The debut of Dancing Queen Kylie at the FR: Nippon™ Collection

September 12, 2018

Integrity Toys just introduced Kylie™, a Misaki friend from the FR: Nippon™ Collection. The new doll is limited to an edition size of 300 dolls only. Kylie is a 12-inch plastic fashion doll with rooted hair and hand-applied eyelashes. She comes dressed with a dress and accessories include a purse, a ring, a bracelet, earrings and long platform boots. A doll stand is also included. Note: Kylie uses the Erin 1.0 head sculpt.

As the Misaki line is part of FR: Nippon, pricing and other details will be handled through their distribution channels and dealers. Kylie will be sold directly through the two US partners listed below only; Integrity Toys will not be selling the doll directly.

Azone is allowing priority pre-ordering from US and international customers through September 16th, 2018 at 10 PM Eastern time from either one of these sources:

Denise's Dolls

Fabric Friends Dolls

Note: After the September 16th deadline, remaining dolls will be offered on the Integrity Toys Japan website, maintained by Azone.

She’s a cute doll and I like her Chanel style bag and gorgeous disc earrings. If I collected Misaki I’d be thrilled to get her. What do you think?

Note: The doll pictured in the following images is a prototype. Final textures, fabrics and colors may vary slightly. Doll cannot stand alone, a doll stand is included. For adult collectors 15 years and up only.

First W Club doll for 2018 is unveiled - and it’s twins!

September 5, 2018

The W Club year officially begun in March for 2018, so everything has been coming out later than usual. That includes the W Club dolls, exclusively made for its members, a total of five for the year. The first one was teased a few days ago to members, then was revealed to be the Nu Face twins, Lilith and Eden. They are designed, like the main Nu Face line, by Jessy Ayala, with a press/newsprint theme. I’m not that crazy about them. The fashions look half done and the doll’s are ok but don’t scream “buy me” to me. They are quite different in style both to the Nu Face main line and the upgrade Rayna, which is weird but not really a problem. Don’t ask dealers, these are W Club exclusives, so if you’re not a member, wait till they start arriving early next year to get them on the secondary market. They are not a giftset but sold individually, so any member can buy either one or both twins. At $135.00 per doll, that’s $270 for both, quite a jump from the $200.00 that last year’s twin set (see what I did there?), which was more elaborate, cost.

Lilith is easily the better of the twins, with her dark hair, pale skin and red lips. If her eye make up was more interesting, I might have caved in. I already have Rock Wedding Lilith and Smoke And Mirrors Lilith, so this one barely compares.

Integrity Toys 2018 reveal pt.5: the event doll - Devotion Agnes Von Weiss

August 28, 2018

Every event has a doll dedicated to it and this year's Integrity Toys webinar was no exception. My haw literally dropped when the first photo of the incredible Agnes Von Weiss doll appeared on the screen, easily surpassing everything I had seen on the screen for the previous hour or so. She's a tour de force, a version of Agnes that is totally original but also has references to older ones, like High Gloss or Optic Verve. She's fierce and majestic, with her Gaultier Haute Couture Automn 2017 inspired ensemble (see it at the very end of the post). I'm happy she has the new sculpted glove hands. Her head jewellery can be worn as a necklace too! Preordered already! She's exclusive to the W Club members.

Integrity Toys 2018 reveal pt.4: Fashion Royalty - The Sacred Lotus collection

August 28, 2018

The last collection of the line up was Fashion Royalty. After last year's smashing La Femme collection, Jessy Ayala took the design reigns again and delivered a gorgeous collection, this time inspired by Bollywood. With Isha as the central character, the collection takes shapes, colours, textures and elements from Indian dress and translates them into modern clothes, mostly evening but with some daywear as well. Since La Femme was mostly daywear, it was only natural that evening attire would take centre place this time. The theme of returning characters continued with Kyori and Isha, who had been absent - Kyori for a couple of years, Isha since 2015. I love the collection as I am very fond of the Indian culture. Plus I have a special connection with India, having done two photo shoots with my dolls for Indian fashion magazines, which you can see here and here. The dolls are available through dealers except Vanessa, who will be an IT Direct lottery later in the year. Let's check out the dolls one by one.

Item # 91441
Goddess
Tatyana Alexandrova™ Doll
Fashion Royalty®:
The Sacred Lotus Collection
Approx. Ship Date: October
Suggested Retail: $155.00 US
Available Via Dealers
Edition Size: 950

Head Sculpt: Tatyana 2.0
Body Type: FR 6.0
Foot Sculpt: High-heeled
Skin Tone: Japan
Hair Color: Pale Blonde
Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied
Quickswitch: No

Included:

12.5-inch fully articulated doll with rooted hair and hand-applied eyelashes;
Chiffon and net (with interwoven metallic thread detail) draped dress with lace-trimmed edges;
Rose gold chrome pumps;
Multiple "gold" bracelets with white "pearls"/peridot green "stones";
Indian-inspired chandelier earrings with white "pearls" and peridot "stones";
Small purse with metallic gold flecks and "gold" metal handle;
"Gold" ring with peridot green "stone";
Doll stand;
Certificate of authenticity.

What a gorgeous doll! This one opened the FR presentation and took my breath away. One of the best Tatyana versions ever, her screening gives a fresh look to the character (and golden fingernails!) while the outfit is simply amazing. It is probably inspired (cough) by a Spring 2013 Marchesa outfit (the original was shiny grey). The jewellery is totally indian while the bag and shoes complement the ensemble perfectly. Goddess indeed! She was preordered in the blink of an eye.

Item # 91442
Karma
Kyori Sato® Dressed Doll
Fashion Royalty®:
The Sacred Lotus Collection
Approx. Ship Date: October
Suggested Retail: $155.00 US
Available Via Dealers
Edition Size: 850

Head Sculpt: Kyori 2.0
Body Type: FR 6.0
Foot Sculpt: High-heeled
Skin Tone: Latino
Hair Color: Bronze with Golden Highlights
Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied
Quickswitch: No

Included:

12.5" fully articulated doll with fully rooted hair and hand-applied eyelashes;
Asymmetrically draped jacket dress with black and navy blue design woven in fabric, black satin trim detail;
Black chrome knit bodysuit sweater with asymmetric neckline;
Thigh-high black faux-leather boots with shiny faux-leather toe contrast detail;
Black slim sunglasses;
Indian-inspired chandelier earrings in "gold" with jet black "stones";
"Gold" statement ring with black "stones";
Small black "leather" tote bag with "gold" metal bar handles;
Sculpted gloved hands in black with gold stud detail;
Doll stand;
Certificate of authenticity.

Aaaaand she's back! Missing since 2016 and her eye-decal version, Kyori makes a much anticipated return in the Fashion Royalty collection, with a daring Fall/Winteer 2017 Gaultier Couture inspired outfit. The asymmetrical outfit successfuly integrates Indian and couture influences (the tuxedo lapel versus the sari drape for example) and becomes more versatile by removing the bodysuit to transition from day to evening. She has the most discreet jewellery but the thigh-high boots more than make up for it. She does remind me slightly of Vice Kyori but she is the new sculpt and the colours do look lighter than the old ones. Vice was closer to Latina, this one is closer to Indian, but of course the styling and outfit make the difference. She's coming home too!

Item # 91443
Resurgence
Natalia Fatalé® Dressed Doll
Fashion Royalty®:
The Sacred Lotus Collection
Approx. Ship Date: December
Suggested Retail: $155.00 US
Available Via Dealers
Edition Size: 950

Head Sculpt: Natalia 2.0
Body Type: FR 6.0
Foot Sculpt: High-heeled
Skin Tone: Sunkissed
Hair Color: Silver
Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied
Quickswitch: No

Included:

12.5" fully articulated doll with fully rooted hair and hand-applied eyelashes;
Violet satin turban;
Floor-length cape with geometric design (raspberry and black) with "jewel" closure at neckline;
Cream-colored twist bandeau top (light gold threads in fabric);
Stone gray wide-leg trousers;
Round handbag in violet faux-leather with metallic violet faux-leather trim and "gold" metal handles;
Rounded large sunglasses with dark raspberry frame;
Large Indian-inspired chandelier earrings in "gold" with fuchsia "stones" and indigo enamel;
Multiple bracelets in "gold" metal with fuchsia "stones" and cream enamel;
Statement ring in "gold" metal with fuchsia "stone" and indigo enamel;
Metallic light plum pumps with micro croc texture;
Doll stand;
Certificate of authenticity.

Resurgence indeed! What an impressive Natalia! Jessy said that Miranda Priestley from The Devil Wears Prada, was a partial inspiration for this one. I see Victoria Beckham too. The Gucci turban makes an appearance here, even though its real-life counterpart did raise lots of cultural appropriation complaints when it debuted in the Mens Fall/Winter 2018 collection. But that was mostly because it was shown on white models and because it was a copy of the Sikh turban. This one looks more african to my ignorant eyes. She's coming home!

Item # 91445
Divinity
Isha Kalpana Narayanan™ Doll
Fashion Royalty®:
The Sacred Lotus Collection
Approx. Ship Date: September
Retail: $155.00 US
Available Via Dealers
Edition Size: 850

Head Sculpt: Isha
Body Type: FR 6.0
Foot Sculpt: High-heeled
Skin Tone: Hungarian
Hair Color: Auburn Brown
Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied
Quickswitch: No

Included:

12.5" fully articulated doll with fully rooted hair and hand-applied eyelashes;
Off-white tulle gown with light gold sparkle threads woven in and floral embroidered organza;
Off-white belt with detailed "gold" buckle;
Long off-white satin gloves;
"Gold" and "diamond" hair jewel;
"Gold" and "diamond" statement earrings;
Multiple bangle bracelets in "gold"/"diamonds";
Large "diamond" statement ring;
Light "gold" metallic clutch with "jeweled" chain detail;
Clear/light metallic "gold" pumps;
Henna tattooed forearms and hands;
Doll stand;
Certificate of authenticity.

Important Note: The jewel on Isha's nose is not-removable. Removing the jewel will damage the doll permanently and void the warranty.

I should be happy with Isha, but I'm not. I already have Style Notes from 2015 and she is much better than this version, minus the henna tattoos. Her outfit is the biggest culprit as it is white, which in India is the colour of mourning. No Bollywood star would ever wear white if she wasn't going to a funeral. It does not even have bridal connotations, as in India brides wear mainly red. The fact that it is inspired by a Marchesa 2013 dress does not help one bit, as it is in their usual shapeless overdecorated style, not even coming close to a recognizable Indian dress style. If you take away the jewellery, her styling and henna tattoos, she could be any western girl dressing up. What a missed opportunity and how remote from the glory that Age Of Opulence Isha was. I had high expectations it seems. And yes, those are oven mitts. Ugh.

Item # 91444
Serenity
Vanessa Perrin® Mini-giftset

The Sacred Lotus Collection

Small chandelier earrings with white "pearl" detail;
2 small rings;
Chrome "gold" pumps;
Doll stand;
Certificate of authenticity.

What a mesmerising Vanessa 3.0 doll! After Vanessa 1.0 and 2.0 sculpts getting dark as ITBE editions, here is the newest sculpt in all its chocolate glory. She looks fantastic and is dresses in two gorgeous outfits that compliment her dark complexion perfectly. It's incredible that if no one mentioned what sculpt it was, it would be anyone's guess - or not? She's a lottery, with a higher edition than these things usually get, so fingers crossed. More information about that in late autumn. Her bag is a miniature version of Chloé Nile minaudière bag. The draped sash at the waist is just like the ones used by Haider Ackermann in his Spring 2018 collection. While her "daywear" ensemble with the coat and pants does not look very Indian, the cocktail dress definitely is.

Integrity Toys 2018 reveal pt.3: East 59th Collection

August 28, 2018

The third collection presented during the webinar was East 59th. Of course Chris Stoeckel was there to talk about the concept (fashions inspired by cocktails) and give us all the details. Constance Madssen and Evelyn Weaverton are joined this season by the first male doll (now apparently called Fashion Figures) Laird Drake and a newly revamped Victoire Roux, returning with a redesigned sculpt after a two-year absence. Most collectors, me included, were expecting her debut during the convention but here she is. Just like last year, most of the dolls include an alternate ensemble by using extra pieces and lots of miniature accessories like cocktail glasses, bottles and cigars. All dolls are available via Integrity Toys Dealers only and are for adult collectors ages 15 and up only. Most of them will arrive in September, making it difficult to order more than one or two, even though it’s a great collection.

Another new man! This is shaping up to be the year of men for Integrity Toys. He’s channeling Cary Grant, as his styling recalls the To Catch A Thief film. Handsome man and great outfit, plus lots of accessories. I was a bit on the fence about him but finally relented and added him to my preorder. I think most of the new male sculpts not included in the new Homme line could be rejects from that line. Truth is I expected him looking quite older.

Constance is giving off Marilyn Monroe vibes. I love the colours, their combination and the design of the outfits, plus the accessories. Too bad my budget is finite. One thing: they talked about the hat as if it was something new, but we have had a similar one with Outsass Vanessa. Unless it is made of fabric and not the usual flocked plastic, it does not look that special. Pet peeve: oven mitts. Bleh.

If I had the budget to add another doll from this collection to my preorder, this would be it. Even though her face reminds me a lot of the Cinderella Evelyn from last year’s convention (and Evan Rachel Wood as well), her styling, outfit and accessories are superb. A Kelly Style bag, a gift box (looks like the kind used for cakes), the pumps opened on the sides... gorgeous!

A beautiful raven haired Wvelyn, wearing an impressive and stylish gown. The accessories are to die for, particularly most being close to Tiffany blue. Oven mitts alert. I actually asked during the Q&A at the end of the webinar, why we see both the old, ugly oven mitts and the new sculpted hand glove with the separate arm piece. One of the designers said that it is an aesthetic decision: sometimes the old style fits the design. He also,said that sometimes the colour of the hand and that of the fabric does not match. I think white should have been easy to make, no?

The return of Victoire Roux! With a redesigned sculpt, so that it will look less cartoony and more realistic, as Chris said. She’s beautiful and I preordered her as I wanted to have the first new Victoire, even though I already have an older one with similarly coloured hair. The versatility of the outfit is nice and her accessories great. She has the new sculpted gloves but the golden colour of the hands does not perfectly match the arm fabric. How come this was,ade and not the white or orange ones for the other dolls? The gin bottle, martini glass and jewellery more than make up,for it though.

Did you like the new East 59th collection? How about the new Victoire? Are you preordering any doll’s from this line? Let me know in the comments.
