The IFDC 2020 dolls were unveiled - Poppy goes Vegas!

As with many things this year, the 2020 IFDC Convention was delayed until next year due to the ongoing pandemic. What was not delayed (well, not much, considering), is the set of dolls based on this year's theme that were already designed and made. David Buttry and Vaughn Sawyers created a collection of four Poppy Parker dolls based on this yeat’s IFDC theme and they were revealed first to the would-be attendees and then to W Club and the rest of the world. As usual, a portion of the total edition size of each doll has been set aside for the W Club, while the bulk goes to the people that had registered for the convention.

Am I the only one getting Monaco Royale Vanessa vibes from this one? She’s Vaughn’s design, inspired by his 2003 IFDC Midnight In Monaco Véronique doll. The gown is a bit awkward for Poppy, as if she’s into her mother’s dress to play. Cute but pass. Lady Luck of course brings to mind the “Luck Be A Lady” song from the Guys And Dolls musical.

She’s the yang to Sizzling in Paris yin, so she’s probably designed by David Buttry. Beautiful doll and a very showgirl-y outfit. If it only had more feathers instead of tulle! Love the mask!

Miniature cocktail accessory;

Doll stand;

Certificate of authenticity.

For me she’s hands down the most beautiful of the bunch. And despite the weird style of the cape, I like the outfit too, although I’d rather it had a shawl collared cape. Missing a necklace though - just imagine a pearl chocker with a jewelled clasp. This one was probably designed by Vaughn.The title brings to mind Rita Moreno singing (dubbed by Leona Gordon) “We Kiss In The Shadow” from “The King And I” film. The doll does look like a young Rita, no?

She’s obviously a David Buttry design, bearing lots of his favourites and things we have seen before in different iterations (like the mesh dress). Beautiful doll and lovely colours. The tote bag rocks! And of course the name references the Viva Las Vegas! Elvis Presley film, while the doll surely brings to mind the inimitable Ann Margret.

Iselin: a new sculpt for The Jason Wu Collection as an exclusive iT Direct lottery

W Club informed tis members that they get first hands on an IT Direct right-to-buy lottery for a new doll from The Jason Wu Collection. She is a new sculpt, named Iselin, probably after the model Iselin Steiro, who is a Norwegian fashion model. She begun her career in 2003, has even been in a David Bowie video and is now co-designer of an underwear line. She has not appeared in a fashion magazine or ad since 2018.

A new sculpt eh? First of all, I don’t think she remotely looks like the real Iselin. At least not with this make up. Maybe a repainter could make the sculpt look more like the real model (who is more good looking then the doll). She does remind me a lot of Elyse Jolie: the cheekbones, the nose and lips, the small eyes. And she also reminds me of Melania Trump, which is not good.

The dress: tulle ballgown with straps and crystal embroidery - groundbreaking. Seriously, how long are we going to be getting bland Jason Wu originals with minimal accessories for exorbitant prices? This smacks money grab to me and nothing else. She does not even have the velvet skin to justify the price. What next? Probably a doll with a miniature faucet, from the new line that Jason does for Brizo. The gown was the finale dress for his Fall 2018 Collection, worn on the runway by Kiki Willems.

An Angel has landed: the first W Club Doll for 2020 is unveiled!

Poppy Parker is again the first W Club Doll , just like last year. Unlike last year, we waited till August for the unveil - it was June in 2019. I understand that with the pandemic there are bound to be delays and problems, but dolls keep piling up with no room to breathe between releases and arrivals and invoices. Imagine what would be happening without the pandemic!

This Poppy Parker is special, as she’s the first one officially moving to the 70s after her modelling career ended. And she became a TV star in a big hit tv series. Her style and “Undercover Angel” moniker leave no room for doubt of course: she’s channeling Farrah Fawcett from Charlie’s Angels! She’s a mini gift set, with two outfits and will arrive this winter.

What a gorgeous doll. I grew up with Charlie’s Angels on TV and loved all actresses starring in it. Farrah was the epitome of a 70s beauty, with her blonde feathered hair and tan, athletic body. Mostly known for her looks and not her fashion style, she nevertheless influenced lots of women back then. And lots of boys, judging from her record-breaking bathing-suit poster sales.

The two looks are gorgeous. The first one is definitely mimicking one that she wore, as shown in the photo below. The second one, although typical of the era, is not corresponding to any of her outfits I could find. The one that comes near enough is the sequinned jumpsuit from a promo photo for the series, seen also below.

I remember seeing the convention 2017 Style Lab blonde Poppy and wanting to have her mostly for the hairstyle that reminded me of Farrah, now here it is again on a proper Angel Poppy. Bravo David! After the accessories photo, I put a slideshow with more Farrah Fawcett photos, some are the inspiration behind the poses of Poppy. Enjoy!

The return of Jem And The Holograms for their 35th anniversary!

Jem And the Holograms, the cult classic 80's cartoon is celebrating its 35th anniversary and Integrity Toys, in collaboration with Hasbro, is going to be part of this milestone celebration. The first release is the "Flip-Side" duo gift set that will allow fans to transform Jerrica Benton into glamorous rock star JEM in just a few simple steps. The designer is Vaughn Sawyers, who designed the previous JEM AND THE HOLOGRAMS collectibles. Alain Trembley has designed the "surprise reveal" collector grade packaging, which pays homage to the original vintage line once opened. The doll with the two busts is kind of expensive (we got a doll with two extra busts and two dresses for $200 with the Faces of Adele giftset), but I guess they are banking on the collectible value of this for Jem fans.

Jem dolls are not part of my collecting experience but, as I was a teen in the 80s, I’m really familiar with the series and the fashions and appreciate the nostalgia. The set looks gorgeous and really faithful to both series and the corresponding vintage Jem doll collectible, as can be seen by the inclusion of the two different necklaces - that’s attention to detail. I’m sure fans love it. Pity they use the Jerrica sculpt for both dolls and not the Jem one for one of them - kind of misses the point, no?

For those who will want to complete Jerrica's body and create a complete second doll to redress in other outfits,Integrity Toys will be offering a completer pack to the right-to-buy lottery winners to purchase separately. Information about this will be sent to those who are selected in the right-to-buy lottery.

While the majority of the edition size (500 of the 600 total pieces) has been reserved for the W Club exclusive members-only right-to-buy lottery, a small quantity of dolls will be available for pre-order later this month exclusively from Sideshowtoys.com. The Sideshow portion will be made available to the general public on a first-come, first-served basis and will retail at the original retail price of $250 USD plus shipping, once the W Club lottery has ended and the winners have been announced. No exact date for this is available yet.

The upgrade dolls for the LEGENDARY Integrity Toys 2020 convention have been revealed and look fab - as sketches at least

As you might have read or heard by now, this year’s Integrity Toys convention, named LEGENDARY, will be held online only, due to the pandemic. There was a huge kerfuffle with registering for it, as the website crashed under the onslaught of potential attendees and the whole situation was sorted out during the following week. An online convention certainly gives more people the chance to attend, as it is easier for people outside the US, so the amount of people trying to grab hold of a ticket must have been overwhelming (I tried and did not make it, reaching only the pay now button stage). But, W Club members have the opportunity to attend anyway, as they can register for the two (instead of the usual one) upgrade dolls available for the convention, plus they can register for the online W Club event as well, thus gaining access to the online events of the convention too. Sketches of the two dolls have been released and they look elegant, chic and very promising.

This one is of course based on La Petite Robe Noire outfit from 2004, which is still quite sought after by collectors as the dress comes with four different pairs of shoes, four bags plus the scarf and glasses, making it more versatile. I just wish they had used the original Veronique sculpt as it is the 25th IT anniversary convention and it would make a fitting tribute.
