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.
