While the fifth Dolly Day went by without any offer from Integrity Toys - just a teaser email about Saturday’s reveal, the sixth and last day of the online event made up for it in spades. While the two collections offered by the company and designed by Jessy Ayala are small in number (three dolls per each), they were enthusiastically received by collectors and are probably going to be quite popular. In this post, we will check out the NuFace ladies and their days off concept: the dolls are dressed in clothes that they would wear in their everyday life, each in her own unique style. They are great looking dolls, but for their $150.00 price, I wanted more elaborate outfits and styles. All three are available from Integrity Toys dealers.

Ayumi is beautiful, looking fresh but very basic, with her plain hair and outfit. She looks like she was part of the lottery NuFace Essentials capsule collection revealed last May. If I did not have Power House Ayumi, I might have considered getting her. She’s ideal for those that don’t have any Ayumi yet. But still expensive for what you get.

Jessy revised the new Colette sculpt by shrinking the (admittedly oversized) head a bit, and it shows. She looks much better than her debut incarnation back in the Supermodel Convention. If she had a different hair colour, I might have considered buying her, as I do not own any Colette yet. Her green eyes are mesmerising.
Her coat dress is a shorter version of a Balmain Fall 2019 RTW coat. On the runway, it was worn with opaque tights, which fit the off duty concept much better, and over something resembling a blouse/shirt/short dress leather thing, which would have made this doll so much better (along with the original length of the outfit) and worth the $150.00 price tag. Just imagine it made with that soft fake leather stretchy material used for doll gloves. The exact outfit shown on the runway is nowhere to be found either on the brand’s website or major online retailers, so it might have been runway only.

This lady looks like she jumped out of the Top Gun cast. Pity they did not give her aviator sunglasses to match the jumpsuit. She matches the convention Fresh Perspective Agnes in her colouring. I was tempted but her hairstyle is so wrong for this outfit and NuFace in general. Which is a complaint for this collection in general: apart from Colette’s colours, the rest feels a bit tame for such a line. Maybe they should have carried on with the basic/underwear theme and given us lower priced dolls.
