala dinner of a normal convention, so we saw not one but two Jason Wu dolls. And there was also one NU Face doll, but instead of Jessy Ayala (who was noticeably absent throughout the event week), it was designed by David Buttry and Mark Tinkey

Despite the three dolls, we had only one series as inspiration: Sex And The City. The story goes that Lukas produced a new TV series named "Girl In The City", and we were also treated with clips from ITFTV: Integrity Toys Fashion TV, something like EW TV red carpet coverage. Giselle was the star of the new series, channelling Sarah Jessica Parker, while Aymeline, in a double appearance wearing two different Jason Wu looks, was on the premiere red carpet to support her.

Hello Lover

Giselle Diefendorf™ Dressed Doll

The 2022 Integrity Toys Event: Stay Tuned

Edition Size: TBD

Expected Ship Date: Summer 2023

W CLUB ONLY MADE-TO-ORDER

Head Sculpt: Giselle

Body Type: NF 3.0

Foot Sculpt: High-Heeled

Skin Tone: FR White

Hair Color: Golden Blond

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

MSRP: $190 + S & H

Special W Club Price*: $170 + S & H

Sales method: These dolls are guaranteed made-to-order for 2022 W Club members only- 1 per membership. Should any products remain after the final payment deadline has passed, they may be made available to the public and/or for purchasing extras at the MSRP.

($50.00 NRD deposit due now, $120.00 + S & H due in approximately Summer 2023);

*Special W Club pricing is limited to one per membership

The Story:

Watch out fashion lovers, real-life fashion designer Giselle Diefendorf is ready to add "actress" to her resume as she stars in "Girl In The City", a modern re-invention of popular romantic comedies from the early 2000s! It follows her very fashionable adventures in the city that never sleeps, as she tries to juggle her fabulous career as a top fashion critic and her complicated relationship with a fashion designer that she frequently needs to critique, oh and of course, her never-ending love affair with her lover's main fashion brand competitor- Manero! In the pilot episode simply titled "Hello Lover", you will fall in love with Giselle in the main role, just like we did!

Included:

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

• Black and white newsprint dress with shirring and rosette detail;

• Fascinator with veil and removable brooch;

• Black chrome earrings, ring, and bracelet with "stone" detail;

• Chrome clutch purse;

• Lace-up heels;

• Teal blue pumps with rhinestone detail;

• Shopping bag and shoe box accessories;

• Pair of regular FR hands;

• Alternate pair of long-manicured hands;

• "Stay Tuned" doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

So if this was a convention, one of the Aymeline ladies would have been the convention doll, the other the centrepiece and Giselle would have been one of the W Club event dolls - probably the souvenir one. She tries to emulate the famous Dior by John Galliano newspaper print dress that Carrie was wearing in Sex And The City but the dress has quite a different structure and the shoes look more like cheap Manolo knockoffs than the real thing (MANERO for Manolo, lol - btw Tony Manero is the name of the character John Travolta plays in Saturday Night Fever and Stayin’ Alive). Since I have seen better made shoe buckles from Integrity (and weirdly enough there is an example on the very next doll), that would look more like the ones on the original Manolos, it puzzles me as to why this choice was made - maybe lack of resources in the factory? They look bad. The doll is beautiful, with the trademark SJP hair in abundance - and it is the second Giselle we get this year.

*Special W Club pricing is limited to one per membership

The Story:

Ready to walk the red carpet at the "Girl In The City" Pre-Premiere screening, top-model Aymeline wears a classic Jason Wu gown, sure to land her on NU.MODE Magazine's "who wore it best" list!

Included:

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

• Jason Wu original multi-layered gown with ruching detailing at the bodice and ruffled neckline;

• Black satin high-heeled pumps with oversized buckles covered in tiny "diamonds";

• Drop pendant earring covered in "diamonds" and "stones";

• Navy blue "crystal" clutch purse;

• Pair of FR hands;

• Alternate pair of "pose" hands (not shown);

• "Stay Tuned" doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

Can anyone tell me why Aymeline has the original Hangisi Manolos while Giselle was left with a knockoff? LOL, cannot wait to see the two of them in a catfight for the pumps! A beautiful Aymeline, with red hair, that reminds me a bit of Androgyny Avantguard doll. The dress is not actually in his 2021 Fall collection but looks like a cross between a gown from that collection with an OOAK gown he made for Kristin Davis for the And Just Like That premiere (fits with this occasion perfectly, right?). She’s a catch - the price is the same as her previous incarnations and she has it all.

($50.00 NRD deposit due now, $149.00 + S & H due in approximately Summer 2023

*Special W Club pricing is limited to one per membership

The Story:

Aymeline just adored the premiere episode of "Girl In The City" (well, what little she saw of it!) and now that the screening is over, like a well-choreographed ballet, she rushed to emerge in another breath-taking Jason Wu original and completely transformed her look, just in time to turn heads again for the Post-Premiere party! What could be more glamorous? Like a beautiful chameleon, her incredible transformation created a sensational fashion moment and we're all thrilled to be there for it!

Included:

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

• Jason Wu original evening gown with multi-tiered ruffles;

• Hot pink clutch purse;

• Hot pink opera-length gloves;

• "Diamond" necklace;

• "Diamond" stud earrings;

• Hot pink lace-up high-heels;

• Pair of FR hands (not shown);

• Alternate pair of "pose" hands;

• "Stay Tuned" doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

Even though the doll is named Jason Wu Collection Spring 2020, there is no such dress in that collection apart from a similar but quite different finale gown. W Club confirmed that Jason said this is the same 2012 gown worn by the first Net-A-Porter 10th anniversary exclusive doll (in chartreuse) back in 2017. I guess since they already had the pattern, they decided it looks close enough to name it 2020. The gorgeous doll reminds me a lot of the ITBE Higher doll, but (unfortunately) in a lighter skin tone. She would have looked so much better in light honey or latino. She compliments the red head perfectly, plus they will make an awesome trio with my NAP Midnight Garden blonde Aymeline.

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.

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.

NU Fantasy Coven Couture collection closes the circle with Elements of Enchantment Korinne Dimas

This past Saturday, Integrity Toys did a live presentation for two dolls: the last doll in the Coven Couture series by Mark Tinkey as well as the first doll in the new Magia 2000 series for the line. Both dolls got collectors really excited, even though they will not be received until Spring 2023. Here we check out the Elements of Enchantment Korrine Dimas doll by Mark, who was present in the webinar, answering questions and showing us the prototype doll who looks amazing. The doll is a W Club lottery and, if any remain after that goes through, they will become available to the public - a thing I doubt as they are very popular dolls.

What a firring way to close the Coven Couture collection! Korinne looks amazing again, first time she is in a darker skin tone - she usually stays lighter. It suits the gorgeous dress to a T - I love the shape of it and the embroidery is fantastic. I’m all for green - if you want to sell me something, paint it green - and this olive shade is awesome. The only thing that worries me is the execution of the hip drape at the back - it does not look nice in the photos and it did not look nice on the presentation video. I hope this turns out better on the production dolls. She definitely channels Never Predictable Adaline King from the 2017 IFDC convention, designed by Vaughn Sawyers.

Her face looks amazing and the voluminous hair kept away from the face with the braids and gathering is well executed and avoids problems like Zuri had in the latest Meteor outing. I would have liked brown eyes instead of green though - would have given more of an Egyptian vibe. Mark said that Ancient Egypt was one of his sources of inspiration and I always like its elements if well Incorporated, like here. The curly hair, draping on the hips, gown shape, transparent fabric, plus those asymmetrical serpent earrings, are perfection. Well done Mark, not only for this amazing doll, but for the entire collection, which is one of the best ones Integrity Toys has done lately. I’m entering the lottery, are you?
