IFDC 2021 - two Poppy Parker glamour ladies for the final legendary event

The last ever IFDC was supposed to take place last year, then it got moved to this year due to the pandemic, but alas it was not meant to be again - the event did not take place live and the two dolls were revealed to attendees and W Club members at a later date. While attendees got their dolls plus the chance to order additional ones, club members could take part in a lottery for the right to buy them from the club allocated quantity. Both dolls are slight variations, mainly in colour and skin tone, from dolls we have seen before, but they are still gorgeous.

This is obviously a colour and skin tone variation of Masquerade Magic from IFDC 2020. Beautiful combination of her dark skin tone with the warm and vibrant orange of her suit. Not crazy about her lip colour though - a burnt orange or a warm darker red stain would have looked so much better. And a pair of more glammed up shows would be preferable - i.e. rhinestone covered pumps.

This one looks more original but definitely has her origin in Sizzling In Paris Poppy from the Model Traveler 2020 collection. I’d love to have the outfit to dress up Ginger in this and pose her next to my Paris Poppy. This is the one I’d buy if I had the funds.

The convention doll that no one knew existed - Legendary Status Agnes silver version

I bet that most, if not all, people that have been to conventions know pretty much every single doll, outfit and accessory officially available there, by the time the event comes to an end. Even dolls that have not arrived on time are announced with all the usual accompanying pomp and circumstance, no matter that they are not in the hands of attendees at reveal time. So it was with great surprise that W Club members saw an additional convention doll, a silver variant of the Legendary Status Agnes that was the face on the convention doll boxes and was available to all for pre-order. Colouring is not the only difference between the two dolls however: the new version is only available to attendees for pre-order now and, if any are left, the remainder will be given as a lottery to W Club members. Weird? Yes. I’ve read countless theories on why this doll appeared now but that is all that they are, and will remain - theories. Unless you are an Integrity Toys employee, you know nothing, like that Jon Snow guy. I will say this though: in the current climate within the IT doll collectors, this will not win any points for the company. Money though - that’s another thing.

Legendary Status

Agnes Von Weiss™ Dressed Doll (Color Variation)

Official Integrity Toys 25th Anniversary Doll

Limited Edition: 600 Dolls

Estimated Arrival: Summer 2021

Retail Price: $175.00

**2020 Main Package Convention Holder Limited Offer**

Head Sculpt: Agnes

Body Type: FR 6.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: FR White

Hair Color: Sterling

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

Quickswitch: No

Included:

12.5-inch fully articulated doll with rooted hair styled in an intricate ponytail, as well as hand-applied eyelashes;

Ultra-luxurious mirror "jeweled" gown with dramatic silver asymmetric overskirt and draped accents;

Bespoke "jewel" clutch purse;

Especially designed "stocking-shoes", micro-crystal covered stockings with built-in shoes;

High-contrast faux-diamond and faux-amethyst adorned jewelry set (earrings and two assorted rings);

Pair of hands with modern French manicure;

Alternate pair of grip hands;

Doll stand;

Certificate of authenticity;

This is how the doll commemorating the 25th anniversary of Integrity Toys should have looked from the beginning. This is the doll that should have been in the package, the one that should have been available to the club instead of that other one. She’s everything the other one is not. I did not pre-order the original one but this one? In a heartbeat. Wonder if I will ever be able to own her.

P.S. Special thanks to Joshua for the help with the post.

Integrity Toys Legendary 2020 Convention day 3: The Jason Wu Gala and convention doll

And we finally reached the finale of the convention, which is the Saturday night gala, with Jason Wu as a special guest. Jason appeared on our screens and had a nice talk with Carol, reminiscing about how he started with doll design and Integrity Toys and it was so nice to see how he’s still passionate about the dolls, despite having a big real fashion house of his own now. One titbit we got from Jason was that Adele’s original sculpt was based on Erykah Badu, way before Fashion Royalty debuted. He also gave us information on a new doll but we have it under wraps for a few days more. The winners of the design competition were revealed: photography (Lester Javier), styling (Ramiro Rivas) and diorama (Lani Billitti). And, closing the convention in a fantastic way, here are the two gala dolls - the centerpiece and the convention doll, which, surprisingly, is not either Elyse or Agnes (btw, the Agnes you saw on my first post for the convention will be the 25th Anniversary Doll and will be released later this year).

Item # 91481

Haute Desire

Dania Zarr™ Dressed Doll

The 2020 Integrity Toys 25th Anniversary Convention: Legendary

Fashion Royalty Saturday Centerpiece

Limited Edition: 600 Dolls

Head Sculpt: Dania Zarr

Body Type: FR 6.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: Hungarian

Hair Color: Chocolate Brown

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

Quickswitch: No

Integrity Toys sent a notice about the doll’s dress colour:

Important note: We noticed that during the presentation this evening, Alain commented that Dania's dress was blue; however, we checked with the design team and it is really more of a deep royal *purple*. Depending on your monitor/device calibration, this color might read differently, but in person, it is a deep purple tone. We wanted to alert you to avoid any confusion vis-à-vis what was said on our "virtual stage".

Dania looks gorgeous here, in a Sofia Vergara kind of way. The original inspiration is Most Desired Eugenia, one of the FR holy grails. The new incarnation looks better to me and I’m sure this will be a new grail doll.

Item # 12319

Celebration

Aymeline™ Dressed Doll

The 2020 Integrity Toys 25th Anniversary Convention: Legendary

The Jason Wu Collection Saturday Official Convention Souvenir

Limited Edition: 600 Dolls

Head Sculpt: Aymeline

Body Type: FR 6.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: Light Honey

Hair Color: Raven

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

Quickswitch: No

Velvet Touch: No

A new character debuts as the convention doll - and if she looks a bit familiar it is because the sculpt is the original Avantguard one, redone digitally in 1/6 scale. The name is probably referring to the known fashion model Aymeline Valade, but this look is totally Diana Ross. Unlike the debut of Karolyn Stone, this one was received enthusiastically. After the end of the presentation, main package ticket holders were invited on a zoom virtual after party, to celebrate the end of Integrity Toys first virtual convention. It was overall a great success, very different from a real one of course, but people still had a good time and got great dolls. If the presentations were live, like webinars are, and not pre-recorded, it would have been even better. Maybe next time.

Integrity Toys Legendary 2020 Convention day 3: The W Club Event

With the convention this year being virtual, Integrity Toys decided to open up the W Club event to all members of the club. And that is the reason most of us managed to attend the convention, even though we did not have access to the convention collection, the style lab or any other event dolls apart from this one. Still though, it was really nice and a great experience, even online. The club event was great, all the Integrity Toys designers were in the pre-recorded presentation and talked about their history with the company and the lines they design for it. Some news from the talk: the LatinX character (not Isabella Alves)will be part of the Nu Face line. Mark Tinkley is going to revisit a popular brand that “lets people’s fantasies come to life” - could it be Nu Fantasy? Chris Stoeckel said there will be new characters added to the East 59th line up. Vaughn was really vague and did not give out anything but all designers, during the Q+A section agreed that costume and fantasy dolls are very possible. The centerpiece doll left everyone with their jaw on the floor when it was revealed in the beginning of the presentation, with Jessy commenting on it later on. This doll will be a preorder for the participants, as the number of attendees of this event is way bigger than the rest of the convention, so the doll will ship in Spring 2021. Add to that the delay of the arrival of the giveaway doll (it will ship late December - early January) and we will not see the actual dolls of this event for quite a while yet.

Wicked Narcissism

Eugenia Perrin-Frost™ Dressed Doll

The 2020 Integrity Toys 25th Anniversary Convention: Legendary

W Club Event Centerpiece

Limited Edition: TBD

Head Sculpt: Eugenia

Body Type: FR 6.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: Cream

Hair Color: Raven

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

Quickswitch: No

What an amazing doll! It’s not often that we get this much goth in Fashion Royalty and this one is done in a very elegant way, The original inspiration is Dark Narcissus Kyori Sato but the capable internet sleuths quickly discovered an Alexander McQueen Fall/Winter 2019 outfit that matches this one really well. Add the lace details from another Alexander McQueen outfit, this one from Fall/Winter 2018 collection and you get Eugenia’s outfit.

Item # 82132

Charmed Child

Ayumi Nakamura™ Dressed Doll

The 2020 Integrity Toys 25th Anniversary Convention: Legendary

W Club Event Souvenir

Limited Edition: 1369

Head Sculpt: Ayumi 3.0

Body Type: NF 3.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: FR White

Hair Color: Crimson

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

Quickswitch: No

This is a beautiful; Ayumi! The original inspiration is Miracle Child Ayumi, which is the first one ever released (and had the original sculpt). The dress is a bit simpler than the original and she does not have the gorgeous red bag that was with that giftset. The hat reminds me a lot of this year’s upgrade Eugenia. Her hair colour is gorgeous and fits her so much. I’m happy for our W Club doll.

Integrity Toys Legendary 2020 Convention day 2: The Poppy Parker Gala

The evening of the second day of the Integrity Toys Legendary Convention brought the Poppy Parker Gala event, with an online presentation by Alain Trembley and Carol Roth, featuring David Buttry, the line’s celebrated designer, as a special guest. He told us a lot about his history with the company (he started with the W Club), as well as the history of the creation of Poppy Parker. Apart from already known details, like the models who inspired the doll’s face and style etc., he also shared unknown stuff. like the email correspondence between him and Jason about the doll’s name. He also gave us the moodboards for next year’s Poppy collection, which will be all about Palm Springs - that means late 60s - early 70s and a very lounge, laid back chic modern aesthetic. He mentioned that Ginger and maybe Chip will be part of next year’s collection but also that we will see Ginger sooner than 2021. Also, all 2021 Poppy Parker dolls, apart from the convention ones, will be part of the Palm Springs line.

Commanding Attention

Poppy Parker™ Dressed Doll

The 2020 Integrity Toys 25th Anniversary Convention: Legendary

Head Sculpt: Poppy Parker

Body Type: Poppy 1.5

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: FR White

Hair Color: Light Blond

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

Quickswitch: No

There were many who had already guessed that one of the convention Poppy dolls would channel Center of Attention and indeed the centerpiece of the gala was Command of Attention. More glam, in a huge ballgown, and more mod in style - the early ones were more early sixties. Beautiful face and an eye catching colour combination we do not often see, Lovely bag.

Item # 77192

Lovely in Lilac

Poppy Parker™ Dressed Doll

The 2020 Integrity Toys 25th Anniversary Convention: Legendary

Poppy Parker™ Friday Souvenir

Limited Edition: 600 Dolls

Head Sculpt: Poppy Parker

Body Type: Poppy 1.5

Foot Sculpt: Articulated Ankle

Skin Tone: Japan

Hair Color: Dark Golden Blond

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

Quickswitch: No

It was a bit weird finding out that the giveaway doll of this event was inspired from Lilac Frost Poppy, as that doll never had the aura of being a grail or legendary. She is a beauty nonetheless. The fabric used on the vest and shorts is the exact same used on Lilac Frost’s suit. Her face is gorgeous and so is her blouse in this fabric. The monochromatic look may through some people off but it works great here.
