Integrity Toys 2024 convention - Stilettos Out day 3: The Final Gala - convention doll and solving the mystery

Saturday night is always the time when the Final Gala of the convention takes place. Participant were “taken” to Italy, where the convoluted plot of the convention concept was finally resolved. "Regenesis" Dasha d'Amboise as Anika Luxottica, designed by Jessy Ayala, returned as the centerpiece doll and was revealed as the shape-shifting villain, while Elisa Bianchi was the mastermind behind the intricate scheme (Elyse Jolie, as unveiled on Thursday).

The winners of the convention design competitions were also announced:

2024 Diorama Design Competition- Into The Evil Lair:

People's Choice Winner: Mary Caraway

Judges Choice Winner: Beverly Medley

2024 Doll Design Competition- Flamboyant Villains Vs. Sensational Agents:

People's Choice Winner: Donald Whitelocke

Judge's Choice Winner: Fredrik Kvernplassen

The winners of the OOAK raffle dolls designed by IT Collaboration Partners Magia 2000, Sinuhe Guzman and Jason Kramer Designs were also picked, as well as the other raffle winners. With everyone's generous support, the event raised over $10,000 for the Trevor Project - awesome!

No real life convention would be complete without the designer who raised Integrity Toys to the next level: Jason Wu joined the hosts on stage for an in-depth interview and to unveil the official convention doll, wearing his creation based on a celebrity-worn design, "Hibiscus" Aymeline. No location for next year’s event was announced. Luckily, the company also pledged to cover all shipping costs for the missing dolls, provided they were shipped to the attendees’ main address.

Let’s see the two final dolls:

Item # 91560

Regenesis

Dasha d'Amboise as Anika Luxottica™ Centerpiece Doll

The Fashion Royalty® Collection

Stilettos Out: An Integrity Toys Fashion Thriller

Edition Size: 550

Head Sculpt: Dasha

Body Type: FR 6.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: Porcelain

Hair Color: Cyber Blue

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

Designed By Jessy Ayala

In her first incarnation as Anika Luxoticca, designed by Alain Trembley, Dasha became a grail doll for collectors, a much saught after item. This comeback, designed by Jessy Ayala, is again a stunning interpretation of a cyborg doll. Jessy managed to keep elements of the first one but give us a different doll. The cut looks like it was partly inspired also by this Thierry Mugler Haute Couture Winter 1999 gown. And the weird object created from pieces found in the Style Lab dolls, shown here, was her robotic heart. Fabulous.

Item # 12331

Hibiscus

Aymeline™ Official Convention Giveaway Doll

The Jason Wu® Collection

Stilettos Out: An Integrity Toys Fashion Thriller

Edition Size: 600

Head Sculpt: Aymeline

Body Type: FR 6.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: Hungarian

Hair Color: Black/Brown Mix

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

Designed By Jason Wu

Another beautiful Aymeline by Jason - her face reminds me a lot of the first one, the incomparable Midnight Garden Aymeline. The original dress was worn by Michelle MJ Rodriguez in the 2019 Emmy Awards and was custom made for her, so this is a very special gown. I love the original and this doll version as well. If I did not already have NAP Aymeline and also the Spring 2020 Aymeline from the 2022 online event, I might have tried getting her. And that’s the end of the first real life convention for Integrity Toys, episodic and definitely unforgettable for all involved.

IFDC 2016 Integrity Toys convention dolls: Agent 355 - Mission Lovejoy

The International Fashion Doll Convention 2016 - or IFDC as most people know it - took place this weekend in Las Vegas, with a spy/James Bond theme. Integrity Toys, which created the convention dolls once again, did an incredible job and brought to us some great dolls - one of which is almost perfection. Alain Trembley styled all three of these winners and boy, did he do an amazing job. I love the fact that instead of a male spy saving the woman scientist, it is  the other way around, plus the villain of the story is a woman too. These were all available for convention attendees but W Club members also get the privilege to enter a lottery for a limited number of them, so if you are a member, check your email right now! 

Item # 75020

Anja™ as Agent 355

IFDC 2016 IT Direct Exclusive Dressed Doll

Approximate Ship Date: After Winners' Payments are Received

Limited Edition Size: 500 Dolls Worldwide

Suggested Retail Price: $150.00

IFDC / IT Direct Exclusive

 

Doll Tech Specs: 

Body Type: FR2013

Head Sculpt: Anja™

Quick Switch Feature: No 

Skin Tone: FR White

Hair Color: Brunette

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-Applied

Anja™ is wearing a sequined tuxedo and high-heels, but her ensemble also includes a gun, a camera, a map, a picture of the mysterious Professor Young and a mission brief. Anja™ is a fully articulated 12.5-inch doll with fully rooted hair and hand-applied eyelashes. For adult collectors ages 15 and up only. This doll cannot stand alone; a doll stand is included. The rope shown is just a prop and is not included with the doll.

Even though many collectors adore the micro-sequined suit, I cannot bring myself to like it. I do understand though that another simple one would be too much, since we have got one in almost every convention collection these past years. The doll's make up looks fantastic and I love that she's wearing a choker, a very of the moment detail. She could be starring in any 70s Bond film as an equal partner to Roger Moore. The camera and map in scale are amazing.

Item # 75019

Marius Lancaster™ as Professor Young

IFDC 2016 Exclusive Companion Fashion Figure

Approximate Ship Date: After Winners' Payments are Received

Limited Edition Size: 500 Dolls Worldwide

Suggested Retail Price: $150.00

 

Doll Tech Specs: 

Body Type: FR: Homme

Head Sculpt: Marius Lancaster™ (Brand New Sculpt!)

Quick Switch Feature: No 

Skin Tone: FR White

Hair Color: Blond

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-Applied

Marius Lancaster as Professor Young is a brand new character making his debut in the family of Integrity Toys male figures and comes dressed in a classical, slightly geeky look, complete with red silk tie, handkerchief, argyle socks and oxford shoes, black reading glasses and a watch. He comes with his half of the formula of the love potion that he invented and a set of colored test tubes in a rack, a never seen before accessory created just for this set. Marius Lancaster is a fully articulated 12.5-inch fashion figure with fully rooted hair. For adult collectors ages 15 and up only. This doll cannot stand alone; a doll stand is included.

I can see that the huge wide head trend in Hommes is continuing and this worries me about the main line. If they decide to make new faces for the new Hommes to be unveiled in the near future, and they have this huge wide head, I will not be buying them other than for body replacements. Other than that, the rest of the doll is amazing - great outfit and lovely, detailed accessories. The shoes and socks are TDF.

Item # 75018

Dasha™ as Anika Luxottica

IFDC 2016 Exclusive Convention Dressed Doll

Approximate Ship Date: After Winners' Payments are Received

Limited Edition Size: 500 Dolls Worldwide

Suggested Retail Price: $175.00

Doll Tech Specs: 

Body Type: FR2013™ (Includes two sets of limbs, transparent and solid).

Head Sculpt: Dasha™

Quick Switch Feature: No 

Skin Tone: Cream

Hair Color: Silver

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-Applied

Dasha™ is dressed in a futuristic lab gown and techno heels, and comes complete with two full sets of limbs that can be switched at will and her half of the mysterious love potion. One set of the limbs is semi-transparent and robotic, as she is supposedly an "enhanced" human in the spy scenario. Dasha™ is a fully articulated 12.5-inch doll with fully rooted hair and hand applied eyelashes. For adult collectors ages 15 and up only. This doll cannot stand alone; a doll stand is included. Test tube not included.

I love this doll. Everything is perfection about her, from the hair and make up to the dress and shoes to the transparent set of limbs. I am entering the lottery for her and hope I win - I have never won an IFDC doll in a lottery before. Keeping fingers crossed.
