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.

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?

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.
