Wonder Woman Barbie Collector dolls available to order!

Mattel is pushing ahead with their Wonder Woman releases, right before the premiere of the film next week. After the playline releases, the collector dolls are now available to order - but on backorder till June 1st. That either proves that the available ones are already snapped up or that the company will be late in releasing them but did not want to lose the momentum that the film will create. I really like them and will try to order them all. Let's see them all - description from the Barbie Collector website. The dolls are all Silver Label, i.e. 25,000 or less dolls.

Marni Senofonte, Beyoncé's stylist, collaborates with Mattel for some amazing Barbie dolls!

The @Barbiestyle instagram account, one of the official Mattel accounts, posts photos and set ups featuring Barbie in a variety of roles and outfits, attracting a huge number of followers and exerting real social media influence. Many times, the dolls and outfits featured are one-of-a-kind creations, driving Barbie and fashion doll collectors crazy with envy, as they know they are never getting these dolls to own. The latest series of photos talked about online are from Mattel's collaboration with none other than Beyoncé's stylist extraordinaire, Marni Senofonte.

As mentioned in her webpage, Marni Senofonte is a stylist, costume designer, and brand consultant. Her distinct style, which has evolved over the last two decades, layers proportion and pattern, texture and technique, high-end designer and fast fashion, to create iconic, trend defining look. Her work spans editorial spreads to appearances, music and films to world tours. Intensely collaborative, she enjoys teaming with designers, craftsmen and artisans to not only realize her vision and the vision of those she works with, but also to create outfits, imagery and full-realized brands that are both distinct and defining. She has worked with a wide range of celebrities and personalities, from Beyoncé, Lauryn Hill, and Sean Combs to Ciara, Mary J. Blige, and Jay Z, as well as with brands such as Gucci, Kenzo, Roberto Cavalli and couturiers Ulyana Sergeenko and Francesco Scognamiglio. Originally from a small town in Pennsylvania, Marni started her career as Norma Kamali's assistant. She now lives between Los Angeles  and New York City.

Like most people interested in fashion, Marni was playing with Barbie dolls as a kid, cutting their her, redressing and styling them. Like many kids out there, the doll was her first foray into fashion, unleashing her creative potential. Coming full circle, her collaboration with @BarbieStyle features a range of one-of-kind looks showcasing a very diverse range of body, hair, and skin options. The stylist mentions that the Barbie Fashionistas line with their diverse body types (original, curvy, tall, and petite),skin tones and hairstyles, was her main inspiration.  The dolls are not available for purchase. Hopefully we might see some of their style filter through in future releases of Barbie. Below are photos of the dolls from the @Barbiestyle instagram account and sketches of the dolls by Mattel designer Carlyle Nuera. The details and close ups are screen captures from @Barbiestyle instagram stories. All photos courtesy of Mattel.

Victorian punk is what Barbiestyle calls Senofonte's look for the dolls

First Integrity Toys collection for 2017 unveiled: The Industry

Welcome to the new home of The Fashion Doll Chronicles! The new webpage is designed to expand the scope and content of the blog, while staying true to it! So you will be able to keep on reading the blog (and all the old posts of course), while having the joy to see large photos categorised into various sections. I have made the old blog redirect here. Our new address is www.fashiondollchronicles.com and the direct address to the blog now is www.fashiondollchronicles.com/fashiondollchronicles . Let me know what you think about the new website and redesign!

In other news, Integrity Toys just unveiled their new collection, their first in 2017, and it is the much anticipated Industry full collection. So far we had only seen two dolls, one for the general public and one in the convention, both being the 12" version of Tulabelle. New characters are introduced now, two girls and two boys. David Buttry is the man behind this collection and he has done a great job. The dolls look very modern and hip, with the incredible accessories stealing the show. My favourites are the guys and I have them preordered. The collection is available for preorder now from the regular IT dealers, so go ahead and get the ones you want. Be quick as the W Club had a heads up so some dolls might be sold out already. Let's see them one by one.

Come Thru!
Tulabelle True™ Dressed Doll
The Industry™ 
Approximate Ship Date: Late Spring/Early Summer 2017
Edition Size: 600 Dolls Worldwide
Suggested Retail Price: $125.00 US

Doll Tech Specs:

Head Sculpt: Tulabelle
Hair Color: Light-Auburn
Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-Applied
Body Type: The Industry 1.0
Foot Sculpt: Traditional High-Heeled Feet
Quick Switch Feature: No
Skin Tone: Japan

Tulabelle True™ is a fully articulated 12.5 inch doll with fully rooted hair and hand applied eyelashes. Tulabelle is wearing a little black dress, paired with a sequined cropped jacket. She has a welath of accessories including a smart phone, and a coffee cup. Jewellery, a bag and boots are included too. For adult collectors ages 15 and up only. This doll cannot stand alone; a doll stand is included.

I did not like the first Tulabelle and I have still not changed my mind about the sculpt, even if she has gorgeous red hair like this version. Just a reminder that according to the storyline she is Poppy Parker's granddaughter and a fashion blogger, hence the smart phone and the coffee cup, as she is supposedly frequenting fashion shows and blogs about them. I like the dress but the jewellery look wrong with it. The boots are a rehash of the NU Face ones from their last collection, but minus the gold soles and heels. The striped tights look like a zebra (not good). The pink lipstick reminds me of a previous Vanessa (and other recent FR dolls) and does not look very current in fashion, as one can see while checking last autumns Spring/Summer collections. The spirit of he outfit is a bit Balmain, which can be good or bad, depending on your personal taste. I love the dress, her bag with the word DOLLFACE on it (very tongue-in-cheek) and of course the phone and cup.

Liu Liu Ling™ Dressed Doll
The Industry™ 
Approximate Ship Date: Late Spring/Early Summer 2017
Edition Size: 600 Dolls Worldwide
Suggested Retail Price: $125.00 US

Doll Tech Specs:

Head Sculpt: Liu Liu Ling (New Sculpt!)
Hair Color: Pale Pink
Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-Applied
Body Type: The Industry 1.0
Foot Sculpt: Flat (Articulated at the Ankles)
Quick Switch Feature: No
Skin Tone: FR White

Liu Liu Ling™ is a fully articulated 12.5 inch doll with a combination of rooted hair and flocked hair and features hand applied eyelashes. Liu Liu is wearing a hooded faux-fur jacket over a layered mini-dress and complements the look with a jewellery set, a high-contrast carry-on bag and a rose gold cell phone. Liu Liu is the very first doll from The Industry Collection to feature the new articulated flat foot and she comes with two flat pairs of shoes, a pair of knee-high boots and a pair of sandals. For adult collectors ages 15 and up only. This doll cannot stand alone; a doll stand is included.

The hair remind me of a Barbie with a similar hairstyle in yellow. but the rest is pure Integrity. The face though does not make me want her. It must be the first Asian sculpt Integrity does that does not click with me. The dress is amazing, with the layering of knit over fabric and the micro-sequins on the sleeves. The coat though is awkward and bulky and does not flatter her at all. Wondering how the flat feet will work in real life as one cannot tell from the photos. They look more refined than Poppy's articulated feet though. She has the same phone as Tulabelle. while the bag is not as original in style. The jewellery looks nice. 

Item # 88004
Zine Queen
Binx Barone™ Dressed Doll
The Industry™ 
Approximate Ship Date: Late Spring/Early Summer 2017
Edition Size: 600 Dolls Worldwide
Suggested Retail Price: $125.00 US

Doll Tech Specs:

Head Sculpt: Binx Barone (New Sculpt!)
Hair Color: Brunette
Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-Applied
Body Type: The Industry 1.0
Foot Sculpt: Traditional High-Heeled Feet
Quick Switch Feature: No
Skin Tone: New Hispanic

Binx Barone™ is a fully articulated 12.5 inch doll with fully rooted hair and hand applied eyelashes. Binx Barone comes dressed in a long jacquard print overcoat and intricately constructed cocktail dress, accessorized with jewellery, a black purse, cat-eyed glasses, socks and shoes. BINX also comes with a golden tablet. For adult collectors ages 15 and up only. This doll cannot stand alone; a doll stand is included.

Binx is, according to the story line, a fashion editor reporting on the collections. She is the only doll with a darker skin tone in this collection, a Latina, while there is no African American doll yet. I bet there will be one added at a later point, although they could have made one of the two caucasian or asian dolls into one. Binx looks nice but has a slightly wide face which is not flattered by the hairstyle of the doll. And while each item she is wearing looks good by itself, the combination is a bit off. Love the tablet! The socks-with-shoes combo should have been used for the Versace vinyl mini dresses at the convention, as they were the ones used in real life.Her bag is very nice too. The coat looks more like something a Fashion Royalty lady would wear and the same goes with most of her jewellery. That of course might signify that Binx is an older character than the other dolls in the collection.

Item # 88005
Believe the Hype
Tate Tanaka™ Fashion Figure
The Industry™ 
Approximate Ship Date: Late Spring/Early Summer 2017
Edition Size: 600 Fashion Figures Worldwide

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

Another Asian boy for Integrity, Tate looks great and is dressed amazingly well too. There's nothing I do not love about this guy, so he's preordered of course! In the story line he is a fashion designer, his grandmother is Tina Tanaka (Poppy's friend using the first Ayumi sculpt) and is Tulabelle's boyfriend. 

Item # 88006
Beauty Boss
Cabot Clark™ Fashion Figure
The Industry™ 
Approximate Ship Date: Late Spring/Early Summer 2017
Edition Size: 600 Fashion Figures Worldwide
Suggested Retail Price: $125.00 US

Doll Tech Specs:

Head Sculpt: Cabot Clark (New Sculpt!)
Hair Color: Platinum
Eyelashes: No
Body Type: Homme 1.5
Foot Sculpt: Homme
Quick Switch Feature: No
Skin Tone: FR White

Cabot Clark™ is a fully articulated 12.5 inch fashion figure with short, fully rooted hair. Cabot wears a sheer shirt with a pair of silver-toned trousers under a "fur" jacket and comes with a miniature makeup case and ultra-detailed miniature "makeup" palettes and faux-brushes. For adult collectors ages 15 and up only. This doll cannot stand alone; a doll stand is included.

Although he is supposedly a new sculpt, he reminds me too much of either Chip or Auden - he could be the old Chip face (as that character now has a new face), no? I love everything about him, he's glam and gorgeous and so are his accessories, which will be hard to keep out of the hands of all the ladies in my collection. I bet he will be a very popular guy at home, ha ha. My only reservation is the apparent velcro strip for his shirt closure at the front. I just wonder how the delicate shirt fabric will remain safe from it.

So what do you think of the first full Industry collection? Are you getting any dolls? If yes, which ones?

Wow, she's amazing. I love both the doll and the outfit. This is the proper way to make club upgrade dolls, which, up until now, were mostly basic versions. This one has it all. Smokey eyes with light coloured lips, a great hairstyle, a gorgeous outfit (love that rose ruffle, it is so reminiscent of the glory days of Ungaro) and full on accessories, including a plane ticket, passport and what looks like a credit card. Can she pay herself with that one please?

She looks very kittenish and 60s starlet style but I think I will pass this one, too much pink for my taste. If I want Barbie, I will get Barbie. And the accessories are pretty basic, miniature vinyl record notwithstanding. What a contrast to Vanessa.

Item # 91345

Fashion Explorer Vanessa Perrin®

Dressed Doll

The Fashion Royalty® Collection

2014 W Club Exclusive Deluxe Upgrade Doll

Doll Tech Specs:

Body Type: FR 2013

Head Sculpt: Vanessa 3.0

Quick Switch Feature: No

Skin Tone: FR White

Hair Color: Brunette

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand Applied

A sporty version of Vanessa Perrin, she has rooted brunette hair and hand applied eyelashes. She comes dressed in a multi-layered look composed of a sheer mesh top layered with a faux-suede shirt, a low waist wrap mini-skirt accented by a wide pleather belt, matching knee high boots that lace up the front, a perfectly coordinated oversized pleather duffel bag, jewellery and a newly developed pair of sunglasses. Doll stand and certificate of authenticity included. For adult collectors ages 14 and up.

This is a gorgeous Vanessa in her latest incarnation. A brunette as well, which mean I want her as I only have a red head version 3.0 - plus the outfit looks great and she comes with a nice bag. Just wish her jewellery was a bit better, as she comes with the $130 price tag that proper collection dolls come. I thought upgrades were supposed to cost less than the normal collection dolls (last year's Kyori was $95)

Judging from last year's upgrade dolls, the make up style of Vanessa will be the one dominating the main collection, which is good, it looks terrific. But I would have liked better earrings or a ring.

The Girl from I.N.T.E.G.R.I.T.Y.

Poppy Parker™ Dressed Doll

2014 W Club Exclusive Upgrade Doll 

Doll Tech Specs:

Body Type: Poppy Parker® 

Head Sculpt: Poppy Parker®

Quick Switch Feature: No

Skin Tone: Caucasian / FR White

Hair Color: Raven

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand Applied

This year the main Poppy Parker collection has a spy theme, as it was announced in the convention. So look out for lots of mod styling again.The doll has fully rooted hair styled in a pageboy look and features hand applied eyelashes. She wears a black and white mini dress with black button accents, completed by a matching black "leather" vest, white tights, black "leather" boots, a mod handbag and her look is topped by a newsboy cap that matches the rest of her ensemble. A doll stand and a certificate of authenticity are also included and the The Girl from I.N.T.E.G.R.I.T.Y. collection will feature a brand new exclusively themed package design. For adult collectors ages 14 and over.

I love mod Poppy and this one is no exception. If they get the hair right (short hair is always tricky) she will be a smash. Emma Peel beware! She even has a gorgeous ring to complement her beautiful outfit.

She has lots of accessories, plus an extra pair of hands, but a price tag that's also more expensive than last year's Poppy Parker collection (the Poppy upgrade was $85 and the main collection $89 each). Not a very good sign. 

Item #14057

Countess Danielle Du Voisin™

Adult Collectable Doll

The JEM AND THE HOLOGRAMS™ Collection

2014 W Club Exclusive Upgrade Doll

Doll Tech Specs:

Body Type: JEM / Color Infusion

Head Sculpt: Minx

Quick Switch Feature: No

Skin Tone: Caucasian / FR White

Hair Color: Blond

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand Applied

Danielle Du Voisin is a 12-inch articulated doll with fully rooted hair, styled in the character's (she's the Holograms' mentor) signature sophisticated up-do and has hand-applied eyelashes. This never before produced character seen here for the first time in doll form comes dressed in one of her key looks from the original TV series and includes shoes, a jewellery set and a variety of character related accessories. Doll stand and certificate of authenticity included. For adult collectors ages 14 and up.

She's a dead ringer for Paris Hilton! The outfit would have made Joan Collins proud, it's straight out of Dynasty. She would have made a fun addition to my collection but I want the other two more than this one (she's $130 when other Jem dolls with loads of accessories were $120) and she also has the Jem/CI body which does not fit with anything else in my collection. 

So while the W Club plain subscription price remains the same ($50), the dolls cost much more than they should. If this trend continues with the main lines, my spending will be less than last year to manage. And I bet other collectors think along the same lines.
