The new Meteor collection is a collaboration: Integrity Toys x Jason Kramer Designs!

Through a video presentation, Integrity Toys and the W Club unveiled a brand new Integrity Toys X Jason Kramer Designs collaboration. We knew that we would be seeing such a collaboration for this line soon, but now with which designer it would be. it was a welcome surprise as Jason is not only a great person but a very talented designer as well - we have already seen his work before on IT releases, one of them recently for Poppy Parker. For those who just discovered Jason, here is a brief bio:

Jason Kramer is a freelance costume designer and illustrator, living in Ashland, Oregon. He's been collecting and designing for fashion dolls since 2002. His favorite designers include Alexander McQueen, Valentino, and Jean-Paul Gaultier, among others.

The four dolls (two of them combined into a gift set) will be sold through a W Club lottery. Judging by the reactions during the presentation and social media, there will not be any left!

The Story:

With the album launch fast approaching, the Meteor was transformed into a vibrant celebration zone, thanks to its resident mixologist, Navia Phan. A master of her craft and Taliyah Harper's closest friend, Navia had created a dazzling array of cocktails that were as eclectic and captivating as the world beats on Taliyah’s new album. Each drink was an artistic triumph—infused with exotic flavors and garnished with imaginative touches that perfectly captured the spirit of the music.

But Navia’s magic didn’t stop at the bar. As the heartbeat of the party, she orchestrated an atmosphere of electrifying excitement and unrestrained joy. Her energy was contagious, ensuring that every guest felt the pulse of the night’s rhythm. With her flair and creativity setting the scene, the launch party was not just an event but a thrilling spectacle—a night where Taliyah’s music and Navia’s concoctions blended into an unforgettable celebration that would be remembered for years to come.

Included:

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

• Sexy red mini-dress with front cut-out and oversized removable back bow detail;

I have never warmed up to Navia, no matter the styling or style she was released with. She mostly looked cartoon-y and half-finished to me - until now. Dialling the oomph factor up by 100%, Jason managed to make her sultry and fierce, without looking cartoon-y. The dress is hot (the red colour he picked is no accident) and the accessories compliment it perfectly. And that sharp geometric bob is perfection. Anna W asked for the hair stylist’s name.

Look At Her

Zuri Okoty™ Dressed Doll

Integrity Toys X Jason Kramer Designs

Edition Size: 900

Expected Ship Date: Late Fall 2024

W CLUB ONLY IT DIRECT RIGHT-TO-BUY LOTTERY

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: FR Black

Hair Color: Auburn

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

MSRP: $185 + S & H

Special W Club RTB Winner Price: $175 + 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 Zuri Okoty heard that Taliyah Harper was about to release her debut album, she jumped at the chance to host the launch party at her nightclub, the Meteor. Convincing the right people to make it a high-profile event was a breeze for Zuri, who pulled some strings to bring in key players from the music industry. As Taliyah's world beats filled the room for the first time, it was clear that Zuri's instincts were spot on. The industry’s top executives were impressed and agreed that Taliyah's music deserved heavy rotation. This endorsement meant only one thing: Taliyah's career was on the brink of soaring to new heights. And Miss Okoty couldn't have been more thrilled!

Included:

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

• Stunning custom-printed crop top with exaggerated puff sleeves and matching floor length mermaid skirt;

• Matching custom-printed head wrap;

• Adorable lip shaped purse with "gold" chain strap;

• Hot pink and teal strappy high-heeled shoes with back zipper detail;

• Golden "jeweled" chandelier earrings;

• Intricate statement collar necklace;

• Set of thin "gold" bangle bracelets;

• Set of thicker "gold" bangle bracelets;

• Set of "gold" and "emerald" bracelets;

• Studded "gold" bracelet with "emerald" bauble;

• "Gold" cuff bracelet;

• Pair of long-manicure hands;

• Alternate pair of hands;

• Doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

Zuri is probably my favourite sculpt of the Meteor line and especially when they paint her with a gap tooth - which here she has again. Add to that the distinctly inspired by her African roots look and you get a winner. What a fantastic doll. The sheer amount of jewellery makes her a moving target! Can you not love the lip-shaped bag? Dali’s surrealist Mae West sofa and Lulu Guiness’ clutch came instantly to mind.

The Story:

Stylist Keiron Morel beamed with pride as he walked the red carpet with his dear friend Taliyah Harper on the night of her highly anticipated album launch. Her debut, simply titled Taliyah, was a masterful blend of world beats designed to accentuate her irresistibly sultry vocals.

The evening was a resounding success, thanks to the impeccable planning by Zuri Okoty and her team at the Meteor. The event’s flawless execution, combined with the enthusiastic praise from industry heavyweights, promised a bright future for Taliyah’s career.

From Taliyah’s stunning look to the mesmerizing music and the glamour of every guest, the night was a visual and auditory feast. The press couldn’t get enough of the spectacle, and the buzz surrounding the event ensured it would be remembered for years to come.

Included:

• One 12.5-inch articulated doll with rooted hair and hand applied eyelashes and one 12.5-inch articulated fashion figure with rooted and flocked hair;

• Black "fur" wrap;

• Black gauntlets;

• Knee-high black "patent leather" engineer boots;

• "Silver" chain brooch with cloisonné details;

• "Silver" ear cuff;

• Tablet accessory;

• Alternate pair of black gloved grip "Homme" hands;

• Pair of long-manicure hands;

• Certificate of authenticity.

Isn’t this a fabulous pair? A star and her stylist.I’m not a big fan of salmon pink - too many bad 80s memories - but Jason has managed to make it work here, combined with her aquamarine accessories and jewellery. As for the doll, Taliya here reminds me a bit of the Italian diva Mina in her youth (check the Balenicaga-Mina collab coming up). Kieron is fierce - both the doll and the outfit are out of this world. Maybe I would have done his eyes a bit more smokey, to enhance his look. Absolute perfection.

Check out the video of the rotating dolls below. Did you manage to get any of the dolls?

Curated: the first in-person event from Integrity toys since 2019!

"Curated" is the first exclusive in-person unveiling event hosted by Integrity Toys since the pandemic begun (and the last in person convention in 2019). It was held on the 14th of July in Washington DC. Attendees got to view the event collection displayed in a gallery setting, each doll in her own cabinet like an exhibit. Then, after the gallery viewing, at a nearby second location, the attendees got to shop, grab a bite and drink, and mingle together. There is no information regarding whether or not any of these items will be available for W Club members at this time, or for anyone else. There was mention of a colour variant for club members, way back when this was first announced but no mention yet even of this.

Item # 91533

Classically Surreal

Isha Kalpana Narayanan™ Dressed Doll

The Fashion Royalty® Collection

Curated: An Integrity Toys Special Event

Edition Size: 600

Head Sculpt: Isha

Body Type: FR 6.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: Sunkissed

Hair Color: Dark Brunette

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

Fashion Royalty had two dolls - and Isha makes a welcome return. She is wearing a gorgeous white dress with gold embellished denim inserts at the front and faux buttonholes. Looks inspired by this Spring 2022 RTW Schiaparelli jacket and this dress from the Spring 2022 Couture collection. She is sporting a head band with bunny ears (very 40s style and also reminds me of Josephine Baker - it is from Schiaparelli Fall 2021 Couture collection). Her other accessories are golden gloves, a white bag with golden embroidered decorations matching the dress, lovely white shoes with gold straps, and golden jewellery - love the eye bracelet, very Schiaparelli and also very Greek. She also wears fishnet stockings, in keeping with the retro 40s overall vibe. She is the souvenir doll of the event, given to all attendees as part of their ticket admission price.

Mixed Media

Thiago Valente™ Fashion Figure

The NU. Face™ Collection

Curated: An Integrity Toys Special Event

Edition Size: 600

Head Sculpt: Thiago

Body Type: Homme 1.5

Foot Sculpt: Flat Foot

Skin Tone: Light Honey

Hair Color: Brunette

Second appearance for Tiago - and a boy for NU Face instead of a lady - but don’t forget we had a small NU Face Moments unveiling very recently, so it figures. I think Jessy totally need to wear this outfit in real life. The rose covered coat has been done before by IT, but this one is transparent and in a light colour. The shirt looks like it is trying to be Jacquemus but looks too stiff. I never liked the underwear band showing over the pants and this one is no exception, whether it is real or faux. Love the colouring, the rest not that much. And the bag looks cheap compared to the rest of the outfit, Coperni miniature or not.

Item # 46031

Behind The Curtain

Zuri Okoty™ Dressed Doll

The Meteor™ Collection

Curated: An Integrity Toys Special Event

Edition Size: 600

Head Sculpt: Zuri Okoty

Body Type: Meteor 1.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: A-Tone

Hair Color: Raven

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

Meteor is represented by Zuri and she looks amazing. Not crazy about the hairstyle (I always find these thick braids a bit lazy) but the rest of her rocks - doll and outfit, Love that she has lots of options to style and dress, from her mini outfit to the big ball gown. The pattern is very 80s and it would have looked even better had the scale been a little larger. Just like Steven Sprouse did it. Love her.

Item # 77236

Silver Cloud

Poppy Parker® Dressed Doll

The Poppy Parker® Collection

Curated: An Integrity Toys Special Event

Edition Size: 600

Head Sculpt: Poppy Parker

Body Type: PP 1.5

Foot Sculpt: Articulated Flat Feet

Skin Tone: Japan

Hair Color: Silver Ash

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

Poppy is definitely inspired by Edie Sedgwick - she was an Andy Warhol muse and vibes well with the Curated concept - more so than all the other dolls. Good to see a short haired Poppy that does not look like Twiggy, Love the ‘This is Art” bag.

Item # 91531

Modern Renaissance

Binna Park™ Dressed Doll

The Fashion Royalty® Collection

Curated: An Integrity Toys Special Event

Edition Size: 600

Head Sculpt: Binna/Ayumi 2.0 (New Character!)

Body Type: FR 6.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: Japan

Hair Color: Platinum Blonde

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

For me this is the star of the collection/event. Finally the Ayumi 2.0 sculpt makes a comeback and she is gorgeous. Perfect hairstyle and make up complement the beautiful face - which here looks quite like her current incarnation. The gown is Schaparelli inspired, mainly from this Spring 2022 RTW gown, with the colouring picked off this Fall 2021 Couture gown. Breathtaking. Look at the accessories - those gold band bracelets are everything. And the gold dipped fingers and silver nails is so Schiaparelli too. Want her - I hope we get this one as a colour variation in the W Club, the original gown is pink and black, so one can hope.

The end of Dolly Days 2021 brought a variety of offerings: a Monarch, a Meteor and lots of hair

Dolly-Days Day 5 was the last day of the “unofficial” event of Integrity Toys (delayed this time from December to January). A day with offerings by designer Vaughn Sawyers that included a guy from the Monarchs Homme line plus a lady from the Meteor line, along with some accessories. They are all made-to-order* (up to one of each style per membership) for W Club members. They are extra from the five 2021 W Club exclusive dolls, so this means we are still waiting for our fifth club exclusive (either a NU Face or a Fashion Royalty doll).

Item # 21028

Sound Individual

Romain Perrin™ Dressed Fashion Figure

The Monarchs Homme™ Collection

Edition Size: TBD

Expected Ship Date: Late Summer 2022

Retail Price: $175.00

(Only $30.00 Due Now to Pre-order!)

Head Sculpt: Romain

Body Type: Homme 1.5

Foot Sculpt: Articulated Ankle

Skin Tone: Sunkissed

Hair Color: Darkest Brown

Eyelashes: No

Quickswitch: No

Included:

12.5-inch articulated fashion figure with a mix of rooted and flocked hair;

Designer trench coat with houndstooth trim accents;

Hand-distressed grey denim jeans;

Forest green long-sleeved zip hoodie;

Faux vintage band t-shirt;

Chelsea boots;

Wireless headphone accessory;

Chainlink timepiece;

"Pink Flash" double record accessory with custom marble effect records;

"Maxwell Mann" record accessory with special chrome finish record;

Pair of regular FR Homme style hands;

Alternate pair of male hands;

Doll stand;

Certificate of authenticity.

Romain makes an appearance in Dolly Days - it’s been a while since we last saw a Monarch (was it the twins?) and he certainly looks a bit downtrodden for a much vaunted financier. He’s not even wearing Off White or Louis Vuitton. He’s too plain dressed to pass off as a Monarch and at that price range - Club Lukas was $5.00 more expensive but was wearing tailored clothes (two sets of them) plus more extravagant shoes and bag. I’m not convinced I should pay so much for a sorry pair of jeans and a hoodie.

The coat alone is not making the cut - Integrity has released much better overcoats (Bellamy Blue anyone?). A couple of records and a pair of headphones don’t sugarcoat this bitter pill I’m afraid. This could have looked so much better if the coat was in a different colour (silver or white?) with more groovy pants (degrade jeans? how soccer mom), a trendy pair of trainers, the hoodie with a nice print at the back and a logo-ed t-shirt. When you brand a guy doll (enough with this figure nonsense, it’s 2022) a Monarch, he should have to show more (he does not even have the Monarch body) to justify the name and the price tag. Just sayin’.

Item # 46023

My Hair Fair

Zuri Okoty™ Dressed Doll

The Meteor™ Collection

Edition Size: TBD

Expected Ship Date: Late Summer 2022

Retail Price: $160.00

(Only $30.00 Due Now to Pre-order!)

Head Sculpt: Zuri Okoty

Body Type: Meteor 1.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: Light Honey

Hair Color: Blond Flocked Hair and Two-toned Blond Wig

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

Quickswitch: No

Included:

12.5-inch articulated doll with velvet flocked hair and hand-applied eyelashes;

Signature style fitted cocktail dress with intricate laced-up eyelet detailing;

Ribbon-tie pumps, with golden spike and "jeweled" accents;

Chain choker necklace with golden spike details;

"Stone" encrusted spike earrings;

Cuff bracelet;

Two rings;

Middle-parted, pale blond waist-length wig with airbrushed dark ombré accent at the part;

Pair of long-manicured hands;

Alternate pair of long-manicured "strike a pose" hands;

Alternate pair of long-manicured "grip" hands;

Doll stand;

Certificate of authenticity.

I love Zuri Okoty and this incarnation could very well be her best so far. And yes. the tooth gap has returned and I can finally own her with it! Plus the cropped. almost white hair is a favourite style to see on a black doll (Kith Barbie I am looking at you) and this looks so good. Hair face is gorgeous and the idea with the wig is very welcome - I don’t think we have seen Integrity doing wigs since the first Monogram collection and, further back, the Modern Pompadour line. That Fashion Royalty line was the one that made me fall in love with these dolls and it featured four ladies with wigs as basic dolls (each wearing corseted lingerie). Belle Du Soir Kyori was my first IT doll ever. And I have all dolls from that collection except basic Vero. So I am very excited to see wigs coming back.

The only problem with this doll is where the inspiration from the dress is coming from. it is almost an exact copy of a Dolce & Gabbana outfit from 2018. The problem is, this designer duo are known to be racist (the major China incident almost cost them their fortune), homophobes (even though they are gay, they oppose gay marriage and gay parenthood). Not to mention their tax dodging scandals. I’d appreciate it if Integrity Toys did a bit of research before copying such people. Your company name is Integrity after all. And I am certain that there are so many other designers out there to be inspired from.

Item # 46028

Good Hair Wig Pack

Edition Size: TBD

Expected Ship Date: Late Summer 2022

Retail Price: $75.00

(Only $15.00 Due Now to Pre-order!)

Designed to Fit Meteor Dolls

*WIG PACK ONLY INCLUDES 3 WIGS LISTED BELOW; OTHER WIG PACK AND DOLL SOLD SEPARATELY.

Included:

One pixie length vibrant red wig;

One waist-length brunette curly wig;

One thigh-length blond micro-braided wig.

The first wig pack that comes today has three different styles: a short red one (that’s not a pixie cut though, pixie is a much shorter style, like Audrey Hepburn for example, or Jean Seaberg, or Twiggy), a micro braid one and a long curly one. I have a short black wig from Monique’s that’s styled exactly like the red one.

I also have an afro wig from my Urban Antoinette Adele Makeda, which I like better than those unruly curls, so I am not getting the pack just for the micro braid one - which looks to be two-toned. The red one on Zuri reminded me of Mary J. Blige. I noticed that while on the specifications they write that the wigs fit Meteor dolls, in the “storyline” for each set they mention that the wigs are designed to fir most 12” dolls. Go figure.

Item # 46029

This Hair Is Mine Wig Pack

Edition Size: TBD

Expected Ship Date: Late Summer 2022

Retail Price: $75.00

(Only $15.00 Due Now to Pre-order!)

Designed to Fit Meteor Dolls

*WIG PACK ONLY INCLUDES 3 WIGS LISTED BELOW; OTHER WIG PACK AND DOLL SOLD SEPARATELY.

Included:

One shoulder-length aqua wig with ombré shading at the middle part;

One waist-length two-toned (brown with black underneath) wig with bangs;

One buttocks-length sable wavy wig.

The brown wig with the bangs looks a lot like the wig of my Belle Du Soir Kyori Sato, so that’s one I already have. The sable one does not look very well styled, so that leaves only the aqua blue one - not getting the pack for just one wig. I don’t know why but Zuri in the photo with the aqua wig reminds me of Khandi Alexander.

The Meteor club has a Roaring 20s remix moment

Last week w club members received an email about the unveiling of new dolls - and this past weekend we indeed had it - albeit without a live presentation. A new Meteor collection was revealed, with three dolls, two of them sold by dealers and one that will be available through lottery for the right to buy. This time the inspiration is the “decadent” 20s, with the clothes and styling inspired by that glamorous decade. Having already had a previous Meteor collection done with a retro inspiration again (the 70s, which I must remind you, were very much influenced by the 20s in fashion, at least in the first half of the decade), it is a bit jarring to still cling to the past for inspiration, especially when the first Meteor collection proved that contemporary fashion is its strong point (and Vaughn’s best). With the fashion buzz around emerging black designers stronger than ever, and their fashions making waves across the media, social or not, it is a pity that we do not get current trends but instead rehashes of past decades, no matter if they’re beautiful or not. Please give us some inspirations from Peter Do, Christopher John Rogers and Pyer Moss, with some Zerina Akers styling next time.

I still don’t like Navia’s sculpt. Her face has a weird shape with a very large and angular bottom part that does not click with me. She does fit the era with this hairstyle and make up pretty well and is definitely an improvement on herfirst appearance, but I still can’t bring myself to buy her. Her dress is gorgeous though. If I can find it separately, I might get it. The veil over the hat looks weird in the photo worn by the doll, but the rest of the accessories are awesome. Should have come with a small jewelled bag though.

Easily the best doll of the collection, Zuri once again steals the spot. She reminds me so much of the Dior Haute Couture 1997 collection, both dress and doll styling, that I could not resist in the end and pre-ordered her. I love Zuri anyway and especially when she’s painted with her tooth gap, so she’s a winner overall. Her hair colour with the afro that is styled at the front like 20s “vagues” (french for waves) is really impressive.

Amirah looks better than ever here but the hair colour is a major deal breaker for me. It gives her a cartoon-y vibe, but it is not a Cruella one, unfortunately. She would have looked so much better in the dark colour alone. The dress gives me a cheap vibe, despite the embroidered look - it is probably the chains at the front. If she had a huge chain necklace instead, it might have looked better. Or if the dress used the fabric that Montaigne Market Elyse did. And what’s with the crowns? This one looks more fit for a Russian royal from the pre-revolution era than a 20s flapper. Gorgeous bag, shoes and jewellery though.

Integrity Toys Mini Capsule Collections 2020 reveal pt..3: Meteor - Le Chic

The third mini capsule collection revealed in Saturday’s Integrity Toys event was Meteor. Vaughn presented two gorgeous dolls - one is a new character and one was Zuri in a smashing new look. Both are available for dealers, but with the limited editions, they might sell out quickly. I’m betting this would have given us even more gorgeous dolls had Vaughn been able to make a full collection with all the line’s characters. The 70s inspiration is a great fit both to the designer’s talent and the line and it shows.

I am willing to bet that Navia’s sculpt is a failed Colette 2.0 attempt used as a new character - they are practically twins. Not loving the head shape or the print. The glasses are cute but she is missing a bag. I’m puzzled by the use of FR body instead of Nu Face, which would fit the character much better IMHO. She might be coming out but she’s definitely not coming home. The dress is almost an exact copy (boots and all) of the opening number from Fausto Puglisi’s Fall 2019 RTW collection - the print was inspired by an Ottoman carpet he picked up at Istanbul’s Grand Bazaar, as Puglisi said back then.

This is Donna Summer in doll form! When asked, Vaughn said he got inspiration for other 70s singers too (the Every Woman title surely refers to the Chaka Khan song I’m Every Woman) but she looks so much like Donna with that make up and hairstyle and the open mouth, it’s uncanny. I’m happy I got confirmed for her, she’s Hot Stuff! There is a confusion about her outfit: during the presentation, Vaugh said it is one piece, but the description from IT says blouse and palazzo pants. Will update with more info when available.
