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?
