Day 3 of the Dolly Days Integrity Toys event gave to collectors something they have seen so often lately, it has become the butt of many jokes: another Jason Wu dressed Elyse Jolie doll. It’s only a month, to the day, that W Club members were offered the chance to buy another such doll via lottery. Same thing this month. Again a blonde, pale Elyse, wearing one of the designer’s real life dresses in miniature. This one was worn on the red carpet by Kate Bosworth (for an acne product presentation ffs) and was custom made, contrary to what the club email says - if you check out the designer’s pre Fall 2016, it is nowhere to be found.
Did we need another Jason Wu dressed Elyse, only a month after the previous one, with the same expensive price, minimal styling and accessories? And in a year that has no regular FR collection offered? I’m saying no. And I’m seeing the same reaction from people online. Yes, it’s a beautiful doll. But that’s not the point here. It feels lazy, it is boring, lacks creativity and I’d rather have any other FR character in this offering but Elyse. Where’s Veronique, maybe in a Latin skintone? A friend joked online that the upcoming NuFace collection will consist of five Elyse dolls wearing T-shirts, each with a different NuFace character printed on it, plus a giftset of two Elyse dolls with the twins faces on their T-shirts. Retire the sculpt for a year. Make her precious again. And no, limited editions and velvet touch bodies don’t help.
