The story:

The crowd roared as Adèle Makéda glided across the red carpet, a magnetic presence that left fans, influencers, and paparazzi scrambling for the perfect shot. The big fashion industry event known merely as the “Anniversary Gala” was the event of the year, and with it being the 20th anniversary, invitations were as rare as diamonds—even among the W Cosmetics team and major fashion houses. As Adèle was escorted to the VIP section for an exclusive champagne tasting reserved for the elite, she scanned the other VIPs to find a friendly face—and hopefully avoid some others that she prayed were left off the guest list.

Then, she felt a tap on her shoulder. A chill shot down her spine. She spun around, ready to toast with a champagne glass in hand—only to drop it in shock. The silhouette before her was unmistakable. It could only be... - Designed by Jessy Ayala

What a beautiful Adele to finish the club year! She looks fantastic. Wearing a colour variant of a F/W 2024/25 Schiaparelli Haute Couture gown , she is radiant and elegant. Her screening and hairstyle do bring to mind most recent Adele dolls, but the combination looks quite different as to warrant a yes from me. The gown has been released from JamieShow Dolls as well as an outfit only edition, and in the original colour, but is quite different in the construction style of the bodice. The bow bit is removable - it remains to be seen if it can be also worn as a shawl. She also has a veil, a shopping bag and a shoe box (they have begun to pop up often lately, no?). We get two pairs of shoes and a flat feet set as well, plus those champagne flutes with the removable liquid imitation, She also has the gala invitation (in an envelope no less), a 2002 FR dealer catalogue and a W Cosmetics makeup compact with mirror. Plus of course her nice jewellery suite.

Jessy also provided an additional photo to show a closer view of some of the accessories.

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. The doll cannot stand alone; a doll stand is included.

We know the 4th W Club doll and it is a blast from the past: Poème d'Amour Vanessa Perrin Gift Set

The 4th W Club Exclusive doll of the 2024 membership year was presented through an email before the end of January, bringing us a bit closer to the end of the club year. "Poème d'Amour" Vanessa Perrin, is a doll by Integrity Toys designer Jessy Ayala: a bridal gift set that evokes the spirit of early Fashion Royalty gift sets (Poesie Sans Couleur Vanessa to be exact).

The story:

During a photo shoot for a special new collab between W Cosmetics and famously glamorous bridal fashion designer Ambra Liange, Vanessa Perrin was the picture of perfection as a blushing bride, showcasing three different stunning looks-- lingerie, a cocktail dress and a bridal gown-- effortlessly. But after a full day's work, when she returned to the dressing room exhausted, as she sat at her vanity to take her make-up off, she noticed an envelope with the name "Vanessa" written on it. Her head was spinning as she opened it to reveal an anonymous Poème d'Amour all about her. But, who this could be from? - Designed by Jessy Ayala

Included:

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

• Exquisite strapless lace bridal gown with peplum accented by a small removable waist bow and double-tiered mermaid train;

• Long sheer bridal veil decorated with applique details;

• Chromed long-stem rose;

• Ivory pumps;

• "Jeweled" clutch purse;

• Handbag with lock detail;

• Opera-length net gloves;

• FR branded shoe box;

• White sunglasses;

• "Pearl" stud earrings;

• "Pearl" drop earrings;

• "Pearl" and "jeweled" earrings;

• Large "diamond" engagement ring;

• "Pearl" and "jeweled" ring;

• "Gold" ring with baby blue flowers and tiny "pearl" detail;

• "Pearl" drop necklace;

• "Pearl" and "jeweled" bracelet;

• "Diamond" and "pearl" tennis bracelet;

• Pair of FR hands;

• Alternate pair of long-manicure hands;

• Alternate pair of "grip" hands;

• Luxe, Atelier-style packaging;

• Doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

A giftset inspired by Poesie Sans Couleur Vanessa Perring FDQ giftset from 2005. Even the box design, as you can see further below, mimics the style of that set. We get a very different silhouette for the dress than the OG one, this time with a peplum and mermaid tail skirt, that makes this look too 80s couture more than anything contemporary. The lace of the dress looks exquisite and is accented by the light blue grosgrain belt. The finishing of the lace on her peplum and mermaid skirt could have been slightly more raw; as it is, it gives off a hint of grandmother’s doilies, exacerbated by that dreadful metallic rose (which is a direct lift off from the S/S 2024 J.P.Gaultier Haute Couture collection by Simon Rocha. The mermaid tail has a hidden hook and button that can be used to shorten it, by forming a small bustle at the lower part of the dress - you can see in some of the photos how the dress train looks shorter. The veil looks incredible and has a nice finishing with embroidered pearls on its hem, which should also make it stay put when layered over the doll and gown. Love the pearl decorated shoes that come with the gown, one of three pairs included with the set.

The second look is a corset and skirt cocktail dress, with a removable huge bow at the back. This is from the second inspiration of Jessy for this set, the True Royalty Vanessa Perrin set, with her corset and the overall colouring both of the dress (similar to the second outfit in that set) and of the doll (red hair and similar make up). I love this look the most, especially without the bow and my Vanessa will probably be wearing this on display (yes I did pre-order). I love how the bow can be made to look like a light bustle at the back, awesome. And yes, she gets a colour - coordinated bag and heels for it. Plus sunglasses too. The draping of the corset references the Poesie cocktail dress.

The third look is the classic lingerie look, in a light blue colour echoing the wedding gown belt. Both Poesie and True Royalty sets had lingerie included but I could do without it, almost none of my dolls are displayed in lingerie. The set is nicely detailed and has a pair of sling-backs decorated with a rose, and stockings to match, thankfully without garters (it is a pain to put those on on a doll). She even has the flat feet extra pair to walk barefoot wearing the lingerie. Overall it is an amazing set (flaws and all) with a very expensive tag on it, ouch! With that price, it should have had a different shoe box for every pair, not just the one. And remember - if you have Edge Vanessa Perrin (3.0 sculpt), she can wear these to bring it closer to Poesie!

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. The doll cannot stand alone; a doll stand is included.

The NU. Face AudioVisual Collection is unveiled!

Almost a week after the first doll reveal of 2025, we finally got the NU Face capsule collection we had been waiting for quite some time now. Unveiled during a live presentation, three brand new NU .Face dolls form the AudioVisual capsule collection, created by Integrity Toys designer Jessy Ayala. Two dolls are dealer dolls and one is for the W Club as a lottery. We get a new character (not sculpt) plus a new sculpt for the Asian twins Kumi and Yuri. Remember that these NU Fantasy twins had the same sculpt as the Blair twins, Eden and Lilith. Now they get their own distinct sculpt and enter the world of NU Face proper, as per the storyline released:

Always pushing the boundaries of innovation, the newly formed Tokyo division of the NU.Face agency just landed an incredible campaign with a top-tier Japanese electronics giant! To make it truly groundbreaking, they’ve chosen to spotlight their very first digital model—Novae, a stunning new character that’s ready to steal the show. Alongside her, the ever-mysterious twins Kumi and Yuri are back, sharing a fresh new sculpt and a subtly updated upper torso. With this powerhouse trio leading the way, the AudioVisual campaign is guaranteed to be a massive hit!

Item # 82170

Holographic

Novae™ Dressed Doll

The NU. Face® Collection: AudioVisual

Edition Size: 1400

Expected Ship Date: Early Spring 2025

MSRP: $175 + S & H - AVAILABLE ONLY FROM IT DEALERS

Head Sculpt: Novae / Ayumi 3.0

Body Type: NF 3.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled & Articulated Ankle

Skin Tone: Nubian

Hair Color: Sterling Silver

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

The Story:

Welcome to the future! Introducing NU. Face Tokyo's first ever digital model, Novae! Always perfectly beautiful on the cutting edge of fashion, it's mathematically impossible for her to have a bad day. Her pre-programmed looks will always be flawless and just what every NU. Face client needs! - Designed by Jessy Ayala

Included:

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

• Fierce look comprised of a show-stopping long purple belted trench coat with a matching purple micro mini skirt with low slung belt and buckle detail;

• Cropped iridescent patterned long sleeve top;

• Purple foldover boots with "silver" stud detail and inside zipper;

• Purple doll-sized headphones;

• Purple doll-sized smart phone accessory;

• Purple NU. Face branded hand bag;

• "Silver" necklace;

• "Silver" earrings;

• Two "silver" rings;

• Pair of long manicure hands;

• Alternate pair of grip hands;

• Doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity;

First of all the new character: using Ayumi’s 3.0 sculpt, she is a digital influencer avatar, much like many who populate social media these days. The doll looks amazing in her violet ensemble, with the tailored long coat and fancy separates, complimented by awesome accessories like those amazing boots, the quirky bag, jewellery, a mobile phone and headphones! She comes with an extra pair of flat feet legs. I think Jesse missed an opportunity here to have a more out-there make up look, since this is supposed to be a digital avatar, but she’s still beautiful. The boots are from Givenchy (the Shark Lock boots, unfortunately without a lock). The skirt and bag seem to be from Gaultier but not absolutely certain.

Angelic Sound

Yuri™ Dressed Doll

The NU. Face® Collection: AudioVisual

Edition Size: 1400

Expected Ship Date: Early Spring 2025

MSRP: $175 + S & H - AVAILABLE ONLY FROM IT DEALERS

Head Sculpt: Yuri 2.0 / Kumi 2.0 (NEW!)

Body Type: NF 3.5 (Updated Upper Torso!)

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled & Articulated Ankle

Skin Tone: Japan

Hair Color: Platinum Blonde

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

The Story:

The top brass at NU. Face Tokyo are buzzing with excitement over the latest leaps in AI technology that have birthed their groundbreaking new digital model, Novae. But even more thrilling? The epic return of the top modeling twins, Yuri and Kumi, who will act as her backups in the modeling campaign! Pictured here rocking a fresh new look, the eternally angelic Yuri is serving up a cute look, ready to dominate the digital frontier with flair and finesse. It's a whole new chapter, and they’re stepping into it like superstars! - Designed by Jessy Ayala

Included:

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

• Angelic look comprised of a white bra-top embellished with bows, grommet and ribbon tie detail with matching low-slung micro mini skirt with grommet, lace and ruffle detail;

• Ruffled lace arm gauntlets;

• Knee-high stockings;

• White lace up knee-high boots with inside zipper;

• Doll-sized microphone accessory;

• White sailor-inspired hat with grommet and ribbon detail;

• White handbag with ribbon and folded fabric detail;

• Clear "cabachon" earrings;

• Two "silver" rings;

• "Silver" beaded bracelet;

• Pair of long manicure hands;

• Alternate pair of grip hands;

• Doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

I must say I love the new sculpt much better than the Eden/Lilith one! The old one is very bland, almost boring, while this one looks incredible and fresh. Jesse also said that the head was made smaller than previous dolls, in order to show better with the tall, lean NU Face body. This doll looks like she jumped out of a Jean Paul Gaultier fragrance commercial, with her navy-inspired look - and you can see that sailor boy hat in the S/S 2024 Couture collection by Simon Rocha. She looks like she’s missing a jacket or coat (and for her price, it should have been included). Love her boots (to be worn with flat feet) and she has a microphone! Extra high heeled leg pair included as well. Glad I was confirmed by my dealer, it seems she sold out really fast.

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:

The much-anticipated return of the electrifying modeling duo, Yuri and Kumi, alongside their cutting-edge digital companion, Novae, has set the fashion world on fire! NU. Face Tokyo is the talk of the industry, and Kumi couldn’t be more thrilled to lead the charge. Her jaw-dropping, otherworldly look is the undeniable showstopper of the campaign. With her bold, rock-inspired style and irresistible naughty glam girl aura, Kumi is not just making waves—she’s redefining them. This is her moment, and she's absolutely owning it, rocking the fashion scene like never before. Get ready, because Kumi’s legacy is only just beginning! - Designed by Jessy Ayala

Included:

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

• Over-the-knee black boots with grommet detail;

• Pair of long manicure gloved hands;

• Alternate pair of grip hands;

• Certificate of authenticity.

The “evil” twin is the lottery doll of this capsule collection and she looks fierce! The horns are removable, so no worries about that. She reminds me of Simi from the Dark Hunters dolls that IT had released back in 2010 (that one had the Anja sculpt). Dark and goth but make it Japanese, Kumi looks gorgeous and I am definitely entering the lottery for her, so that I can match her with her twin. I love her hard rock band look and especially her grommet covered boots and amazing guitar. Hairstyle and make up are almost perfect. For the older collectors - doesn’t she remind you of Ann Wilson from Heart? She has an extra pair of flat feet legs included. Her bag reminds me of the one that Gala Glow Up Zuri has.

The third W Club doll is another Poppy - Return To Misty Hollows!

Just a few days before Christmas, W Club members got the email for the 3rd W Club Exclusive doll of the 2024 membership year, introducing "Return To Misty Hollows" Poppy Parker. Describing her as the sequel to "Welcome To Misty Hollows" Poppy Parker, it is a mini gift set. The storyline goes that Poppy Parker follows up her highly acclaimed role on the hit British TV Show "Misty Hollows" in a spinoff taking place in New Orleans.

Item # 77259

Return To Misty Hollows

2024 W Club Exclusive Doll

Head Sculpt: Poppy

Body Type: Poppy 1.5

Foot Sculpt: Articulated Ankle And High-heeled Feet

Skin Tone: Light Honey

Hair Color: Dark Brown And Black Mix

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

MSRP: $185 + S & H / Special W Club Price: $175 + S & H

Sales method: These dolls are guaranteed made-to-order for 2024 W Club members only- 1 per membership ($50.00 NRD due now, $125.00 + S & H due in approximately Summer 2025)

The story:

Several years back, Poppy Parker's special guest star appearance on the hit British TV series "Misty Hollows" made such a strong impression that when the network decided to make an American spin-off version of the series set in New Orleans called "Return To Misty Hollows", the name that came to mind to play the lead was of course, none other than Miss Poppy Parker! Her sweet disposition and youthful beauty made her the perfect choice to play the "Is she or isn't she?" vampire-next-door character, a fan favorite of the whole series! - Designed by David Buttry

Included:

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

• Chillingly adorable black mini-dress with white lace neckline and cuff embellishments, as well as luxe custom embroidery and beading detail;

• Purple shortalls;

• Edwardian-inspired white chiffon blouse with large blouson sleeves;

• Black pantyhose;

• Black pumps (for high-heeled foot lower legs, included);

• Tall shiny black buckle boots (for articulated ankle lower legs, included);

• Black decorative hand mirror;

• Black clutch purse with buckle detail:

• Black ribbon choker necklace with black heart "stone" pendant set in "gold";

• Black "stone" earrings set in "gold";

• Matching black "stone" ring set in "gold";

• Black tie ribbon with magnetic white floral brooch;

• Pair of "Poppy Parker" hands;

• Alternate pair of long-manicure hands;

• Doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

I know people, particularly newer collectors, love having newer versions of older dolls, but it has started to get repetitive and, frankly, quite boring. If you do not have fresh ideas as a creative, maybe take a break and re-focus. Integrity is inching closer to Mattel territory, and it is not good for anyone, except maybe the owner’s wallet. And that is not a good thing for anyone in the long term. Even if one simply opens a fashion catalogue from the 60s and randomly selects a page, they can find an outfit that has not been done yet for this doll. Not to mention Vogue magazines from the era. So please, rethink this strategy IT.

Having said that, the doll here is wearing a dress inspired by two Oscar De La Renta outfits, from his 1968 Fall collection, here photographed by Irving Penn on Windsor Elliot and Lauren Hutton. for US Vogue’s September 1968 issue.

Somehow it does not look as majestic or romantic in its doll version, as it does in the original one. I think that if we got the second iteration, without the frills, it would have looked much better - but it would not be reminiscent of Misty Hollows. Which connects to my previous comments. The second outfit has a gorgeous blouse but I cannot say I am a fan of the overalls. Maybe she should have had some torreador pants, which would channel the dress embroidery. The boots are great, the bag is generic, nice choker and mirror. I love that the doll is the opposite of the Misty Hollows Poppy in colouring, but I would have preferred her with brown eyes and less garish make up.

New Meteor dolls - Vaughn Sawyers last release at Integrity Toys

Integrity Toys, as previously announced, recently unveiled the final two Meteor dolls designed by Vaughn Sawyers for them. Honouring Vaughn's legacy, Integrity Toys is giving all W Club members the exclusive opportunity to pre-order both of these dolls. The Meteor line will continue next year with a guest designer at the helm.

Item # 46038

Gala Glow Up

Zuri Okoty™ Dressed Doll

The Meteor™ Collection

Edition Size: TBD

Expected Ship Date: Late Spring 2025

Head Sculpt: Zuri Okoty

Body Type: Meteor 1.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: Dark A-Tone

Hair Color: Auburn Brown

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

MSRP: $175 + S & H

Special W Club Price: $165 + S & H

Sales method: These dolls are guaranteed made-to-order for 2024 W Club members only- 1 per membership ($50.00 NRD deposit due now, $115.00 + S & H due in approximately Late Spring 2025).

The story:

Always "the boss" with her sights set on the brightest future possible, the incredible surge of popularity at the Meteor has made it to where Zuri has no other choice but to move the club to a much larger new location to accommodate all this amazing growth! So, Zuri decided to throw a farewell gala to celebrate all of the wonderful memories they had at their original location, while also celebrating this exciting new chapter ahead. True to form, Zuri is stealing the show in a vibrant gown, a symbol of her unstoppable drive and radiant energy. As the night sparkles with laughter, stories, and anticipation for what’s to come, it’s clear—Zuri’s vision has never been brighter, and neither has she! - Designed by Vaughn Sawyers

Included:

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

• Exquisite pale turquoise sleeveless dress with plunging neckline and attached neck ribbon detail, along with a dramatic thigh-high front slit;

• Panty;

• Metallic handbag with chain and horsebit detail;

• Metallic heels with buckled ankle strap detail;

• Striking oversized martelé texture hoop earrings;

• Two matching martelé texture cuff bracelets;

• Matching martelé ring;

• Pair of long-manicured hands;

• Alternate pair of grip hands;

• Doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

I always love a Zuri doll with the tooth gap showing and this one is no exception. But the shape of her eyeshadow looks a bit weird, especially with that colour. Her dress colour on the other hand is gorgeous and reminds me of Korinne Dumas’ one some years ago. People find the $165 price high for what is on offer but remember that the line’s price is $175 since last year, so the -$10 to me looks just about right. She has an evening dress and a full accessory set with it (intricate Gucci bag included). Also remember that Meteor dolls have a smaller fan base and sell well below other lines, so even the made-to-order dolls will not be reaching the levels of say Poppy or Nu Gace ladies. Smaller edition means more expensive to make, so the price also reflects that. The overall pricing of IT is high as it is, which is a matter for another discussion altogether. I do not have a Zuri with this hairstyle, so I’m on the fence about her.

Seductive Slay

Navia Phan™ Dressed Doll

The Meteor™ Collection

Edition Size: TBD

Expected Ship Date: Late Spring 2025

Head Sculpt: Navia Phan

Body Type: FR 6.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: Light Honey

Hair Color: Dark Brown Mix

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

MSRP: $175 + S & H

Special W Club Price: $165 + S & H

Sales method: These dolls are guaranteed made-to-order for 2024 W Club members only- 1 per membership ($50.00 NRD deposit due now, $115.00 + S & H due in approximately Late Spring 2025).

The story:

When tasked with crafting the perfect signature cocktails to match the significance and spirit of the farewell gala, mixologist extraordinaire Navia Phan more than rose to the occasion—she nailed it. Her creation, a bittersweet masterpiece named “Meteor Rising,” captured the essence of the night: a tribute to the Meteor’s original home, while toasting to the exciting future ahead. The drink quickly became the star of the evening, with every guest savoring its rich complexity as they celebrated in style.

But when Navia took center stage to lead the club in a heartfelt farewell toast, she couldn’t help but smile at the attention she was getting. Was it her show-stopping, seductive dress or her unforgettable cocktail that had everyone buzzing? Perhaps it was a little bit of both. - Designed by Vaughn Sawyers

Included:

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

• Sultry warm red dress with beautifully draped halter style bodice attached to a seductive skirt with an enticingly exaggerated front slit;

• Panty;

• Golden clutch;

• Golden high heels;

• Long ornate "jeweled" golden earrings;

• Matching "jeweled" golden bracelet;

• Matching oversized "jeweled" golden ring;

• Pair of long-manicured hands;

• Alternate pair of grip hands;

• Doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

One thing I have to remark upon is that we already got a Navia and a Zuri this year, through the Jason Kramer collaboration. So it would have been nice if we had two different characters released by Vaugh, say Keeki and Amirah, who are, with Zuri, from the original line-up. Having said that, we get another beautifully done Navia - though I still cannot fully like this sculpt, especially the way her features look too small for the size of her head. The red (again) dress is probably “inspired” by LaQuan Smith (same as Nadja’s StyleLab jumpsuit).

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.
