Two new Close Up Fashion Royalty dolls are unveiled!

The last Fashion Royalty dolls we had seen apart from convention, was Elyse back in January. There was an online presentation of two close-up dolls from the Fashion Royalty collection, designed by IT designer Jessy Ayala. Technically these two belong to the FR Maison collection (as per their story descriptions that say they model lingerie from that line), but it is not mentioned in their characteristics at all. I used to think that Close Up was a term used by Integrity Toys for the dolls that are neither basic nor fully dressed and accessorised. - as they are usually wearing robes over lingerie or swimwear and have been a staple of the company since the early Fashion Royalty days. But Alain explained that the term is inspired by the close up shots of models for cosmetics brands - and then I checked previous releases and saw that there were basic dolls released with robes as well. These two ladies were based on those early Veronique and Adele dolls - but the choice of characters was a bit surprising, and frankly, quite welcome. The dolls will be mainly given to the W Club through a lottery, while a small portion will be allocated to the general public next year, when the dolls have been shipped to the USA.

So nice to see Isabella making her second ever appearance, and outside a convention too! She looks gorgeous here, much better than her first version. For me, this is like the type version of the sculpt, how I would have imagined Isabella to be. And this is the reason I entered the lottery for her. I do not have this sculpt yet in my collection, so it would be perfect if she could be part of it. I like the outfit too, mainly the “robe” she is wearing, with the over the top puffed sleeves and the corset detail at the waist. She’s definitely channelling those early Close Up FR ladies!

I was never fond of Luchia’s second sculpt, neither liked her using Isha’s face at the beginning. I have only one from that period (the Madonna inspired Bewitching Hour) and was never tempted to get another. But this time, I want her. I really do. She’s being done justice at last. Channelling Cindy Crawford (or Zana Zhadrick, take your pick), she is breathtakingly beautiful and the dark version of the outfit we saw on Isabella only serves to enhance her beauty. I do not mind they are wearing a colour variation of the same outfit, I still want them both. I only wish they had a lower price to begin with. And no, the clothes hangers and the W necklaces do not begin to justify it.

"Stay Tuned": the online event for Integrity Toys is announced - plus a new Poppy!

In mid July, Integrity Toys announced the initial details about their special online event that will take place in p;ace of the traditional online convention structure for this year only. Currently expected to take place sometime later this Fall (exact start dates will be shared closer to the launch of the special event), Integrity Toys will be breaking news about some new dolls that will be unveiled each day, which will be available to W Club members via a variety of methods (RTB lottery, made-to-order, etc.).

So this year’s theme is “Stay Tuned”: every doll shown during the event will be inspired by different TV show genres of the ’60s and beyond. Everyone in the W Club gets the chance to participate, no registration fee is required and nothing will be immediately time sensitive. No pre-registration fee is required to participate: all 2022 W Club members will be able to attend.

Here's what attendees can expect during this event:

Daily unveilings: a short “newsflash” and/or presentation each day unveiling a new doll or dolls from the various Integrity Toys brands (exact brands to be announced, not all IT brands will be present at the event);

Dolls will available via a variety of purchase methods: the dolls offered during the event will be made available either via a right-to-buy lottery or will be made-to-order, on a case-by-case basis. Depending on the purchase method of each doll, attendees will be guaranteed access to some items, while others will be more limited and available via the right-to-buy lottery method. Exact details will be outlined in each offer email on the day of release of each new event doll;

Limit one per membership: each product offered will be limited to either one pre-order per doll per membership, or one lottery entry per doll per membership, depending on the purchase method.

Stay Tuned... more details will be sent closer to the event. I am guessing this is to streamline the doll presentations and purchases, based on previous online conventions. Truth is that they tried to give the online events the feel of the convention but it never worked out. I hope this runs more smoothly and - since many dolls will be made to order - people will be more satisfied.

To kick things off, Integrity Toys gives us the first preview doll connected to this year’s theme; Poppy Parker as she would have looked had she starred in her very own TV series simply called “We Love Poppy” (I Love Lucy is the inspiration of course), at a time when every TV set in the nation was in black and white!

Designed by Integrity Toys designer Mark Tinkey (who for years has been closely working with David Buttry), this Poppy Parker doll features a special "grey gradient” colour scheme* to simulate the way an early 1960s TV audience would have seen her in their living rooms for the very first time. Every W Club member got the chance to pre-order this doll.

 *Note: Only this first doll related to the special event will be done in grey gradient; the other dolls will have various skin tones and coloration.

(deposit of $50.00 USD per doll to pre-order)

Purchasing this doll is a standalone bonus offer and does not include any other item from the special online event. However, there is no need to pre-order this item in order to participate in the event later this year.

The idea of the “grey” doll is not new of course. And no, I’m not talking about Monster High you people! If you remember, there was a similar version of Gene Marshall presented back in 2007, during the “Rare Deal” Gene Marshall convention, organised by Integrity Toys and Mel Odom. They had asked doll designers to make OOAK b&w doll clothes for Gene, to be auctioned off on dolls for charity during the convention - but nobody knew what the dolls looked like. The dolls turned out to be a grey-scale version of Gene (from this blog), much like Poppy looks like in this incarnation. Due to their being so rare, they are much sought after. JamieSHOW did a resin version for the 2015 convention and Gene’s 20th anniversary. Two years later they did a similar Trent for their “East Meets West" convention. It looks otherworldly but she’s beautiful and different enough to warrant getting her - if she was in normal colours, I would definitely pass. She does remind me of Lucille Ball back in the day and also has a hint of Wandavision about her! Mark Tinkey photographed her along other Poppies to show how she looks in real life.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Prototypes shown, final product may vary. "Screen test" sign and acrylic blocks in the accessory pictures are display props only and are not included with the doll. This collectible is meant for adult collectors ages 15 and up only.

Integrity Toys collaborates with Magia 2000 for their next capsule collection!

As I mentioned in my previous post, the W Club event presentation was double barrelled: after we saw the last doll of the Coven Couture collection, we were presented with the first one from the new collection of dolls - this one being the first of four dolls in the Integrity Toys X Magia 2000 Collaboration, designed by the talented duo behind Magia 2000, Mario Paglino and Gianni Grossi! I was lucky enough to meet the incredibly talented duo of Magia 2000 back in 2018, at the Italian Fashion Doll Convention, which they organise in Milan. They are amazing creators and awesome human beings and I am so happy that Integrity Toys is collaborating with them for an entire collection!

---

Celebrating 23 years in the doll world, Magia 2000, the artistic duo formed by fashion designer, Mario Paglino and graphic art director, Gianni Grossi, playfully began in 1999. After a few months, playing became collecting, which was soon followed by artistic passion. Their elegant, rich, fully detailed style, which takes a lot of inspiration from Italian couture, has been their distinguishing mark from the start.

Through the years, they attended almost 100 doll conventions around the world, traveling everywhere from Japan, the US, and all over Europe, promoting their brand and passion for doll customization, while generously donating several of their unique creations, which helped raise over $200,000.00 for various charities!

Magia 2000 was the first international design team to attend an Integrity Toys convention back in 2004 and won Judge’s and People’s choice awards at several design competitions afterward. In 2018, they were the first and only to host a Poppy Parker event outside of the US, welcoming designer David Buttry for the unveiling of the “Ciao!” Poppy Parker convention exclusive doll. Today, Mario and Gianni collaborate with various celebrities and brands and have been featured in multiple media outlets.

Italians are also leaders of the fashion industry and creativity is simply in our blood. We would love to invite fellow collectors on a fantastic journey through our land, to discover all that its famous venues and iconic events have to offer! For our first offering in the series, as Gianni is a fan of IT's male fashion figures, we wanted to launch with something new and unexpected from Magia 2000 and we are thrilled to bring you our vision of what Lukas Maverick would wear if he attended the world-famous Venice Carnival!" -Magia 2000

PUBLIC PURCHASING

More information on public purchasing will be sent closer to the figures' arrival, approximately later in Spring 2023.

The Story:

First 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!

This fantastic journey starts in the most unique place in the world: Venice! Entirely built over water, Venice becomes a symbol of eccentricity and glamour during its world-famous annual Carnival!

Lukas Maverick is putting his own modern, gender-fluid twist on carnival by wearing a flamboyant, elaborate costume inspired by the rare imported velvets and other exotic fabrics used over the centuries by Venetian costume designers to create the extravagant, lavish costumes worn by members of the Italian high society and aristocracy when attending the Carnival!

Mysterious and charming, foggy and sunny, the pure essence of Carnival and abundance. Lukas navigates the canals with his black mask on and only reveals himself in the middle of the party, flirting and seducing women and men alike with his fluid beauty and his charming dress, paying tribute to many iconic Italian fashion brands!

Included:

12.5-inch articulated fashion figure with partially rooted hair and flocked hair;

Floor-length green velvet hooded cape with lavish, contrasting custom-designed embroidery, designed to be reminiscent of the tint of the Venetian laguna colors;

Matching high-waist velvet pants;

Pink chiffon shirt with bouffant sleeves gathered at the wrist, built-in jabot and delicate black lace detail trim;

Sheer, black-ribbon neck tie;

Lion ring, paying tribute to the Flying Lion (the symbol of the city), which dominates the San Marco Square;

Pair of faux-diamond stud earrings;

Faux-pearl and faux-diamond brooch, a nod to the rich Venetian architecture and churches;

Italian designer-inspired logo clutch;

Pair of black velvet slipper loafers with intricate golden filigree design and "stone" accent;

Pink socks;

Venetian masquerade mask with black ribbon ties;

Pair of hands featuring black nail polish;

Figure stand;

Certificate of authenticity.

Such an incredible collaboration can only produce incredible dolls and Lukas does not disappoint! I love what Gianni and Mario have done with him, dressing him up in all that finery inspired by the venerable Venice Carnival! It also draws on current fashion trends - from Gucci to Arturo Obegero and others, channelling Harry Styles and Jared Leto but also all dandies who rocked similar looks in the past. Love the mask too and that it fastens on the doll, instead of being held with a handle in front of the face (it would never work on a doll). The second red headed Lukas (first one was Beauty, which has a similar vibe, albeit in a minimal, northern European style), he has a smouldering look with that eyeliner. Some club members said he reminded them of Red Johnny Mac from Jem.

Two complaints about the cape: 1. The fabric is like a terry cloth and ruins the luxury feel. Why not velvet There are thin velvets that can work in doll scale, we have seen them used by Integrity before. 2. The embroidery (inspired by the ceiling fresco decorations in the city’s mansions) should have continued along the bottom back of it. I know it was done for cost reasons but still. Love the black nails and also the awesome embroidered shoes. The details are so well taken care of - the ring is a lion because it is the symbol of Venice!

IMPORTANT NOTE: Prototypes shown, final product may vary. Acrylic blocks in the accessory pictures are display props only and are not included with the figure. This collectible is meant for adult collectors ages 15 and up only.

NU Fantasy Coven Couture collection closes the circle with Elements of Enchantment Korinne Dimas

This past Saturday, Integrity Toys did a live presentation for two dolls: the last doll in the Coven Couture series by Mark Tinkey as well as the first doll in the new Magia 2000 series for the line. Both dolls got collectors really excited, even though they will not be received until Spring 2023. Here we check out the Elements of Enchantment Korrine Dimas doll by Mark, who was present in the webinar, answering questions and showing us the prototype doll who looks amazing. The doll is a W Club lottery and, if any remain after that goes through, they will become available to the public - a thing I doubt as they are very popular dolls.

Item # 75030

Elements of Enchantment

Korinne Dimas™ Dressed Doll

NU. Fantasy™: The Coven Couture Collection

Edition Size: 1500

Expected Ship Date: Early Spring 2023

Head Sculpt: Korinne

Body Type: FR 6.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: FR Black

Hair Color: Dark Copper

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

MSRP: $220 + S & H

Special W Club Price*: $199 + 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 will be initially made available to the public and for purchasing extras at the MSRP.

*Special W Club pricing is limited to one per membership

Included:

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

Metallic cross weave organza gown with lavish beading and golden leaf embroidery, designed by Mark Tinkey;

Handbag with rouching detail and "gold" chain fringe;

Asymmetric serpent earrings with "stone" detailing;

Geode-inspired cuff bracelet with more "stone" detail;

Coordinating platform heels with metallic vine detail in hematite colored metal;

Pair of manicured hands;

Extra pair of "hand on hip" hands (also perfect for spell-casting!);

Doll stand;

Certificate of authenticity.

What a firring way to close the Coven Couture collection! Korinne looks amazing again, first time she is in a darker skin tone - she usually stays lighter. It suits the gorgeous dress to a T - I love the shape of it and the embroidery is fantastic. I’m all for green - if you want to sell me something, paint it green - and this olive shade is awesome. The only thing that worries me is the execution of the hip drape at the back - it does not look nice in the photos and it did not look nice on the presentation video. I hope this turns out better on the production dolls. She definitely channels Never Predictable Adaline King from the 2017 IFDC convention, designed by Vaughn Sawyers.

Her face looks amazing and the voluminous hair kept away from the face with the braids and gathering is well executed and avoids problems like Zuri had in the latest Meteor outing. I would have liked brown eyes instead of green though - would have given more of an Egyptian vibe. Mark said that Ancient Egypt was one of his sources of inspiration and I always like its elements if well Incorporated, like here. The curly hair, draping on the hips, gown shape, transparent fabric, plus those asymmetrical serpent earrings, are perfection. Well done Mark, not only for this amazing doll, but for the entire collection, which is one of the best ones Integrity Toys has done lately. I’m entering the lottery, are you?

IMPORTANT NOTE: Prototypes shown, final product may vary. Acrylic blocks in the accessory pictures are display props only and are not included with the doll. This collectible is meant for adult collectors ages 15 and up only.

Backstage with the Hommes: the new Monarchs Homme collection is here!

Integrity Toys and the W CLub had an online event Thursday to present three new Monarch dolls - it started at 3.00 am Greek time, which was not convenient at all. Dear Integrity and Carol Roth, could you please start doing your presentations again on Saturdays at a more convenient time for us (not all of Europe having to watch after midnight!), or at the very least on a Friday so that we do not have to think about waking up early for work the next morning. Also Vaughn mentioned that they are going to be doing more regular presentations for new stuff - but the actual production and delivery is still affected from global events.

There are two new characters, one of which is a brand new sculpt. The other new guy has the sculpt of Kyle Spencer from the American Horror Story: Coven collection. And the third is the Darius 2.0 sculpt. Also note that only Tae Min comes in the Monarch body. Vaughn did a great job of researching and adopting current trends. Two are dealer dolls (Darius and Tae Min) and Rashad is a lottery doll for W Club. Let’s check the guys out.

NEW CHARACTER

New Asian character and sculpt - even though there are at least two Asian sculpts forgotten and unused, Takeo Mizutani from Fashion Royalty and Kyu from Dynamite Girls. We need to see them both return! That said, this one is a smash. Apart from the messy hair (which I am certain will never come like this in the final production doll), everything looks amazing . The face is gorgeous, with the eyeliner giving him that extra something that made me pre-order (and confirmed).

His clothing is very on trend and the accessories are great - love the wi-fi icon on the beanie. Is that an Apple Watch? Only thing missing is a bag - and at this price point, it should have been included.

Item # 21015

Studio Sessions

Watch;

"Diamond" stud earring;

Certificate of authenticity.

This is the first time I like the new Darius sculpt - great face screening. I am not so sure about the hair though - I would have liked either less dense big braids that would start from the forehead fade, or much thinner braids like the Mattel Looks guy. He is the lovechild of Milli Vanilli and Lenny Kravitz.

His clothing is gorgeous, especially that tromp-l’oeil jacket that looks like he has two, when in fact it is only one, cleverly constructed. If only it had different colour selection. Again, great accessories but no bag. Shame.

Great re-use of the Kyle Spencer sculpt - which I did not like in its first incarnation. If he had shorter hair and a different style of facial hair, I might have entered the lottery. He reminds me a lot of Once Upon A Time’s Colin O’ Donoghue (Captain Hook). Will wait for his next incarnation.

He has the best accessory set of the bunch. Oh wait - you can actually get a bag in this price level - and give a W Club discount too! Come on Integrity, this sucks. hey all should have gotten bags.

Tae Min Jee and Darius Reid are only available through dealers!
