Integrity Toys 2024 convention - Stilettos Out day 1: Nu Face Seven Style Lab

As mentioned in the previous post, the Souvenir Shop of the Stilettos Out convention also had the Style Lab dolls, which were all NU Face this year. As per the Integrity Toys email:

For this year’s NU. Face Seven Style Lab, it was a NU. Face fan's fantasy come to life as IT designer extraordinaire Jessy Ayala invited convention attendees to take part in the ultimate heist! What if the NU. Face Agency’s elite team of models had been hired to mastermind and conduct a top-secret mission to obtain the complicated components of a highly advanced device laced with diamonds, working for a mysterious client they had never met in person? In this exciting adventure tale, your favourite NU. Face models got to wear fabulous clothes and take part in the most covert scheme they’ve ever undertaken together!

Prototypes of each doll/fashion figure and each outfit were displayed for all attendees to view and help them purchase the ones they wanted, since the actual dolls they were buying had not arrived. Each doll in the Style Lab is always sold nude; outfits are sold separately.- but from what I read on social media, you had to buy one outfit for each nude doll you got. Total price was $150.00 for a doll and an outfit together: $65 per doll and $85 per outfit. Still no mention anywhere of what had happened, no admission of any fault or mistake, no apology.Which I am guessing was advised by their legal representative as a way to avoid complications. Still, it sucks.

There was a Special Bonus Build-A-Doll thing incorporated into the Style Lab this year, just like in 2018. Each doll and each outfit included a bonus "build-a-doll" component that allowed purchasers to put together an additional, complete NU. Face dressed doll when the entire collection is purchased. That was Violaine, who you can see further below in this article.

Edition Size: 600

Designed to fit FR Homme 1.5 and similar 12-inch/1:6 scale fashion figures.

Designed By Jessy Ayala

Lukas looks edgy as always, ready to hit the town. I can’t say I am thrilled with the silver flocked hair - I’d rather have it pale blonde or white instead. It takes a blueish tone that does not look that good to me. His suit is probably inspired by McQueen - cut out suits have been shown on men and women in the brand’s collections fairly recently.The high heel ruins the look for me - it gives of summer lover sleaziness.

Designed to fit NF 3.0 and similar 12-inch/1:6 scale fashion dolls.

Designed By Jessy Ayala

Erin looks gorgeous in this version, especially with her honey ginger hair. She has the screening of Your Motivation Erin but modified. The dress print echoes the coat of When In Paris Poppy. Love the shoes and choker necklace.Her whole styling gives me strong Blanche Epiphanie vibes - she was the heroine of a french comic series.

Stilettos Out: An Integrity Toys Fashion Thriller

Edition Size: 600

Designed to fit NF 3.0 and similar 12-inch/1:6 scale fashion dolls.

Designed By Jessy Ayala

Nadja is a mishmash of the Enchantress and Out Of Sight Nadja dolls, which means she’s becoming really popular to collectors! I’m not that keen on the blueish eye-shadow though. The outfight is a glamorous extravaganza that elevates the whole set (if you bought them together) into perfection! Just imagine how enthusiastically would club members have accepted Adrenaline Rush Dominique if she was wearing something like that. Brilliant style and execution Jessy!

The NU. Face® Style Lab Collection

Stilettos Out: An Integrity Toys Fashion Thriller

Edition Size: 600

Designed to fit NF 3.0 and similar 12-inch/1:6 scale fashion dolls.

Designed By Jessy Ayala

The original Colette (and Nadja) sculpt returns with a sultry look - have we seen her so sexy and seductive before? The outfit is country and western glam, with lots of people commenting that it was inspired by Beyoncé and her Cowboy Carter looks. But the first of those looks were released on February (for the two singles) of this year and I do not think they had the time to design, approve and make the doll so fast. Or could they?

Item # 82182

No. 5

Stilettos Out: An Integrity Toys Fashion Thriller

The NU. Face® Style Lab Collection

Stilettos Out: An Integrity Toys Fashion Thriller

Edition Size: 600

Designed to fit NF 3.0 and similar 12-inch/1:6 scale fashion dolls.

Designed By Jessy Ayala

Ayumi is cute - but I would have preferred a fierce Ayumi. Her hair makes her look like another version of Hauntingly Lovely Ayumi and she even has the same colours in her screening - but side by side they look different.I love her dress, it could have fit with the Reckless collection styled with different items. Which says it all about this outfit.

The NU. Face® Style Lab Collection

Stilettos Out: An Integrity Toys Fashion Thriller

Edition Size: 600

Designed to fit FR Homme 1.5 and similar 12-inch/1:6 scale fashion figures.

Designed By Jessy Ayala

Thiago must be the winner of the popularity contest in the Style Lab dolls, judging by the reactions of everyone online. He’s a gorgeous doll and looks amazing with or without his sporty outfit. From that I love the boots and high socks, gloves and bag. Can we stop it with the convertible pants already? It has been overused, abused maybe.

Item # 82184

No. 7

Rayna Ahmadi™ Nude Doll

The NU. Face® Style Lab Collection

Stilettos Out: An Integrity Toys Fashion Thriller

Edition Size: 600

The NU. Face® Style Lab Collection

Stilettos Out: An Integrity Toys Fashion Thriller

Edition Size: 600

Designed to fit NF 3.0 and similar 12-inch/1:6 scale fashion dolls.

Designed By Jessy Ayala

Rayna goes mod! With this style she could be a friend of Poppy’s! She does remind me a bit of Silver Cloud Poppy - maybe it’s the Edie Sedgwick look they both share. Love the bag.Her screening is the same as Eye Candy Rayna’s.

So who is the mysterious Build-A-Doll? Those who purchased the entire Style Lab collection received all the components to complete a special bonus mystery dressed doll. Once all of the components are collected and put together, attendees will have the "Criminal Kitty" Violaine Perrin dressed doll. There was also a build-an-accessory item, from “diamond” encrusted pieces also included with every box. What it is? The mystery thickens…

Item # 82183B

Criminal Kitty

Violaine Perrin™ Build-A-Doll

The NU. Face® Style Lab Collection

Stilettos Out: An Integrity Toys Fashion Thriller

Edition Size: 600

Head Sculpt: Violaine/Vanessa 2.0

Body Type: NF 3.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: Japan

Hair Color: Garnet Red

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

Designed By Jessy Ayala

What a gorgeous Violaine doll! I love her burgundy hair contrasting her pale skin, her smoky eyes and pale lip combination. Her overall styling is, as shown by her Criminal Kitty name, inspired by Catwoman, especially the Julie Newmar version. I love her lace bodysuit and satin wrap mini skirt. Her arm bag is of course Dolly by Balenciaga.

The Story:

Bathed in the luminescent glow of the underwater city, Violaine, the glamorous French mermaid with artfully tattooed scales and a flowing mane of pearlescent hair, captivated the ocean’s depths. Known for her enchanting voice that echoed through coral reefs, she held court among vibrant marine life. Violaine’s tales of hidden treasures and sunken ships spread far and wide, attracting admirers from distant oceans. One moonlit night, as she danced beneath the waves, a lone sailor, drawn by the melody of her song, discovered the mythical beauty, forever entwining their destinies in the depths of the sea. Designed by Jessy Ayala.

Included In This Gift Set:

• 12.5-inch articulated doll with rooted hair, painted top eyelashes and non-removable "belly ring" detail;

• Custom-made "gold" bra-top with chain straps and "pearl" embellished design and ethereally elaborate custom-designed and printed mermaid tail (designed to fit with flat feet pointed all the way downward, included);

• Separate aquamarine column, calf-length plissè skirt with cascade ruffle detail;

• Sea foam sequined bra top with criss-cross strap and starfish detailing and separate sequined mini-skirt embellished with an elaborate "marabou" feather train;

• Two removable custom-made mermaid "ear fins" (one for each side of her head, attached via each ear) with "gold" shell and hanging "pearl" embellishments;

• "Gold" and "pearl" belly chain;

• Functional seashell clutch with magnetic closure;

• "Gold" cuff bracelet;

• Charm bracelet;

• Starfish earrings;

• "Gold" ring with "pearl" deco;

• Thigh-high golden boots (designed to fit high-heeled feet lower legs, included);

• Aquamarine high-heels with "pearl" embellished straps;

• Pair of long-manicure hands;

• Alternate pair of grip hands;

• New! Seashell base doll stand with two types of rods to display both the mermaid in a "floating" pose and a regular doll;

• Certificate of authenticity.

Let me start by stating that I am no big fan of mermaid dolls. The are fun to look at but to me they are too cutesy and veer too close to playline, no matter the usual design and colouring, which usually fits into stereotypes: blonde hair, blue eyes, rainbow/sea foam colours, lots of pearls, long wavy hair. Unfortunately this one checks all stereotypes.Bering Greek, and Generation X, I grew up with mermaids (Sirens) being ancient Greek mythical creatures that lured sailors to their death with their irresistible song. The only alternative to that was Alexander the Great’s sister, who roamed the seas, asking ships if her brother was alive. If sialors replied no, she sunk the ship, if yes, she was happy to let them go. So mermaids were demonic creatures that brought despair and destruction to ships, not the cute ladies we keep seeing nowadays. Disney definitely had a lot to do with this transformation, as even the original Little Mermaid tale by Hans-Christian Andersen is quite different from the cartoon/real life remakes that studio has done. 

As you can tell from the previous paragraph, I was not awed by the last W Club doll of 2023. My collection veers towards fashion, even when the actual doll is based on real or fantastic persons/characters, and the only mermaid I have in it was a gift from the office secret Santa. 

Violaine is a beautiful doll, no doubt about that, ans I am really happy for those of you who waited years for such a doll to appear in Nu Fantasy. I would have preferred a more fashion styled doll like the OOAK Siren Rayna that Jessy had done for the Fashion Fairytale convention in 2017. That one used the theme as a base to create an incredibly gorgeous doll with a more avantguard look and feel. Violaine has lovely make up but not something unusual, apart from not having applied eyelashes, as Jessy did not find the suitable shade of blue he wanted to match his concept - and I totally understand that. Her hair looks like iridescent noodles to me, I’d have liked something more like the OOAK Rayna mentioned before.

Her non-mermaid fashions are based on a Versace Spring-Summer 2022 skirt (the sort ruffled one) and a David Koma Spring-Summer 2023 ensemble (starfish bra and short skirt with feather marabou train). The mermaid bra is inspired by old chandeliers, like the ones one could find in an old grand ship wreckage like the Titanic. She has the flat feet set to wear the iridescent mermaid tail and the high heeled one to wear either thigh high gold boots or pearl encrusted high heeled sandals. The mermaid ears with pearl clusters are probably the best thing about the accessories, as well as the conch shell clutch, which is functional. The stand base mimics a shell, making this look even more play-line, but has two alternatives, depending on whether you display the doll with or without the mermaid tail. Again, I am happy for all you people that wanted this doll so much, but for me it’s a hard pass.

You can see the doll in the video below:

Integrity Toys Obsession Convention 2021 Day 1: The Convention Collection and Salesroom exclusive dolls

The 2021 Convention Collection was presented to attendees on the first day. This year there were fewer dolls, mostly because of production delays but also because W Club member had asked to see more dolls outside the convention and less offered in it. There was only one Salesroom exclusive, which would be allocated by lottery. For the dolls shown below, the Poppy Parker doll is designed by David Buttry, the East 59th doll is designed by Chris Stoeckel, and the NU. Face and Fashion Royalty dolls are designed by Jessy Ayala. Each designer decided on a different obsession for his line, so we got a hodgepodge of styles, some hitting the mark, others leaving people dissatisfied. Let’s check out the offerings.

For Fashion Royalty, Jessy decided that the obsession would be military styling. This has been a constant influence with fashion designers since forever, some have even made it a constant in their offerings (see Ralph Lauren and Balmain). The concept was explained by IT as follows:

“Since the dawn of time, whether it is for a simple show of force or as a form of national pride, just about every blue-blooded "royal" and/or would-be leader of our world has been "obsessed" with their armed forces! With this collection, the ladies of Fashion Royalty are putting their own "fashionable might" on display by paying homage to military styling, as seen through their own unique fashion lens! Each dressed in military-inspired looks, featuring intricate construction details that you will immediately recognize, the unique personality of each of our favorite FR characters shines through and will make a definite impact on the ongoing story of Fashion Royalty! Designed by Jessy Ayala.”

Natalia Fatalé™ Dressed Doll

The 2021 Integrity Toys Convention: Obsession

Fashion Royalty® Convention Collection

Edition Size: 1300

Special Convention Price: $180.00

*Only for Main Convention Package Holders*

Head Sculpt: Natalia 2.0

Body Type: FR 6.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: Light Honey

Hair Color: Dark Brunette

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

Quickswitch: No

Natalia looks more like a police woman in this suit than a military officer. And that is not good, especially after all that has happened these last few years. Jessy took an Alexander McQueen staple (the two-tone tailored suit) and styled it in a way to make it look more military like. I’m not feeling it at all, even though the execution looks great - and the recreation of the small bag on the belt is perfect. What is that thing hanging from her handbag?

The doll has a gorgeous face: she is a beautiful Natalia and I might try to find her nude at some point. The straight long hair ruins all the military styling though - she needed an up do or a short crop to finish it off perfectly.

Item # 91530

Vendetta

Agnes Von Weiss® Dressed Doll

The 2021 Integrity Toys Convention: Obsession

Fashion Royalty® Convention Collection

Edition Size: 1300

Special Convention Price: $180.00

*Only for Main Convention Package Holders*

Head Sculpt: Agnes

Body Type: FR 6.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: Japan

Hair Color: Pale Blonde

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

Quickswitch: No

This Agnes reminds me a lot of Dressing The Part Agnes, the doll styling and the silhouette of the dress is very close to that doll. Despite the Vendetta moniker, she looks very sweet and kind here, the veil and the ringlets framing her face giving her a renaissance Madonna feel. If you take away the hat, there’s nothing military about her. Her screening (not colouring) is like Malibu Agnes and Head For Glamour Agnes. She looks like the child of Taylor Swift and Grace Kelly.

The dress is actually a variation on the famous Dior Bar Suit, the iconic New Look outfit. One of the photos has the doll posed just like the model in the most famous photo depicting that outfit. With the styling though, it reminded me of this Giambattista Valli look. The shoes are transparent vinyl patterned to mimic lace. The bag is like a highly geometric version of the Lady Dior bag. Are the gloves united together by the red neck scarf?

The NU. Face obsession was sports. Completely unrelated to military except that both are mainly straight male obsessions (soldiers and athletes are male gay obsessions obviously). Many designers have translated sports uniforms on the catwalk, again with a variety of success. Integrity Toys summed it up like this:

“Since the only way to stay on top of the game is to win, the ultra-fashionable modeling team of the NU. Face agency is ready to put its competitive edge to the test by showing us just how obsessed they are in their own fashionable way! Each model in this series wears a look inspired by her favorite sport or fitness activity, re-imagined in a never seen before way, from the mind of IT designer, Jessy Ayala!”

Alejandra Luna™ Dressed Doll

The 2021 Integrity Toys Convention: Obsession

NU. Face™ Convention Collection

Edition Size: 1300

Special Convention Price: $175.00

*Only for Main Convention Package Holders*

Head Sculpt: Alejandra

Body Type: NF 3.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled and Flat Foot

Skin Tone: Hungarian

Hair Color: Dark Blonde

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

Quickswitch: No

Alejandra makes her second ever appearance as a baseball bunny, with a look inspired partly by the collaboration that Jeremy Scott did with Adidas back in 2014. While the overall impression is not imminently fashion, it is kind of attractive, mainly because of Alejandra - see how a good model saves the outfit?

The doll is a recoloured version of the OG Alejandra with a ponytail. The make up is a bit harsher here, in line with her being an obsessed baseball player I guess. But the overall impression is that she’s too basic for the price. She could have been a giveaway/souvenir doll but for a convention collection one, she’s seriously under-dressed. Jessy said that the number 82 on her cap is the item number for NU Face. Nice to see they have both sets of legs, high heel and flat articulated.

En Pointe

Violaine Perrin™ Dressed Doll

The 2021 Integrity Toys Convention: Obsession

NU. Face™ Convention Collection

Edition Size: 1300

Special Convention Price: $175.00

*Only for Main Convention Package Holders*

Head Sculpt: Vanessa 2.0 / Violaine 1.0

Body Type: NF 3.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled and Articulated Ankle

Skin Tone: FR White

Hair Color: Brunette

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

Quickswitch: No

Violaine looks more like Poppy Parker than a Perrin sister in this incarnation. Many people find a similarity to Bergdorf Goodman Poppy in particular, but her Princess Leia hairstyle makes this quite impossible for me. The sport she’s supposedly obsessed with is ballet, which is a bit weird as ballet is not what one would normally think of when considering sports. Ballet is an art form, not a sport (although there are plenty of straight male humans out there that consider sports as art). So I do not find this relevant, plus the doll is so different in style from the rest of the NU Face ladies that it speaks for itself.

The outfit reminds me of what Sarah Burton did in her Fall/Winter 2020 collection for Alexander McQueen, putting harnesses over asymmetrically hemmed dresses. But also the Spring/Summer 2017 collection of Gauri and Nainika from India, who did many different iterations of the concept. I would have preferred the harness over the top (which then would have to be more tailored) for a better look and also in a contrasting colour. This total beige look, while very ballet in feel, looks very bland.

Thankfully, Poppy Parker had a more fashion-related obsession: Parisian Couture. Unfortunately, there is only one Poppy in this year’s convention collection. Here’s the company description:

“Poppy Parker gives us a glimpse at her latest look, as she is seen attending a very special soirée in Paris, celebrating her favorite French Couturier, Louis Laurent! Designed by David Buttry!”

Item # 77212

Poppy Parker® Dressed Doll

The 2021 Integrity Toys Convention: Obsession

Poppy Parker® Convention Collection

Edition Size: 1300

Special Convention Price: $160.00

*Only for Main Convention Package Holders*

Head Sculpt: Poppy Parker

Body Type: Poppy Parker

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: Japan

Hair Color: Platinum

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

Quickswitch: No

She is a lovely doll - echoing the Style Lab Get It Together doll from 2019’s convention. She has a screening seen before on Oh La La, Powder Puff and other Poppy dolls, with a different colouring. She is both soft and strong, which is nice and gives her a certain glow. People who saw the online presentation during the convention and the doll in David’s hands, said she looked even better.

The dress sort of reminds me of another 2019 convention Poppy, Young Romantic. They would look cool displayed next to each other. Since the French designer she’s obsessed with echoes Yves Saint Laurent a bit, I tried searching for a similar style in his early collections (both the Dior years and his first solo collections) but there is not much online to work with. The accessories are nothing that stands out but fit the style perfectly.

There was only on 2021 Convention Salesroom Exclusive, Victoire Roux, obsessed with Surrealist Art. that gave the opportunity to Chris Stoeckel to give her a Mugler outfit from his 1995 Fall Couture collection. Here’s Integrity Toys description:

“1950s top-model Victoire Roux channels her own personal Obsession for modern art and beauty, as she pays homage to her friend and fellow French citizen, famous surrealist visual artist Man Ray!"

Wearing an original creation by Integrity Toys designer Chris Stoeckel, this truly unique doll features a special "one-eyed" sculptural mask, which attaches to the doll's head using a special magnetized earring, which is included in the set! Fun and versatile, Victoire makes a statement wearing a long, flowing black lace floor-length evening coat, or a high-contrast, wearing her flamboyant pink jacket!”

Item # 73043

Black Ice

Victoire Roux® Dressed Doll

The 2021 Integrity Toys Convention: Obsession

The East 59th® Convention Salesroom

Edition Size: 700

Special Convention Price: $160.00

*Only for Main Convention Package Holders*

Head Sculpt: Victoire Roux 2.0

Body Type: East 59th 1.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: Japan

Hair Color: Silver

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

Quickswitch: No

She’s a winner! Easily the best doll of the convention so far, this unusual Victoire edition is a couture marvel! Her main outfit is a reversal of look 3 of the Fall/Winter Haute Couture Thierry Mugler collection (lace for the coat instead of patent leather, vinyl for the bodysuit instead of lace. There is also a magenta sculpted jacket that can be worn instead of the coat, taken from look 13 of the same Mugler collection. And there is that mask!

The doll is gorgeous too - with her silver hair and intense make up, she channels not only Simonetta Gianfelici who modelled the original outfit and was a muse to both Mugler and Claude Montana, but also the very regal and imposing Carmen Dell’ Orefice, the model that has the longest modelling career ever, from the 1950s till now. She’s totally different from any of her previous iterations.

I think it would have been better that they had her story be like she is the Carmen of her world - Victoire keeps modelling even in the modern era and she dons the outfit in a runway of our time, older but ageless. Just like Carmen. Surrealism was a hot thing in fashion a bit earlier than Victoire’s era (Elsa Schiaparelli collaborated with Salvador Dali and Jean Cocteau to create some memorable and influential stuff, and the 50s was her last decade of work), but this is so distinctly Mugler that the story falls flat. And no, she’s not channelling 60’s Catwoman extraordinaire Julie Newmar - wrong era for Victoire.

The 5th and final W Club doll is unveiled - A Fashionable Legacy Violaine Perrin!

It was only a matter of days before we got the chance to see the 5th and final W Club doll, and here she is. Integrity Toys and designer Jessy Ayala give us Violaine Perrin in a tribute to A Fashionable Life Vanessa Perrin giftset. The doll and her outfits have elements of that mythical release, without being a direct copy or revision. The set is not as rich as would be expected in that price range, even with the matching mini-carry case packaging that is similar to Sister Moguls gift set from 2016 and will have similar weight as a normal FR gift set package.

I am always a sucker for pale skin combined with raven hair and this lady is no exception, especially now that she is channeling AFL Vanessa. Remember she is not the first Nu Face to get the AFL acronym and colours- A Fabulous Life Rayna Ahmadi was first! The doll itself is perfection, I would not change a thing, except maybe give her a spit curl like her older sister. The clothes are nice in design but lack in execution - some finishes at the jacket look really bad in the photos (if that’s the look of a “raw hem” better leave altogether) and the painted visible seam effect reminds me of Mattel production practices, not Integrity Toys. For this price, these issues should be non-existent.

The jacket seems to take its initial inspiration from this Maison Margiela Fall 2020 one (designed by John Galliano) and then use the original AFL pinstripe suit combined with the original AFL red skirt with visible stitching detail. The romper underneath could be from anywhere, it just mirrors the jacket’s style. The tulle plus the polka dots are the connection between this babydoll dress with the original AFL’s gown. Neither the shoes, jewellery or luggage are remotely connected. The letter choker is a lift from the Versace Fall 2015 one, and many designers have had similarly styled chockers at one time or another. The monogrammed suitcase is a colour variation of the one Fame And Fortune Vanessa had. I am sure we have seen the orthogonal purse before as well. Would have preferred a wheeled upright cabin suitcase like the one the first Elyse had.

NU.Face Essentials: capsule collection by Integrity Toys

The second capsule collection revealed this week consists of three NU. Face close up dolls designed by Jessy Ayala. The concept is the launch of Lukas Maverick's very own underwear brand, that looks suspiciously a lot like Calvin Klein (hence the black & white photos). Each doll comes with NF branded underwear, shoes, a stand and a certificate of authenticity, enclosed in an elegant package. This collection is brought to the W Club by IT Direct with 3 members-only lotteries and special Club pricing of only $99 per doll (plus S&H). The two ladies will be available now and ship soon after the lottery ends, while Lukas will be available later this summer. The price is not bad, but it is still a basic doll. Good to see edition sizes at 900 (Dominique is 800), gives more chances to win. I’d like to get all of these.
