Jason Wu Poppy Parker Spring 2021 pair of dolls

Last time we saw a pair of Jason Wu designed Poppy Parker dolls was back in 2020 with the 20th Anniversary collection. Now we get two new ones, available only through lottery to W Club members. Both are wearing Spring 2021 Jason Wu outfits in miniature and have one more thing in common: freckles. I am not crazy about freckles in dolls, as they always look out of scale and cartoony to me. But that is just a matter of taste. As for the styling and fashions…

The Story:

Poppy Parker is thrilled to model a look from Jason Wu's Spring 2021 collection! Looking absolutely adorable with her cute freckled face, Poppy is sure to melt your heart!

Included:

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

Bright yellow, full-length peasant skirt with matching button-down shirt-style jacket;

Navy blue bra top;

Chunky "baroque pearl" necklace;

Golden hoop earrings with "baroque pearl" drop;

Floral print sandals;

Doll stand;

Certificate of authenticity.

I would have loved this face without the freckles - even though her eyeshadow looks like she has stye. Pinks and reds are always risky as eyeshadows. The outfit is not what I would have associated with Jason Wu, if I saw it on a photo without a caption. Sporty and relaxed, it is not what I usually look for in dolls, especially expensive Jason Wu designed ones. And while the miniature sandals look very realistic, they give off cheap tourist vibes. I imagined this one without the freckles and in a yellow tailored outfit. Sigh.

Poppy Parker™ Dressed Doll

The Jason Wu™ Collection

Edition Size: 750

Expected Ship Date: Should Ship Shortly After Winners Have Paid

W CLUB ONLY IT DIRECT RIGHT-TO-BUY LOTTERY

Head Sculpt: Poppy Parker

Body Type: PP 1.5

Foot Sculpt: Articulated flat feet

Skin Tone: Japan

Hair Color: Red

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

MSRP: $190 + S & H

Special W Club RTB Winner Price: $175 + S & H

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:

Poppy Parker models a beautiful, romantic look from Jason Wu's Spring 2021 collection! Looking fresh and youthful with her adorable freckles and long slightly curled bright red hair, this girl is just full of love and can't wait to come home to you!

Included:

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

Cherry pink full-length button-down chiffon dress with smocked waist;

Wide-brimmed straw hat;

"Baroque pearl" bracelet;

Golden hoops with small "baroque pearl" drops;

Striped sandals with petal accents;

Doll stand;

Certificate of authenticity.

Keeping up with the sorbet colours, this one is in deep pink, still with the dreaded freckles and still sporting an outfit that is great on a human visiting the Acropolis in the summer but I do not want it anywhere near my dolls, especially the sandals. Surprisingly, this one looks better on the doll than on the model. Speaking of which, why not this one being AA like the model too? Would have been so much more interesting. This one might look better worn open at the front, over slack striped pants and a cropped top, paired of course with different style sandals. I think it is time that if Jason designs another Poppy, we should get something with the caliber of Bergdorf Goodman Poppy. The “rich lady on a trip to Hydra island” style is tired. Look how Jacquemus does summer.

Meteor ladies go to the Rococo Ball!

W Club members received an email presenting them with two different mini collections - a Meteor one (four dolls) and a Jason Wu one (two dolls- see next post). The four new Meteor collection dolls, include a brand new character, and are all designed by Integrity Toys designer Vaughn Sawyers. Three of the Meteor Collection dolls are only be available for purchase from authorised Integrity Toys dealers, while the fourth one is an IT Direct lottery exclusive. The concept for the collection is that the ladies are lavishly dressed to attend the Meteor's Rococo Ball, an extravagant evening affair. They come very near the Grand Gala in Rome Magia 2000 doll - with the definitive source of inspiration being the Moschino Fall 2020 collection, Chanel Haute Couture Fall 1990 and of course Queen Charlotte from the TV series Bridgerton and Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story. You can watch a video presentation here.

Serving Cake

Keeki Adaeze™ Dressed Doll

The Meteor™ Collection

Edition Size: 750

Expected Ship Date: Summer 2023

MSRP: $175 + S & H

AVAILABLE ONLY FROM IT DEALERS

Head Sculpt: Keeki Adaeze

Body Type: Meteor 1.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: A-Tone

Hair Color: Red Brown Mix

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

The Story:

Keeki Adaeze is putting her own twist on the Meteor's latest outrageously themed evening, inspired by the luscious trappings of the Rococo era! Is she the modern reincarnation of Queen Marie Antoinette? One thing is certain, her look is on point for the evening and she is ready to hold court at the Meteor!

Included:

• 12.5-inch articulated doll with fully rooted hair, ornately braided and intertwined with a bright pink ribbon, as well as hand-applied eyelashes;

• Hooded cropped jacket with layered ruffled cuffs;

• Low-rise shorts;

• Rococo-inspired printed bodysuit;

• Thigh-high stockings;

• Pink platform boots with pink ribbon lace-up detail;

• Golden drip hoop earrings featuring "M" logo;

• Bangle bracelets with "pearl" and "crystal stone" insets;

• Statement ring;

• "Let them eat cake" purse;

• Pair of long-manicured hands;

• Pair of alternate grip hands;

• Doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

The transformation of Keeki is incredible here, she looks like a totally different character. I do not love the light pink lipstick (would have preferred a slightly darker tone to de-Barbiefy her). The athleisure version of rococo style clothes works great despite the tired paisley print, even though the bag looks more like something from Adidas or Thom Browne (depending on your budget). Love the corset (and would be great if I could snatch it somewhere down the line) and the oversize M earrings. The silhouette seems to have a lot in common with this outfit from Moschino Fall 2020 collection.

Succession

Nyasha Lauder™ Dressed Doll

The Meteor™ Collection

Edition Size: 750

Expected Ship Date: Summer 2023

MSRP: $175 + S & H

AVAILABLE ONLY FROM IT DEALERS

Head Sculpt: Nyasha Lauder

Body Type: Meteor 1.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: Dark A-Tone

Hair Color: Dark Brown With Honey Brown Highlights

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

The Story:

Putting her own spin on a classic Rococo look just in time for another fabulous soiree at the Meteor, Nyasha Lauder takes it to the next level of extravagance! This new "belle of the ball" is ready to party and make an impression!

Included:

• 12.5-inch articulated doll with rooted hair styled in an extravagant bouffant look, as well as hand-applied eyelashes;

• Matching top and skirt with pannier-inspired patch pockets;

• Ruffled choker with ribbon bow detail;

• Dark brown mesh stockings;

• Thigh-high boots;

• Macaron-inspired purse;

• Cuff bracelet adorned with "pearls" and other embellishments;

• Drop earrings;

• Two finger rings;

• Pair of long-manicured hands;

• Pair of alternate grip hands;

• Doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

This is by far my favourite doll from this collection. And this comes not only from the beautiful lady but her outfit as well, hence I pre-ordered and got confirmed for her (even though I was late at least an hour in seeing the email, travelling home on a bus). Nyasha comes originally from the Color Infusion line, so it is really great seeing her here and in this towering pompadour hairstyle. Wish she had a heart shaped beauty mark to complete the look. The outfit seems to be lifted off this Moschino Fall 2020 one. I only wish the pink was instead light gold, to show off more. The pleather boots look a lot like the ones worn throughout the Chanel Fall 1990 Haute Couture collection - and would have matched the outfit Chameleon Vanessa was wearing  in the Supermodel convention collection, which was lifted from that very same couture collection.

Head Over Heels

Taliyah Harper™ Dressed Doll

The Meteor™ Collection

Edition Size: 750

Expected Ship Date: Summer 2023

MSRP: $175 + S & H

AVAILABLE ONLY FROM IT DEALERS

Head Sculpt: Taliyah Harper (New Sculpt/New Character!)

Body Type: Meteor 1.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: FR Black

Hair Color: Toffee

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

The Story:

Taliyah makes her official entrance at the Meteor and what an impact she makes! Clad in her show-stopping floor-length redingote and thigh-high boots, this girl is ready to steal the show and put on the performance of a lifetime, leaving her new fans wanting more!

Included:

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

• Showstopping floor-length redingote style coat (inspired by riding coats worn during the Rococo era) with lavishly embroidered trim, lace-up corset detail on the back, and ruffled cuffs;

• Matching purple high-cut bodysuit;

• Full-leg high-heeled boots with sassy contrasting red heels;

• "Jeweled" cross earrings;

• Pair of long-manicured hands;

• Alternate pair of grip hands;

• Doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

There’s something weird going on with the eyes of this one - maybe they are painted too close to the nose? In any case, the wide face syndrome hits once again. why is it so hard to have a narrow face sculpt created? It is so wide that all its features look too small proportionately. Maybe a future version will look better. The tight hairstyle does not help her either. The outfit looks great, even though the embroidery on the skirt of the coat could have been designed a bit more meticulously - it looks half finished. For $175.00 I expect a bit more in this department. It again reminds me of a Chanel Haute Couture Fall 1990 ensemble - a brilliant red one with gold embroidery. Only the skirt is missing.

Amirah Majeed™ Dressed Doll

The Meteor™ Collection

Edition Size: 750

Expected Ship Date: Mid-To-Late June

W CLUB ONLY IT DIRECT RIGHT-TO-BUY LOTTERY

Head Sculpt: Amirah Majeed

Body Type: Meteor 1.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: Sunkissed

Hair Color: Cocoa

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

MSRP: $175 + S & H

Special W Club RTB Winner Price: $165 + S & H

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:

While Amirah Majeed normally likes to oversee operations at the Meteor, she was so inspired by the Rococo theme that for this one special night, she had to come up with a truly extraordinary look that put her front and center, and her friends all agree that she understood the assignment to a tee!

Included:

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

• Ornate bright green Rococo-inspired dress, featuring an intricately designed bodice with embroidered details and appliqué ribbons, as well as a period-inspired pleated skirt;

• Bright green cage/pannier petticoat;

• Bright green thigh-high boots with golden lace-up detail;

• Fan-shaped purse with elaborate, custom-printed artwork;

• Cuff bracelet with "pearl" accents and cameo ornament;

• Dual-strand "pearl" and "diamond" drop necklace;

• Matching drop earrings;

• Finger ring;

• Pair of long-manicured hands;

• Pair of alternate grip hands;

• Doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity;

This is the best version of Amirah yet! Her colouring, her hair, her face, all look beautiful. If I could afford her now, I would try, even though I am not crazy about her outfit. This particular green looks garish compared to the rest of the collection. Also, the pouf skirt draping leaves a lot to be desired. Pity, as she is such a lovely doll. The dress looks a lot like this one from the Moschino Fall 2020 collection.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Prototypes shown, final product may vary. Mirror and other props are not included. These collectibles are meant for adult collectors ages 15 and up only.

Dolly Fridays 2: The TRUE™ Collection is unveiled - Industry reborn!

The 2nd Dolly Friday W Club presentation was about a full collection, the second one revealed this club year (after Poppy Parker’s Palm Springs), which could be a sign of things returning to a more regular pace after the disruptions experienced beginning in 2020. There were six dolls unveiled in total, from the brand new TRUE Collection, all created by IT designers David Buttry and Mark Tinkey. The line is a rebranding of Industry, with a bit of Dynamite Girls pizzaz thrown in. Two dolls are IT Direct lottery items, while the rest are available through official IT dealers. I like what David and Mark are doing here - the collection is cohesive and has a definite point of view, combining the various inspirations and influences in a strong and relatable manner. Some dolls tend to look cartoony, edging closer to Dynamite Girls than Industry, but that was to be expected. Let’s hope this iteration stays and does not need another revamp to sell.

Very Necessary

Hollis Hughes™ Dressed Doll

The TRUE™ Collection

Edition Size: 800

Expected Ship Date: Late Summer 2023

MSRP: $165 + S & H

AVAILABLE ONLY FROM IT DEALERS

Head Sculpt: Hollis

Body Type: TRUE/The Industry 1.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled & Articulated Ankle Foot

Skin Tone: FR Black

Hair Color: Dark Brown Mix

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

The Story:

Top Model Hollis Hughes has been around the world and is a well-regarded voice in the Industry. She’s been brought onto the TRUE team to lend her expertise and knowledge to the brand and to make sure the company’s goals are kept on target. Irreverent, fierce, incredible and loyal are the words often used to describe Ms. Hughes.

Included:

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

• Cropped jacket;

• Pleated denim pants with ruched waistband detail; 

• Custom printed bra top; 

• Sunglasses; 

• Gold-tone bamboo style hoop earrings; 

• Chain necklace with rhinestone pendant; 

• Bangle bracelets; 

• Blue pumps; 

• Enamel flower brooch; 

• Custom printed purse; 

• Pair of long manicured hands;

• Alternate pair of grip hands;

• Pair of articulated flat foot lower legs;

• Alternate pair of high-heeled lower legs;

• Doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

We first saw Hollis in Style Lab and she was a popular sculpt, so here she is again as a TRUE character. She has a lovely face and nice make up, but the hair is very play-line. Her outfit is a mix and match of many disparate things that kind of work. Nice to see a different shape for sunglasses. She looks the most adult of the bunch. Hollis, like all the other female dolls of the collection, comes with two pair of feet, high heeled and articulated flat feet, even though they have only one pair of shoes.

Big Love

Tulabelle True™ Dressed Doll

The TRUE™ Collection

Edition Size: 800

Expected Ship Date: Late Summer 2023

MSRP: $165 + S & H

AVAILABLE ONLY FROM IT DEALERS

Head Sculpt: Tulabelle 2.0

Body Type: TRUE/The Industry 1.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled & Articulated Ankle Foot

Skin Tone: Sunkissed

Hair Color: Bright Pink

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

The Story:

Through years of experience in the fashion industry, Tulabelle has taken on a new role as creative director at her own label. She’s a free-spirit who is as smart as she is fun. She’s ready to step out of the shadows of her well known family and become a success on her own merits.

Included:

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

• Printed bodysuit with ruched sleeve and bow detail;

• Corduroy bibbed jumper with skirt;

• Purple faux fur jacket;

• Color blocked thigh high boots (made for flat foot lower leg);

• Vintage style handbag;

• Acrylic heart earrings;

• Two finger rings;

• Sunglasses;

• Pair of long manicured hands;

• Alternate pair of grip hands;

• Pair of articulated flat foot lower legs;

• Alternate pair of high-heeled lower legs;

• Doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

This is the first time that Tulabelle appears in a darker skin tone, at least in this sculpt version. I still cannot bring myself to like this sculpt - even though her resemblance to Ginger is stronger. The styling is very Gucci by Alessandro Michele and also has some Twiggy vibes. Awesome combination of colours throughout - and I love the miniature corduroy fabric. The boots are for the articulated flat feet she comes with, but of course one can use the high heeled feet to let her wear other styles.

Shut It Down

Liu Liu Ling™ Dressed Doll

The TRUE™ Collection

Edition Size: 800

Expected Ship Date: Late Summer 2023

MSRP: $165 + S & H

AVAILABLE ONLY FROM IT DEALERS

Head Sculpt: Liu Liu

Body Type: TRUE/The Industry 1.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled & Articulated Ankle Foot

Skin Tone: FR White

Hair Color: Black

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

The Story:

Close friend of Tulabelle and as a senior stylist of the TRUE brand, Liu Liu has built a reputation for being honest and direct with her friends and business associates, making her one of the most trusted and well-regarded people in the fashion industry. She’s one of Tulabelle’s biggest assets at the brand, and she knows it.

Included:

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

• Sheer checkered body suit; 

• Custom printed crop top with short sleeves and ruffle detail; 

• Low-rise corduroy wide leg pants; 

• Red faux fur trapper hat;

• Silver-tone "belt" chain;

• Silver-tone drop earrings with enamel detail;

• Two finger rings;

• Two bangle bracelets;

• One cuff bracelet;

• Fox magnet brooch;

• Crossbody tote bag;

• Color blocked vintage inspired tennis shoes;

• Sunglasses;

• Pair of long manicured hands;

• Alternate pair of grip hands;

• Pair of articulated flat foot lower legs;

• Alternate pair of high-heeled lower legs;

• Doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

Probably one of the best versions of this sculpt, Liu Liu looks fantastic here - especially her colourful outfit. It consists of various items that work well together but also will work great in other outfits. I love the quirky hat (fox pin included) - it transforms the whole ensemble. The shoes and earrings are also great accessories and will be easily worked in other outfits. Love the printed bag too - David said it is a custom print, as pretty much all of the prints of this collection. Her face is a bit cartoony with this screening, reminding me a lot of Mulan dolls, but that might also be part of her appeal.

Item # 88076

Drop That Ish

Tate Tanaka™ Dressed Fashion Figure

The TRUE™ Collection

Edition Size: 800

Expected Ship Date: Late Summer 2023

MSRP: $165 + S & H

AVAILABLE ONLY FROM IT DEALERS

Head Sculpt: Tate

Body Type: FR Homme 1.5

Skin Tone: Hungarian

Hair Color: Black Velvet Flocking

The Story:

As a noted designer, entrepreneur, and boyfriend of Tulabelle, Tate Tanaka has taken on the role as head of design at TRUE. Leaning into his many connections and resources and model good looks, he’s determined to make the TRUE brand stand out from the crowd.

Included:

• 12.5-inch articulated fashion figure with flocked hair;

• Orange corduroy cargo pants;

• Gold-tone plaid shirt;

• Matching teddy bear backpack;

• Vintage inspired graphic tee;

• Sleeveless distressed jean vest;

• Necklace;

• Finger ring (not pictured);

• High top sneakers;

• White sport socks;

• Faux fur bucket hat;

• Wristwatch;

• Sunglasses;

• Pair of regular male hands;

• Alternate pair of grip hands;

• Figure stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

Tate is usually the most popular doll in any collection he’s part of, and this one is no exception. He has a fully flocked head here and it is his first with a darker skin tone- each of his previous iterations had pale skin. His outfit is awesome - the plaid shirt looks a lot like the famous Alicia Silverstone Clueless outfit (and Salvador Arriaga staple) and matches with a gorgeous teddy bear backpack! Awesomeness! Furry bucket hat, multicoloured sneakers, necklace, glasses and watch complete the layered look. The whole look has value for money and I wonder why we cannot have this combination of price/clothing items + accessories in other lines. I’m happy that I managed to be confirmed for him.

*Special W Club pricing is limited to one per membership

The Story:

Socialite Jasper Jagger has done a lot in a very short amount of time. From being a part of her family’s media empire to creating her own popular cosmetic line at 20, this has all made her a known social media darling. She and Tulabelle are very close but have also been known to have their very public disagreements but no matter what, she’s been there for her bestie… for the most part.

Included:

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

• Colorful camo print bubble dress with drawstring detail and matching panties;

• Anorak style jacket with hood and "True" branded trim;

• Baby blue printed T-shirt;

• Knee high buckled platform boots with back zipper;

• Rhinestone choker;

• Pink painted hoop earrings;

• Red painted skull ring with rhinestone detail;

• Alternate pair of grip hands;

• Pair of articulated flat foot lower legs;

• Alternate pair of high-heeled lower legs;

• Certificate of authenticity.

Contrary to many collectors, I never liked Jasper. I find the sculpt not only cartoony but also weird looking. This version does not change that. She does have a gorgeous outfit though: a fantastic hooded anorak (that I would wear myself), a beautiful bubble hemmed dress over a printed aqua t-shirt, platform gladiator boots and great jewellery (including a scull ring). I hope to be able to find that anorak at one point.

Auden Adler™ Dressed Fashion Figure

The TRUE™ Collection

Edition Size: 800

Expected Ship Date: Late Summer 2023

W CLUB ONLY IT DIRECT RIGHT-TO-BUY LOTTERY

Head Sculpt: Auden 1.0

Body Type: FR Homme 1.5

Skin Tone: FR White

Hair Color: Golden Blonde

MSRP: $165 + S & H

Special W Club RTB Winner Price*: $150 + S & H

(For RTB winners only, a $50 non-refundable deposit will be due before Feb. 3rd).

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.

*Special W Club pricing is limited to one per membership

The Story:

Auden Adler is a fixture at fashion shows every season. Starting off as a top fashion blogger, known for his exceptional good looks, and whip smart writing style, he’s now known for being one of the most influential fashion writers in the business. Not bad for someone who was once only known as the “Most Beautiful Boy”.

Included:

• 12.5-inch articulated figure with rooted hair;

• Custom knit striped sweater;

• Distressed green jeans;

• Brown corduroy jacket;

• Printed tote bag;

• "Leather" Oxford shoes;

• Ash grey socks;

• Gold-tone chain necklace;

• Heart finger ring;

• Head scarf;

• Sunglasses;

• Pair of regular male hands;

• Alternate pair of grip hands;

• Figure stand;

• Certificate of authenticity;

Auden was always one of the first dolls to sell out whenever Dynamite Girls dolls were unveiled. He returns here as an homage to the Warhol superstar actor Joe D’Alessandro, a very handsome guy that was part of the Warhol inner circle back in the late 60s and early 70s. He does indeed look like him in his prime, and the outfit channels early 70s hippie style transformed into modern dressing fare. For me, he was an instant reminder of a childhood comic figure, Blek Le Roc, an American hunter from the revolutionary era. I already have two gorgeous blonde Audens, so will skip this lottery. His sweater’s back is cyan (due to having an opening to facilitate his dressing). Love both the corduroy jacket (the scale is awesome) and the distressed effect on the pants.

The final two Magia 2000 dolls for their collaboration with Integrity Toys are revealed!

I do not thing anyone was expecting that the remaining two dolls from the Magia 2000/ Integrity Toys collaboration would appear together, but here they are. W Club members received the corresponding email which revealed the two dolls, with characters from NU Face. The fact that the designers picked these particular sculpts sparked a flurry of comments and conversations in forums, groups and social media. One of the two specifically, Colette, drew a lot of ire, not only for being the 2.0 version (which had so far been used only in the first release of the new Colette sculpt), but also for its appearance. More on that later on. Here is what the designers, Gianni and Mario, said about the dolls:

For the final two dolls of our capsule collection, we wanted to continue with the concept of “day-to-night” fun!

We know how much IT collectors love to play with their dolls, undress them and switch accessories and clothing pieces, therefore, we opted to embrace this facet of collecting as much as possible. We were given the chance to design for two NU. Face characters and we couldn’t be more excited at the opportunity to challenge ourselves by creating extravagant looks for this highly prized, modern, and younger doll collection.

We also jumped at the chance to have Colette and Karolin appear in never-used-before skin tones/hair color combos and incorporate details inspired by the last two cities of the Italian tour, Milan and Rome!"

-Mario & Gianni, Magia 2000

Let’s check out both dolls, whose majority were available through a lottery for the W Club (which I am happy to say have been picked to buy in the lottery), and a small percentage of their edition will be available to the public when they arrive at the IT warehouse sometime in late spring/early summer of 2023.

Face top model Colette Duranger makes a flash appearance on the catwalk, modeling gorgeous fashion pieces that combined, create a mini "day-to-night" wardrobe! She is the perfect muse for designers and drives all the influencers crazy with her posh looks!

Included:

• 12.5-inch articulated doll with rooted hair;

• Black gabardine high-rise culotte pants;

• White satin sleeveless cropped top with rhinestone neckline;

• Over-the-top jacket with feathery "lashes";

• Mesh sleeveless cropped top with applied rhinestone deco (can be worn alone or as an overlay with the satin top above);

• Glittery micro-sequined mermaid skirt;

• Golden belt with matching, detachable purse;

• Golden chrome ruched "leather" high-heeled boots;

• Pair of golden chrome chunky heel shoes;

• Oversized sunglasses with Magia 2000 carry case;

• Magia 2000 black mesh tote;

• Drop faux-diamond earrings;

• Chunky cuff bracelet with matching faux-diamond accent;

• Golden signet ring;

• Pair of manicured hands;

• Alternate pair of golden chrome "gloved" hands;

• Doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

I was not a fan of the original version of the Colette new sculpt when it came out during the Supermodel convention (check link in the introduction). The revamped 2.5 version is the best Colette sculpt and I have one. So this doll had me in a conundrum: I really wanted to have all the dolls from this collaboration in my collection, but not liking a sculpt poses a serious problem. The golden make up tones she is sporting did not help the situation either. The make up also drew a lot of hate from people online, many being people of colour protesting that it is always the dark skinned dolls that get the garish, bold or metallic make up, while the lighter skinned ones get the softer tones to look more natural and lovely. Exhibit A is of course Dominique from the 2021 convention (which is a doll I love, in major part because of her make up). My humble opinion is that the truth is somewhere in the middle: yes, it is not fair that darker skinned dolls get this treatment, but on the other hand, bold and metallic colours do look better on them (and pigments have to be stronger to show properly on darker skin). A counter argument of course could be that her golden make up could have been applied more delicately, like the one on 24K Erin Salston from the Fairytale convention. It would have probably looked more appealing - at least to my eyes. The way it is designed in the prototype reminds me of the ancient Egyptian funerary masks found on mummies, which you could either say could be an inspiration or a bad look. Further more, combined with platinum white hair, instead of say a black afro or a more natural hair look, compounds the problem. I love the outfits (two!) she comes in, and the many possibilities in combining the various bits and pieces (despite the clash of gold and silver/white of some of them), but the doll is somewhat problematic - even more so considering it was designed by white cis gay male people. The doll was shown in an accompanying video with the designers being interviewed by Carol Roth and looked quite better in real life. Which of course does not negate the inherent problem it seemingly has.

The Story:

Fourth and final in a series of dolls created especially for Integrity Toys, each figure and doll in this series will take fans on an ultra-creative tour of some of Italy's most iconic venues and festivals, as seen through the eyes of fabulous design duo Magia 2000!

With a long history that spans more than 28 centuries, Magia 2000's tour of Italy concludes with a thrilling final stop at the center of it all, the "Eternal City"; Rome! Also called "Caput Mundi" (Capital of the World), Rome is generally considered to be the cradle of Western civilization. Famous artists, painters, sculptors, and architects made Rome the center of their activity, creating masterpieces throughout the city. In 2019, Rome was the 14th most visited city in the world, with 8.6 million tourists, the third most visited in the European Union, and the most popular tourist destination in Italy.

For this final stop, NU. Face top model Karolin Stone makes a most memorable appearance in Rome just in time for the Rome Film Festival, a yearly affair that is attended by hottest actors and directors in the film industry! Wearing a look inspired by some of the architectural details of one of the city's most famous landmarks, the Trevi fountain, Karolin's look can transform from an extravagant cocktail look to a show stopping Grand Gala "entrance" moment! With such over-the-top, glamorous looks at her command, Karolin is sure to leave an undeniable mark in the history of Italian fashion!

Included:

• 12.5-inch articulated doll with intricately styled, rooted hair*;

• Pink, long sleeved off-shoulder "bonbon" mini-dress with embroidered and beaded embellishments on the skirt;

• Seafoam green tulle petticoat/underskirt (not shown);

• Floor length, show-stopping overskirt finished with ruffled details;

• Floor length, seafoam green lace veil with ruffle accents;

• Matching clutch purse with rhinestone accents;

• Pink stockings;

• Pair of thigh-high pink boots;

• Pair of pink chunky platform heels;

• Intricate choker necklace with three rows of "pearl" and rhinestone accents;

• Over-the-top, ultra-intricate chandelier earrings with rhinestone accents;

• Alternate, delicate earrings with "pearl" drop;

• Tiara/comb accessory with rhinestone accents;

• Chrome "silver" powder compact accessory;

• Matching chunky signet ring with rhinestone accents;

• Pair of manicured hands;

• Doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

*NOTE ABOUT KAROLIN'S HAIRSTYLE: Please note that Karolin's hair has been rooted to specifically create her elaborate hairstyle. If you opt to undo this hairstyle and take it down, we cannot guarantee that the full head will be rooted and some bald spots may be present. Undoing this hair style will void the warranty.

If it wasn’t for her grand baroque madonna style, with a bit of Moschino by Jeremy Scott Fall 2020 RTW inspiration, Karolin would have been left in the shadow of Colette. I love what the guys did with her, managing to make me actually want to by a Karolin doll (I really do not like her sculpt). Maybe Mario and Gianni should have made Karolin a dark skinned lady in her crinoline gown (Bridgerton anyone?) instead, she would have looked awesome with the pinks. She is a direct connection to their usual work, with all the pomp and decoration she has (including the madonna veil), while still remaining a production doll instead of an OOAK offering. I love both versions of the outfit (long and short) and the accessories are gorgeous - the Valentino boots and pumps alone are amazing (but would have been perfect if she had something more impressive on her head, like the ship True Royalty Vanessa had). Pure winner.

Stay Tuned Day 5: the Integrity Toys 2022 online event ends with a premiere and Jason Wu

The last day of the “Stay Tuned” online event had three dolls revealed: Integrity Toys made it look like the gala dinner of a normal convention, so we saw not one but two Jason Wu dolls. And there was also one NU Face doll, but instead of Jessy Ayala (who was noticeably absent throughout the event week), it was designed by David Buttry and Mark Tinkey

Despite the three dolls, we had only one series as inspiration: Sex And The City. The story goes that Lukas produced a new TV series named "Girl In The City", and we were also treated with clips from ITFTV: Integrity Toys Fashion TV, something like EW TV red carpet coverage. Giselle was the star of the new series, channelling Sarah Jessica Parker, while Aymeline, in a double appearance wearing two different Jason Wu looks, was on the premiere red carpet to support her.

The Story:

Watch out fashion lovers, real-life fashion designer Giselle Diefendorf is ready to add "actress" to her resume as she stars in "Girl In The City", a modern re-invention of popular romantic comedies from the early 2000s! It follows her very fashionable adventures in the city that never sleeps, as she tries to juggle her fabulous career as a top fashion critic and her complicated relationship with a fashion designer that she frequently needs to critique, oh and of course, her never-ending love affair with her lover's main fashion brand competitor- Manero! In the pilot episode simply titled "Hello Lover", you will fall in love with Giselle in the main role, just like we did!

Included:

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

• Black and white newsprint dress with shirring and rosette detail;

• Fascinator with veil and removable brooch;

• Black chrome earrings, ring, and bracelet with "stone" detail;

• Chrome clutch purse;

• Lace-up heels;

• Teal blue pumps with rhinestone detail;

• Shopping bag and shoe box accessories;

• Pair of regular FR hands;

• Alternate pair of long-manicured hands;

• "Stay Tuned" doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

So if this was a convention, one of the Aymeline ladies would have been the convention doll, the other the centrepiece and Giselle would have been one of the W Club event dolls - probably the souvenir one. She tries to emulate the famous Dior by John Galliano newspaper print dress that Carrie was wearing in Sex And The City but the dress has quite a different structure and the shoes look more like cheap Manolo knockoffs than the real thing (MANERO for Manolo, lol - btw Tony Manero is the name of the character John Travolta plays in Saturday Night Fever and Stayin’ Alive). Since I have seen better made shoe buckles from Integrity (and weirdly enough there is an example on the very next doll), that would look more like the ones on the original Manolos, it puzzles me as to why this choice was made - maybe lack of resources in the factory? They look bad. The doll is beautiful, with the trademark SJP hair in abundance - and it is the second Giselle we get this year.

The Story:

Ready to walk the red carpet at the "Girl In The City" Pre-Premiere screening, top-model Aymeline wears a classic Jason Wu gown, sure to land her on NU.MODE Magazine's "who wore it best" list!

Included:

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

• Jason Wu original multi-layered gown with ruching detailing at the bodice and ruffled neckline;

• Black satin high-heeled pumps with oversized buckles covered in tiny "diamonds";

• Drop pendant earring covered in "diamonds" and "stones";

• Navy blue "crystal" clutch purse;

• Pair of FR hands;

• Alternate pair of "pose" hands (not shown);

• "Stay Tuned" doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

Can anyone tell me why Aymeline has the original Hangisi Manolos while Giselle was left with a knockoff? LOL, cannot wait to see the two of them in a catfight for the pumps! A beautiful Aymeline, with red hair, that reminds me a bit of Androgyny Avantguard doll. The dress is not actually in his 2021 Fall collection but looks like a cross between a gown from that collection with an OOAK gown he made for Kristin Davis for the And Just Like That premiere (fits with this occasion perfectly, right?). She’s a catch - the price is the same as her previous incarnations and she has it all.

The Story:

Aymeline just adored the premiere episode of "Girl In The City" (well, what little she saw of it!) and now that the screening is over, like a well-choreographed ballet, she rushed to emerge in another breath-taking Jason Wu original and completely transformed her look, just in time to turn heads again for the Post-Premiere party! What could be more glamorous? Like a beautiful chameleon, her incredible transformation created a sensational fashion moment and we're all thrilled to be there for it!

Included:

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

• Jason Wu original evening gown with multi-tiered ruffles;

• Hot pink clutch purse;

• Hot pink opera-length gloves;

• "Diamond" necklace;

• "Diamond" stud earrings;

• Hot pink lace-up high-heels;

• Pair of FR hands (not shown);

• Alternate pair of "pose" hands;

• "Stay Tuned" doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

Even though the doll is named Jason Wu Collection Spring 2020, there is no such dress in that collection apart from a similar but quite different finale gown. W Club confirmed that Jason said this is the same 2012 gown worn by the first Net-A-Porter 10th anniversary exclusive doll (in chartreuse) back in 2017. I guess since they already had the pattern, they decided it looks close enough to name it 2020. The gorgeous doll reminds me a lot of the ITBE Higher doll, but (unfortunately) in a lighter skin tone. She would have looked so much better in light honey or latino. She compliments the red head perfectly, plus they will make an awesome trio with my NAP Midnight Garden blonde Aymeline.
