Dolly Days 5 part 2: Poppy Parker travelling again!

The last two dolls to be presented on the final day of the Dolly Days Integrity Toys week-long event, were from David Buttry: the final additions to the Model Traveler collection. One of them is inspired from India and the other from Australia, in contrast to the previous dolls of the series that were referring to particular cities, not countries. But that is the least that bothers me with these two.

Item # 77199

Enlightened in India

These last couple of additions to the Model Traveler collection look like a quick and uninspired money grab effort to me. Take Enlightened In India for example. She looks like a mash up of previous Poppy dolls: take a dash of Glad All Over, add a cup of Time Of The Season, mix in the Midas Touch sandals and there you have it! I’m not saying she is not beautiful, just not that original to me. And back then, Mumbai was still called Bombay.

Certificate of authenticity.

This one is inspired by the famous Yves Saint-Laurent safari outfit modelled for posterity by Verushka. Unfortunately, Mattel did this one first, and with much more glorious results, as they had the license from YSL to make an exact copy of the outfit. The Integrity Toys version looks like the H&M watered down edition of the French original I’m afraid. Not even a hat to finish off properly. The doll wearing it is gorgeous, even though the violet eyes threw me off. Both dolls sold out at dealers really quickly, despite the large editions. Poppy will sell, no matter what it seems.

Integrity Toys 2018 reveal pt.5: the event doll - Devotion Agnes Von Weiss

Every event has a doll dedicated to it and this year's Integrity Toys webinar was no exception. My haw literally dropped when the first photo of the incredible Agnes Von Weiss doll appeared on the screen, easily surpassing everything I had seen on the screen for the previous hour or so. She's a tour de force, a version of Agnes that is totally original but also has references to older ones, like High Gloss or Optic Verve. She's fierce and majestic, with her Gaultier Haute Couture Automn 2017 inspired ensemble (see it at the very end of the post). I'm happy she has the new sculpted glove hands. Her head jewellery can be worn as a necklace too! Preordered already! She's exclusive to the W Club members.

Integrity Toys 2018 reveal pt.4: Fashion Royalty - The Sacred Lotus collection

The last collection of the line up was Fashion Royalty. After last year's smashing La Femme collection, Jessy Ayala took the design reigns again and delivered a gorgeous collection, this time inspired by Bollywood. With Isha as the central character, the collection takes shapes, colours, textures and elements from Indian dress and translates them into modern clothes, mostly evening but with some daywear as well. Since La Femme was mostly daywear, it was only natural that evening attire would take centre place this time. The theme of returning characters continued with Kyori and Isha, who had been absent - Kyori for a couple of years, Isha since 2015. I love the collection as I am very fond of the Indian culture. Plus I have a special connection with India, having done two photo shoots with my dolls for Indian fashion magazines, which you can see here and here. The dolls are available through dealers except Vanessa, who will be an IT Direct lottery later in the year. Let's check out the dolls one by one. 

Item # 91441
Goddess
Tatyana Alexandrova™ Doll
Fashion Royalty®:
The Sacred Lotus Collection
Approx. Ship Date: October
Suggested Retail: $155.00 US
Available Via Dealers
Edition Size: 950

Head Sculpt: Tatyana 2.0
Body Type: FR 6.0
Foot Sculpt: High-heeled
Skin Tone: Japan
Hair Color: Pale Blonde
Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied
Quickswitch: No

Included:

12.5-inch fully articulated doll with rooted hair and hand-applied eyelashes;
Chiffon and net (with interwoven metallic thread detail) draped dress with lace-trimmed edges;
Rose gold chrome pumps;
Multiple "gold" bracelets with white "pearls"/peridot green "stones";
Indian-inspired chandelier earrings with white "pearls" and peridot "stones";
Small purse with metallic gold flecks and "gold" metal handle;
"Gold" ring with peridot green "stone";
Doll stand;
Certificate of authenticity.

What a gorgeous doll! This one opened the FR presentation and took my breath away. One of the best Tatyana versions ever, her screening gives a fresh look to the character (and golden fingernails!) while the outfit is simply amazing. It is probably inspired (cough) by a Spring 2013 Marchesa outfit (the original was shiny grey). The jewellery is totally indian while the bag and shoes complement the ensemble perfectly. Goddess indeed! She was preordered in the blink of an eye.

Item # 91442
Karma
Kyori Sato® Dressed Doll
Fashion Royalty®:
The Sacred Lotus Collection
Approx. Ship Date: October
Suggested Retail: $155.00 US
Available Via Dealers
Edition Size: 850

Head Sculpt: Kyori 2.0
Body Type: FR 6.0
Foot Sculpt: High-heeled
Skin Tone: Latino
Hair Color: Bronze with Golden Highlights
Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied
Quickswitch: No

Included:

12.5" fully articulated doll with fully rooted hair and hand-applied eyelashes;
Asymmetrically draped jacket dress with black and navy blue design woven in fabric, black satin trim detail;
Black chrome knit bodysuit sweater with asymmetric neckline;
Thigh-high black faux-leather boots with shiny faux-leather toe contrast detail;
Black slim sunglasses;
Indian-inspired chandelier earrings in "gold" with jet black "stones";
"Gold" statement ring with black "stones";
Small black "leather" tote bag with "gold" metal bar handles;
Sculpted gloved hands in black with gold stud detail;
Doll stand;
Certificate of authenticity.

Aaaaand she's back! Missing since 2016 and her eye-decal version, Kyori makes a much anticipated return in the Fashion Royalty collection, with a daring Fall/Winteer 2017 Gaultier Couture inspired outfit. The asymmetrical outfit successfuly integrates Indian and couture influences (the tuxedo lapel versus the sari drape for example) and becomes more versatile by removing the bodysuit to transition from day to evening. She has the most discreet jewellery but the thigh-high boots more than make up for it. She does remind me slightly of Vice Kyori but she is the new sculpt and the colours do look lighter than the old ones. Vice was closer to Latina, this one is closer to Indian, but of course the styling and outfit make the difference. She's coming home too!

Item # 91443
Resurgence
Natalia Fatalé® Dressed Doll
Fashion Royalty®:
The Sacred Lotus Collection
Approx. Ship Date: December
Suggested Retail: $155.00 US
Available Via Dealers
Edition Size: 950

Head Sculpt: Natalia 2.0
Body Type: FR 6.0
Foot Sculpt: High-heeled
Skin Tone: Sunkissed
Hair Color: Silver
Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied
Quickswitch: No

Included:

12.5" fully articulated doll with fully rooted hair and hand-applied eyelashes;
Violet satin turban;
Floor-length cape with geometric design (raspberry and black) with "jewel" closure at neckline;
Cream-colored twist bandeau top (light gold threads in fabric);
Stone gray wide-leg trousers;
Round handbag in violet faux-leather with metallic violet faux-leather trim and "gold" metal handles;
Rounded large sunglasses with dark raspberry frame;
Large Indian-inspired chandelier earrings in "gold" with fuchsia "stones" and indigo enamel;
Multiple bracelets in "gold" metal with fuchsia "stones" and cream enamel;
Statement ring in "gold" metal with fuchsia "stone" and indigo enamel;
Metallic light plum pumps with micro croc texture;
Doll stand;
Certificate of authenticity.

Resurgence indeed! What an impressive Natalia! Jessy said that Miranda Priestley from The Devil Wears Prada, was a partial inspiration for this one. I see Victoria Beckham too. The Gucci turban makes an appearance here, even though its real-life counterpart did raise lots of cultural appropriation complaints when it debuted in the Mens Fall/Winter 2018 collection. But that was mostly because it was shown on white models and because it was a copy of the Sikh turban. This one looks more african to my ignorant eyes. She's coming home!

Item # 91445
Divinity
Isha Kalpana Narayanan™ Doll
Fashion Royalty®:
The Sacred Lotus Collection
Approx. Ship Date: September
Retail: $155.00 US
Available Via Dealers
Edition Size: 850

Head Sculpt: Isha
Body Type: FR 6.0
Foot Sculpt: High-heeled
Skin Tone: Hungarian
Hair Color: Auburn Brown
Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied
Quickswitch: No

Included:

12.5" fully articulated doll with fully rooted hair and hand-applied eyelashes;
Off-white tulle gown with light gold sparkle threads woven in and floral embroidered organza;
Off-white belt with detailed "gold" buckle;
Long off-white satin gloves;
"Gold" and "diamond" hair jewel;
"Gold" and "diamond" statement earrings;
Multiple bangle bracelets in "gold"/"diamonds";
Large "diamond" statement ring;
Light "gold" metallic clutch with "jeweled" chain detail;
Clear/light metallic "gold" pumps;
Henna tattooed forearms and hands;
Doll stand;
Certificate of authenticity.

Important Note: The jewel on Isha's nose is not-removable. Removing the jewel will damage the doll permanently and void the warranty.

I should be happy with Isha, but I'm not. I already have Style Notes from 2015 and she is much better than this version, minus the henna tattoos. Her outfit is the biggest culprit as it is white, which in India is the colour of mourning. No Bollywood star would ever wear white if she wasn't going to a funeral. It does not even have bridal connotations, as in India brides wear mainly red. The fact that it is inspired by a Marchesa 2013 dress does not help one bit, as it is in their usual shapeless overdecorated style, not even coming close to a recognizable Indian dress style. If you take away the jewellery, her styling and henna tattoos, she could be any western girl dressing up. What a missed opportunity and how remote from the glory that Age Of Opulence Isha was. I had high expectations it seems. And yes, those are oven mitts. Ugh.

What a mesmerising Vanessa 3.0 doll! After Vanessa 1.0 and 2.0 sculpts getting dark as ITBE editions, here is the newest sculpt in all its chocolate glory. She looks fantastic and is dresses in two gorgeous outfits that compliment her dark complexion perfectly. It's incredible that if no one mentioned what sculpt it was, it would be anyone's guess - or not? She's a lottery, with a higher edition than these things usually get, so fingers crossed. More information about that in late autumn. Her bag is a miniature version of Chloé Nile minaudière bag. The draped sash at the waist is just like the ones used by Haider Ackermann in his Spring 2018 collection. While her "daywear" ensemble with the coat and pants does not look very Indian, the cocktail dress definitely is.

Integrity Toys 2018 reveal pt.2: Nu Face - The Counter - Culture Collection

​Next up in the webinar was the eagerly anticipated Nu Face line. Jessy Ayala designed this again and was invited by Carol Roth to present the concept. It seems that the Nu Face agency ladies take part in an edgy video clip, designed to cause controversy. The appearance of Lukas Maverick, along with a line up of characters not used for quite a while, plus an old sculpt as a new character is one part of the equation. The other is edgy, outré fashions and styling, neon colour details and S&M details that made lots of collectors happy but also left many in the cold. Let’s check what all the fuss is about. Have in mind that the price of each doll in this line is now $150.00 and they are all available from Integrity Toys dealers except one, that you will see at the end of the post.

Item # 82099

Tantric

Lukas Maverik™ Fashion Figure

NU. Face™:The Counter-Culture Collection

Approx. Ship Date: September

Suggested Retail: $150.00 US

Available Via Dealers

Edition Size: 725

Head Sculpt: Lukas Maverick

Body Type: Homme 1.5 (With Disassembling Joints)

Skin Tone: Latino

Hair Color: "Buzzed Hair" Effect (Transparent Black)

Eyelashes: No

Quickswitch: No

Included:

• 12.75-inch fully articulated fashion figure;
• Black faux-leather biker hat with neon green trim detail;
• Black jersey asymmetric draped T-shirt;
• Electric blue shorts with eyeball design;
• Black socks;
• Black faux-leather men's sock garters;
• Shiny black faux-leather shoes with contrasting soles;
• Black and neon yellow fetish faux-leather bracelet;
• Black and neon yellow fitted boxer brief underwear;
• Henna tattoo on left forearm;
• Painted on gloved hands;
• Alternate pair of hands with henna tattoo design on right hand;
• Silver septum nose ring;
• Doll stand;
• Certificate of authenticity.

Lukas makes a surprise appearance here, as most people were expecting him to be included in the new Hommes line to be presented this fall in Convention. He still has the old Homme body, just like the Industry guys. His styling is quite daring for IT standards, reminding many a Tom Of Finland guy (Jessy admitted it was one of the influences). I wonder what exactly makes an otherwise very interesting doll cost $150.00 wearing a pretty basic outfit without any accessories to make it so expensive. Is it the tattoo? I seriously doubt it. Is it the painted hairstyle and facial hair? Is it the septum ring? IT knows Lukas will sell out no matter what (as he did, soon after the presentation). I did preorder him, he’s gorgeous, even though the outfit looks half done. And I mean the bottom half. Yes, those shorts are an eyesore (pun intended). Pet peeve: sandals with socks and garters. German tourists rejoice. A Perfecto style boot with metallic tip would have been so much better.

Beyond This Planet

Violaine Perrin™ Doll

NU. Face™:The Counter-Culture Collection

Approx. Ship Date: December

Suggested Retail: $150.00 US

Available Via Dealers

Edition Size: 850

Head Sculpt: Violaine 1.0 (Formerly Vanessa 2.0) New Character!

Body Type: NU. Face 3.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: FR White

Hair Color: Platinum Blonde

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

Quickswitch: No

Included:

• 12.5-inch fully articulated doll with fully rooted hair and hand-applied eyelashes;
• Convertible cargo cropped denim pants;
• Long sleeve top with drape/hood detail;
• Iridescent scarab-colored paillette jacket;
• Short metallic socks;
• Royal blue faux-leather boots with light gold pierced detail,
• Neon yellow "patent leather" purse with strap/harness detail;
• Multiple bracelets and rings;
• Neon yellow/aqua faux-leather choker with "gold" hardware;
• Light "gold" star/moon earrings;
• 2 tiny hoop earrings on top of right ear;
• Nose ring, light "gold" hoop (removable);
• Doll stand;
• Certificate of authenticity.

Yes, Integrity Toys heard people calling for the Vanessa 2.0 sculpt comeback as a different character and here she is. Violaine is the younger Perrin sister and she rocks! Great styling and make up, with lots of piercings, even a nose ring that is removable. I love the stacked bangles, they remind me of someone completely different: Millicent Rogers, the early 20th century socialite, wore lots of stacked bangles, just as Loulou De La Falaise did much later. Violaine is a variant of Violette (remember that the Perrins are French and all daughters have names that begin with a V) and also a 1996 single by Cocteau Twins, whom I adore. Some people did not like the dark blue lipstick but I think it fits her perfectly. That and her eyeliner are reminiscent of Aerodynamic Vanessa Perrin from 2009. The jeans are definitely like the ones by Balenciaga in their Spring 2018 collection. They are convertible, meaning that each piece is detachable - they have hooks to attach to each other. I am thinking that maybe I can recreate the Versace denim JLo boots that looked like drooping pants. I love the asymmetrical top and the paillete parka. The bag is a miniature wonder and yellow, just perfect. So,is the chocker. And the peacock ring is amazing. Her boots look plain by comparison. Glad to say that she’s coming home.

Item # 82101

The Awakening

Annik Vandale™ Doll

NU. Face™:The Counter-Culture Collection

Approx. Ship Date: December

Suggested Retail: $150.00 US

Available Via Dealers

Edition Size: 950

Head Sculpt: Annik

Body Type: NU. Face 3.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: Dark A-tone

Hair Color: Raven

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

Quickswitch: No

Included:

• 12.5-inch fully articulated doll with fully rooted micro-braids and hand-applied eyelashes;
• Faux-leather biker hat with neon trim detail;
• Oversized sweater dress with contrasting neon art;
• Neon painted fingerless gloves (neon yellow and pink);
• Black thigh-high organza boots;
• "Silver" large hoop earrings;
• "Silver" third eye ring;
• Doll stand;
• Certificate of authenticity.

Important Note: The jewel on Annik's face is not-removable. Removing the jewel will damage the doll permanently and void the warranty.

After a prolonged absence, Annik returns again, with a last name (Vandale), wild styling and a prominent place in the Nu Face collection. She has the same police/bondage hat as Lukas, a beautiful small bag with lots of details, a face ring that cannot be removed (it will leave a dent and void the warranty) and a pair of semi transparent boots made of organza that, according to what Jessy said, has a holographic effect. 

Item # 82103

Nirvana

Dominique Makeda™ Doll

NU. Face™:The Counter-Culture Collection

Approx. Ship Date: December

Retail: $150.00 US

Available Via Dealers

Edition Size: 950

Head Sculpt: Dominique 2.0

Body Type: NU. Face 3.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: FR Black

Hair Color: Dark Caramel

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

Quickswitch: No

Included:

• 12.5-inch fully articulated doll with fully rooted hair and hand-applied eyelashes;
• Long over-sized puffy coat (dark berry color);
• Satin top with neon colored -digital print art;
• Dark jean pants with attached neon green leather corset, sileeve wrap detail and pierced sleeve detail;
• Short "patent leather" boots with glitter detail;
• Star/moon/third eye jewelry (asymmetric earrings, layered bracelets with stars/moons);
• Bright pink slim sunglasses;
• Pale violet purse with spike stud detail;
• Doll stand;
• Certificate of authenticity.

Dominique is back but in Nu Face instead of her usual Fashion Royalty position. She gives off a JLo vibe and her multimix fashion is quite interesting. The violet lipstick looks quite good on her but could be problematic for redressing. Her eyeglasses look a bit weird on her. I think a pair styled like those worn by the band Devo would have looked much better.

Item # 82102

Supernova

• "Silver" toned Moon/star earrings;
• 2 "silver" toned rings;
• Regular pair of hands;
• Alternate pair of henna tattooed hands;
• Doll stand;
• Certificate of authenticity.

This is the lottery doll, so do not ask dealers for this one. Colette 1.0 returns - last we saw her she was part of the W Club wedding trio. She’s dark again, which is cool, and her fashion is the most Indian inspired from the whole collection. Her fashion is Gucci styled again, with lots of colours and textures mixing, much in the style Alessandro Michele has being using in the Gucci collections these past few years. Her boots remind me of the ones worn by this year’s upgrade Eugenia. Love the bag.

So did you like the Counter Culture Collection? Did you get any of the dolls? Let me know in the comments.

Integrity Toys 2nd On-line Presentation 2013: Poppy Parker At 1965 International Fair

On Easter Weekend, Integrity Toys had their 2nd unveiling on-line event of this year, as they had promised members of the WClub. Carol Roth opened again the presentation, while Alain Tremblay joined in from Montreal, David Buttry from Florida and Vaughn Sawyers from China. In this event, three lines were presented to the collectors - the first one was Poppy Parker at the 1965 World's Fair. Club members already knew that the inspiration behind this year's line was the 1965 Fair in New York and were anxious to see what would the dolls look like. Well, let's see them!

Item #PP048
Irresistible in India
Poppy Parker™ Dressed Doll
Limited Edition of 750 Dolls
Suggested Retail Price: $89.00 US
Estimated Shipping Date: June 2013

So the five dolls of the Poppy collection are all Poppies (none of her friends) and are each inspired by a country participating at the Fair. David Buttry, the designer of this line, said he was inspired by the national pavilions and the countries participating. To tell you the truth, I expected more of a retro-futuristic style inspiration to go with the overall style of an exhibition that was the inspiration, among others, for Disney to make Epcot Center. Nonetheless, the dolls are gorgeous and were quickly sold out at most dealers.

First up is the Indian Poppy. She wears an elegant embroidered golden yellow satin evening gown. The ensemble is accented with gold and pink beaded earrings, gold cuff, and bangle bracelets. She has dark brown ornate hair and intense eyes: an exotic beauty indeed. Doll stand is included.

This is the best of the bunch for me. She has the Bergdorf screening (for readers not familiar with the Bergdorf Goodman Poppy, check her here, she is very rare) on a Latina skintone. The combination is irresistible, the re-interpretation of an indian gown is gorgeous and I love the earrings. Perfection. Almost. I wish she had some kind of sandals instead of the golden simple kitten heel pumps she sports.

Item #PP049
Spicy in Spain
Poppy Parker™ Dressed Doll
Limited Edition of 750 Dolls
Suggested Retail Price: $89.00 US
Estimated Shipping Date: June 2013

The second Poppy is from Spain! She is wearing an ebony dress with a layered lace black skirt and chiffon bodice with ruffle detail at the neckline and sleeves. Her dark blonde-brown hair is accented with a black straw hat with black ribbon band, an embroidered clutch with multi-coloured floral design, gold hoop earrings, and a dark stone ring. Doll stand is included.

David said this Poppy has a new screening, which I find really nice. Her outfit is a bit conservative - I'd like it more with pants and bolero jacket, more like Ralph Lauren's S/S 2013 Spanish styles - but then it would not be a 1965 Fair doll! She is very beautiful and the hair colour is also a first for Poppy. She has the Caucasian skin tone.

Her accessories are TDF - embroided purse, lovely hat and a ring! Again simple shoes though, the bane of Poppy.

Item #PP050
Sweet in Switzerland
Poppy Parker™ Dressed Doll
Limited Edition of 750 Dolls
Suggested Retail Price: $89.00 US
Estimated Shipping Date: June 2013

Third one comes from Switzerland! Poppy now is red-headed with the Japan skin tone  She wears a white dotted chiffon blouse, short full blue skirt, white jersey tights, and blue tweed cape. It's accented with a white faux fur hat, hand muff, and a pair of faux fur trimmed skates. Doll stand is included.

Another beauty and this one probably is the most popular with collectors. The combination of red hair, Japan skintone, smoky eyes and pale lips never fails to deliver. Add to that the cute cape, hat, muff and ice skates, and voila! Success!

Item #PP051
Pretty in Polynesia
Poppy Parker™ Dressed Doll
Limited Edition of 750 Dolls
Suggested Retail Price: $89.00 US

Next up is the Polynesian Poppy! Her ensemble features a blue and lavender tropical print. She wears a one-piece swimsuit, matching wrap skirt, and royal blue satin jacket. Accenting this versatile outfit are gold and turquoise bracelets, a beaded necklace, and a delicate flower in her gorgeous black hair. The ensemble also features a pair of lavender faux leather sandal heels and matching clutch bag. Doll stand is included.

This is again a beautifull doll with smoky eyes, dark hair and a slightly tan skin tone. Her screening is similar to the Reluctant Debutant Poppy (one of the first ever Poppies, see her here) and I like the versatility of her three-piece outfit. Good to see sandals too. Her necklace is the most intricate made for a Poppy according to David Buttry. I love the bracelets too.

Last, but not least, is the Japanese Poppy - a platinum haired doll in a Japan skin tone body. David said they wanted to present a doll that would be inspired by geisha but not be a replica of them, hence the hair colour and modern accessories.. She wears a delicate pink satin custom multi-coloured floral print kimono accented with a cream, gold, and hot pink brocade obi. A white clutch, pearl earrings, and pink kitten heels with bow details on the toe finish off the look. Doll stand is included.

If she had a fan, hair ornaments and proper geisha flip flops, I would have ordered her instantly  as I love the kimono. She has also a never-done-before facial screening, which is lovely.

Generally a very strong Poppy collection, which left the collectors really pleased and the dolls nearly sold out! I picked the Indian Poppy for my collection and will wait her impatiently!
