Dolly Days 5 part 1: East 59th gets a new character
The fifth and last Dolly Day by Integrity Toys was a bit of a surprise for those of us waiting for a mini Nu Face collection to appear, or a chance to buy replacement bodies, or both. Instead we saw a double unveiling of two mini collections. First up is East 59th Street, designed by Chris Stoeckel, with three dolls, one of which is a new character but not a new sculpt: there is the introduction of Victoire Roux' half-sister, Della Roux, using the same sculpt as Victoire but she’s black.

A glamourous version of Victoire, swathed in sequins, gleaming from head to toe like a million bucks, and in red and white like a fashion model version of Santa Claus.. She reminds me of Monogram Allure in her style. My only objection here is the hairstyle - we’ve seen her before wearing this one, albeit in another hair colour. We have seen the accessories before as well.

The festive spirit continues with this version of Constance, although I initially thought it was Evelyn, because of the red hair. Rich outfit and a very glamorous styling all over make her stand out. Not crazy about the skirt buttons.

Best doll of the three, Della makes quite an intriguing entry. I love how this sculpt looks in this iteration and can tell that she might upstage her Caucasian sister easily, especially if she comes dressed in couture outfits like this one. The main ensemble with the full skirt is a recreation of the Zemire 1954-1955 Dior couture one, which has been done before for dolls, notably Gene Marshall. This is also true for the second look, the strapless one, a recreation of the Camaieux dress rom Christian Dior Autumn/Winter 1949 Couture collection. I really want to get this one, but will delay it a while. Now can someone tell me how can two half sisters look like twins?

Dolly Days 4 give us Wild Feeling Rayna as a W Club doll!
While previous Dolly Days offerings were met with mixed feelings by W Club members, the 4th day met with almost unanimous applause. And that was because it was a beautiful version of Rayna Ahmadi ooered to collectors as the 3rd W Club Doll of 2020. Rayna has not appeared since 2018 so she was highly anticipated, as she was absent from the convention offerings last month. they call this a mini giftset, to justify the price, while the only extra things are a mini skirt and an extra pair of shoes. Micro giftset would be more close to it. She’s probably going to be a very popular club doll.

What a beautiful doll! I love Rayna in most of her incarnations and this one is lovely. Her face in this skin tone and overall colours looks amazing, despite the strong lip liner, which is not to my taste. the darker skin helps to soften that a lot though. The outfit has the vinyl skinny pants shown in Saint Laurent and Balmain for Fall/Winter 2020, with the overall silhouette being closet to the Saint Laurent offerings. She’d look much better in their fur coat though. The bag is the popular Bottega Veneta Shoulder Pouch, one of the It bags lately. Unfortunately it looks like the $175 price is going to be a mainstay. Sigh.

Dolly Days 3: A night at the opera!
The third day of Integrity Toys’ "Dolly-Days" brings us two more dolls in the series created to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the partnership between Integrity Toys and former doll designer prodigy, now well known fashion designer, Jason Wu. He is paying homage to the two characters that started it all for him, "The Originals" Véronique Perrin® and Adèle Makéda®*. Based on an original concept Jason imagined just for these two iconic characters, they are going to a La Traviata opera performance at the famous La Fenice theatre in Venice. the two dolls are sold separately and are a W Club members only lottery opportunity. Avanti maestro!
Item #12313
The Originals
Véronique Perrin® Dressed Doll
The Jason Wu 20th Anniversary Collection
Edition Size: 450
Expected Ship Date: Spring 2021
Price: $175.00 + Shipping/Handling.
*W Club Right-to-buy Lottery Offer*
Head Sculpts: Véronique 1.0
Body Type: FR 6.0
Foot Sculpt: High-Heeled
Skin Tone: FR White
Hair Colors: Light Blond
Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied
Velvet Touch: No
Quickswitch: No
Included:
12.5" fully articulated doll with rooted hair and hand-applied eyelashes;
Delicate trumpet shape, Jason Wu original sleeveless lace gown;
Glamorous, sheer cape with oversized bow detail at the neckline;
Dramatic custom embroidered lace mask;
Faux "patent-leather" slingback high-heeled shoes with glitter strap detail;
"Diamond" stud earrings;
Two pairs of hands;
Doll stand;
Certificate of authenticity.
Deceprrivly simple at first sight, the dolls reveal their bias cut spiral lace dresses upon closer inspection, not an easy feat, unless the lace is sold like this and the dress is cut in the usual way. I love the embroidered masks, that look so very much like those from Valentino Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2009 collection. The lovely cape is a very classic choice for a big opera gala, especially in places like the mythical La Fenice in Venice, where a very young and almost unrecognisable Maria Callas performed for the first time La Traviata. Even the hairstyle is a classic one for Callas. As is the tradition for Jason Wu dolls lately, the accessories are more than minimal - two stud earrings and the shoes, plus the aforementioned mask. A clutch (better yet, a minaudière) should have been included. The $175 price is less than the $200 Wu dolls command at retail. In fact it is the same price asked for Korinne in the Maison Collection (Vero was $160 then). not cheap, but not that expensive either. The two payment instalments for the lottery winners surely help. I’m not entering the lottery for her because I really do not like the way her lips are painted outside their natural lip line. They look filled to the brim and that is no look for Veronique in my books.

Faux "patent leather" slingback high-heeled shoes with glitter strap detail;

Two pairs of hands;

Certificate of authenticity.
Adele looks so much better than Veronique with this look - I love her face and the austere hairstyle, combined with the cape, brings to mind Naomi Campbell in Valentino Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2019 - although the outfit is quite different, the silhouette, fabric and styling are similar. The same comments about accessories and price can be said here as for Veronique. But she is definitely the best of them and I entered for her. Wish me luck.

The faces on the packaging look like Nicole Kidman and Olivia Newton John to me LOL! Special kudos to Alain for the packaging.
I’m not collecting the line but these do look adorable, especially Shana. The 80s styling is incredible and really fits the era. Vaugh did a really good job with these. I bet lots of collectors are going to be after them and the limited edition will sell out quickly.
