Integrity 2011 : FR2 main collection

I had the information much earlier in the year but I thought it would be best to post them alongside the complete collections from Integrity. It consists so far of two characters from FR (Elise and Dominique - with new sculpt) and a new one (Dasha, new sculpt) Integrity says about the line: 

FR2™ (pronounced "Fashion Royalty Squared"), is the latest addition to the Fashion Royalty® family of products by Jason Wu and the Integrity Toys design team. Keeping in line with the concept of bringing Fashion Royalty® to the next level of quality and collectability, this luscious and luxurious new spin off series is designed to showcase our designers' absolute dedication to detail and refinement. FR2™ fashion dolls feature a brand new, totally re-sculpted body with refined proportions for even more pose-ability and display/play possibilities than ever before! FR2™ is composed of new characters as well as older fan favourites that are sure to delight everyone by their beauty and sheer force of character (pun intended!). Just so you know, all dolls have rooted hair, eyelashes and removable hands.

My opinion: A gorgeous collection with great variety. amazing accessories and designs. I will try and secure Renegade Dasha in the lottery (hopefully) and maybe try and get Impossibly Beautiful Dominique Makeda later in the year because she is gorgeous but expensive. Their prices are way up and make them that much harder to get, not to mention their popularity. The Caucasian dolls sold out everywhere.

Integrity 2011 online event: event doll

In conjunction with the 2011 Toy Fair Online Unveiling Event, Integrity offers an exclusive doll. So the 2011 Online Event-Exclusive is Giselle Diefendorf as Night Scape. She has wine colored highlights in her long dark rooted hair and blue eyes. Her black "leather" ruffled jacket, close fitting knitted top and shorts fit with her matching black pump shoes. Simple black stud earrings complete the ensemble.


Night Scape Giselle Diefendorf™ Dressed Doll
Toy Fair 2011 Online Exclusive
Limited Edition: TBA 
Estimated Arrival: Late June 2011
Suggested Retail: $110.00 US 





After last year's two doll offering (and their gorgeous outfits) this one looks plain. I know Giselle is really popular with collectors but the two tone hair and plain outfit made me refuse her. I do love the jacket - the front is incredibly detailed. The shoes are nice too.

Integrity 2011 online event: FR2

The FR2 collection is the more expensive version of Fashion Royalty dolls, with a new taller body with better articulation and shape and more detailed and accessorized fashions. As a major collection, the main one for the year, was debuted earlier, on the online event there was two more dolls to complete the picture. 



The Minimalist Dasha™ Dressed Doll
FR2 Collection
Limited Edition of 300 Dolls Worldwide
Suggested Retail: $175.00 US
Estimated Delivery: Early Third Quarter 2011







Grand Gesture Dominique Makéda™ Dressed Doll
FR2 Collection
Limited Edition of 300 Dolls Worldwide
Suggested Retail: $175.00 US
Estimated Delivery: Early Third Quarter 2011 





Gorgeous dolls and outfits - and amazing accessories. My two major objections - the feathered eye brows of Dasha and the bad make up of Dominique. If the last one had a different, softer make up (with smoky grey blue eye shadow and purple red lips) I would get her in an instant.

Integrity 2011 online event: FR monograms

The Monograms this time were a major dissapointment for the fans. Having already received a mini collection of two gorgeous dolls and one accessory set earlier in the year, the expectations were great. So imagine everyone's reaction when they saw that only three dolls, each a variation on the same concept were presented:



Having in mind that the sculpt is only one, having the same doll and outfit in three different colour variations is a bit risky. And having in mind that Monograms are supposedly the couture edition of FR, this one comes as a let down. So let us consider them as basics. Gorgeous and expensive ones.
