Integrity Toys 2024 convention - Stilettos Out day 1: The convention collection and welcome doll

This year, Integrity Toys decided that it was about time they returned to an in-person convention, instead of the virtual online events they organized from 2020 onward, because of the pandemic. It sold out as is always the case with the IT events. They did a rehearsal last year with the Curated event (which was sold out as well but it left much to be desired in the organization department). So you can imagine that all club members, even the ones not attending, held their breath waiting for the event to start.

And then the unexpected happened: attendees received an email, about a week from the event, that the dolls for the convention had not arrived and would not be at the hotel, due to a combination of port workers three-day strike, the repeated hurricanes striking US east coast etc. Instead, attendees would have to make do with the prototype dolls on display, a QR code system to place their orders on-site. The dolls would ship to the attendees homes after the event and the company would supply gift cards as credit for the shipping costs. The furore of the club members was such (plus pointing out a clause in the terms and conditions of the convention ticket that specified free shipping in case the dolls were not delivered at the event), that IT had to change course and give real free shipping to all attendees. Of course those attending that come outside the US still have to pay taxes /custom duties when dolls are shipped to them instead of travelling back in their suitcase, and that is quite an extra cost to shoulder. The overall tone of the email did not help, as it was far from apologetic and more like “oops! we had an accident, no biggie”. The fact that the company waits until the very last week before an event to receive their merchandise for it shows poor planning. Even people like me, outside the US, knew about the hurricane season troubles, even the planned port workers strike. Also, since the pandemic, shipping keeps having serious problems with being on time (not that it did not have any before, but…), so it is always prudent to plan ahead of time. Anyway, let’s hope that all this will be seriously addressed at some point in the convention, directly from IT to their loyal, hard cash earned paying customers face to face.

So, on with the show - what is the Stilettos Out story all about? As per the club email:

Many highly sought-after, ultra-rare artefacts have disappeared all over the world and no one, not even the savviest, most fashionable detectives from the the SSB (Secret Style Bureau) and other covert agencies like FPI (Fashion Police International) have been able to figure out how these seemingly disconnected items are related! This year’s convention attendees were invited to participate in this intriguing mystery, tasked to help fictional true crime podcaster/blogger Donna Drake collect clues that will ultimately solve this decades-old cold case!

On the first day of the event, attendees arrived for registration (with early registration taking place on the previous day) and received their welcome bag, which included a mysterious dossier with some clues, and also learned they were getting a Welcome Gift Set, seeing the first part, the "Cryptic Cases" Imogen Lennox as Donna Drake doll, to be completed with more clothes and accessories during the event. The whole thing is part of the clue searching, as she’s the investigating agent all attendees must help uncover the mystery. Below, you can see the Welcome Gift Set doll as well as the Convention Collection dolls, available for attendees at the Souvenir Shop along with the NU. Face Seven Style Lab, which will be in the next article.

Item # 75033

Cryptic Cases

Imogen Lennox® As Donna Drake™ Gift Set

The NU. Fantasy™ Collection

Stilettos Out: An Integrity Toys Fashion Thriller

Welcome Doll

Edition Size: 600

Head Sculpt: Imogen

Body Type: NF 3.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: Hungarian

Hair Color: Dark Espresso

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

Designed By Alain Tremblay

Imogen looks beautiful and must have been a welcome surprise to people registering for the convention, as there had been no mention of a welcome doll in the event communication. She does remind me of Be Daring Imogen 2016 club upgrade doll and also the Tropicalia 2012 convention had Imogen as a welcome gift set too! She looks quite basic now, let’s see what else she will acquire during the event to complete her set - and solve the mystery perhaps?

Item # 91558

Lethal Rose

Vanessa Perrin® Dressed Doll

The Fashion Royalty® Collection

Stilettos Out: An Integrity Toys Fashion Thriller

Convention Collection

Edition Size: 600

Head Sculpt: Vanessa 1.0

Body Type: FR 6.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: Sunkissed

Hair Color: Espresso Brunette

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

Designed By Jessy Ayala

Vanessa looks like an Old Hollywood screen siren here, like Ava Gardner or Jane Russel. Bombshell material! Her screening looks a bit off to me, as if she’s trying to imitate someone else - let’s say Natalia for example.The hairstyle contributes to that feeling as well.Love her opera glasses! The shoes, corsage and stiletto (this style of a dagger makes it a stiletto) could have been part of the Magia 2000 Vanessa, no?

Item # 82176

La Sombra

Alejandra Luna™ Dressed Doll

The NU. Face® Collection

Stilettos Out: An Integrity Toys Fashion Thriller

Convention Collection

Edition Size: 600

Head Sculpt: Alejandra

Body Type: NF 3.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: Blush

Hair Color: Lunar Lavender

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

Designed By Jessy Ayala

Alejandra is at her most daring here, with shaved brows and a very revealing sexy outfit. Unfortunately she looks like a Cold Carbon pale imitation (pun intended) and also channels a certain singer that I feel disgusted even thinking about, because of his abuse issues. Hard pass.

Item # 77260

Gold Season

Poppy Parker® Dressed Doll

The Poppy Parker® Collection

Stilettos Out: An Integrity Toys Fashion Thriller

Convention Collection

Edition Size: 600

Head Sculpt: Poppy

Body Type: PP 1.5

Foot Sculpt: Articulated Ankle

Skin Tone: FR Black

Hair Color: Dark Brown Mix

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

Designed By David Buttry

Cute Poppy but looks like a mash up of previous releases: Take Midas Touch, give her the Lady Luck/Spice screening in matching colours and an outfit reminiscent of Gold Snap, shake well and presto! She looks gorgeous and the photo above kind of gives Diana Ross vibes during her Supremes era.

Item # 77261

Swiss Miss Behave

Poppy Parker® Dressed Doll

The Poppy Parker® Collection

Stilettos Out: An Integrity Toys Fashion Thriller

Convention Collection

Edition Size: 600

Head Sculpt: Poppy

Body Type: PP 1.5

Foot Sculpt: Articulated Ankle

Skin Tone: Japan

Hair Color: Silver Blonde

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

Designed By David Buttry

Poppy Parker plays Leia Organa in Star Wars: The Fashion Movie! Her braided hairstyle, apart from the famous film icon, reminds me of the Tokyo Twilight Poppy. She has the Spicy in Spain screening. Do you remember the Style Lab 2018 convention collection? It was named Miss behave and had a build-a-doll Poppy Parker doll as gift if you had all the collection bought (her pieces were hidden inside the other doll/outfit boxes). Her outfit is very 60s era space age looks, like the ones made by Courrèges and Cardin.

Item # 88086

Raven

Tate Tanaka™ Dressed Fashion Figure

The Tulabelle True & Co.™ Collection

Stilettos Out: An Integrity Toys Fashion Thriller

Convention Collection

Edition Size: 600

Head Sculpt: Tate

Body Type: Homme 1.5

Skin Tone: Cream

Hair Color: Fire Red

Designed By David Buttry

A new version of Tate Tanaka is always good news. When I first saw online photos of this guy from the convention (the prototype doll displayed there), I was instantly smitten. After a while though I noticed two things that made me go hmmm - his bland screening and his huge forehead. When you name a character Raven, you should go that little bit towards the goth connotations, no? Some eyeliner, a stronger brow. The suit is kind of tame, if you take out the boots and leather cummerbund, but I like its texture, like a deconstructed tweed.

Item # 73061

Agent Sugar North

Constance Madssen® Dressed Doll

The East 59th® Collection

Stilettos Out: An Integrity Toys Fashion Thriller

Convention Collection

Edition Size: 600

Head Sculpt: Constance

Body Type: E59 1.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: Japan

Hair Color: Honey Blonde

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

Designed By Chris Stoeckel

A lovely version of Constance, that somehow does not pass muster for a spy, even though she is holding a retro-futuristic gun and a finger cigarette holder. She’s more like a film noir heroine, who just murdered her cheating husband and is waiting for the sleuth protagonist to show up. I love the light blue stones of her jewellery set.

Item # 91561

Ritorno Alla Vita

Elyse Jolie™ as Elisa Bianchi™ Dressed Doll

The Fashion Royalty® Collection

Stilettos Out: An Integrity Toys Fashion Thriller

Salesroom Exclusive

Edition Size: 550

Head Sculpt: Elyse

Body Type: FR 6.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: Cream

Hair Color: Sandy Blonde Mix

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

Designed By Alain Tremblay

Who is the mysterious character embodied by Elyse? Do not google it, you’re in for a great laugh (or not, depending on your situation). Don;t they google the perspective names of characters before they trademark them? LOL. Anyway, she’s a gorgeous doll, with an amazing gown and quite an original screening for Elyse. it shows what you can do if you step, even just a bit, out of the so-called box. Great work Alain (he designed Imogen too). Having said that, she has very minimal accessories - and why aren’t the shoes photographed with the rest of them? She needed at least a bracelet and a ring.

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.

Item # 88084

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.

Item # 88073

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.

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.

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;

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).

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.
