Integrity Toys Mini Capsule Collections 2020 reveal pt..2: Nu Face Essentials Wave 2

The second collection that was revealed in the Integrity Toys online event on Saturday was the Nu Face Essentials Wave2. That basically meant two NU. Face IT Direct dolls, which are exclusively offered right away via IT Direct Right-to-buy lotteries for the W Club members - I sincerely doubt that there will be any left for the general public. The deadline for the lottery is the 5th of October 2020, noon ET. Two dolls were added to the essential line up, with Jessy Ayala picking from the not-that-popular drawer. This time it is Karolin and Colette that shine in the spotlight. The price is hiked - from US$99 last time to US$115.00 now, without anything added to the mix. When your basic edition dolls (because, even though Carol Roth dismissed the term basic for this type of dolls, it is exactly that, even when you name them close up), surpass the US$ 100.00 mark, you are doing something wrong. Colette has a slightly larger edition size, will she be more popular?

Item # 82118

My Allure

Karolin Stone™ Close-up Doll

The NU. Face™ Essentials Collection: Wave 2

Limited Edition: 900 Dolls

Expected Ship Date: Early October, Once Lottery Winners Have Paid

Suggested Retail Pricing: $115.00

IT DIRECT RIGHT-TO-BUY LOTTERY

Head Sculpt: Karolin Stone

Body Type: NF 3.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: FR White

Hair Color: Strawberry Blonde

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

Quickswitch: No

Included:

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

• "Gold" earrings;

• "Gold" watch;

• Certificate of authenticity.

This is easily the best looking Karolin Stone version released so far.. I still think the sculpt would have lent itself better to a black character but they keep releasing her as a blonde every single time. She does channel Daphne Groeneveld, one of Jessy’s favourite models. Even I liked this version of Karolin. Not enough to want one though.

Item # 82145

In My Skin

Colette Duranger™ Close-up Doll

• Pair of hands with long manicured nails;

• Alternate pair of hands;

• Certificate of authenticity.

What a gorgeous Colette. Just like Karoline, this is the best version of the new Colette sculpt released so far. I like her so much that I’m entering the lottery for her! I never got one of the Colette 1.0 dolls as, contrary to Nadja 1.0 which was the same sculpt, they looked too cartoony to me. This one is stunning. People compared her to one of the Kard*s*ian sisters (Kourtney) but to me she looks nothing like any of them. It’s probably the nude toned underwear and colouring, plus the shoe style, favoured by them.

Integrity Toys Mini Capsule Collections 2020 reveal pt..1: The Monarchs - Atmoshpere

This weekend we got the reveal of four mini capsule collections by Integrity Toys. Carol explained that with the pandemic affecting production, and despite the 25th IT anniversary occasion, they would not be able to release full blown collections for the lines. We saw two dolls unveiled for each of the lines that were featured into the livestreamed presentation (through Youtube - will that be how the convention goes?). The Monarchs line was first, with Vaughn showing us the dolls on video too, which is always nice. Participants could comment in real time, which was nice. Alain, who was managing the whole affair backstage (poor guy - sending hugs) was flashing some of the comments on screen as well.

Technically we got one Monarch, and an older sculpt repurposed at that. Callum now is reincarnated as Indian twins, Tajinder and Dalpinder. If I’m not mistaken it is the first time we get Indian male dolls through IT - this s great and about time! I would be getting Taj but budget constraints meant no. I still laugh seeing the “figures” instead of dolls description. It is dolls dear Integrity, no matter what. Stop doing this.

Item # 21009

Desert Winds

Tajinder Chowdhury™ Fashion Figure

The Monarchs Homme™: Atmosphere Collection

Limited Edition: 625 Figures

Expected Ship Date: Early Oct. 2020

• Micro-chain necklace;

• Brocade slide shoes;

• Braided bracelet;

• Bespoke timepiece;

• Chiffon scarf;

• Fashion figure stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

That’s a gorgeous doll! I love how the Callum sculpt translates into Tajinder. it was about time we got some Indian Bolywood guys to co-star with Isha in her blockbusters. Although the storyline does hint that the twins might be after a guy in the film and not necessarily a lady! We will see… Everything looks great about Tajinder - both doll and outfit. I must say I’m a bit disappointed that we did not see one of the old guys. like Pierre and Francisco, return. I bet they would sell out instantly. As always, the accessories are gorgeous. BUT we don’t get a bag while the price is still the (way too high) same. How come?

Item # 21010

• Certificate of authenticity.

I like tis one less - both doll and fashion as not as gorgeous as the other twin. The safari jacket should have been longer and with a belt. His drawstring hemmed pants do not look good at the ankles. His gladiator sandals are gorgeous though. Again no bag for the US$175.00 price.. The hat: is thankfully made of.felt, which is expected with this price point.

Shipping Early October:

Item # 21009 Desert Winds Tajinder Chowdhury™

Item # 21010 Cool Breeze Dalpinder Chowdhury™

So, are you getting any of the twins? Let me know in the comments.

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.

Item #77183

Lucky clover leaf cloisonné jewelry set (necklace and earrings), hair comb and broach;

Pale pink satin pumps with delicate bow detail;

Alternate pair of "grip" hands

Doll stand;

Certificate of authenticity.

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.

Item #77184

Masquerade Magic

Poppy Parker™ Dressed Doll

The 2020 IFDC Convention Edition

Size: 500

Expected Ship Date: In stock, should ship after winners' payments are received

Adorable cat eye mask accessory;

Jewelry set (earrings, ring, bracelet);

Matching satin pumps with bow detail;

Alternate pair of "grip" hands;

Doll stand;

Certificate of authenticity.

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!

Item #77185

Kiss In The Shadows

Poppy Parker™ Dressed Doll

The 2020 IFDC Convention

Edition Size: 500

Expected Ship Date: In stock, should ship after winners' payments are received

Shoulder length black opera gloves;

Earrings and bracelet;

Duo-toned patent "leather" pumps;

Miniature cocktail accessory;

Alternate pair of "grip" hand;

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?

Fashionable oversized sunglasses;

Golden pumps;

Hoop earrings;

"Golden" bangle bracelets;

Turquoise cloisonné earrings and ring;

Certificate of authenticity.

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.

Included:

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

Multi-layered, floor-length tulle gown with hand-applied micro-crystals;

Earrings;

Shoes;

Acrylic doll stand and pole;

Certificate of authenticity;

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!
