W Club 2021 registration period is open NOW and until March 8th!

It’s the W Club registration period! From today and until the 8th of March 2021, you can register for membership (one or many) of the W Club and join in! If you read the blog regularly, you already have a good idea of the variety of offerings and privileges that the Club confers to members. This year again the basic fee is $50.00, which is very good, especially considering that half of it is reimbursed as a coupon that can be applied towards any purchase from Integrity Toys from $99.00 upwards. I have been a member for over a decade now and it really is worth it even if you only collect one of the lines that Integrity Toys releases - you get the release information first, you get exclusive dolls, many made to order for the club members and lotteries only available to them. This, along with a relationship with a dealer that you must cultivate (I know it is difficult for new collectors but it is a must), will help you get the dolls you want in retail prices. And, if that does not work (we do not get the dolls we want always as the quantities are finite), there is always the W Club forum which is a great way to meet other club members, get help from more experienced collectors and find opportunities to purchase dolls from members in prices much lower than ebay).

There was, for the first time ever, a live presentation online, with Carol Roth (who owns and runs the club) and Alain Trembley from Integrity Toys (creative man extraordinaire) - you can see the reveal video here at any time.

Joining the W Club gives you the following perks:

• First-to-know Information & Sneak Peeks: Find out information ahead of the general public, get sneak peeks at upcoming dolls and more.

• 5 Guaranteed W Club Exclusive Dolls: Get guaranteed opportunities to purchase at least *5* additional exclusive W Club-only dolls during the year, including 2 Fashion Royalty/NU. Face dolls, 2 Poppy Parker dolls and 1 additional exclusive doll.

• Members-only Forum: Get exclusive access to the W Club members-only forum to meet and chat with other collecting enthusiasts.

• $25 Coupon: Get one $25 coupon per membership to be used towards any future purchase of $99 or more in the IT Direct Shopping Cart (Note: it can’t be used on memberships).

• Special Offers, Right-to-buy Lotteries & Contests: Get so many other W Club perks, like special offers, discounts, priority ordering windows, opportunities to enter right-to-buy lotteries, contests with real prizes, and more.

• Club-only Opportunities to Purchase Dolls & More: Get additional opportunities to purchase exclusive and limited dolls and more, beyond the 5 guaranteed W Club exclusive dolls and 3 upgrade dolls.

• Online Videos and/or Events: Get special access to any W Club only online event videos, special interviews, and events from the comfort of your home.

• Priority Convention Registration: Get a priority W Club-only registration window for the 2021 Integrity Toys Convention, ahead of the general public.

• Private Q&A Sessions: Get access to participate in private Q&A Sessions with Integrity designers.

• VIP Customer Service: Get special VIP email access directly to the W Club Liaisons for your collecting comments, questions and concerns.

• And of course there are always the upgrade dolls: you can get one, two or all three of them with your membership - let’s check them out!

What a gorgeous Nadja! She brings to mind a reworked London Show and this will be one of the reasons she will be popular with collectors. Another will be the lovely Alaia Tati Collection inspired outfit and accessories. And a third will be the two bags she carries: miniatures versions of the Dior Book Tote Bag (done in the Tati print to match the outfit) and Jacquemus Le Chiquito bag - one of the most popular designer bags lately. Her face is gorgeous, reminding me a bit of Rihanna. She’ll be coming home.

Elyse Jolie™ Dressed Doll

The Fashion Royalty® Collection

2021 W Club Upgrade Doll

"Pearl" Ring;

"Jewel" clutch;

Pink heels;

Pair of long manicured hands;

Alternate pair of "grip" hands;

Doll stand;

Certificate of authenticity.

Elyse is back after a hiatus that lasted all of 2020 - and as an upgrade doll, which is a first for this character, as for Nadja. The skin tone used is a first for Elyse too, she has never been released as an A-tone doll. Jessy said she is an homage to the famous supermodel Iman. She does remind me a bit of her, but her features are quite different. Previous dark skinned Elyse dolls were the second Net-A-Porter 10th Anniversary Jason Wu doll, Seduisante and Luminous, but this one has the darkest skin tone of all. The outfit has been hard to pin down regarding inspiration - many people were reminded of the Fall 2020 Oscar De La Renta collection but there is no dress there that matches Elyse’s. The accessories are beautiful - the bag is like the one Legendary Status Agnes has. I am on the fence about this one, but will probably cave in.

Item # 77209

Poppy Parker® in Palm Springs Collection

2021 W Club Upgrade Doll

Beaded dangling earrings;

Two bangle bracelets;

Ring;

Pair of Poppy Parker hands;

Alternate pair of grip hands;

Doll stand;

Certificate of authenticity.

This Poppy, apart from being an upgrade doll, is the first to be released from this year’s Palm Springs Poppy collection. She has the same screening as the Heads Up yellow haired Poppy from the 2019 convention Style Lab. She is the second Poppy with pink hair, after Ciao! Poppy, but this one has a lighter shade of pink. Many people commented that they did not have pastel coloured hair in the sixties - which is completely wrong! You can check some examples here, here and here - or just google it! She gives me Kim Novak vibes - but in an innocent, fluffy way, in contrast with the dark, ominous style of the famous actress. Even though I am still thinking about getting her or not, I most probably will.

Below you can find answers to some of the W Club’s most frequently asked questions.

You can start your registration by clicking the “Agree/Join” button at the top or bottom of this page. No registrations will be accepted after March 8th, 2021 at 5 PM Eastern time (New York time). No exceptions.

As a member, will I be guaranteed every exclusive item from the W Club?

Every member in good standing will be guaranteed the right to purchase at least 5 exclusive dolls, which will be offered at various times throughout the Club year, including the 2 Fashion Royalty / NU. Face exclusive dolls, 2 exclusive Poppy Parker dolls, and 1 additional exclusive doll during 2021.

Members that added upgrade dolls during registration are guaranteed those upgrade doll(s), as well. There will be other limited items which will be available by lottery or first-come, first-served opportunities. Please note that membership in the W Club does not guarantee access to Integrity Toys’ non-Club exclusive dolls and accessories. None of the dolls available through the Integrity Toys’ authorized dealers can be purchased through the W Club and are not W Club exclusive items.

How many 2021 Club memberships can I purchase?

The club is not restricting the number of memberships by collector or household. However, memberships are non-transferable and cannot be shared.

I live outside of the US. May I still become a member?

Absolutely! Membership is available to residents of all countries worldwide. Please note that all news releases and information will be released in English only.

I would like the W Club information sent to me via regular mail; can the club do that?

This is an online only Club and all members must have access to a valid email address.

What forms of payment does the club accept?

All payments are processed through Integrity Toys’ online shopping cart system. They accept Credit Cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover). They also accept PayPal. If you don’t have a PayPal account or a credit card, you might want to get a prepaid credit card, as it makes it easier for you to take advantage of their many offers.

Can you tell me more about the purchasing of exclusive W Club dolls?

2021 W Club members are guaranteed the right to purchase the exclusive W Club doll(s) from 2021 only (these dolls are separate from and in addition to the 3 upgrade dolls that you can purchase at registration). The number of W Club exclusive doll(s) produced is based on the number of pre-orders paid. If you do not pre-order the W Club exclusive doll(s) by the designated cut-off date (there is usually about a week-long ordering window), you forfeit your right to purchase that Club doll through the W Club. Also, Club doll(s) from previous years are NOT available to 2021 members- Club dolls are only available during that specific membership year.

Can you explain more about the W Club coupon?

Each W Club membership that you purchase will automatically add a special $25 coupon to your IT Direct Coupon Wallet that can be used towards ANY IT Direct shopping cart purchase of $99 or more online only during the 2021 W Club year! As long as your order is above $99 before shipping and tax, you can apply your coupon towards any order of your choice! Note that only a one coupon limit per order will be allowed.

Important exclusion: Coupons cannot be used to purchase additional memberships or gift certificates.

When will I be able to log into the W Club forum?

Once your membership has been processed, you will be emailed the “Welcome to the 2021 W Club” notice. This notice includes information on how to register and be approved for the members-only forum, contact emails, email information and more. Due to the number of registrations that they expect to be receiving at this time, it can take up to a week or more for the welcome email to be sent out and the club appreciates your patience until you are sent the notice.

NOTICE: The W Club Is Now In Transition

Until registration is finished, the club is in transition, so they will be sending updates to both 2020 members and new members. You may therefore receive emails twice.

But, even if you don't re-register, the club will keep you posted on any 2020 W Club exclusive dolls that you have pre-ordered when they arrive in 2021.

For the forum, your registration remains active until the 2021 membership registration period ends. They may also be cleaning up old threads and deleting old topics, etc., to freshen the forums for next year.

Anyone not re-registering will be removed from the forum immediately following the 2021 registration deadline.

It is possible that if the club system does not recognize your email, user name, etc., you may be accidentally deleted during their forum cleanup. If this is the case, just email the liaisons and they will get you reinstated ASAP.

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 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.

No pricing or other details like edition number, skin tone etc. were available, although rumour is that she will retail near $200.00, She reminds me a lot of Billie Eilish - who has released two different dolls in her likeness so far.

The 5th and final W Club doll is unveiled - A Fashionable Legacy Violaine Perrin!

It was only a matter of days before we got the chance to see the 5th and final W Club doll, and here she is. Integrity Toys and designer Jessy Ayala give us Violaine Perrin in a tribute to A Fashionable Life Vanessa Perrin giftset. The doll and her outfits have elements of that mythical release, without being a direct copy or revision. The set is not as rich as would be expected in that price range, even with the matching mini-carry case packaging that is similar to Sister Moguls gift set from 2016 and will have similar weight as a normal FR gift set package.

Item # 82128

A Fashionable Legacy

Violaine Perrin™ Gift Set

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

Certificate of authenticity;

I am always a sucker for pale skin combined with raven hair and this lady is no exception, especially now that she is channeling AFL Vanessa. Remember she is not the first Nu Face to get the AFL acronym and colours- A Fabulous Life Rayna Ahmadi was first! The doll itself is perfection, I would not change a thing, except maybe give her a spit curl like her older sister. The clothes are nice in design but lack in execution - some finishes at the jacket look really bad in the photos (if that’s the look of a “raw hem” better leave altogether) and the painted visible seam effect reminds me of Mattel production practices, not Integrity Toys. For this price, these issues should be non-existent.

The jacket seems to take its initial inspiration from this Maison Margiela Fall 2020 one (designed by John Galliano) and then use the original AFL pinstripe suit combined with the original AFL red skirt with visible stitching detail. The romper underneath could be from anywhere, it just mirrors the jacket’s style. The tulle plus the polka dots are the connection between this babydoll dress with the original AFL’s gown. Neither the shoes, jewellery or luggage are remotely connected. The letter choker is a lift from the Versace Fall 2015 one, and many designers have had similarly styled chockers at one time or another. The monogrammed suitcase is a colour variation of the one Fame And Fortune Vanessa had. I am sure we have seen the orthogonal purse before as well. Would have preferred a wheeled upright cabin suitcase like the one the first Elyse had.
