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:

Regenesis_Dasha_d_Amboise_Anika_Luxottica_doll

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.

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.

Jason Wu Poppy Parker Spring 2021 pair of dolls

Last time we saw a pair of Jason Wu designed Poppy Parker dolls was back in 2020 with the 20th Anniversary collection. Now we get two new ones, available only through lottery to W Club members. Both are wearing Spring 2021 Jason Wu outfits in miniature and have one more thing in common: freckles. I am not crazy about freckles in dolls, as they always look out of scale and cartoony to me. But that is just a matter of taste. As for the styling and fashions…

Head Sculpt: Poppy Parker

Body Type: PP 1.5

Foot Sculpt: Articulated flat feet

Skin Tone: A-Tone

Hair Color: Black Velvet Flocking

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

MSRP: $190 + S & H

Special W Club RTB Winner Price: $175 + S & H

Sales method: This is being sold to W Club members via a W Club right-to-buy lottery offer. Should any product remain after fully placing the lottery, it would then be made available to the public and for purchasing extras at the MSRP.

The Story:

Poppy Parker is thrilled to model a look from Jason Wu's Spring 2021 collection! Looking absolutely adorable with her cute freckled face, Poppy is sure to melt your heart!

Included:

12-inch articulated doll with flocked hair and hand-applied eyelashes;

Bright yellow, full-length peasant skirt with matching button-down shirt-style jacket;

Navy blue bra top;

Chunky "baroque pearl" necklace;

Golden hoop earrings with "baroque pearl" drop;

Floral print sandals;

Doll stand;

Certificate of authenticity.

I would have loved this face without the freckles - even though her eyeshadow looks like she has stye. Pinks and reds are always risky as eyeshadows. The outfit is not what I would have associated with Jason Wu, if I saw it on a photo without a caption. Sporty and relaxed, it is not what I usually look for in dolls, especially expensive Jason Wu designed ones. And while the miniature sandals look very realistic, they give off cheap tourist vibes. I imagined this one without the freckles and in a yellow tailored outfit. Sigh.

Special W Club RTB Winner Price: $175 + S & H

Sales method: This is being sold to W Club members via a W Club right-to-buy lottery offer. Should any product remain after fully placing the lottery, it would then be made available to the public and for purchasing extras at the MSRP.

The Story:

Poppy Parker models a beautiful, romantic look from Jason Wu's Spring 2021 collection! Looking fresh and youthful with her adorable freckles and long slightly curled bright red hair, this girl is just full of love and can't wait to come home to you!

Included:

12-inch articulated doll with rooted hair and hand-applied eyelashes;

Cherry pink full-length button-down chiffon dress with smocked waist;

Wide-brimmed straw hat;

"Baroque pearl" bracelet;

Golden hoops with small "baroque pearl" drops;

Striped sandals with petal accents;

Doll stand;

Certificate of authenticity.

Keeping up with the sorbet colours, this one is in deep pink, still with the dreaded freckles and still sporting an outfit that is great on a human visiting the Acropolis in the summer but I do not want it anywhere near my dolls, especially the sandals. Surprisingly, this one looks better on the doll than on the model. Speaking of which, why not this one being AA like the model too? Would have been so much more interesting. This one might look better worn open at the front, over slack striped pants and a cropped top, paired of course with different style sandals. I think it is time that if Jason designs another Poppy, we should get something with the caliber of Bergdorf Goodman Poppy. The “rich lady on a trip to Hydra island” style is tired. Look how Jacquemus does summer.

Stay Tuned Day 5: the Integrity Toys 2022 online event ends with a premiere and Jason Wu

The last day of the “Stay Tuned” online event had three dolls revealed: Integrity Toys made it look like the gala dinner of a normal convention, so we saw not one but two Jason Wu dolls. And there was also one NU Face doll, but instead of Jessy Ayala (who was noticeably absent throughout the event week), it was designed by David Buttry and Mark Tinkey

Despite the three dolls, we had only one series as inspiration: Sex And The City. The story goes that Lukas produced a new TV series named "Girl In The City", and we were also treated with clips from ITFTV: Integrity Toys Fashion TV, something like EW TV red carpet coverage. Giselle was the star of the new series, channelling Sarah Jessica Parker, while Aymeline, in a double appearance wearing two different Jason Wu looks, was on the premiere red carpet to support her.

The Story:

Watch out fashion lovers, real-life fashion designer Giselle Diefendorf is ready to add "actress" to her resume as she stars in "Girl In The City", a modern re-invention of popular romantic comedies from the early 2000s! It follows her very fashionable adventures in the city that never sleeps, as she tries to juggle her fabulous career as a top fashion critic and her complicated relationship with a fashion designer that she frequently needs to critique, oh and of course, her never-ending love affair with her lover's main fashion brand competitor- Manero! In the pilot episode simply titled "Hello Lover", you will fall in love with Giselle in the main role, just like we did!

Hello_Lover_Giselle_Diefendorf_doll

Included:

  • 12.5-inch articulated doll with rooted hair and hand applied-eyelashes;

  • Black and white newsprint dress with shirring and rosette detail;

  • Fascinator with veil and removable brooch;

  • Black chrome earrings, ring, and bracelet with "stone" detail;

  • Chrome clutch purse;

  • Lace-up heels;

  • Teal blue pumps with rhinestone detail;

  • Pair of regular FR hands;

  • Alternate pair of long-manicured hands;

  • "Stay Tuned" doll stand;

  • Certificate of authenticity.

Hello_Lover_Giselle_Diefendorf_doll

So if this was a convention, one of the Aymeline ladies would have been the convention doll, the other the centrepiece and Giselle would have been one of the W Club event dolls - probably the souvenir one. She tries to emulate the famous Dior by John Galliano newspaper print dress that Carrie was wearing in Sex And The City but the dress has quite a different structure and the shoes look more like cheap Manolo knockoffs than the real thing (MANERO for Manolo, lol - btw Tony Manero is the name of the character John Travolta plays in Saturday Night Fever and Stayin’ Alive). Since I have seen better made shoe buckles from Integrity (and weirdly enough there is an example on the very next doll), that would look more like the ones on the original Manolos, it puzzles me as to why this choice was made - maybe lack of resources in the factory? They look bad. The doll is beautiful, with the trademark SJP hair in abundance - and it is the second Giselle we get this year.

The Story:

Ready to walk the red carpet at the "Girl In The City" Pre-Premiere screening, top-model Aymeline wears a classic Jason Wu gown, sure to land her on NU.MODE Magazine's "who wore it best" list!

Included:

  • 12.5-inch articulated doll with rooted hair and hand-applied eyelashes;

  • Jason Wu original multi-layered gown with ruching detailing at the bodice and ruffled neckline;

Jason_Wu_Collection_Winter_2021_Aymeline_doll

Can anyone tell me why Aymeline has the original Hangisi Manolos while Giselle was left with a knockoff? LOL, cannot wait to see the two of them in a catfight for the pumps! A beautiful Aymeline, with red hair, that reminds me a bit of Androgyny Avantguard doll. The dress is not actually in his 2021 Fall collection but looks like a cross between a gown from that collection with an OOAK gown he made for Kristin Davis for the And Just Like That premiere (fits with this occasion perfectly, right?). She’s a catch - the price is the same as her previous incarnations and she has it all.

The Story:

Aymeline just adored the premiere episode of "Girl In The City" (well, what little she saw of it!) and now that the screening is over, like a well-choreographed ballet, she rushed to emerge in another breath-taking Jason Wu original and completely transformed her look, just in time to turn heads again for the Post-Premiere party! What could be more glamorous? Like a beautiful chameleon, her incredible transformation created a sensational fashion moment and we're all thrilled to be there for it!

Included:

  • 12.5-inch articulated doll with rooted hair and hand-applied eyelashes;

  • Jason Wu original evening gown with multi-tiered ruffles;

  • "Stay Tuned" doll stand;

  • Certificate of authenticity.

Jason_Wu_Collection_Spring_2020_Aymeline_doll

Even though the doll is named Jason Wu Collection Spring 2020, there is no such dress in that collection apart from a similar but quite different finale gown. W Club confirmed that Jason said this is the same 2012 gown worn by the first Net-A-Porter 10th anniversary exclusive doll (in chartreuse) back in 2017. I guess since they already had the pattern, they decided it looks close enough to name it 2020. The gorgeous doll reminds me a lot of the ITBE Higher doll, but (unfortunately) in a lighter skin tone. She would have looked so much better in light honey or latino. She compliments the red head perfectly, plus they will make an awesome trio with my NAP Midnight Garden blonde Aymeline.

Integrity Toys Obsession Convention 2021, Day 2: The Final Gala Event dolls

The Obsession Convention Final Gala Event was the final one for this year’s virtual convention. The Event Centerpiece doll was designed by Jessy Ayala and the Official Convention Souvenir doll was designed by designer Jason Wu, as it has been for many years. The winners of the three creative competitions were also announced. It was a mixed bag of a convention, more so than last year, and I think that the format of the event, if it continues to be virtual (which will almost certainly be again next year), has to be rethought. There are ways to make things a bit more interactive, so that people can get a sense of being connected and do things during the convention, instead of simply watching one webinar after another. With the problems in the supply chain not going away for the foreseeable future, it might be sensible to make the convention dolls early enough so that they can be available during the time of the event. It has been two years now living in a pandemic, with adequate and early planning, it can be possible.

Sovereign Adèle Makéda is definitely giving a run for her money to Victoire Roux for best doll of this convention. The final gala centerpiece doll continues designer Jessy Ayala's military-styling Obsession for the Fashion Royalty ladies and hits the mark - a perfect ten. And from the real-life photos I have seen, she sure is gorgeous. I will try to add this one to my collection, as well as Victoire. The jacket is in the formal military style seen especially in the 19th century, and with her hair and accessories she looks like a modern version of the Bridgerton ladies. She could very well have a part in that series!

Fall_2020_Elyse_Jolie_convention_doll

It is weird to have a second dark skinned Elyse in a year (after the upgrade one) and, despite her wearing a Fall 2020 Jason Wu original dress, she feels a bit underwhelming. Following after the incredible centerpiece Adele surely does not help. The obsession is cosmetics and she comes with a set of miniature Jason Wu cosmetics that are gorgeous and I’d love to have them offered as an accessory set sometime in the future. The gown is quite close to the real dress but the unfinished edges do not translate well in doll size and make the effect have no impact compared to the original. It looks like someone decided to leave the dress unfinished because they were in a hurry. Last year’s Aymeline was a much better choice for the convention souvenir doll.

Fall_2020_Elyse_Jolie_convention_doll accessories

The winners of the Obsession Convention Design Competitions were also announced at the final event. Each one will receive an Integrity Toys exclusive award statuette. Let’s see who won each category:

Monochromatic Obsession Styling

Competition Winner: Aral Rahman

Meet Aral Rahman

Aral Rahman was born and raised in Malaysia. He loves to design OOAK doll outfits under his own mini label ARALGHOSTIER. Coffee addict. Pure Cancerian. My muse would be pop/dance songs, favourite colors got to be black, maroon ruby, mauve & emerald. Digging in the characters of Giselle, Rayna, and Lilith.

A Note From Aral

As black and addictive as 'Opium Libre'... Feeling free and mysterious at the same time. Would love some danger while on the red carpet. Not perfect, asymmetrical, and just on edge. Effortless timeless in black couldn't be wrong! - Aral Rahman

Fashion Photo: Obsessed with Travel Photography

Competition Winner: Alberic Kacou

Meet Alberic Kacou

I'm Alby, the unique IT Collector man living in Africa (Ivory Coast, West Africa). As a globe-trotter African native, I'm passionate about travels, people and their culture, dolls, photography, fashion, and music. To me, life is a priceless gift, that I dully celebrate every day with family and friends, all over the world. I have been a doll collector for a decade, but collecting IT dolls since 2019. IT dolls are the perfect dolls for collectors, to me. Please dive into my special universe through my IG account @bibidollscollector

A Note From Alberic

Rayna is back in Tunisia, the country of origin of her grandparents. She's happy to discover the famous village Sidi Bou Said, where this special blue is present everywhere and dresses all the artistic and unique doors of the ancient shelters. Rayna's dress is assorted to the blue mood of this nice location. - Alberic Kacou

Obsessed with Fashion Diorama/Scene

Competition Winner: Nicanor Aquino

Meet Nicanor Aquino

I'm Nic from Annapolis, Maryland. Was always a doll lover, but was inspired to collect in 2018 after discovering the doll community on Instagram.

A Note From Nicanor

My diorama is inspired by your iconic characters like Cher Horowitz and Carrie Bradshaw and their obsession and love affair for fashion. The scene depicts the ridiculousness of living and breathing fashion through obsessive shopping. - Nicanor Aquino

Congratulations to all the winners, what a creative trio! And this is the end of the 2021 Integrity Toys convention coverage from me.

A new offering from Integrity Toys - basic dolls in open editions!

Integrity Toys decided to offer collectors new basic dolls from their various brands. These dolls will be a chance for new and seasoned collectors alike to buy dolls that are usually snapped up by W Club members before they even hit the store. All new basic edition dolls will be made in open edition sizes. That means that when they "sell-out" on Integrity’s online shop, more will be produced and then made available for sale again. This makes it easier for people just starting to collect IT dolls to enter the hobby - something that is really hard due to the limited editions. Once the initial shipment currently in the IT warehouse sells out, the next run will be ready in a few months.

pinup-allure-summer-glamour-victoire-roux-basic-doll_73038_73039_CU.jpg

The first 2 dolls in the series are two different Victoire Roux dolls designed by Chris Stoeckel. Each doll in the series features hand-applied eyelashes, a few accessories, and signature doll stands. The dolls will come packaged in lightweight, easy-to-ship narrow packaging (dimensions 4" X 14" X 2.25" similar to the recent convention slim-box packaging). this will reduce shipping costs a bit, IT said that additional characters from other collector-favorite brands are on the way soon. I am really curious to see what they will be and how they will handle the more popular ones: Poppy Parker anyone? At $99.00 a doll, they are definitely not playline cheap, but they are IT collectibles. Some compared the price with the $60.00 that Style Lab dolls cost in the latest convention. But those were nude dolls, without any accessories, no stand and no box. Add all these up and you get why the raised price. I am curious to see how this will evolve, it is a good thing though and kudos to Integrity Toys for making it happen.

I love this one too, she is a gorgeous doll. And even though I have redhead Victoire dolls (both with new and old sculpt), she’s too good to miss.
