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!

Included:

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

• Véronique's Look:

• Black bustier top with buckle detail;

• Black car-racing inspired pants with zipper, spats and inset cut-out design;

• Dramatic black shrug jacket with exaggerated collar and cut out sleeves;

• 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;

• Black and red "egg" purse;

• Colorful hummingbird and fox headpiece;

• Colorful pair of hummingbird drop earrings;

• Colorful hummingbird necklace;

• Two flower rings;

• Two hummingbird rings;

• Two pairs of long-manicure hands;

• Two alternate pairs of grip hands;

• Two doll stands;

• Bonus! Custom designed souvenir packaging;

• Certificate of authenticity.

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 2nd 2023 W Club Exclusive doll, designed by Jessy Ayala is a Nadja Rhymes gift set. That’s not all: there is also a bonus, optional ring light accessory set that can be purchased separately, as the concept is that Nadja as a model is also an influencer, hence she uses a ring light. Cool!

Item # 82166

Get Ready With Me

Nadja Rhymes™ Gift Set

The NU. Face™ Collection

2023 W Club Exclusive Doll

Edition Size: TBD

Expected Ship Date: Approximately Spring 2024

Head Sculpt: Nadja 2.0

Body Type: NF 3.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled And Articulated Ankle

Skin Tone: Dark A-Tone

Hair Color: Dark Brunette

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

MSRP: $225 + S & H

Special W Club Price*: $199 + 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, $149.00 + S & H due in approximately Spring 2024)

The Story:

International top model and famous rich girl Nadja Rhymes loves to share every second of her life with her fans, and what better moment to do so than that special time of day when she is getting ready for her next big gig? What look will she go for today? What are her thoughts on the best makeup to wear? Her opinion matters (or so she loves to remind everyone) and while her online fans are hooked on every word she says, her many sponsors are more than happy to send her things to try on and review. This is the perfect life for a star who loves to shine bright like a diamond under a perfectly calibrated ring light! Designed by Jessy Ayala.

Included:

• 12.5-inch articulated doll with long rooted hair, hand-applied eyelashes, and faux, non-removable "belly ring" detail;

• Fierce multi-tone motorcycle jacket with contrasting silver accents;

• Long distress-finished skirt with thigh-high front slit;

• Intricate custom embroidered and beaded butterfly top with criss-cross closure in the back;

• Bright red, ultra-glam, form-fitted, semi-sheer knit dress with an asymmetrical neckline and back slit;

• Strapless bra and panty set;

• Removable vertebrae-inspired belt;

• Removable coin disc chain belt with dangling butterfly charm;

• Black handbag with buckle detail;

• Show-stopping clear handbag (non-functional);

• Ultra-moody dark red ombre sunglasses;

• Black sunglasses;

• Newly developed jewellery set, which includes earrings, 3 bracelets, and a ring;

• Black boots (designed to fit the high-heeled lower legs, included);

• Red kitten-heeled pumps (designed to fit the articulated lower legs with flat feet, included);

• Pair of long-manicured hands;

• Alternate pair of grip hands;

• Doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

One of the most beautiful Nadja dolls ever created, she is smashing! I am so glad she is a W Club doll and we do not have to go through hoops to acquire her. Every element of the doll and her outfits comes together perfectly and looks amazing and very cohesive. The black top and skirt look a lot like this Blumarine Spring/Summer 2022 ensemble - and of course we all know the original butterfly top by Ungaro, worn by Mariah Carey in the VH1 Divas 2000 tribute to Diana Ross. The red dress could either be inspired by some outfits with asymmetrical necklines in the same 2022 Blumarine collection or this year’s Spring Summer collection that features a similar asymmetrical transparent black version. The transparent bag, that we have seen before, is of course the Coperni Glass Swipe bag. The black bag is Aupen’s Fearless model. I could not find the belt anywhere, did anyone else? Would look amazing as a necklace too. The dolls reminds me of Zendaya and also Adut Akech, She’s definitely a keeper.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Prototypes shown, the final product may vary. Background and props are not included. This collectible is meant for adult collectors ages 15 and up only. Ring Light Accessory Pack sold separately.

Poppy Parker goes on a Mystery Date: part II: Ski and Beach Dates!

Continuing the presentation of the Poppy Parker® Loves Mystery Date series here are the rest of the two-doll gift sets based on the dates from the vintage board game: Skiing Date and Beach Date. Just like the previous two sets, you open the door and find out which date is waiting. Is it the date Poppy expects? Or "The Stud"? The special “mystery” figure is inserted at random throughout these sets. Whether you opt for the Ski or Beach date gift sets, you have a 1 in 16 chance that Poppy’s date isn’t the beau from the set, but instead "The Stud", a scrappy young man who is not what Poppy expects. Remember that there are only 500 of this guy produced, so this means that 125 are inserted at random in each group of 2000 sets per date and may replace Poppy's intended date without warning. Remember that the lotteries for these two sets will be open for W Club members after the ones for the first two sets end.

*REMINDERS FROM INTEGRITY TOYS*

• Important! Nobody at Integrity knows which sets contain the “mystery” Stud figure; it will be a surprise upon receipt. We will not be able to confirm which you will receive in advance, nor do any trades or replacements whether or not you get the “traditional” set date or "The Stud". Note that each figure in the sets is packaged individually inside the main package to make trading with other collectors easier;

• The Poppy Parker dolls are consistent with the set theme;

• Whether you enter one or all of the lotteries for these gift sets, again note that the “mystery” Stud figures are inserted at random. This means that if you buy all four sets, you might get him once, twice, three times, four times, or none at all. This is completely random and out of Integrity Toys' or the W Club's control as discussed above;

• The original board game, while referenced on the packaging, is not included with the various gift sets. Also, please see the photos to see what accessories will and won’t be included should you get the “mystery” Stud date figure.

• Each Set Comes Packaged In Exclusive, Custom Designed Packaging Featuring A Functional Mystery Door And Artwork From The Original 1960s Board Game!

This is the second of my two favourite sets, the first being the Bowling one. I love both dolls and their outfits, plus the accessories are the best of the bunch: skis and batons and ski boots! Pity that Bellamy (always handsome, even though the flocked black hair is not his best look) does not have a pair of skis as well. His orange turtleneck should have been made like Poppy’s at the neck. His striped sweater is printed (custom print made by Alain), as it would have been nearly impossible to make this knitted in doll scale for such a large batch. This Poppy reminds me of the IT Airways Poppy Parker, both the doll and the outfit that has a similar colour palette. If you want photos of The Stud, check Part I of the Mystery Date posts. I think this is one of the most popular sets.

This is the set with less value for money of all the sets of this collection. The outfits are simple and basic (swimwear), the accessories nothing to write home about (the straw hat looks like the Funny Face one, the portable radio and the cooler are cute but not on a par with the skis and boots and batons etc), so for me, it was a no from the get go. Poppy looks like a few of her previous incarnations, although for me it brought Sunshine Games Poppy to mind. Not fond of that one, not fond of this one either. Milo is probably in his worst ever iteration here, plus I already have two versions of him, so it it enough. Love the print of his swimwear though, it looks amazing (Alain for the rescue!). his coif looks too helmet-like, no? As for the stud…

IMPORTANT NOTE: Prototypes shown, final product may vary. The alternate male figure is included at random, there is one chance in 16 of receiving this figure instead of the beach date figure. The acrylic blocks shown in some of the photographs are display props only and are not included with the gift set. These collectibles are meant for adult collectors ages 15 and up only.

Poppy Parker goes on a Mystery Date: part I - Formal Dance and Bowling Date!

A few days ago, W Club members got an invitation for a “slumber party event presentation:. People wandered why the slumber party theme, but many correctly guessed that it was related to Poppy. And since the much talked about pet project of David Buttry, Poppy Parker designer extraordinaire was mentioned in some of the latest online presentations, one could easily connect the dots. Sure enough, when Carol, Alain and David, in their PJs (Alain in a hooded top reminding us of Star Wars, since he was in front of his gorgeous related display) with their pillows, appeared and begun explaining the new collection, it was an Integrity Toys collaboration with Hasbro: Poppy Parker Loves Mystery Date.

Inspired by the classic board game from 1965 where players are preparing to go on a Mystery Date, the Poppy Parker® Loves Mystery Date series includes four two-doll gift sets based on the dates from the vintage board game: Skiing, Bowling, Beach and Formal Dance dates. But, this series comes with a twist: Get one of the special edition sets and Poppy Parker might be accompanied by an elusive “Mystery Date” instead of her expected beau. When you open the door to find out which date is waiting. it could be the date Poppy expects, or "The Stud" (the dud of the original game). A special “mystery” figure is inserted at random throughout these sets. Alain has done an incredible job with the packaging again, combining the original board game illustrations with the Poppy Parker box - there is even the door hiding the guy!

The concept follows that of the game, where four girls were collecting their outfit’s pieces and, when it was complete, could open the white door to find out their date. It could be any of four different “appropriate” guys or the “dud”, a guy dressed. plainly. How it translates to dolly world? Whether you opt for the Formal Dance, Bowling, Ski, or Beach date gift sets, you have a 1 in 16 chance that Poppy’s date isn’t the beau from the set, but instead "The Stud", an otherwise handsome, scrappy guy dressed as if going to fix his motorbike. There are only 500 of this guy produced over all the sets; this means that 125 are inserted at random in each group of 2000 sets per date and may replace Poppy's intended date without warning. The sets are going to be available through W Club-only "right-to-buy" lotteries. Two sets lotteries will be done now and the next two sets lotteries will be done after the first ones are completed.

I have no recollection of the board game from when I was I kid, even though we got most of the popular board games from the US translated into Greek. None of its versions ever graced the Greek shops, so there is no nostalgia element for me here, apart from the gorgeous illustrations of the original version, that remind me classic 50s - 60s illustrators like Al Parker, Coby Whitmore and Gerry Fancett among others. You can still get the original game, in a repackaged tin box version. What I don’t get, and Integrity should have been more forthcoming on this, instead of a quick “this is a licensed product, hence not much freedom for modifications” comment, is why are all the dolls white people. Why not have black, asian, latin, native people making up the couples? One of the later versions of the game had such a variety in the illustrations, so Hasbro definitely has done that. It is 2022 people, there is simply no excuse. I find it hard to believe that a big company like Hasbro would make a fuss about skin tones in 2022. And if there was a glitch about this in the licensing process, maybe it is the wrong license to get, regardless of the sentimental/nostalgia factor involved. There could even be a gay couple (we have a 50s one in East 59th, why not a 60s one here?). I’d rather see that than pyjama party shenanigans from Integrity. They have a name to look up to.

The first gift set consists of a rendition of Baby It’s You release: that was the debut of Chip in the storyline. This version of him looks a lot like a colour variation of the original, although with his exaggerated pompadour and pale skin tone, he would fit better as Chevalier Danceny in Dangerous Liaisons. Poppy is playing Barbie - and she nearly looks better, although the gown is rather plain. The set is rather lacking in accessories compared to others in this collection.

The Stud is rather fetching for a “dud”, isn’t he? I would not mind getting him instead of some of the guys offered. Especially considering I do not have this sculpt in my collection yet. If only he was wearing overalls instead of this ghastly pair of jeans. And s toolbox would have been a nice addition, making him more equal to the other guys in terms of accessories.

This is one of my two favourite sets - both for the dolls and their outfits and accessories. Poppy is adorable in her bowling attire, Cabot as well and the bags with the bowling balls are simply gorgeous. Their shoes are fantastic and the soda bottles are the cherry on top. They look amazing together. Poppy reminds me a bit of Co-ed Cutie Poppy. David said that all Poppy dolls of this collection have the Bergdorf screening but with the vintage eyebrows.
