Integrity Toys releases a new trans doll - and she's a Billion Dollar Baddie

As promised in W Club emails, we had a live presentation with Alain Trembley, Carol Roth and Jessy Ayala last Friday. After giving us news about the convention - it will be virtual this year too, with more participants but less dolls - and a Jem and The Holograms giftset, we got down to business: the unveiling of two new Nu Face dolls that belong to the Reckless Behavior collection, a continuation of the popular 2016 Reckless line. One is Rayna (again! surely Jesse loves this sculpt) and the much awaited Latinx new character, Alejandra Luna. She’s trans and although the first in a main line release, she’s not the first trans doll Integrity Dolls have made. In 2006, Jason Wu designed Amanda Lepore doll for them, a collection of three wigged dolls made from RealSkin resin which mimicked porcelain. Contrary to those very limited editions, Alejandra, alongside Rayna, will be available from dealers - where I hear they are mostly sold out already. The price is $160.00, same as FR dolls were last year.. Wild Feeling Rayna’s mini giftset in December was $175.00, but honestly these two are more value for money.

I was not expecting Rayna to make an appearance so soon after her last one in December, but here she is. And I definitely do not mind as she is breathtaking! While Jessy said she has Natural Wonder Rayna’s screening (another gorgeous Rayna I am the lucky owner of), she reminds me much more of Rock Me, Baby Rayna from the 2012 IFDC convention. Her outfit is amazing and very detailed. I love the eyelet detail and the layering over the mesh t-shirt. The accessories are top-notch: we have the Nu Face choker making an appearance again, as well as a repeat of the teddy-bear backpack, but in a BDSM fetish style. The shrunk leather cap with rhinestone studs is perfection, as well as the unusual gloves and N/F earrings, Hair barrettes, a ring, bracelets and booties complete the look. I was lucky enough to be confirmed for her.

First main line trans doll Alejandra Luna is a gorgeous doll that rocks a fiery outfit. Her sculpt is beautiful and modern, without suffering from the bloated head syndrome that some other new sculpts have. Jessy said she took a lot of time to fine tune and was inspired (more in essence and not exact look) by the trans Bosnian/Australian model/actress Andreja Pejic. I do not see any connection but maybe if we get a version with colours closer to Andreja’s, we might see something. Jessy also said she was made to look like a younger Eugenia Perrin. He said that the hair in the production doll might not be as long. The look is reminiscent of Zerina Akers’ work with Beyoncé. and I love it. The dress has something of Clash Control Erin, the shoes are from Alexander McQueen ad the bag looks like the Balenciaga Hourglass bag. Got confirmed for her as well, so I’m happy!

That was quick - Integrity Toys new basic dolls available Monday, February 8th

After last week’s reveal of the basic Victoire dolls and the plan of Integrity Toys to offer basic edition dolls in open edition sizes (when they "sell-out", more will be produced and then made available for sale again in the IT shopping cart), we now get two more dolls! From the Meteor line, designed by Vaughn Sawyers, we get two variations of Keeki. It looks like IT will be releasing one character from each line as a basic doll in two colour variations, and probably add more characters later on, depending on the project’s success. Looks good to me.

Purchase Instructions

1. Starting Monday, February 8th, 2021 at approximately Noon Eastern Time, these dolls will appear in the IT Direct Exclusive Category in the Integrity Toys shopping cart at https://www.integritytoys.com/shop.

2. There will be no purchase limit on these dolls and they will be available to the public at the same time.

A beautiful basic version of Keeki - if you did not get any of her previous versions, this looks ideal. Great jewellery for a basic doll too. I have the first Keeki, so this is too close to her for me.

A new offering from Integrity Toys - basic dolls in open editions!

Integrity Toys decided to offer collectors new basic dolls from their various brands. These dolls will be a chance for new and seasoned collectors alike to buy dolls that are usually snapped up by W Club members before they even hit the store. All new basic edition dolls will be made in open edition sizes. That means that when they "sell-out" on Integrity’s online shop, more will be produced and then made available for sale again. This makes it easier for people just starting to collect IT dolls to enter the hobby - something that is really hard due to the limited editions. Once the initial shipment currently in the IT warehouse sells out, the next run will be ready in a few months.

The first 2 dolls in the series are two different Victoire Roux dolls designed by Chris Stoeckel. Each doll in the series features hand-applied eyelashes, a few accessories, and signature doll stands. The dolls will come packaged in lightweight, easy-to-ship narrow packaging (dimensions 4" X 14" X 2.25" similar to the recent convention slim-box packaging). this will reduce shipping costs a bit, IT said that additional characters from other collector-favorite brands are on the way soon. I am really curious to see what they will be and how they will handle the more popular ones: Poppy Parker anyone? At $99.00 a doll, they are definitely not playline cheap, but they are IT collectibles. Some compared the price with the $60.00 that Style Lab dolls cost in the latest convention. But those were nude dolls, without any accessories, no stand and no box. Add all these up and you get why the raised price. I am curious to see how this will evolve, it is a good thing though and kudos to Integrity Toys for making it happen.

Not only she brings to mind the original Barbie, she also reminds me of Essentially Gene Rouge and Alibi Rouge Gene Marshall from Integrity. I love the screening and the pin up look. And since there is no hurry to order her now, she might be coming home in the future.

I love this one too, she is a gorgeous doll. And even though I have redhead Victoire dolls (both with new and old sculpt), she’s too good to miss.

Dolly Days 5 part 2: Poppy Parker travelling again!

The last two dolls to be presented on the final day of the Dolly Days Integrity Toys week-long event, were from David Buttry: the final additions to the Model Traveler collection. One of them is inspired from India and the other from Australia, in contrast to the previous dolls of the series that were referring to particular cities, not countries. But that is the least that bothers me with these two.

Item # 77199

Enlightened in India

Poppy Parker™ Dressed Doll

Poppy Parker™: The Model Traveler Collection

Limited Edition: 1200 Dolls

Expected Ship Date: Spring 2021

Suggested Retail Pricing: $150.00

AVAILABLE ONLY FROM IT DEALERS

Head Sculpt: Poppy Parker

Body Type: PP 1.5

Foot Sculpt: Articulated Ankle

Skin Tone: FR White

Hair Color: Light Blond

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

Quickswitch: No

Included:

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

Groovy paisley printed mini-dress with sheer sleeves and Nehru collar;

"Golden" lace-up sandal boots;

Chain necklace featuring an oversized "peace and love" pendant;

"Golden" drop earrings;

"Golden" rings with bright cloisonné finish;

Hot pink oversized sunglasses;

Long fringed faux-suede shoulder bag;

Pair of peace and love symbol hands;

Alternate pair of Poppy Parker hands;

Doll stand;

Certificate of authenticity.

These last couple of additions to the Model Traveler collection look like a quick and uninspired money grab effort to me. Take Enlightened In India for example. She looks like a mash up of previous Poppy dolls: take a dash of Glad All Over, add a cup of Time Of The Season, mix in the Midas Touch sandals and there you have it! I’m not saying she is not beautiful, just not that original to me. And back then, Mumbai was still called Bombay.

Item # 77200

Outback Walkabout

Poppy Parker™ Dressed Doll

Long-sleeved, safari-inspired, lace-up mini-dress;

Faux-leather thigh-high boots;

Faux-leather choker necklace;

Oversized sunglasses;

"Golden" hoop hearings;

Cloisonné ring;

Round shoulder bag with stripe detail;

Pair of slight hold hands;

Alternate pair of Poppy Parker hands;

Doll stand;

Certificate of authenticity.

This one is inspired by the famous Yves Saint-Laurent safari outfit modelled for posterity by Verushka. Unfortunately, Mattel did this one first, and with much more glorious results, as they had the license from YSL to make an exact copy of the outfit. The Integrity Toys version looks like the H&M watered down edition of the French original I’m afraid. Not even a hat to finish off properly. The doll wearing it is gorgeous, even though the violet eyes threw me off. Both dolls sold out at dealers really quickly, despite the large editions. Poppy will sell, no matter what it seems.

Dolly Days 5 part 1: East 59th gets a new character

The fifth and last Dolly Day by Integrity Toys was a bit of a surprise for those of us waiting for a mini Nu Face collection to appear, or a chance to buy replacement bodies, or both. Instead we saw a double unveiling of two mini collections. First up is East 59th Street, designed by Chris Stoeckel, with three dolls, one of which is a new character but not a new sculpt: there is the introduction of Victoire Roux' half-sister, Della Roux, using the same sculpt as Victoire but she’s black.

Item # 73029

Sparkling New Year

Victoire Roux™ Dressed Doll

The East 59th® Collection

Limited Edition: 550 Dolls

Expected Ship Date: Late Winter/ Early Spring 2021

Suggested Retail Pricing: $160.00

Body Type: E59 1.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: FR White

Hair Color: Raven With Platinum Stripe

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

Quickswitch: No

Included:

12-inch fully articulated vinyl fashion doll with rooted hair;

Bright red micro sequined evening gown;

Long, silver brocade evening coat with an ultra-dramatic portrait collar and puff sleeves;

Fiery, intricate "ruby tone" earrings and necklace;

Red "patent leather" D'Orsay pump;

Matching red "patent leather" envelope clutch;

Pair of long manicured hands;

Alternate pair of long painted glove hands;

Doll stand;

Certificate of authenticity.

A glamourous version of Victoire, swathed in sequins, gleaming from head to toe like a million bucks, and in red and white like a fashion model version of Santa Claus.. She reminds me of Monogram Allure in her style. My only objection here is the hairstyle - we’ve seen her before wearing this one, albeit in another hair colour. We have seen the accessories before as well.

Item # 73030

Festive Lights

Constance Madssen® Dressed Doll

The East 59th® Collection

Limited Edition: 550 Dolls

Expected Ship Date: Late Winter/ Early Spring 2021

Glamorous white faux-fur coat;

"Silver" open-toe slingback heels;

"Silver" clutch purse;

Intricate "silver" earrings and necklace with sapphire-colored "stones";

Elegant "stone-encrusted" broach;

Delicate cap hat with bright blue bow detail;

Pair of long manicured hands;

Alternate pair of long painted glove hands;

Doll stand;

Certificate of authenticity.

The festive spirit continues with this version of Constance, although I initially thought it was Evelyn, because of the red hair. Rich outfit and a very glamorous styling all over make her stand out. Not crazy about the skirt buttons.

Item # 73031

Merry & Bright

Della Roux™ Dressed Doll

The East 59th® Collection

Limited Edition: 550 Dolls

Expected Ship Date: Late Winter/ Early Spring 2021

Suggested Retail Pricing: $160.00

Body Type: E59 1.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: FR Black

Hair Color: Raven

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

Quickswitch: No

Included:

12-inch fully articulated vinyl fashion doll with rooted hair;

Two-toned emerald green satin gown composed of a brilliantly engineered pleated skirt worn over a matching bustier;

Glamorous ¾ sleeve satin jacket with dramatic peplum draped collar details;

Alternate, floor-length ballgown skirt (to create different looks for the campaign);

"Golden" ankle strap heels;

Matching "golden" clutch bag;

"Golden" earrings crusted with emerald-colored "stones";

Matching oversized cuff bracelet;

Pair of long manicured hands;

Alternate pair of long painted glove hands;

Doll stand;

Certificate of authenticity.

Best doll of the three, Della makes quite an intriguing entry. I love how this sculpt looks in this iteration and can tell that she might upstage her Caucasian sister easily, especially if she comes dressed in couture outfits like this one. The main ensemble with the full skirt is a recreation of the Zemire 1954-1955 Dior couture one, which has been done before for dolls, notably Gene Marshall. This is also true for the second look, the strapless one, a recreation of the Camaieux dress rom Christian Dior Autumn/Winter 1949 Couture collection. I really want to get this one, but will delay it a while. Now can someone tell me how can two half sisters look like twins?
