Integrity Toys 2024 convention - Stilettos Out day 1: Welcome Dinner

The Welcome Dinner takes place at the end of the first convention day and, of course, has some more dolly goodies for attendees. "Monegasque Society" Eugenia Perrin-Frost as Monica Frost, designed by Alain Tremblay, would have been the centerpiece doll, if the dolls were actually there. Instead people saw her photo as a pop-up cutout on tables. The secret mystery bonus "Build-an-Accessory" from the NU. Face Seven Style Lab that holds a clue to the convention's story line was revealed. Before the night ended, attendees found out about the next accessory set for Donna Drake's "Cryptic Cases" gift set designed by Alain Tremblay, and also discovered that "Eye Candy" Victoire Roux was their giveaway doll, designed by Chris Stoeckel. Let’s check them out.

Item # 91565

Monegasque Society

Eugenia Perrin-Frost® as Monica Frost™ Centerpiece Doll

The Fashion Royalty® Collection

Stilettos Out: An Integrity Toys Fashion Thriller

Edition Size: 550

Head Sculpt: Eugenia

Body Type: FR 6.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: Blush

Hair Color: Deep Red

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

Designed By Alain Tremblay

This Eugenia is one of the most beautiful dolls of the convention. She reminds me a lot of another Eugenia convention doll, Bittersweet from 2013. And I have the same problem with this one that I had with Bittersweet: the lipstick that does not vibe with me at all. A more natural lip would have looked much better, and kept the style as is. In any case, she is a gorgeous doll. I love the dress (finally velvet!) and the shoes are magnificent with that decorative detail. The character she’s supposed to be is her mother or mother in law.

Item # 73067

Eye Candy

Victoire Roux® Giveaway Doll

The East 59th® Collection

Stilettos Out: An Integrity Toys Fashion Thriller

Edition Size: 600

Head Sculpt: Victoire 2.0/Della

Body Type: E59 1.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: Japan

Hair Color: Platinum Blonde

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

I don’t know about you, but I definitely did not have Victoire as a showgirl in my bingo card for the convention! The doll herself is gorgeous, but the outfit is missing a material intrinsic to showgirl costumes everywhere: feathers, plumes! It looks almost half finished without them. Pity, as the doll is so beautiful. The impression is similar to the classic Bird Of Paradise Gene Marshall doll from 1997.

Item # 75033A

Cryptic Cases

Gift Set Accessory Set A

The NU. Fantasy™ Collection

Stilettos Out: An Integrity Toys Fashion Thriller

Edition Size: 600

Accessory pack designed to go into the Imogen Lennox as Donna Drake "Cryptic Cases" Welcome Doll Gift Set.

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

Designed By Alain Tremblay

A very DVF wrap dress in tie-dye fabric, part of the welcome doll gift set. Imogen looks nice in it but it is nothing to write home about. The back and necklace stand out from her accessories as well as the evidence form.

The Mysterious Build-An-Accessory was revealed during dinner, pieces of which were scattered in the Style Lab boxes. As explained when this year's Style Lab was first announced, those who purchased the entire Style Lab collection received all the components to complete this special bonus mystery accessory. Once all of the "diamond-encrusted" components are collected, they look like a weird device, once assembled. What could this mean? The plot thickens!

Integrity Toys X Sinuhe Guzman: Surrealist Gala two doll gift set

A few days ago, W Club informed us that there would be a live video presentation for a new collaboration, plus we got some photo clues. And a couple of days later, we were treated to a two-doll gift set, created exclusively by Mexican designer Sinuhe Guzman for the Integrity Toys X Sinuhe Guzman Collaboration.

If you are a long time fashion doll collector, it is impossible that you have never seen one of Sinuhe’s outfits before. His mastery of leather (vegan) and avant guard design and construction means that all his releases are highly coveted and sought after. I own two of his gorgeous ensembles and must say they look amazing on IT dolls. But who is Sinuhe? Let’s check out his bio as published by Integrity Toys.

Since Sinuhe Guzman was born in Mexico City into an artistic family that included an opera-singing mother, the love for art was always in the air. Collecting and dressing dolls started very early in his childhood as a natural way of expression.

He graduated in fashion design and merchandising, and then completed his education in Paris, studying haute couture techniques which he applied for years while dressing an exciting local clientele. However, the childhood doll bug soon bit again with even greater force, leading him to pivot his career exclusively to doll fashion design. Along the way, he won a couple of design contests at Integrity Toys conventions.

Now devoted to his international doll clientele through social media, he showcases new designs on his online store. He daydreams about dolls around the world wearing his designs and plots what they should wear next...

The Story:

Introducing a brand new collab between Integrity Toys and renowned doll artist; Sinuhe Guzman!

For years, the Latin American market has adored W Cosmetics for its quality and availability across the region. However, due to ever increasing demand and brand affection, the glamorous CEO of the iconic brand, Véronique Perrin, has decided to take the next logical step—opening the first flagship store in Latin America! What better location than Mexico City, often dubbed the "New York of the South" by digital nomads?

Headed to this vibrant destination to seize this incredible opportunity for Latin America, Véronique is accompanied by her dear sister Vanessa, widely adored and followed worldwide, to stand in as the future brand ambassador and official face of this exciting new venture. Upon learning of this impending star appearance, Vanessa promptly enlisted the help of one of her favorite Mexican fashion designers, Sinuhe Guzman, to dress them both for the launch event in Mexico City—the "Surrealist Gala". Naturally, Sinuhe was delighted to see his latest creations worn by these fantastic muses!

• Black strappy high-heels with custom sculptural "S" and "G" monogram heels;

• Vanessa's Look:

• Show stopping red deep plunge bustier, with custom-embroidered and beaded mini skirt with tulle side embellishments;

• Dramatic beaded red cape with custom embroidered design;

• Red strappy high-heels with custom sculptural "S" and "G" monogram heels;

• Additional Accessories:

• Two doll-sized smart phone accessories;

• One compact with "makeup" and mirror;

• Doll-sized "lipstick" accessory;

• Clutch purse with long black bow detail;

• One pair of skull and "pearl" earrings;

• One skull and "pearl" brooch;

• Two fox brooches;

• Two skull cuff bracelets;

• Two double finger rings;

• One choker necklace;

What an incredible gift set! And how awesome that, once again, Integrity Toys are collaborating with a very creative and amazing person, dearest Sinuhe Guzman! I must say that the price combined with the timing of delivery made me hesitate a lot upon entering the lottery, but after a day of deliberation, a very sobering check of my doll order chart (so necessary to have, thank you excel) and some talking with fellow collectors, I decided to take the plunge. Might have to sell a kidney after all.

Let’s begin with Vanessa. Despite what the email, the presentation, the reply from club liaisons to member messages and what Sinuhe says, it is my humble opinion that this is definitely the 1.0 sculpt and not 3.0. Starting with endless comparison photos in the club forum, my own eyes and, finally, the screening used on this doll, plus the videos, I can safely say she’s 1.0. Nose, lips, head size (especially width) all match the original sculpt and not the latest. The screening is the same used by many 1.0 Vanessa dolls: Ethereal Beauty, Evermore and Fame & Fortune. She looks also a lot like a blonde Night Warrior Vanessa.

UPDATE: W Club sent an email that confirmed she’s 1.0. Apparently the factory used a doll with 1.0 instead of a 3.0 head to work on the prototype and no one at Integrity Toys could tell. LOL

The outfit is really impressive with its embroidered opera coat and short mini dress underneath. The accessories remind me a lot of Pale Fire Vanessa’s ones, both in style and colours. It’s amazing and cool how Sinuhe manages to incorporate lots of Mexican influences in both doll outfits and accessories without it becoming folklore. And that egg shaped bag is awesome!

Veronique for once looks more youthful and avant guard than her younger sister, dressed in leather and fishnet! She could fit right inside Gianni Versace’s bondage collection if you change the sculls and foxes with medusa heads. The corset is fantastic and the accessories are also gorgeous (both have mobile phones), especially the shoes - same ones worn by her sister, both with SG initials incorporated in the heels. Gaga will want a pair! I love the bag that is essentially one huge bow. The screening is the one first seen on Sea-Devil Veronique from the Fairytale convention. Smashing!

You can see the dolls on a video here:

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:

The 4th W Club doll of the year is Redefined Luxury Kyori Sato!

The 4th W Club Exclusive doll of the 2023 membership year was eagerly expected by members, as we had been tipped by Carol Roth that the doll would be a love letter to collectors and be something really exquisite. And, lo and behold, it's not just a love letter to collectors, it harkens back to the legendary early Fashion Royalty gift sets and, as an added bonus, it features the highly-anticipated return of a collector favourite character: Kyori Sato returns as Redefined Luxury. Designed by Jessy Ayala, the doll comes with three different outfits plus a lingerie set and a suite of jewellery. Furthermore, it comes in a special case instead of the normal box, that is similar to the old style gift set cases. It was shown by Alain during the live presentation, but there was no relevant photo in the email.

Item # 91552

Redefined Luxury

Kyori Sato® Gift Set

The Fashion Royalty® Collection

2023 W Club Exclusive Doll

Edition Size: TBD

Expected Ship Date: Approximately Summer 2024

Head Sculpt: Kyori Sato 1.0

Body Type: FR 6.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: Blush

Hair Color: Dark Brunette

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

MSRP: $350 + S & H

Special W Club Price*: $299 + S & H

Sales method: These dolls are guaranteed made-to-order for 2023 W Club members only- 1 per membership.

($75.00 NRD deposit due now, $224.00 + S & H due in approximately Summer 2024)

The Story:

The ever-elusive Kyori was spotted by fans in Tokyo after months of being out of the spotlight of the Parisian social scene. She was reportedly seen going into private meetings with some of the most prestigious jewelry houses in Ginza. While speculation ran wild about what she was up to, little did everyone know, she was just doing some last minute bauble shopping before making her grand return to Paris (and... maybe sprinkling in a little rendezvous with a mystery person before she came back)!

Included In This Ultra-Luxurious Gift Set:

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

• Chic black tweed skirt with thigh-slit and safety pin detailing, matching black tweed jacket with cuff and collar detailing and sleeveless plunging blouse;

• Luxe houndstooth statement coat with lace-up back detail;

• Removable black belt with golden buckle;

• Bra and panty set with lace trim and bow detail;

• Separate beige corset teddy with glamorous sheer polka-dotted gathered over-dress;

• Black purse with golden chain;

• Thigh-high black boots with intricate golden heel;

• Black pumps with statement heels and bow detail;

• Black sunglasses;

• Golden and "pearl" jewelry set comprised of long necklace and ring;

• Golden and black cuff bracelet with "pearl" accent;

• "Silver" jewelry set comprised of matching thick necklace, drop earrings, shorter earrings, ring and brooch;

• Ring box and necklace box;

• Pair of long-manicure hands;

• Alternate pair of grip hands;

• Luxury gift set packaging with carry handle;

• Doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

To say that she’s a jaw-dropping doll would be an understatement! If all the people watching the online live presentation were in the same room at the moment of unveiling, there would have been heard a collective gasp. What a great way to not only bring Kyori 1.0 sculpt back, but also give an exquisite doll to W Club members. I’m partial to this sculpt of the character versus the newer version, so it is an added joy to have this doll offered. Her face screening was based on the A Brighter Side Kyori screening (she was a FAO Schwartz exclusive in 2007) and her hairstyle looks to me as a more refined version of Bueno Sera Kyori’s. Jessy characterised it as “old money” hair, but the truth is that bobbed hair cuts are all the rage lately.

The rest of the gift set is a lift off the legendary Ginza Kyori Sato gift set, which came in a case much like the one this set will come in and had four look plus the lingerie set. It follows the colouring and vaguely the styling but it is not a direct copy with different colours, which for me is an added bonus. I find the fashions in this set much better than the old ones. The outfits are redefined luxury galore: the gown and coat are both from Schiaparelli, from the Fall 2023 and Spring 2023 Haute Couture collections respectively. The gown can have the top styled it two different ways, with the netting up or down, which is awesome. The coat would have looked better quilted (and the fastening at the back looked more prominent), but it is visually striking as is. The suit is almost a hybrid: the jacket is definitely Gaultier Haute Couture Spring 2023, designed by Haider Ackermann, while the skirt looks a bit like the style done by Versace for Anne Hathaway’s gown at the Met Gala in 2023, as a homage to Karl Lagerfeld. It looks amazing. The lingerie set could be missing and I would not bat an eyelid, but the jewellery is magnificent and some of the pieces are in gorgeous jewellery cases. The Chanel style bag is beautiful but there’s no clutch for the gown. Love the boots and pumps.

The price is quite steep (the original Ginza gift sets were $220 back in 2004 and were limited to 500 for the blonde and 100 for the redhead dolls), but you get lots of great stuff for it, and a gorgeous doll to boot. I am curious to see how many order her, as the praise has been almost unanimous.

When In Paris Poppy Parker is the 3rd W Club doll of 2023!

The 3rd W Club Exclusive doll of the 2023 membership year was revealed just before Christmas. It is a mini gift set reminiscent of early Poppy Parker dolls and there's an extra-long pre-order window to accommodate the holiday season, as Integrity Toys will be closed until after New Year’s. IT designer David Buttry brings us Poppy Parker as a young ingenue returning for an important ad campaign in Paris.

Watch the presentation below and enjoy how they tip-toe around the inspiration of the doll because of licensing:

The Story:

Poppy Parker returns to the City of Light, but this time, it’s for the Noir Cosmetics ad campaign, to unveil a brand new companion makeup line for their iconic “When in Paris” fragrance!

Feeling light and carefree on the way to the photo shoot, Poppy grabbed her favourite dotted trench and wore it over a very chic, sleek black turtleneck and cropped trousers combo, which of course landed her on the pages of all the top French fashion magazines, making her fans scramble to copy the look!

Once she finally got to the studio, there was a lot of back and forth regarding the perfect gown she would wear in the ads, but everyone soon agreed that only Poppy’s friend Monsieur Mignon, her "go to" couturier, could pull this off! Monsieur was thrilled to recreate one of her most coveted dresses in black while adding some delicate embellishments, making the gown even more special for his favourite client! It was just what the Noir campaign needed, and the perfect look for Poppy to cast her charms on her French fans for the second time. When in Paris, indeed!

Included:

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

• Slim black trousers and matching black turtle neck;

• Multi-colored polka-dotted trench coat;

• Elegant black evening gown with hand-beaded bodice and layered glittery tulle skirt;

• Black satin shoulder wrap;

• Multi-colored polka-dotted handbag;

• Oversized black sunglasses;

• Golden jewelry set comprised of stud earrings, drop earrings, bracelet, and ring;

• Perfume bottle accessory;

• Lipstick accessory;

• Compact accessory;

• Black pumps for high-heeled feet (included);

• Black flats for articulated ankle feet (included);

• Pair of long-manicure hands;

• Pair of alternate gloved hands (with separate opera-length gauntlets);

• Doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

She’s a recoloured version of Friend or Foe Poppy Parker, from the gift set when Ginger made her first appearance, which was back in December 2019 - so it is another Moment for Poppy. I like the dress better in black, it makes it surely more Parisian and more sophisticated, but, as you see in the photo below and will not hear or read about it anywhere from Integrity Toys…

…the doll is a double throwback: she’s got the screening of the Audrey Hepburn Sabrina dolls, which I mostly have - and they look so much better than she does, mainly because of the hairstyle and the red lipstick. The photo above mimics an Audrey classic from Breakfast At Tiffany’s, which was remade by Steven Meisel with Christy Turlington. If I did not have any of those dolls, I’d grab this one right away. Not now though. The black beatnik outfit is a typical Audrey look from both Sabrina (IT released a version there in the Most Sophisticated gift set) and Funny Face (which looks more like this one). The make up and perfume accessories have been seen before many times.

See a video with the doll spinning around - are you getting her?
