Dolly Day 2024 - only one day for the previously week-long IT release extravaganza

This W Club year we only got one Dolly Day instead of the multiple days presentations and reveals of dolls and offers usually organised by IT and the club. The unveils were slim pickings accordingly, with the first one being newly available doll replacement bodies, the second a Misaki release, the third a doll outfit and the fourth a Tulabelle True collection. We are going to focus on the last two reveals here.

Whereas I find the real clothes gorgeous, the doll translation leaves me cold. The fit and fall of the fabrics leaves a lot to be desired, especially in the lower parts of both coat and skirt. Kudos for the gorgeous shoes, much better tan those shown in the runway photos.

And unfortunately, we do not get the gorgeous Ayemeline shown wearing the outfit. If she was available, I would order her ASAP. Maybe she can be a club doll in 2025, yes Integrity?

IMPORTANT NOTE: Prototypes shown, final product may vary. Fashion set only; prototype Aymeline doll is not included. For adult collectors ages 15 and up only.

W CLUB ONLY IT DIRECT RIGHT-TO-BUY LOTTERY

Head Sculpt: Tulabelle 2.0

Body Type: TRUE/The Industry 1.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: Japan

Hair Color: Brown/Dark Brown Mix

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

MSRP: $165 + S&H / Special W Club Price: $150 + 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:

As the creative director for her brand, Tulabelle had an impossible challenge for the launch party- how do you dress to embody the spirit of the amazing Prismatica collection without taking away the focus and attention from it? She thought she nailed it, but she looked so adorably gorgeous that much of the social media buzz was, of course, focused on her! -Designed by David Buttry

Included:

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

• Fun look comprised of a matching metallic blue cropped jacket and mini-skirt with button detail;

• Silver metallic bustier;

• Silver "leather" knee-high boots;

• Adorable rainbow-glazed fabric handbag with oversized bow detail;

• LOVE "silver" and multi-color "jeweled" choker necklace;

• "Silver" butterfly ring;

• Large "silver" hoop earrings;

• Pair of long manicured hands;

• Alternate pair of grip hands;

• Doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

This is the Tulabelle does Barbie collection. Seriously, it’s giving Fashionistas vibes so much. And it’s a bit galling to keep getting Tulabelle with brown eyes while darker skinned dolls get green or light blue eyes. Stop doing that IT designers. Nice outfit, as if inspired by her grandma’s ski-bunny days. We have seen the choker and butterfly ring before.

Three Of Hearts

Hollis Hughes™ Dressed Doll

The Tulabelle True & Co.™ Prismatica Collection

Edition Size: 850

W CLUB ONLY IT DIRECT RIGHT-TO-BUY LOTTERY

Head Sculpt: Hollis

Body Type: TRUE/The Industry 1.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: A-Tone

Hair Color: Light Pink

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

MSRP: $165 + S&H / Special W Club Price: $150 + 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:

When Tulabelle wants to create a buzz, she absolutely must enlist the help of her friend, Hollis Hughes! Modeling one of the hottest looks from the Prismatica Collection, Hollis managed to charm all of the A-list influencers at the launch party and in doing so, became a trending topic on all the top social media sites! And she may even have stolen a heart or two... or three! -Designed by David Buttry

Included:

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

• Flirty look comprised of an asymmetrical purple ruffled chiffon mini-dress;

• Sheer purple mid-calf stockings with bow detail;

• Adorable multi-colored heart drop earrings;

• "Silver" bangle bracelets;

• Epoxy filled ring;

• Pair of long manicured hands;

• Alternate pair of grip hands;

• Doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

Cute but too close to Barbie - even Misaki has had a variation of this type of dress. Can we banish this to fashion purgatory for the next 400 years at least? Love the earrings. The bangs are too severe for the rest of the doll.

Bubble Up

Lark Lawrence™ Dressed Doll

The Tulabelle True & Co.™ Prismatica Collection

Edition Size: 850

Expected Ship Date: Late January 2025

W CLUB ONLY IT DIRECT RIGHT-TO-BUY LOTTERY

Head Sculpt: Lark

Body Type: TRUE/The Industry 1.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: Sunkissed

Hair Color: Golden Blonde

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

MSRP: $165 + S&H / Special W Club Price: $150 + 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:

Never one to shy away from the spotlight, Tulabelle insisted that Lark Lawrence also attend the launch party and she just knew the perfect look to match her bubbly spirit! Lark created some of the most talked about social media posts from the whole event when she starting blowing bubbles from a wand that spelled out "TRUE" and even inspired a viral social media challenge craze based on that iconic moment! -Designed by David Buttry

Included:

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

• Whimsical look comprised of a rainbow pastel micro-sequined bubble mini-dress layered over a separate pink satin strapless bra;

• Pink chrome open-toe high-heeled ankle boots;

• Pink satin purse with handcuff chain;

• Matching earrings;

• Matching bangle bracelets;

• Matching oversized ring;

• Pair of long manicured hands;

• Alternate pair of grip hands;

• Doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

Again a very Barbie look for Lark. These dolls all look like extras from the Barbie film. The eyeshadow looks a bit harsh, especially compared with her lip colour. Love the necklace. Is it me or are these dolls coming with less stuff then the previous TRUE collection?

Precious Cargo

Cabot Clark™ Fashion Figure

The Tulabelle True & Co.™ Prismatica Collection

Edition Size: 850

Expected Ship Date: Late January 2025

W CLUB ONLY IT DIRECT RIGHT-TO-BUY LOTTERY

Head Sculpt: Cabot

Body Type: Homme 1.5

Skin Tone: Hungarian

Hair Color: Light Brown Flocked

MSRP: $165 + S&H / Special W Club Price: $150 + 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:

No collection launch would be successful without the glam squad's "not-so-secret" weapon, Cabot Clark! Usually, it's his amazing styling that takes center stage! But his fabulous launch party ensemble, coupled with the gorgeous photos he posted with his better half, Milo Montez, who is always on hand to support his man, really set the internet on fire! -Designed by David Buttry

Included:

• 12.5-inch articulated fashion figure with flocked hair;

• Trendy look comprised of a multi-color cropped tweed jacket and pink metallic cargo pants;

• Cropped pink and yellow t-shirt;

• Pink "suede" high top sneakers;

• Pink "suede" happy face print doll-sized tote bag;

• Chain necklace;

• Magnetic brooches;

• White sunglasses with pink lenses;

• Pink jersey socks;

• Pair of homme hands;

• Alternate pair of grip hands;

• Figure stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.;

This is by far the best doll of this collection, the only one I entered the lottery for. Cabot looks quite different from his previous incarnations, fresh and exciting. He could be part of the Queer Eye team! Love both the outfit and the accessories. his jacket looks like Chanel (especially with the brooch), while the smiley tote makes a good contrast to that. Precious Cargo or saving grace?

You can see the dolls spinning around in the video below:

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.

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.

Item # 88076

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.

*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;

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.

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.

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: FR White

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.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Prototypes shown, final product may vary. The acrylic blocks shown are a display prop only and are not included with the doll. This collectible is meant for adult collectors ages 15 and up only.

Integrity Toys 2019 Convention Day 2: OOAK raffle dolls

Every year the designers of Integrity Toys create some amazing one of a kind doll’s to raffle off during the convention. This year was no exception. As the W Club unfortunately does not sent any email about them, I got some captures from the company’s Instagram stories so that you can check them out. You can see how popular they were with their followers too.

Third new Tulabelle doll and yes, I can officially say I don’t like her sculpt. In this case, I don’t like the outfit either. Which is a variation of last year’s Style Lab Poppy.

A colour variation (which is happening a lot in this convention and is, by now, lazy) of the W Club exclusive Midnight Decadence Poppy Parker. Looks nice but it’s frankly boring just seeing one colour variation after another and no new, exciting designs.

See how gorgeous a new doll design can be? Although new is not exactly a word one can use for a Karl Lagerfeld inspired doll, when Mattel has already done it before you. Still, Noah looks amazing here and I’d probably put all my raffle tickets towards him.

Beautiful Natalia (Flor means flower in Spanish and Portuguese), with a dress that looks like a flower.

Imagine handling a company’s social media and mistaking the product names. Nadja, again in a lighter skin tone, with one of those ruffled tulle dresses that have become quite popular lately.

Evelyn is so beautiful here, with her frothy polka dot gown and red hair. Please make a b&w version of the dress in the East 59th line.

Victoire embodies the Fire And Ice Revlon ad from 1952, with Dorian Leigh, but with a touch of Allure Monogram. Gorgeous.

A mess of an outfit. Why is this a Nu.Fantasy? What is the fairytale connection? If anyone knows, please comment on it. I’m guessing the sculpt is a Monogram.

Compare this to the previous doll. So much better! And it certainly looks like it took a lot of time making the dress, with the flowers and everything.

So, let us know your pick of the raffle dolls in the comments!

Integrity Toys 2019 Convention: Live From Fashion Week - Day 1

The 2019 Integrity Toys Live From Fashion Week convention opened officially this week in Baltimore and once again, this blog will be bringing you all the new dolls and outfits, as products become available at the convention throughout the weekend. This year's theme is all about fashion, and with the exception of the Poppy Parker Style Lab (which celebrates the 10th anniversary of Poppy Parker), every exclusive doll offered at the event, whether in the convention collection, salesroom, centerpieces or giveaways, is inspired by either Spring, Resort, Summer, Fall or Winter fashion weeks as follows:

Poppy Parker is Fashion Week Spring/Summer 1967

Fashion Royalty is Fashion Spring/Summer 2020

Monarchs is Fashion Week Resort 2020

East 59th is Fashion Week Fall/Winter 1956

The Industry is Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2020

NU. Face is Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2020

Dolls from the Fashion Royalty® Collection and the NU. Face™ Collection were designed by Jessy Ayala, the East 59th® Collection by Chris Stoeckel, The Monarchs Homme by Vaughn Sawyers and the Poppy Parker™ Collection by David Buttry.

The convention registration started on Wednesday for the attendees who arrived early and they all received "Fresh Perspective" Baroness Agnes Von Weiss in their welcome bag. The bag had Powder Puff Poppy Parker printed on it, celebrating Poppy’s 10th anniversary.

Note: All dolls pictured in these photos are prototypes; final colors and textures may vary slightly.

Fresh Perspective

Baroness Agnes Von Weiss™

Welcome Doll

The 2019 Integrity Toys Convention:

Live From Fashion Week

Edition Size: 700

Head Sculpt: Agnes Von Weiss

Body Type: FR

Foot Sculpt: High Heel

Skin Tone: Hungarian 

Hair Color: Caramel Blonde

Eyelashes: Yes

Quickswitch: No

I’m not crazy about this version of the Baroness. She’s beautiful but I find her make up too pronounced and candy coloured to like (it looks more prominent in real life photos). Her outfit and accessories remind me of Going Public Eugenia. And, as you will see below, most of the dolls in this convention so far, remind me of older releases. I don’t know if it is due to the production problems that troubled Integrity Toys this year or simple lack of inspiration, but I’m a bit underwhelmed by what I’m seeing in the first convention day, with a couple of notable exceptions.

The Integrity Toys Souvenir Shop and The Style Lab opened for business on Thursday. Let’s see the offerings that can be found in the Souvenir Shop - that is, the Convention collection and the shop exclusives.

Convention Collection:

Item # 91468

English Rose

Eugenia Perrin-Frost™ Dressed Doll

The 2019 Integrity Toys Convention: Live From Fashion Week Convention Collection

Edition Size: 700

Head Sculpt: Eugenia Perrin-Frost

Body Type: FR

Foot Sculpt: High Heel

Skin Tone: FR White

Hair Color: Raven

Eyelashes: Yes

Quickswitch: No

Cute but it’s like Vivacité with another skintone. The total would look completely washed out, save for the raven hair and brightly coloured shoes. The blouse looks beautiful but the skirt does not do it justice. Where is Ferré when you need him!

Item # 91469

Spring Romance

Adèle Makéda™ Dressed Doll

The 2019 Integrity Toys Convention: Live From Fashion Week Convention Collection

Edition Size: 700

Head Sculpt: Adèle 1.0

Body Type: FR

Foot Sculpt: High Heel

Skin Tone: Dark A-Tone

Hair Color: Raven (Flocked)

Eyelashes: Yes

Quickswitch: No

She look a lot like her sister from the Faces of Adéle giftset. From the waist up she gives me Adut Akech vibes in Valentino. The pants are not to my liking, they needed a more fluid fabric to work properly. Love the bag and hat, her accessories in general are superb.

Item # 82121

London Show

Nadja Rhymes™ Dressed Doll

The 2019 Integrity Toys Convention: Live From Fashion Week Convention Collection

Edition Size: 700

Head Sculpt: Nadja 2.0

Body Type: NU. Face

Foot Sculpt: High Heel

Skin Tone: Japan

Hair Color: Pale Honey Blonde

Eyelashes: Yes

Quickswitch: No

She’s fantastic! People have been clamouring for ages for a light coloured version of the Afroamerican Integrity Toys sculpts and the result is breathtaking. Her outfit is gorgeous too, reminding me of the OOAK Bow Down Nadja from the 2017 convention.

Item # PP153

Young Romantic

Poppy Parker™ Dressed Doll

The 2019 Integrity Toys Convention: Live From Fashion Week Convention Collection

Edition Size: 700

Head Sculpt: Poppy Parker

Body Type: Poppy Parker

Foot Sculpt: High Heel and Articulated Ankle (Comes With Both)

Skin Tone: Hungarian

Hair Color: Warm Dark Brown

Eyelashes: Yes

Quickswitch: No

I’m not against romantically styled dolls, but they have to be styled in a certain way. This is not it. Very renaissance looking, a little modern Juliet, looking for her Romeo. The extra flat feet and sandals only accentuate the effect.

Item # PP154

Kimono Go Go

Poppy Parker™ Dressed Doll

The 2019 Integrity Toys Convention: Live From Fashion Week Convention Collection

Edition Size: 700

Head Sculpt: Poppy Parker

Body Type: Poppy Parker

Foot Sculpt: Articulated Ankle

Skin Tone: FR White

Hair Color: Platinum

Eyelashes: Yes

Quickswitch: No

What a beautiful face! The only thing bothering me are the orangey brows. Her hairstyle and earrings are straight from the fashion magazines of the sixties. Her kimono though is not up to par. The huge obi distorts her silhouette in an ungainly way.

Item # 73012

Winter Shimmer

Lady Aurelia Grey™ Dressed Doll

The 2019 Integrity Toys Convention: Live From Fashion Week Convention Collection

Edition Size: 400

Head Sculpt: Lady Aurelia Grey

Body Type: E59

Foot Sculpt: High Heel

Skin Tone: Light Honey

Hair Color: Raven

Eyelashes: Yes

Quickswitch: No

The last doll of the convention collection is a new Aurelia. Blue seems to be a favourite colour for her. She looks regal and I love her jewellery. Not enough to want her for my collection though. The hairstyle is a bit off for her era though, it was popular in the next decade. Not many accessories but killer gloves.

The convention salesroom had a few more dolls available for collectors, with a new sculpt and character of - gasp! - older age debuting in the Industry line.

NEW CHARACTER!

Item # 88060

That's All

Plum Powers™ Dressed Doll

The 2019 Integrity Toys Convention: Live From Fashion Week Salesroom Exclusive

Edition Size: 400

Head Sculpt: Plum Powers

Body Type: The Industry

Foot Sculpt: High Heel

Skin Tone: Cream

Hair Color: Platinum/Silver Mix

Eyelashes: Yes

Quickswitch: No

She’s so obviously inspired by Iris Apfel but she also has a bit of the legendary fashion editor of Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar, Carrie Donovan, who had trademark huge glasses too. Want her! And her croc imitation Kelly style bag is to die for.

Item # 88061

Devil Made Me Do It

Tulabelle True™ Dressed Doll

The 2019 Integrity Toys Convention: Live From Fashion Week Salesroom Exclusive

Edition Size: 400

Head Sculpt: Tulabelle True 2.0

Body Type: The Industry

Foot Sculpt: High Heel

Skin Tone: FR White

Hair Color: Warm Dark Brown

Eyelashes: Yes

Quickswitch: No

We can see the new Tulabelle sculpt better now, I still cannot warm up to her. She looks so smug I want to punch her, LOL! Not sure about the asymmetrical jacket. I’d like it better if the asymmetry was also at her collar.

Item # 21012

Art Of Manliness

Darius Reid™ Dressed Doll

The 2019 Integrity Toys Convention: Live From Fashion Week Salesroom Exclusive

Edition Size: 500

Head Sculpt: Darius 2.0

Body Type: The Monarchs Homme

Foot Sculpt: The Monarchs Homme

Skin Tone: Nubian

Hair Color: None

Eyelashes: None

Quickswitch: No

One of the oldest and most loved characters makes his appearance again! Darius has a new sculpt, not a gorgeous as the previous one though. He look more like Tyson Beckford now. The hot pink suit is lovely. He has nice accessories too, plus a hat and an earring. And yes, the ugly sneaker trend has hit the Monarchs too. Must add that titling your male doll The Art Of Manliness in 2019 and the era of #MeToo and LGTB+ rights is a bit weird.
