Claudia Schiffer Barbie finally gets a commercial release - is the doll meeting expectations?

Back in 2017, for her 30th career anniversary and the release of her book, Mattel made an OOAK Barbie in the likeness of Claudia Schiffer, the famous supermodel from Germany. That doll recreated one of Claudia Schiffer’s iconic looks from a 1994 Ellen Von Unwerth photo shoot for Vogue Italia, wearing a metallic Versace dress. Three years later, to celebrate the model’s 50th birthday, Mattel presented two more OOAK Claudia Barbies: one wearing a Versace 1994 Atelier blue gown, and another dressed in a Balmain design similar to one worn by Schiffer in the label’s spring 2016 campaign.

Now, Mattel decided to release a commercial Barbie Claudie, recreating the cerulean pleated floor-length gown by Versace, combined with a faille taffeta bustier inspired by the signature Versace corset bodice. Per Mattel “The doll makes a bold statement, pairing Schiffer’s strength and femininity with Versace’s luxurious glamour”.

SKU#: HCB94

The Story: Claudia Schiffer chose what Barbie would wear for a doll in her honour. This is one of her all-time favourite gowns, celebrating an iconic ‘90s fashion moment. "Recreating the gown in Barbie scale was a fun challenge,” says designer Carlyle Nuera. “I studied any photo I could find and watched videos of the runway show over and over.” Strappy heels, blonde curls, and soft makeup complete the look. This doll is inspired by the 2020 design made in honour of Schiffer's 50th birthday.

Am I the only one that thinks they did a hatchet job on the new doll? The face paint does not replicate the model faithfully, even though the doll sculpt is the same used in the OOAK dolls. Of course one cannot expect a commercial doll to have the same standards as a one off doll, but still I believe for the price, ($85 in the US, at least $170 in Europe) they could have done better. The hair is also not styled very well. The gown is weird - why would anyone gather a pleated fabric at the waist, when the original design is not like this? Probably to create volume at the bottom of the dress, since the pleats are straight and not like the original. The sewing of the corset is also not that good. And those plastic shoes? For such a limited release, it is awful. There seems to be a discrepancy regarding the quantity of dolls produced: the US certificates give 5,000, the EU ones 1,000. It may refer to the specific markets but they could have just written 6,000.

Neutral Code: Poppy Parker goes mod once more!

We got a mini collection of Poppy Parker dolls this year - and, as we already knew, it is inspired by the Mod era. The concept is that Poppy travels from New York to London for the opening of avant-garde artist Riley Ridget's latest "Op Art" installation. Designed by David Buttry, it is the first ever Poppy Parker collection completely in black and white. Two dolls are lottery through the W Club and the others are sold through dealers.

Poppy Parker® Dressed Doll

The Poppy Parker® Collection

Edition Size: 1500

Expected Ship Date: Late Winter/Spring 2024

MSRP: $165 + S & H

AVAILABLE ONLY FROM IT DEALERS

Head Sculpt: Poppy

Body Type: Poppy 1.5

Foot Sculpt: Articulated Ankle And High-heeled

Skin Tone: FR White

Hair Color: Platinum

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

The Story:

Famed Op Art creator Riley Ridget personally invited Poppy Parker and her friends to attend her next big optical art show in London... Such a genius always recognizes that while the art itself is important, having the "right" crowd at the opening doesn't hurt one's reputation in the art world! Everyone's favourite fashion model, Poppy Parker, knows this and she is more than happy to groove her way into the "IT" crowd and set the tone for what is sure to become one of the 1960s most memorable art moments!

Included:

• 12-inch articulated doll with long rooted hair and hand-applied eyelashes;

• "A-line" houndstooth coat dress with ¾ bell sleeves;

• Matching hat;

• Black tights;

• High-heeled ankle booties with contrasting houndstooth detail and working zip (designed to fit the high-heeled lower legs, also included);

• Black and white handbag with shoulder strap and chrome beading detail;

• Oversized sunglasses;

• Newly developed earrings and matching ring;

• Cuff bracelet;

• Pair of long-manicured hands;

• Pair of alternate gloved hands (with separate opera-length gauntlets);

• Bonus! Pair of alternate articulated ankle lower legs;

• Doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

I love this one - the smoky eye combined with pale lips is always a winner for me and the pied-de-poule (or hounds-tooth) pattern always a favourite.She fully embodies the concept. She will look great next to The Girl from I.N.T.E.G.R.I.T.Y. Poppy from 2014, which would fit perfectly in this collection too. She has the Hold That Tiger screening. The closest I could get researching the inspiration is this 1966 Geoffrey Beene outfit.

The Story:

Poppy Parker has heard the call and has agreed to make an appearance at one of London's most highly anticipated art shows of the decade! Ready to jet in style from New York to London on the Concord, our girl Poppy makes a totally MOD fashion statement in black and white, ready for hours of fashionable fun ahead!

Included:

• 12-inch articulated doll with vibrant rooted hair and hand-applied eyelashes;

• High-contrast, black and white "uniform" style one-piece dress;

• White fishnets;

• Knee-high boots (designed to fit the articulated ankle lower legs, included);

Not feeling this one. And the main reason is that she reminds me a lot of the British Invasion Poppy from the Swinging London collection in 2017, which I already own. Then, it is the lip colour that does not seem to go with her hair colouring at all. She has darker hair than BI. Also their hats are identical - only BI’s is white.  So I skipped entering the lottery for this one. The inspiration is from a 2013 outfit from Fay Spring Summer collection, which of course was inspired by similar mod era dresses.

Her hair and make up are fitting for the era and outfit, making her look a million bucks. Welcome again Miss Jolie James.

The 2nd 2023 W Club Exclusive doll, designed by Jessy Ayala is a Nadja Rhymes gift set. That’s not all: there is also a bonus, optional ring light accessory set that can be purchased separately, as the concept is that Nadja as a model is also an influencer, hence she uses a ring light. Cool!

($50.00 NRD deposit due now, $149.00 + S & H due in approximately Spring 2024)

The Story:

International top model and famous rich girl Nadja Rhymes loves to share every second of her life with her fans, and what better moment to do so than that special time of day when she is getting ready for her next big gig? What look will she go for today? What are her thoughts on the best makeup to wear? Her opinion matters (or so she loves to remind everyone) and while her online fans are hooked on every word she says, her many sponsors are more than happy to send her things to try on and review. This is the perfect life for a star who loves to shine bright like a diamond under a perfectly calibrated ring light! Designed by Jessy Ayala.

Included:

• 12.5-inch articulated doll with long rooted hair, hand-applied eyelashes, and faux, non-removable "belly ring" detail;

• Fierce multi-tone motorcycle jacket with contrasting silver accents;

• Long distress-finished skirt with thigh-high front slit;

• Intricate custom embroidered and beaded butterfly top with criss-cross closure in the back;

• Bright red, ultra-glam, form-fitted, semi-sheer knit dress with an asymmetrical neckline and back slit;

• Strapless bra and panty set;

• Removable vertebrae-inspired belt;

• Removable coin disc chain belt with dangling butterfly charm;

• Black handbag with buckle detail;

• Show-stopping clear handbag (non-functional);

• Ultra-moody dark red ombre sunglasses;

• Black sunglasses;

• Newly developed jewellery set, which includes earrings, 3 bracelets, and a ring;

• Black boots (designed to fit the high-heeled lower legs, included);

• Red kitten-heeled pumps (designed to fit the articulated lower legs with flat feet, included);

• Pair of long-manicured hands;

• Alternate pair of grip hands;

• Doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

One of the most beautiful Nadja dolls ever created, she is smashing! I am so glad she is a W Club doll and we do not have to go through hoops to acquire her. Every element of the doll and her outfits comes together perfectly and looks amazing and very cohesive. The black top and skirt look a lot like this Blumarine Spring/Summer 2022 ensemble - and of course we all know the original butterfly top by Ungaro, worn by Mariah Carey in the VH1 Divas 2000 tribute to Diana Ross. The red dress could either be inspired by some outfits with asymmetrical necklines in the same 2022 Blumarine collection or this year’s Spring Summer collection that features a similar asymmetrical transparent black version. The transparent bag, that we have seen before, is of course the Coperni Glass Swipe bag. The black bag is Aupen’s Fearless model. I could not find the belt anywhere, did anyone else? Would look amazing as a necklace too. The dolls reminds me of Zendaya and also Adut Akech, She’s definitely a keeper.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Prototypes shown, the final product may vary. Background and props are not included. This collectible is meant for adult collectors ages 15 and up only. Ring Light Accessory Pack sold separately.

Integrity Toys online event 2023: 7 sins

Another year that Integrity Toys held an online event in place of an actual, in person convention: called 7 Sins, it gave us seven new dolls, all available only to W Club members through right-to-buy lotteries. The dolls belong to various lines from the IT line-up: East 59th, Poppy Parker, Nu Face, Fashion Royalty and Monarchs Homme. Poppy Parker and FR had two dolls each, while the rest of the lines had one. Integrity Toys decided to have all their designers and Percy Newsom, their CEO, meet in Las Vegas with Carol Roth. The City of Sins seems a fitting place for this theme - just imagine it being an actual convention there. But fear no more - at the last moments of the online event, Percy announced that the company will hold their first in person convention for 2024, no more details given. There were two separate videos presenting the dolls, with Carol welcoming each designer to talk about them. The quality of the videos was not very professional, and some of the gimmicks made people look and act awkward but by the end of it they seemed to have fun. Which is always good when you’re working. A game was also held, giving rewards to people who participated in an online IT contest. The collection overall is strong, on a par with the Curated event earlier this year. Let’s check out the dolls.

The Story:

Featured in the latest ad campaign for "Desires Lingerie", East 59th model Della Roux explores her more lustful side, as she slips into a little something "more comfortable" for the camera. Will she be the object of your desire? Designed by Chris Stoeckel.

Included:

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

• Lustful lingerie set composed of a strapless satin and lace bra top with bow detail, matching corselette with attached garter belts and separate matching satin panties;

• Dramatic full-length A-line lace peignoir;

• Black thigh-high stockings;

• "Jewel" and "pearl" adorned cuff bracelet;

• Matching elaborate "jewelled" earrings;

Another Della that looks like all previous Dellas a lot, just changing hairstyle and outfit. I love this hairdo, it gives her the look of a 50s silver screen legend, but not enough to justify the cost. And I do not want any more lingerie ensembles in my collection, I already have tons. As for the sin she’s representing, lust=lingerie is a bit expected, no? Just think of her in a slinky semi transparent sequinned floor length sheath with a thigh-high slit up her leg and a dawn feather coat a la Dietrich.

Financier Paolo Marino normally lives a fast-paced, high-stakes type of lifestyle, but now and then, even one of the most successful men in the world needs a break... And when he does, it all stops. Set for an extremely lazy day of doing very little, our man Paolo is just happy to lounge around sipping on one of the expensive spirits he collected to celebrate one of his top deals. But should he worry about anything right now? Nah, maybe tomorrow. Designed by Vaughn Sawyers.

Paolo Marino may be a Wall Street shark but here he looks like a wannabe Miami pimp. A bear skin rug? Really? Is Hugh Hefner his idol? The outfit looks like something Thiago would wear - are they sharing wardrobes? What else are they sharing? So many questions! Please IT, no more men in ponytails, unless they are samurai.Speaking of which, maybe his idol is not Hefner but Iron Fist. Cringe.

The Story:

So you would think that sweet, beautiful Poppy Parker has it all, right? Wrong! The truth? Every once in a while, even everyone's favorite teen model wants a little more out of life! Should she covet her frenemy's sass? We don't think so because Poppy is just perfect the way she is! Designed by David Buttry.

Included:

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

• Cocktail mini-dress with top-stitched paneled bustier;

• Custom embroidered three-quarter sleeve swing coat with beading detail;

• Green satin platform heels with ribbon straps;

• Oversized sunglasses with green-tinted lenses;

I am always partial to anything green, so this Poppy would have been right up my alley if: a) I did not intensely dislike this hairdo and b) did not have a limited budget. I love almost everything about her and that emerald green eye shadow is to die for. Maybe Ginger would have been the obvious choice, but look at that close up photo and tell me if it does not scream envy out loud. BTW she has the Oh La La screening.

The Story:

Meet sweet and demure Poppy Parker, a popular teen fashion model who will be featured in an extravagant magazine shoot that is the exact opposite of who she is! Will she be able to pull off the image of a haughty debutante who wants it all at any cost? Will the public even buy that Poppy Parker could be like this, even a little? Nah! It's all just a game and we all know it! Designed by David Buttry.

Included:

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

• Two-piece pale pink brocade skirt suit with oversized faux-fur collar;

• Pale pink bustier top bodysuit;

• Layered micro-chain necklace

• Pale pink "stone" earrings and matching oversized ring;

• Cuff bracelet with pale pink "stone" accents;

• Set of three bangle bracelets with pale pink "stone" accents;

That’s a Barbie Poppy if I’ve ever seen one! Blonde and dressed in pink, with lots of goodie bags to signify greed (and to drive home the point even more, look at those logos on them), she’s like a reincarnation of Margot Robbie if she ever decides to do “Poppy Parker: The Movie”. Not very exciting apart from that, in contrast to her envious twin. The beauty mark is a lovely touch. Does the texture of her suit remind anyone of paper towels?

Erin Salston™ Dressed Doll

The NU. Face™ Collection

7 Sins: The 2023 Integrity Toys Online Event

Edition Size: 1000

Expected Ship Date: In stock, should ship once RTB lottery winners have paid

W CLUB ONLY IT DIRECT RIGHT-TO-BUY LOTTERY.

Head Sculpt: Erin 2.0

Body Type: NF 3.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: Blush

Hair Color: Manic Pink

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

MSRP: $190 + S & H

Special W Club Price: $175 + S & H

Sales method: This is being sold to W Club members via a W Club right-to-buy lottery offer. Should any product remain after fully placing the lottery, it would then be made available to the public, and for purchasing extras at the MSRP.

The Story:

Young, rich, and beautiful Erin Salston loves to feel in control at all times, but let the boys be warned: cross her, and you'll be quick to understand the true meaning behind "hell hath no fury like a woman scorned". Hopefully, the vivacious fire that burns in her and drives her creativity can be contained; we'd hate to think what would happen if she truly lashed out! Erin is a fiery beauty to admire and respect... Fire extinguishers are sold separately (lol)! Designed by Jessy Ayala.

Included:

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

• Angry red punk-inspired plaid strapless mini-dress with micro chain and padlock charm accents;

• Biker-inspired short-sleeved swing jacket with faux-zippers, studs and buckle details;

• Bright red cropped 3/4 sleeve turtleneck;

• Lunch bag clutch with custom-printed "doodles";

• Colorful magnetic circle button "pins";

• Two punk-inspired spiked cuff bracelets;

• "Construction nail" ring;

• One "safety pin" earring, one flame earring, and two little hoop pins designed to look like a double piercing;

• Red platform heels with buckle accents;

• Pair of long-manicured hands;

• Alternate pair of grip hands;

• Doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

Best doll of the bunch alongside the following one, Erin is smashing it here. I am not that crazy about pink hair (pink and wrath don’t match that well) but it goes well with the overall punk aesthetic - Vivienne Westwood meets Alexander McQueen on Barbie. Also notice in the photo above that she has an undercut, like a punk girl would. She also reminds me a lot of the Royal Life 2007 convention dolls, especially Odd girl Out Colette Duranger - is this another Moment for Nu Face and Jessy? Is the paper bag clutch a trick or treat reference?

The Story:

Just like Narcissus, the man from Greek mythology who fell in love with his own reflection, top model Isabella Alves redefines vanity with her own vision of self-obsessed beauty. Just look at her, she's perfect! The mirror she's chained to her arm always speaks the truth, or does it? Designed by Jessy Ayala.

Included:

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

• Glorious couture ensemble composed of a mirror finish micro-sequin bandeau top and matching long skirt with exaggerated bouffant peplum and dramatic back slit;

• Hand-held mirror with chain detail;

• Sinuous snake arm bracelet;

• Compact and lipstick accessories;

• Newly developed transparent clutch purse with magnetic closure;

• "Jeweled" earrings and matching ring set;

• Strappy open-toe heels;

• Pair of long-manicured hands;

• Alternate pair of grip hands;

• Doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

Isabella with a mirror to show vanity - plus her “mirrored” outfit. Instead of reusing the same mirror that Nadja had in the Heirloom collection, maybe it could have been an actual mirror bag like the Lady Dior one by Frederic Leclere, instead of the transparent one she actually comes with (see below). That might have also justified the $180 price tag (ouch!), because the dress and accessories don’t. By the way the dress is the custom Vera Wang outfit that Zendaya rocked at the 2021 CFDA Awards. Love the intricate hair do - may be that is the reason for the pricing? Overall nice but not $180 nice.

Delightful Indulgence

Dania Zarr™ Dressed Doll

The Fashion Royalty® Collection

7 Sins: The 2023 Integrity Toys Online Event

Edition Size: 1000

Expected Ship Date: In stock, should ship once RTB lottery winners have paid.

W CLUB ONLY IT DIRECT RIGHT-TO-BUY LOTTERY.

Head Sculpt: Dania

Body Type: FR 6.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: Japan

Hair Color: Pale Blonde

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

MSRP: $195 + S & H

Special W Club Price: $180 + S & H

Sales method: This is being sold to W Club members via a W Club right-to-buy lottery offer. Should any product remain after fully placing the lottery, it would then be made available to the public, and for purchasing extras at the MSRP.

The Story:

Socialite and famous European TV personality Dania Zarr knows how to enjoy every single one of life's little pleasures and is more than happy to share with us mere mortals on her new afternoon lifestyle show "Mangez Bien, Vivez Beaucoup"!

Constantly promoting the "jewels" of French cuisine and other decadent indulgences of the rich and famous is a hard job, but someone's got to set an example! Sure, it would be easy for incredulous bystanders to say things like "That gal better watch out, all those good things will eventually get to her", but no, trust her, it's all an illusion! Definitely follow her for more tips on how to live a delightfully decadent life and take a bite out of all of life's luxuries! Designed by Jessy Ayala.

Included:

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

• Indulgent layered look comprised of a form-fitted strapless knee-length brocade dress with a full lace slip-skirt worn under a removable voluminous, floor-length over-skirt with a separate extravagant train;

• Flower brooch;

• Coiled "stone" bracelet;

• Spider ring;

• "Jeweled" earrings;

• Black velvet choker;

• Peach pleated satin clutch purse;

• High-heeled pumps with bow detail;

• Pair of long-manicured hands;

• Pair of painted gloved hands with peach satin opera-length arm covers;

• Doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

Wow! Maybe best doll of the event, this Dania is amazing, The dress is very Balenciaga (both old and new) and it is the gift that keeps on giving, with three distinct looks created from it, depending on the pieces attached or not. The doll is breathtakingly beautiful, with her sleek up-do and great make up. My only complaint is that I would have prefered black velvet opera gloves and a shiny metallic clutch to finish the look. A miniature fan would have also looked good with this. Love that choker. We have seen the spider as a choker before but I do not get how it connects with gluttony. Which otherwise is shown with the dress ever growing volumes as Jessy said during the presentation.

The Story:

Any day is a good day for a picnic, or so the saying goes, however for the ladies of Fashion Royalty, this statement always takes on a high-fashion twist! With this new couture, sexy look, your favourite Parisian socialites will be ready for any glamorous picnic, no matter how decadent and sinful it may be.

Very interesting outfit - if my budget allowed it I would enter for this. Its inspiration is from look 23 in the Schiaparelli Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2022/23 collection, (even the bag) but would have preferred the outfit to look closer to the original one. The snake shoes can be found online with a little search too.

The Story:

Will she be good? Will she be bad? No matter what, Poppy Parker dresses the part and takes a walk on the wild side! With her new devilish good looks, our gal Poppy (or maybe one of her fabulously groovy friends) can now turn heads at any party! Designed by David Buttry.

Included:

• Devilishly delightful red lamé mini-dress;

• Layered tulle cape and scarf;

• Red panty;

• Red clutch with contrasting "horned" detail;

• "Ruby" red jewelry set comprised of necklace, bracelet, earrings and rings;

• "Pearl" ring;

• Cat-eye sunglasses;

• Shiny red pumps (designed to fit high-heeled feet);

• Certificate of authenticity.

Nice fashion outfit for Poppy. Not crazy about the tulle coat and the fit of the dress on her body around her belly looks wrong - the tulip shape in this scale is problematic with fabrics like this. Maybe it is something that can be taken care of in styling, as it looks ok when not on the doll (see below). Despite the horns on the clutch, she looks more Christmas-y than devilish. Love her jewellery. The doll is Sizzling in Paris Poppy Parker with a slightly different hairstyle- David said it was an option they considered when designing the doll.

Adornements is the new East 59th collection by Chris Stoeckel for Integrity Toys!

A new East 59th Collection was presented to W Club members, created of course by Integrity Toys' designer Chris Stoeckel. It is the Adornments Collection and the story-line says that Laird Drake's agency just signed a very lucrative deal with Adorn, one of New York City's most prestigious luxury jewellers, to launch a smashing ad campaign promoting some of their most elaborate jewellery. So you can expect lots of gems and glamour in the designs. Here is Chris talking about the collection:

Most of the dolls are available via Integrity Toys' authorized dealers, Constance Madssen is an IT Direct doll and was only be available via a right-to-buy lottery in the W Club.

Enchanting In Amethyst

MSRP: $160 + S & H

AVAILABLE ONLY FROM IT DEALERS

Head Sculpt: Aurelia

Body Type: E59 1.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: FR Black

Hair Color: Brown

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

The Story:

How lucky can a gal be? Even if it's just for a few fleeting moments, Lady Aurelia Grey is thrilled to have been offered the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to wear one of Adorn Jeweller's most intricate creations! In a moment sure to go down in fashion history, she's sure to be remembered as "the face" who wore one of the most intricate Amethyst jewellery sets ever created! Designed by Chris Stoeckel.

Included:

12-inch articulated doll with rooted hair, braided in an up-do, as well as hand-applied eyelashes;

Form-fitting knee-length brocade cocktail dress with contrasting jewel-tone bust line;

Short-sleeve faux fur jacket;

Jewel-tone faux-leather handbag with woven chain shoulder strap;

"Amethyst" encrusted bib necklace and matching earrings;

Certificate of authenticity.

What a lovely lady! Aurelia looks amazing and the whole set exudes luxury and glam in the proper style of the era the story unfolds. It is great to see different colouring on the make up of these dolls - the purple tones compliment the outfit and the amethyst jewellery perfectly. I would have preferred a fabric stole instead of the fur bolero, bringing the whole set more towards an evening ensemble. Chris said she also references Purple Factor Adèle Makeda from 2003.

Love Knot Of Gold

Victoire Roux™ Dressed Doll

The East 59th® The Adornments Collection

Edition Size: 750

Expected Ship Date: September 2023

MSRP: $160 + S & H

AVAILABLE ONLY FROM IT DEALERS

Head Sculpt: Victoire 2.0

Body Type: E59 1.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: FR White

Hair Color: Honey Blonde

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

The Story:

The image of sophistication, Victoire Roux nailed the role of city chic in the latest ad campaign for New York's very own Adorn Jewellers! Dressed in a stylish creation by Chris Stoeckel, Victoire is the perfect model to showcase the "Love Knot Of Gold", one of the purest pieces of gold jewellery ever crafted by man!

Included:

12-inch articulated doll with short rooted hair, styled in a fabulous finger-wave look, as well as hand-applied eyelashes;

Sleeveless/backless form-fitting knee-length houndstooth cocktail dress;

Removable houndstooth shawl/cape;

Fabulous black head-wrap;

Black patent "leather" handbag;

Black patent "leather" pumps with cut-out sides;

Golden knotted cuff bracelet and golden earrings;

Pair of long-manicured hands;

Pair of alternate full-length gloved hands;

Doll stand;

Certificate of authenticity.

The problem with most Victoire dolls is that they are gorgeous yet usually look alike so much that I do not get them, missing out on gorgeous outfits like this. The pattern looks more like gingham than houndstooth (as the description says). Love the headband. The bag looks like a Birkin (which was introduced in 1984), which is quite the anachronism, as a Kelly would be much more suitable and era appropriate. Guess Hermès stole the design from someone, right?

The Story:

Picture this: just like a dream, Coralynn "Cora" Kwan appears to us, dressed as the perfect, ultra-glamorous 1950's socialite, ready to host New York's elite at her posh penthouse, high above one of the city's most fashionable avenues! The most incredible thing about this story? The shining jewels our favourite lady got to wear to sell this fantasy for Adorn Jewellers!

12-inch articulated doll with slick short rooted hair and hand-applied eyelashes;

Glamorous one-piece slack-and-bodice capri-length satin lounging suit;

"Aquamarine" covered golden drop earrings;

Pair of long-manicured hands;

Coralynn looks gorgeous again in this lovely outfit, which would have looked even better if it had a hostess skirt over it, much like the first Constance had. Love the bejewelled cigarette holder. I ordered this one immediately.

Right Time Of Night

Laird Drake® Fashion Figure

The East 59th® The Adornments Collection

Edition Size: 750

Expected Ship Date: September 2023

MSRP: $160 + S & H

AVAILABLE ONLY FROM IT DEALERS

Head Sculpt: Laird

Body Type: Homme 1.5

Skin Tone: FR White

Hair Colour: Light Brown

The Story:

When he signed the deal with Adorn, Laird Drake did not hesitate to immediately reserve a spot on the cover of his favourite gentlemen's magazine for him to appear on in person, because, after all, save for maybe his beau, he knew that he was the only man in New York who could correctly model Adorn's line of ultra-masculine high-end timepieces! The company's lead designers did not even try to argue; there was no point fighting it, Laird Drake was just the most elegant man in the City!

Included:

12.75-inch articulated fashion figure with a combination of sleek rooted and flocked hair;

Perfectly tailored tuxedo ensemble, a complete with dinner jacket, trousers, shirt, cummerbund and bow tie;

Patent "leather" dress shoes;

White dress socks;

Removable boutonniere;

Golden watch;

Doll stand;

Certificate of authenticity;

Laird looks like Leonardo di Caprio a lot in this new incarnation. Both hairstyle and face-paint are so much different than the first Laird released. He looks very glamorous in his white tie ensemble. The white socks are jarring on this - they are NEVER worn with anything for evening dress, much less a white tie suit. Chris said he wanted to have a break from the pants to the shows, to make the latter pop more but… He added that it is also a nod to Audrey wearing white socks with black loafers in Funny Face, which is something totally different of course. Also cummerbunds are usually left to black-tie dressing or musicians in swing bands when it comes to white tie, a waistcoat is the proper item. At least the pants look like they have two galon as is proper. When are we going to see a proper jacket with tails in these retro era gents? If he had one I would have snatched him in a second. His forehead is low for my taste. EDIT: the production dolls look like they have a much higher hairline than the prototype.

Twilight In Blue Topaz

Constance Madssen® Dressed Doll

The East 59th® The Adornments Collection

Edition Size: 750

Expected Ship Date: September 2023

W CLUB ONLY IT DIRECT RIGHT-TO-BUY LOTTERY

Head Sculpt: Constance

Body Type: E59 1.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: FR White

Hair Color: Black

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

MSRP: $170 + S & H

Special W Club RTB Winner Price: $150 + S & H

Sales method: This is being sold to W Club members via a W Club right-to-buy lottery offer. Should any product remain after fully placing the lottery, it would then be made available to the public and for purchasing extras at the MSRP.

The Story:

Every major ad campaign needs a show-stopping "piece de resistance" and it is a well-known fact that picking just the right "face" can either make or break any perfectly orchestrated plan. With this in mind, Laird Drake had the genius to cast Constance Madssen as his leading cover girl. With the only diva in town who could rival in beauty with the vibrant blue of the most luxurious topaz ever set in gold at the helm, the East 59th Agency set the tone on how precious jewels should be advertised forever!

Included:

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

Show-stopping multi-layered couture gown, constructed in a jewel-tone brocade, with attached tulle underskirt and a flower ornament attached to the bust line;

Pair of matching brocade panties;

Maxi-length slim skirt, adorned with a bouquet of flowers at the waist (the bouquet is not detachable);

Statement necklace and earring set drenched in "blue topaz";

Black clutch purse;

Black pumps with "blue topaz" ornaments;

Pair of long-manicured hands;

Pair of alternate full-length gloved hands;

Doll stand;

Certificate of authenticity.

Easily the best doll of the collection, Constance looks amazing here, reminding me a lot of Maria Callas. Appropriately enough, this year is the 100th anniversary from her birth. She also reminds me of a Latina superstar, María Félix, which just had a doll released by Mattel. The gown is spectacular and I love the vinyl gloves, even though the material should have been different to match the era. She has the best jewellery of all the dolls and I think a small, crown-like hair ornament would have completed the ensemble. Even her shoes are bejewelled. Happy to say I won her at the lottery!

You can see the dolls in the video below:
