Another Jason Wu designed W Club 20th anniversary doll: Optic Gold Nadja Rhymes

We thought we were getting one Jason Wu Club 20th Anniversary doll this year but, no, we just discovered we are actually getting another one (and a Poppy to come). All W Club members get the chance to pre-order "Optic Gold" Nadja Rhymes, designed by Jason Wu. There was also a mention during the video pre-recorded presentation that we will see him again soon - is that for his Poppy or something else entirely?

The Story:

In celebration of the W Club’s 20th anniversary, Jason Wu brought together varied inspirations to create the gorgeous Optic Gold Nadja Rhymes doll! He blended collector-favorite past Fashion Royalty couture (in Optic Verve and Optic Clash), marrying it with an inspirational gown that Wu had conceptualized for a famous celebrity. He chose Nadja as the perfect representative model, using custom fabric made for his own adult-sized couture fashions to complete the look. The result, another gorgeous, celebratory creation available to all W Club members to order as a special bonus!

Included:

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

• Opulent golden strapless gown with oversized bow detail at the waist, made of sumptuous Jason Wu custom couture fabric;

• Golden martelé texture clutch purse;

• Golden ankle-strapped high heels;

• Runway-inspired asymmetrical golden and "jeweled" earrings;

• Extravagant three-tiered "jeweled" necklace;

• Pair of grip hands;

• Alternate pair of golden chromed gloved hands;

• Doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

Jason said that this, contrary to his dolls always wearing miniature versions of his dresses, is inspired by a Fashion Royalty holy grail doll: Optic Verve Agnes Von Weiss. But there is a thread connecting this to his real-life dresses: the fabric is a scaled down version of the one used on a gown from his Fall/Winter 2024 collection (seen on the left below) and later worn by Eiza González on the premiere of her film The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare in April 2024 (seen on the right below).

The fabric is metallic and has a martelé texture (hammered metal) that is quite difficult to translate to doll scale - you can see it better on the train of the dress in the photo of the doll’s back. They had to go to the factory that made the fabric for Jason originally, to recreate it in doll scale. She is literally dripping with gold - her hands are chrome gloves, she has a coordinating clutch (with martelé texture too), the earrings are a new design that looks organic (they are slightly different from each other) and the necklace is a remake of the one Optic Verve Agnes was wearing. Nadja’s face could have used a bit more intense lip colour to pop. The price is a bit lower than the usual Jason Wu Collection dolls come with, but the extra tariff charge makes it the same.

A Monogram gift set is coming to revive the line for Integrity Toys

It was expected since last year that Integrity Toys was reviving one of their discontinued lines. So it was not a big surprise when the company announced to W Club members that designer Chris Stoeckel was revisiting FR: Monogram: the line was up his alley, with its couture style and retro inspiration. The surprise was that the first release is an extravagant gift set available to all W Club members through pre-order. Even better? The price! How can IT release a doll with three outfits in a gorgeous box retailing at $199.00 but their simpler one outfit upgrades cost $175.00?

The Story:

Impeccable Integrity Toys designer Chris Stoeckel imbues his distinct artistry and aesthetic into this highly-detailed FR: Monogram gift set. With elegance and classic glamour exuding from every inch, from the custom-embroidery and luxurious fabrics to the bold colors and intricate finishing touches, "Popular" is sure to charm you with her irresistible sophistication! -Designed by Chris Stoeckel

Included:

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

• Beautifully custom-embroidered kimono-inspired suit jacket with contrasting dramatic "pocket" detail, matching multi-use harness with criss-crossed ribbon tie detail that can be used alone or as a collar over the jacket and matching knee-length skirt;

• Elegant fitted strapless knee-length dress with contrasting bust and oversized vertical bow detail, and matching oversized coat with large puff sleeves and elaborate embroidered double lapel;

• Delicate lace teddy with cutout and bow detailing, worn under a dramatic matching lace robe with contrasting "fur" trim;

• Thigh-high stockings with lace trim;

• Glamorous pink floral-trimmed hat;

• Pink woven-textured purse with chain detail;

• Pink strappy tie platform heels featuring a brand new shoe base;

• Pale pink strappy tie platform heels featuring a brand new shoe base;

• Pale pink heeled mules;

• Sun drop earrings;

• Bracelet with drop "jewel";

• Stud earrings;

• Pair of long-manicured hands;

• Alternate pair of "gloved" hands;

• Doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

I personally am very happy that the Monogram line gets a fresh start - I like their style and elegance and already have at least five in my collection.Chris is a good choice to design this and it shows in this gift set. We get three outfits with the doll, all in one gorgeous box that has the original line’s colouring and design. So Chris got the two outfits out of Dior by John Galliano’s Spring 2007 Haute Couture collection: The pink suit almost looking like the original, but simplified (that zig-zag collar cannot be made commercially for dolls) and the coat collar from one outfit (third in the line up below) added to another coat and dress outfit from the same collection (middle in the row below), again simplified for production.

Let’s not forget it is not the first time we get an outfit from this collection on an IT doll: Agnes was the first, way back in 2008 for the Dolls In Oz convention: (Agnes photo by me)

I love the outfits, the accessories, the doll with her couture extreme make up and gorgeous red hair. The handling of the tariff is weird - they should have just added a fixed amount in case that tariffs are still on when the doll arrives and scrap it if they are not. This would be more convenient for everyone involved and is already being done by other doll companies. Also, for us non -US citizens, it is flabbergasting that we have to pay a tariff that is imposed to USA imports. Make a distribution centre in EU or in China and ship to non USA people directly from there. Regarding the doll body brouhaha I saw on social media, let me just remind everyone that the original Monogram body is the Poppy Parker body with FR legs. So the only change is the FR legs being replace by Poppy high heeled ones. And Chris said, during the presentation, that the clothes (maybe not the lingerie) fit NU Face, albeit a bit snug.

You can see the doll in her various outfits from all sides in the video below:

First new doll for the 2025 W Club year is a special anniversary Jason Wu Collection Fashion Royalty: Venus Rising Eugenia Perrin Frost

This year marks the 20th Anniversary of the W Club, so a special Jason Wu doll was promised during last year’s convention. The time has come to unveil "Venus Rising" Eugenia Perrin-Frost, designed by Fashion Royalty's original visionary, Jason Wu. She is a made-to-order doll, which does not happen often for a Wu doll. Added bonus, she’s a new version of the elusive grail Venus Eugenia.

Item # 12332

Venus Rising

Eugenia Perrin-Frost™ Dressed Doll

The Jason Wu™ Collection

Edition Size: TBD

Expected Ship Date: Winter 2025

Head Sculpt: Eugenia

Body Type: FR 6.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: Japan

Hair Color: Black/Brown Mix

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 2025 W Club members only- 1 per membership. ($50.00 NRD deposit due now, $149.00 + S & H due in approximately Winter 2025)

The Story:

As Jason Wu decided on the best way to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the W Club with a special Made-to-order doll for collectors, he started with a grail—hearkening back to the ultra-ultra-limited “Venus Lingerie” doll, which was a premium purchase through the Venus Secret lingerie shop in Taiwan. Using the original colour palette as inspiration, Jason has modernised the look with an infusion of luxury, using a miniaturised version of a gorgeous ensemble from his Spring 2013 collection, choosing a slightly different skirt construction and a new hairstyle to create this incredibly special and glamorous look.

Included:

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

• Beautifully hand-beaded sleeveless bodysuit with voluminous floor-length skirt and removable harness;

• Golden apple purse with chain detail;

• Black strappy tie heels with golden accents;

• Golden knot earrings;

• Jason Wu branded doll-sized lipstick accessory;

• Pair of long-manicured hands;

• Alternate pair of hands;

• Alternate pair of grip hands;

• Doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

Venus Eugenia was a very limited edition doll, specially made for the Venus Secret lingerie company of Taiwan, when they asked Jason to make them something special for their customers. According to yesterday’s presentation (Carol Roth had Jason Wu as a guest to talk about the doll and his years with Integrity, alongside Alain Trembley who had two prototypes of the doll to show), that edition was only 100 dolls. I still remember the frenzy, when word got out about the doll, of collectors trying to secure one. And now club members can have one of their own! The new doll has the same screening as the original one, with a different hairstyle and hair colour (original had loose wave black hair) and same skintone. She looks gorgeous and I am certain she will be a hit with collectors again. Jason mentioned that he picked Eugenia back when he made Venus as she was one of the new characters, but she had been around for three years by then, and had ten previous incarnations already released (including some very desired grail ones).

The dress is based on one of Jason’s designs from his Spring 2013 collection as shown in the photo above. Jason said that the original design did not translate well in doll scale, leaving the dress looking too small. Tulle is always difficult to scale properly for dolls but at least they could have given different lengths to the layers in the doll skirt, so that it would show better. The beading of the bodysuit is hand made (and looks amazing), so expect more time for delivery than is usual for made-to-order dolls. The shoes do not look like the originals (despite what Jason mentioned) but they look great (love the metallic tips on the ribbons), while the bag looks cool too. She comes with a Jason Wu lipstick and a pair of earrings too. The price is the standard for Jason Wu club dolls.

Below you can see a video of the doll rotating.

The W Club 2025 registration period has begun! And it celebrates its 20th anniversary!

The W Club registration period for 2025 has just begun - and this year it celebrates its 20th anniversary since it begun back in 2006. I joined in 2007, so my 20th will be next year! If I remember correctly, the first W Club exclusive were Agnes Von Weiss Dressing The Part and Veronique Perrin Stylish Escape. The W Club is the one and only Official Collectors' Club for Integrity Toys, covering all their brands including Poppy Parker, Fashion Royalty, NU. Face, NU. Fantasy, East 59th, The Monarchs: Homme, Meteor, Tulabelle True & Co. and more. Registration is only open once a year, so make sure to register by 9 PM ET on Wednesday, March 19th, if you want to be a part of it. A base membership (one time $50 fee) covers all of these perks and more for the 2025 membership year. You can watch the registration video or contact the club if you have any questions.

In addition to the first-to-know information, members-only forum, online chats, priority customer service and special events, W Club members will receive the following opportunities:

• Five additional W Club exclusive made-to-order dolls guaranteed throughout the year (we cannot guarantee which lines they will be from or how many from which line, but we are currently expecting that these will come from Poppy Parker, Fashion Royalty, NU. Face and/or NU. Fantasy during 2025).

• Special pricing for most* IT Direct releases that are also made available to the public.

• Priority access for online and in-person events, if any**.

*THIS IS FOR MOST, NOT ALL of the items. There may be some items excepted, including but not limited to collaboration projects or sales outside of Integrity’s control, such as through dealers.

**If there are any limited attendance events, priority access does not guarantee every W Club member a spot. Some spots may be held for the public or other purposes. Access to any online events does not guarantee access to event-specific products offered.

More details are available in the FAQs (click here to read). The detail purchasing instructions for buying the membership and the registration dolls are here. The big news were that:

1. No in-person convention for 2025 but an online one, available to all club members.

2. A Jason Wu doll for the 20th anniversary of the club (outside the 5 club dolls)

3. Maybe a small scale event similar to Curated but not confirmed.

4. A lot of teasing about some out of the box releases.

Lilith, Agnes and Poppy are each $175 above the cost of the $50 base membership.So that is $10.00 more than last year for FR and NU Face and $15.00 more for Poppy Parker. Last year the prices were up to only $5.00 per doll. And with the current tariff situation unfolding, it’s going to get worse. A $30 deposit per doll is payable when registering and the $145 balance is due (plus shipping/fees/taxes) upon shipment, currently expected to be Fall 2025, but may happen earlier or later than projected. Let’s check out the dolls on offer.

Lilith Blair™ Dressed Doll

The NU. Face™ Collection

2025 W Club Registration Exclusive Doll

Edition Size: TBD

Price: $ 175+ Shipping - This doll will have a $30 non-refundable deposit due immediately, with $145+ shipping balance due at shipping time, approximately in Fall 2025.

Head Sculpt: Lilith/Eden

Body Type: NF 3.5 (Updated Upper Torso)

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled & Articulated Ankle

Skin Tone: Hungarian

Hair Color: Dark Chocolate

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

The Story:

Lilith knew that her good friend and fellow NU. Face model Giselle’s older sister, the Baroness Agnes von Weiss, was pouring millions of dollars into a new lifestyle venture. Agnes had immensely wealthy backers and a lot of promotional work was to be had for the new “AvW” brand. Always savvy, Lilith positioned herself to be part of the social and print media launches. Agnes thought the idea was brilliant and wanted both Lilith and her twin sister Eden to work in tandem.

Despite prodding from her sister, Eden pushed back. Eden was very loyal to W Cosmetics and the Perrins and thought there might be a conflict in working so closely with Agnes. This was creating some issues between the sisters, which was only heightened when Agnes secured Lilith an invitation to the 20th Anniversary Gala, but not one for Eden.

The night of the event, Agnes picked Lilith up in her chauffeured platinum Bentley, where they discussed some key networking tactics for the event as Lilith primped her look. Lilith went to grab her favorite W Cosmetics lip gloss and stopped herself. The gloss was too good to give up, but Lilith didn't even want to imagine the wrath that would come her way if Agnes saw her use anything with her biggest rival's logo on it. Her contract would surely be torn up on the spot, at a minimum!

Upon arrival at the Gala, Agnes realized they hadn’t received all-access “VIP” level entrance.

Making sure to be indispensable to Agnes, Lilith created a diversion by getting her dress caught in the Bentley’s door, screaming and attracting paparazzi and then turning in the perfect way to model the gown for the photos…

“It’s an AvW original, launching soon” Lilith said to each reporter and photographer who snapped her orchestrated picture, turning “in distress” into “check out this dress!”

Lilith watched Agnes sneak into the VIP lounge and gave a wry smile to the cameras, pleased with her work. Her sister would never…

Includes:

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

• Stunning strapless short antique gold gown with dramatic side train;

• Golden "leather" ankle strap pumps;

• Seamed pantyhose;

• Doll-sized 20th Anniversary Gala invitation;

• Doll-sized 20th Anniversary Gala attendee swag bag, which includes a miniature reproduction of an original Fashion Royalty dealer catalog from 2002;

• Doll-sized W Cosmetics branded lip gloss;

• Ornate black and purple clutch purse;

• Drop earrings with cameo detail;

• Metal feather-inspired bracelet;

• Oversized square ring;

• Pair of long-manicured hands;

• Alternate pair of grip hands;

• Doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

I admit I was a bit disappointed seeing Lilith as an upgrade doll again. I was expecting either a real surprise like Takeo returning, or at least Dominique or Annik. But I guess IT wants a very surefire doll sculpt to entice more collectors to join, and the Blair twins are very popular. Also, what is it with no dark skinned or Asian dolls (yes I know Rayna is from the Middle East but she is Caucasian-passing) not appearing as upgrades two years in a row? IT is a black owned company that was created to offer a diversity of dolls for a neglected part of the doll market - it does not show here.

Even though this is not a favourite sculpt of mine (and I know I am in the minority here), this particular doll ticks a lot of boxes for me. I like her hairstyle and make up, I like her dress and accessories and the overall look is quite impressive, as a club doll should be. So I might probably end up getting her along with my membership.Her dress reminds me of Laquan Smith dresses like this one.Below is a closer look at her gala related accessories (the story-line continues from the last W Club doll for 2024).

Baroness Agnes Von Weiss® Dressed Doll

The Fashion Royalty® Collection

2025 W Club Registration Exclusive Doll

Edition Size: TBD

Price: $175 + Shipping - This doll will have a $30 non-refundable deposit due immediately, with $145 + shipping balance due at shipping time, approximately in Fall 2025.

Head Sculpt: Agnes

Body Type: FR 6.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled & Articulated Ankle

Skin Tone: Japan

Hair Color: Pale Blonde

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

The Story:

The Baroness herself, Agnes Von Weiss, had been plotting her comeback for several years—an eponymous lifestyle brand that ventured into every territory imaginable, including fashion, cosmetics, accessories and other lifestyle wares. She had decided that the Blair twins would be the perfect influencers to help launch the brand across social and print media, and while Lilith Blair had jumped on the opportunity, her sister Eden was being difficult to nail down.

Critical to getting the right press for the launch was appearing at the industry event known to insiders as the “Anniversary Gala”. With it being the 20th anniversary, invitations were more coveted than ever, and Agnes spent hefty sums with PR agents and gift baskets making sure to secure her limited invite. Agnes was thrilled that she was able to secure invitations for her and Lilith, and decided it would be a perfect opportunity for them to both dress in preview pieces from the fashion part of the collection, now going under the “AvW” brand.

In addition to working on her launch, Agnes was also trying to distract her competition. She was sabotaging launch events by stealing booked space, offering a higher price, double-booking noted fashion photgraphers and even catfishing key players at rival brands, including Vanessa Perrin, to whom she had sent everything from love poems in French to bouquets of flowers.

Agnes was very pleased with her work until she and Lilith arrived at the event in her chauffeured Bentley. After emerging from the car to paparazzi clicks, she noticed two lines—one for guests and one for VIPs…

“Lilith, dear, does your invitation say ‘VIP” on it?” Agnes inquired.

Lilith shook her head "no".

“I am going to need you to create a diversion,” Agnes directed.

Lilith got the train of her gown intentionally stuck in the Bentley’s door, calling for help and distracting everyone. This created just the diversion needed for Agnes to slip past security and sneak directly into the VIP champagne tasting area.

While several of the event organizers knew Agnes had not been invited to the champagne lounge, nobody dared approach her, worried that she would cause a commotion.

However, the calm did not last. When Agnes spotted Adèle Makéda in a small group toasting, she sauntered right up to her and tapped her shoulder. Adèle turned around and in shock, dropped her champagne, with the liquid spraying down the front of Agnes’s gown…

Includes:

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

• Beautiful strapless gown with black trimmed bodice attached to a voluminous magenta skirt with removable floral appliqué belt;

• Strappy stilettos with hot pink flower detail;

• Doll-sized 20th Anniversary Gala invitation;

• Doll-sized 20th Anniversary Gala attendee swag bag, which includes a miniature reproduction of an original Fashion Royalty dealer catalog from 2002;

• Magenta handbag with "gold" chain and filigree detail;

• Newly developed champagne flute with interchangeable tilted and non-tilted pink "liquid" effect inserts (for more realistic closeup photography);

• Dramatic drop earrings;

• Ring;

• Beaded bracelet;

• Pair of long-manicured hands;

• Alternate pair of grip hands;

• Doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

Agnes is a fitting 20th anniversary club registration exclusive for FR (see the beginning of this post), but so would have been Veronique, which was the expectation from a large number of collectors. An equally large number were expecting a doll that has a long time to appear for the club, either Natalia or one of the older Homme guys - Pierre, Francisco or even Takeo Mizutani. Nevertheless, here she is in a big Barbie styled and coloured gown that is not very Agnes at all. I understand we already got many mermaid shaped dresses recently, but there are other shapes to an evening dress (and plenty of couture houses to copy, ehm, sorry, reference). The stretchy lace that makes up the finishing of the bustier top and its removable belt do not help the least. Her face is gorgeous, with the Ocean Drive screening (which can be retired now, please) and her luscious hair bring to mind Optic Verve Agnes but also Optic Clash Dania Zarr.

Her accessories are very nice, the gorgeous retro-styled bag, the rose adorned shoes, the jewellery suite and the gala extras. Although these are a bit lacking compared to Lilith or Adele - one champagne glass only (with two options for its content, tilted and level - the tilt looks hyperbolic in the photos, only close to the mouth the liquid might get this angle) and no cosmetics item - she could have had something from her own new brand to showcase at the event. I am on the verge of ordering her as well but not certain and that says something.

The Story:

As Poppy Parker was on the way to the movie premiere event for "Pinkie", she closed her eyes and daydreamed. What luck that while taking her precious pet Pinkie Parker to the salon for her very first "pawdicure", she happened to run into Jack Jeffries, the biggest movie magnate in all of Hollywood! Jack had been wanting to work with Poppy and was so smitten with Pinkie, he offered them both a movie deal on the spot, with Pinkie getting the title role! When Poppy finally arrived at the premiere and stepped onto the red carpet, she couldn't help but giggle as swarms of fans clamored not just for hers, but for Pinkie's "pawtograph", too!

Includes:

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

• Glamorous metallic pink floral brocade column dress with cut-outs and bow detail at waist;

• Hot pink faux fur stole with "tails";

• Pink stone drop earrings;

• "Silver" bracelet with pink stones;

• Large pink stone ring;

• Pair of long-manicured hands;

• Alternate pair of hands;

• Doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

Ever since Ciao Poppy! (a very limited Italian convention release) and even more Pink Lemonade (the most ordered Poppy ever), IT has been trying to recreate the moment and make pink-haired Poppy dolls a regular theme. The obvious Barbie parallels are too much to ignore though and, despite being inspired by one of the extravagant looks of Shirley MacLaine in What A Way To Go, she looks bored and tired. If she had the original look from the film it would have looked so much better - IT needs to secure the license to do the full round of costumes from that film, it is a tour-de-force by Edith Head. The hairstyle couls have either been more like the one Shirley has with the look in the film or at least reference Mayhem In Monte Carlo Poppy. Or make something new and similar to this fantasy hair interpretation. She has a new screening, which David Buttry said was inspired by elements he liked from other Poppy screenings. I am not fond of it in this iteration, will wait to see how it looks in different colours and another doll. The hair is the same as Commanding Attention Poppy. The fabric of the dress has been seen before, in a different colour, on the Scope Out outfit from last year’s convention Style Lab Rayna (no.7). Not crazy about it.

She comes with the flat dog she has been with before, this time in pink, as supposedly the dog is the star who’s attending the premiere of its film. We have seen the stole before but not in this colour and she is lacking the then ubiquitous opera length gloves, which would make the whole look much more 60s adjacent. The rest of the accessories are typical Poppy ones. The dog gets a carry-all bag made of carton, which looks like a milk carton with a flat dog inside.

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!

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;

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.

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;

• Clear "cabachon" earrings;

• "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.

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.

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.
