The new Meteor collection is a collaboration: Integrity Toys x Jason Kramer Designs!

Through a video presentation, Integrity Toys and the W Club unveiled a brand new Integrity Toys X Jason Kramer Designs collaboration. We knew that we would be seeing such a collaboration for this line soon, but now with which designer it would be. it was a welcome surprise as Jason is not only a great person but a very talented designer as well - we have already seen his work before on IT releases, one of them recently for Poppy Parker. For those who just discovered Jason, here is a brief bio:

Jason Kramer is a freelance costume designer and illustrator, living in Ashland, Oregon. He's been collecting and designing for fashion dolls since 2002. His favorite designers include Alexander McQueen, Valentino, and Jean-Paul Gaultier, among others.

The four dolls (two of them combined into a gift set) will be sold through a W Club lottery. Judging by the reactions during the presentation and social media, there will not be any left!

The Story:

With the album launch fast approaching, the Meteor was transformed into a vibrant celebration zone, thanks to its resident mixologist, Navia Phan. A master of her craft and Taliyah Harper's closest friend, Navia had created a dazzling array of cocktails that were as eclectic and captivating as the world beats on Taliyah’s new album. Each drink was an artistic triumph—infused with exotic flavors and garnished with imaginative touches that perfectly captured the spirit of the music.

But Navia’s magic didn’t stop at the bar. As the heartbeat of the party, she orchestrated an atmosphere of electrifying excitement and unrestrained joy. Her energy was contagious, ensuring that every guest felt the pulse of the night’s rhythm. With her flair and creativity setting the scene, the launch party was not just an event but a thrilling spectacle—a night where Taliyah’s music and Navia’s concoctions blended into an unforgettable celebration that would be remembered for years to come.

Included:

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

• Sexy red mini-dress with front cut-out and oversized removable back bow detail;

• Matching red panty;

• Red "egg" purse with "gold" embellishments;

• Matching "gold" and "jewel" necklace;

• Alternate pair of hands;

• Doll stand;

I have never warmed up to Navia, no matter the styling or style she was released with. She mostly looked cartoon-y and half-finished to me - until now. Dialling the oomph factor up by 100%, Jason managed to make her sultry and fierce, without looking cartoon-y. The dress is hot (the red colour he picked is no accident) and the accessories compliment it perfectly. And that sharp geometric bob is perfection. Anna W asked for the hair stylist’s name.

Look At Her

Zuri Okoty™ Dressed Doll

Integrity Toys X Jason Kramer Designs

Edition Size: 900

Expected Ship Date: Late Fall 2024

W CLUB ONLY IT DIRECT RIGHT-TO-BUY LOTTERY

Head Sculpt: Zuri Okoty

Body Type: FR 6.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: FR Black

Hair Color: Auburn

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

MSRP: $185 + 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:

When Zuri Okoty heard that Taliyah Harper was about to release her debut album, she jumped at the chance to host the launch party at her nightclub, the Meteor. Convincing the right people to make it a high-profile event was a breeze for Zuri, who pulled some strings to bring in key players from the music industry. As Taliyah's world beats filled the room for the first time, it was clear that Zuri's instincts were spot on. The industry’s top executives were impressed and agreed that Taliyah's music deserved heavy rotation. This endorsement meant only one thing: Taliyah's career was on the brink of soaring to new heights. And Miss Okoty couldn't have been more thrilled!

Included:

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

• Stunning custom-printed crop top with exaggerated puff sleeves and matching floor length mermaid skirt;

• Matching custom-printed head wrap;

• Adorable lip shaped purse with "gold" chain strap;

• Hot pink and teal strappy high-heeled shoes with back zipper detail;

• Golden "jeweled" chandelier earrings;

• Intricate statement collar necklace;

• Set of thin "gold" bangle bracelets;

• Set of thicker "gold" bangle bracelets;

• Set of "gold" and "emerald" bracelets;

• Studded "gold" bracelet with "emerald" bauble;

• "Gold" cuff bracelet;

• Pair of long-manicure hands;

• Alternate pair of hands;

• Doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

Zuri is probably my favourite sculpt of the Meteor line and especially when they paint her with a gap tooth - which here she has again. Add to that the distinctly inspired by her African roots look and you get a winner. What a fantastic doll. The sheer amount of jewellery makes her a moving target! Can you not love the lip-shaped bag? Dali’s surrealist Mae West sofa and Lulu Guiness’ clutch came instantly to mind.

The Story:

Stylist Keiron Morel beamed with pride as he walked the red carpet with his dear friend Taliyah Harper on the night of her highly anticipated album launch. Her debut, simply titled Taliyah, was a masterful blend of world beats designed to accentuate her irresistibly sultry vocals.

The evening was a resounding success, thanks to the impeccable planning by Zuri Okoty and her team at the Meteor. The event’s flawless execution, combined with the enthusiastic praise from industry heavyweights, promised a bright future for Taliyah’s career.

From Taliyah’s stunning look to the mesmerizing music and the glamour of every guest, the night was a visual and auditory feast. The press couldn’t get enough of the spectacle, and the buzz surrounding the event ensured it would be remembered for years to come.

Included:

• One 12.5-inch articulated doll with rooted hair and hand applied eyelashes and one 12.5-inch articulated fashion figure with rooted and flocked hair;

• Taliyah's Look:

• Dramatic floor-length "fur" cape;

• Golden open toe high-heels with contrasting aqua ankle straps and buckle detail;

• Aquamarine "jewel" purse;

• Matching aquamarine "jewel" choker necklace;

• "Gold" chain necklace with "jewel" heart pendant;

• Dangling "gold" earrings with aquamarine "jewel" accents;

• Matching "gold" cuff bracelet;

• "Gold" bracelet with hand chain;

• Oversized "jewel" ring;

• Keiron's Look:

• Muscle revealing sleeveless top with open back and contrasting print trim;

• Teal pants with removable cummerbund with attached black belt detail;

• Black "fur" wrap;

• Black gauntlets;

• Knee-high black "patent leather" engineer boots;

• "Silver" chain brooch with cloisonné details;

• "Silver" ear cuff;

• "Silver" stud earring;

• Two small ear hoops;

• Additional Accessories:

• Tablet accessory;

• "Leather" design notebook;

• Black faux-croc stylist bag with "silver" stud details;

• Set of miniature "Instant Shots" pictures;

• Alternate pair of black gloved grip "Homme" hands;

• Pair of long-manicure hands;

• Alternate pair of hands;

• Two (2) Doll/Figure stands;

• Certificate of authenticity.

Isn’t this a fabulous pair? A star and her stylist.I’m not a big fan of salmon pink - too many bad 80s memories - but Jason has managed to make it work here, combined with her aquamarine accessories and jewellery. As for the doll, Taliya here reminds me a bit of the Italian diva Mina in her youth (check the Balenicaga-Mina collab coming up). Kieron is fierce - both the doll and the outfit are out of this world. Maybe I would have done his eyes a bit more smokey, to enhance his look. Absolute perfection.

Check out the video of the rotating dolls below. Did you manage to get any of the dolls?

Curated: the first in-person event from Integrity toys since 2019!

"Curated" is the first exclusive in-person unveiling event hosted by Integrity Toys since the pandemic begun (and the last in person convention in 2019). It was held on the 14th of July in Washington DC. Attendees got to view the event collection displayed in a gallery setting, each doll in her own cabinet like an exhibit. Then, after the gallery viewing, at a nearby second location, the attendees got to shop, grab a bite and drink, and mingle together. There is no information regarding whether or not any of these items will be available for W Club members at this time, or for anyone else. There was mention of a colour variant for club members, way back when this was first announced but no mention yet even of this.

Item # 91533

Classically Surreal

Isha Kalpana Narayanan™ Dressed Doll

The Fashion Royalty® Collection

Curated: An Integrity Toys Special Event

Edition Size: 600

Head Sculpt: Isha

Body Type: FR 6.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: Sunkissed

Hair Color: Dark Brunette

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

Fashion Royalty had two dolls - and Isha makes a welcome return. She is wearing a gorgeous white dress with gold embellished denim inserts at the front and faux buttonholes. Looks inspired by this Spring 2022 RTW Schiaparelli jacket and this dress from the Spring 2022 Couture collection. She is sporting a head band with bunny ears (very 40s style and also reminds me of Josephine Baker - it is from Schiaparelli Fall 2021 Couture collection). Her other accessories are golden gloves, a white bag with golden embroidered decorations matching the dress, lovely white shoes with gold straps, and golden jewellery - love the eye bracelet, very Schiaparelli and also very Greek. She also wears fishnet stockings, in keeping with the retro 40s overall vibe. She is the souvenir doll of the event, given to all attendees as part of their ticket admission price.

Mixed Media

Thiago Valente™ Fashion Figure

The NU. Face™ Collection

Curated: An Integrity Toys Special Event

Edition Size: 600

Head Sculpt: Thiago

Body Type: Homme 1.5

Foot Sculpt: Flat Foot

Skin Tone: Light Honey

Hair Color: Brunette

Second appearance for Tiago - and a boy for NU Face instead of a lady - but don’t forget we had a small NU Face Moments unveiling very recently, so it figures. I think Jessy totally need to wear this outfit in real life. The rose covered coat has been done before by IT, but this one is transparent and in a light colour. The shirt looks like it is trying to be Jacquemus but looks too stiff. I never liked the underwear band showing over the pants and this one is no exception, whether it is real or faux. Love the colouring, the rest not that much. And the bag looks cheap compared to the rest of the outfit, Coperni miniature or not.

Item # 46031

Behind The Curtain

Zuri Okoty™ Dressed Doll

The Meteor™ Collection

Curated: An Integrity Toys Special Event

Edition Size: 600

Head Sculpt: Zuri Okoty

Body Type: Meteor 1.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: A-Tone

Hair Color: Raven

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

Meteor is represented by Zuri and she looks amazing. Not crazy about the hairstyle (I always find these thick braids a bit lazy) but the rest of her rocks - doll and outfit, Love that she has lots of options to style and dress, from her mini outfit to the big ball gown. The pattern is very 80s and it would have looked even better had the scale been a little larger. Just like Steven Sprouse did it. Love her.

Item # 77236

Silver Cloud

Poppy Parker® Dressed Doll

The Poppy Parker® Collection

Curated: An Integrity Toys Special Event

Edition Size: 600

Head Sculpt: Poppy Parker

Body Type: PP 1.5

Foot Sculpt: Articulated Flat Feet

Skin Tone: Japan

Hair Color: Silver Ash

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

Poppy is definitely inspired by Edie Sedgwick - she was an Andy Warhol muse and vibes well with the Curated concept - more so than all the other dolls. Good to see a short haired Poppy that does not look like Twiggy, Love the ‘This is Art” bag.

Item # 91531

Modern Renaissance

Binna Park™ Dressed Doll

The Fashion Royalty® Collection

Curated: An Integrity Toys Special Event

Edition Size: 600

Head Sculpt: Binna/Ayumi 2.0 (New Character!)

Body Type: FR 6.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: Japan

Hair Color: Platinum Blonde

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

For me this is the star of the collection/event. Finally the Ayumi 2.0 sculpt makes a comeback and she is gorgeous. Perfect hairstyle and make up complement the beautiful face - which here looks quite like her current incarnation. The gown is Schaparelli inspired, mainly from this Spring 2022 RTW gown, with the colouring picked off this Fall 2021 Couture gown. Breathtaking. Look at the accessories - those gold band bracelets are everything. And the gold dipped fingers and silver nails is so Schiaparelli too. Want her - I hope we get this one as a colour variation in the W Club, the original gown is pink and black, so one can hope.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Prototypes shown, final products may vary. These collectibles are meant for adult collectors ages 15 and up only.

Meteor ladies go to the Rococo Ball!

W Club members received an email presenting them with two different mini collections - a Meteor one (four dolls) and a Jason Wu one (two dolls- see next post). The four new Meteor collection dolls, include a brand new character, and are all designed by Integrity Toys designer Vaughn Sawyers. Three of the Meteor Collection dolls are only be available for purchase from authorised Integrity Toys dealers, while the fourth one is an IT Direct lottery exclusive. The concept for the collection is that the ladies are lavishly dressed to attend the Meteor's Rococo Ball, an extravagant evening affair. They come very near the Grand Gala in Rome Magia 2000 doll - with the definitive source of inspiration being the Moschino Fall 2020 collection, Chanel Haute Couture Fall 1990 and of course Queen Charlotte from the TV series Bridgerton and Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story. You can watch a video presentation here.

Serving Cake

Keeki Adaeze™ Dressed Doll

The Meteor™ Collection

Edition Size: 750

Expected Ship Date: Summer 2023

MSRP: $175 + S & H

AVAILABLE ONLY FROM IT DEALERS

Head Sculpt: Keeki Adaeze

Body Type: Meteor 1.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: A-Tone

Hair Color: Red Brown Mix

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

The Story:

Keeki Adaeze is putting her own twist on the Meteor's latest outrageously themed evening, inspired by the luscious trappings of the Rococo era! Is she the modern reincarnation of Queen Marie Antoinette? One thing is certain, her look is on point for the evening and she is ready to hold court at the Meteor!

Included:

• 12.5-inch articulated doll with fully rooted hair, ornately braided and intertwined with a bright pink ribbon, as well as hand-applied eyelashes;

• Hooded cropped jacket with layered ruffled cuffs;

• Low-rise shorts;

• Rococo-inspired printed bodysuit;

• Thigh-high stockings;

• Pink platform boots with pink ribbon lace-up detail;

• Golden drip hoop earrings featuring "M" logo;

• Bangle bracelets with "pearl" and "crystal stone" insets;

• Statement ring;

• "Let them eat cake" purse;

• Pair of long-manicured hands;

• Pair of alternate grip hands;

• Doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

The transformation of Keeki is incredible here, she looks like a totally different character. I do not love the light pink lipstick (would have preferred a slightly darker tone to de-Barbiefy her). The athleisure version of rococo style clothes works great despite the tired paisley print, even though the bag looks more like something from Adidas or Thom Browne (depending on your budget). Love the corset (and would be great if I could snatch it somewhere down the line) and the oversize M earrings. The silhouette seems to have a lot in common with this outfit from Moschino Fall 2020 collection.

Item # 46024

Succession

Nyasha Lauder™ Dressed Doll

The Meteor™ Collection

Edition Size: 750

Expected Ship Date: Summer 2023

MSRP: $175 + S & H

AVAILABLE ONLY FROM IT DEALERS

Head Sculpt: Nyasha Lauder

Body Type: Meteor 1.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: Dark A-Tone

Hair Color: Dark Brown With Honey Brown Highlights

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

The Story:

Putting her own spin on a classic Rococo look just in time for another fabulous soiree at the Meteor, Nyasha Lauder takes it to the next level of extravagance! This new "belle of the ball" is ready to party and make an impression!

Included:

• 12.5-inch articulated doll with rooted hair styled in an extravagant bouffant look, as well as hand-applied eyelashes;

• Matching top and skirt with pannier-inspired patch pockets;

• Ruffled choker with ribbon bow detail;

• Dark brown mesh stockings;

• Thigh-high boots;

• Macaron-inspired purse;

• Cuff bracelet adorned with "pearls" and other embellishments;

• Drop earrings;

• Two finger rings;

• Pair of long-manicured hands;

• Pair of alternate grip hands;

• Doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

This is by far my favourite doll from this collection. And this comes not only from the beautiful lady but her outfit as well, hence I pre-ordered and got confirmed for her (even though I was late at least an hour in seeing the email, travelling home on a bus). Nyasha comes originally from the Color Infusion line, so it is really great seeing her here and in this towering pompadour hairstyle. Wish she had a heart shaped beauty mark to complete the look. The outfit seems to be lifted off this Moschino Fall 2020 one. I only wish the pink was instead light gold, to show off more. The pleather boots look a lot like the ones worn throughout the Chanel Fall 1990 Haute Couture collection - and would have matched the outfit Chameleon Vanessa was wearing  in the Supermodel convention collection, which was lifted from that very same couture collection.

Item # 46025

Head Over Heels

Taliyah Harper™ Dressed Doll

The Meteor™ Collection

Edition Size: 750

Expected Ship Date: Summer 2023

MSRP: $175 + S & H

AVAILABLE ONLY FROM IT DEALERS

Head Sculpt: Taliyah Harper (New Sculpt/New Character!)

Body Type: Meteor 1.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: FR Black

Hair Color: Toffee

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

The Story:

Taliyah makes her official entrance at the Meteor and what an impact she makes! Clad in her show-stopping floor-length redingote and thigh-high boots, this girl is ready to steal the show and put on the performance of a lifetime, leaving her new fans wanting more!

Included:

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

• Showstopping floor-length redingote style coat (inspired by riding coats worn during the Rococo era) with lavishly embroidered trim, lace-up corset detail on the back, and ruffled cuffs;

• Matching purple high-cut bodysuit;

• Full-leg high-heeled boots with sassy contrasting red heels;

• "Jeweled" cross earrings;

• Pair of long-manicured hands;

• Alternate pair of grip hands;

• Doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

There’s something weird going on with the eyes of this one - maybe they are painted too close to the nose? In any case, the wide face syndrome hits once again. why is it so hard to have a narrow face sculpt created? It is so wide that all its features look too small proportionately. Maybe a future version will look better. The tight hairstyle does not help her either. The outfit looks great, even though the embroidery on the skirt of the coat could have been designed a bit more meticulously - it looks half finished. For $175.00 I expect a bit more in this department. It again reminds me of a Chanel Haute Couture Fall 1990 ensemble - a brilliant red one with gold embroidery. Only the skirt is missing.

Holding Court

Amirah Majeed™ Dressed Doll

The Meteor™ Collection

Edition Size: 750

Expected Ship Date: Mid-To-Late June

W CLUB ONLY IT DIRECT RIGHT-TO-BUY LOTTERY

Head Sculpt: Amirah Majeed

Body Type: Meteor 1.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: Sunkissed

Hair Color: Cocoa

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

MSRP: $175 + S & H

Special W Club RTB Winner Price: $165 + 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:

While Amirah Majeed normally likes to oversee operations at the Meteor, she was so inspired by the Rococo theme that for this one special night, she had to come up with a truly extraordinary look that put her front and center, and her friends all agree that she understood the assignment to a tee!

Included:

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

• Ornate bright green Rococo-inspired dress, featuring an intricately designed bodice with embroidered details and appliqué ribbons, as well as a period-inspired pleated skirt;

• Bright green cage/pannier petticoat;

• Bright green thigh-high boots with golden lace-up detail;

• Fan-shaped purse with elaborate, custom-printed artwork;

• Cuff bracelet with "pearl" accents and cameo ornament;

• Dual-strand "pearl" and "diamond" drop necklace;

• Matching drop earrings;

• Finger ring;

• Pair of long-manicured hands;

• Pair of alternate grip hands;

• Doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity;

This is the best version of Amirah yet! Her colouring, her hair, her face, all look beautiful. If I could afford her now, I would try, even though I am not crazy about her outfit. This particular green looks garish compared to the rest of the collection. Also, the pouf skirt draping leaves a lot to be desired. Pity, as she is such a lovely doll. The dress looks a lot like this one from the Moschino Fall 2020 collection.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Prototypes shown, final product may vary. Mirror and other props are not included. These collectibles are meant for adult collectors ages 15 and up only.

New Basic Edition dolls by Integrity Toys available now!

We knew there were new basic edition dolls coming from Integrity Toys since last year, and here they are at last. They were unveiled to club members last Friday and come from various Integrity Toys brands and designers. And guess what? Not only they are now available for purchase, they ship right after you pay for them too. No waiting, no preorder - almost instant gratification.

So what are basic edition dolls you say? The company says this:

“For those unfamiliar with the concept, unlike most other Integrity Toys dolls that are more elaborate in detail and more limited in nature, Basic Edition dolls are the best way for both new and seasoned collectors alike to be able to buy beautiful Integrity Toys dolls to dress up and play with! They tend to have a lower price point and a much larger edition size (which sometimes includes restocking*) that make them more accessible to the general public.”

*Restocking will be evaluated by IT according to demand.

The basic dolls have had a variety of names throughout the years, most usually Close Up dolls. And yes, they are a great way to be introduced to what the company has to offer, at a lower price than their usual offerings - even though nowadays the price is closer to what regular line dolls were back then. Four dolls, from four different lines (FR, NU Face, Poppy Parker and Meteor), plus an accessories pack that is actually completing the NU Face doll, rather than a separate, versatile item. W Club members had a priority purchase window until today, with a lower price than that of the general public. Let’s check them out.

Head Sculpt: Natalia 2.0

Body Type: FR 6.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: Sunkissed

Hair Color: Light Sandy Brunette

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

W Club Price: $99 + S & H

MSRP: $115 + S & H

Sales method: First-come, first-served W Club priority purchase window starting immediately with a limit of 1 per doll style per membership. Once the public sale begins, should quantities remain, members will still be able to purchase extras with their special W Club pricing.

*Restocking will be evaluated dependent on demand.

The Story:

Natalia Fatalé is ready to be noticed, as she relaxes by the pool at her favourite Italian resort, dressed in nothing but the most expensive designer swimsuit her stylists could find! After all, a girl's gotta be remembered, even when she's wearing almost nothing!

-Designed by Jessy Ayala

Included:

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

High-fashion, ocean-inspired, hand-drawn, and custom-printed swimsuit;

"Golden" starfish earrings;

"Golden" chain bracelet

Clear pink high-heeled sandals;

"Golden" cat-eye sunglasses with orange lenses;

Pair of long-manicured hands;

Doll stand.

I was expecting that either Veronique or Vanessa would get the basic doll spot for the Fashion Royalty line, but Natalia beat them to it. She’s good looking but not a doll that I’d characterise as “have to get”, especially if one already has similarly styled/coloured Natalias. The bathing suit and jewellery are referencing the one worn by Ocean Drive Agnes, very Versace. Good to see the price still at $99.00.

The Story:

Posing for the advertisement of the Meteor's next big Egypt-themed pool party, Amirah looks absolutely stunning in her fashionable pure white bikini!

-Designed by Vaughn Sawyers

Included:

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

• Sexy white bikini with narrow ribbon straps and ties;

• Platform wedge sandals with shimmery holographic strap detail;

• "Golden" hoop earrings;

• Pair of manicured hands;

• Bonus pair of grip hands;

• Doll stand.

I still do not like this sculpt, it has never reached its full potential so far. It does not help that the prototype doll is wonky eyed - I hope they fix this in production. Her swimsuit looks gorgeous and so do her platform sandals. The Cleopatra vibes are strong with this one.

What better look to finish her fabulous trip to Palm Springs than this simple printed sundress? As the Californian sun sets on one of the most successful adventures of her life, Poppy Parker jets off for a quick island getaway, so she can be refreshed to take on the world!

-Designed by David Buttry

Included:

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

• Bright, strapless, custom-printed babydoll dress;

• Matching cork wedge sandals;

• Chunky "silver" bangle bracelet with turquoise cloisonné finish;

• Matching stud earrings;

• Pair of regular Poppy Parker hands;

• Doll stand.

A dark haired Poppy is not what one would expect for a basic doll release, since traditionally the blonde ones are more popular. And since the first one had brown hair, I was expecting this one to be blonde, even though the combination here is better: black hair, hungarian skin tone and brown eyes. Delicious. The dress has the same print as Double Agents Poppy’s dress.

The Story:

Never one to be outdone by her fellow top models, Erin Stalston makes a rare appearance wearing a re-imagined version of one of her friend's most iconic dresses! Putting her own twist on a look is one of Erin's fashion "specialties" and she is more than happy to tell everyone that she's the one who actually came up with it!

-Designed by Jessy Ayala

Included:

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

• Micro-sequined cocktail mini-dress, with contrasting white satin shoulder draping detail (non-removable);

• Slingback dark smoke clear vinyl pumps with statement heels;

• "Diamond" stud earrings;

• Pair of long-manicured hands;

• Doll stand.

Erin was very much expected to appear soon as she has been gone a while. Probably the most beautiful of the basic dolls of this wave, she reminds me a lot of High End Envy Erin, which is one of my favourite Erin releases. The dress is recreating the one worn by Mademoiselle Lilith Blair doll. And if seeing such an elaborate dress on a basic doll strucks you as unusual, you have not seen the accompanying accessory pack yet - with the slightly more expensive price of this doll plus the pack, you pay the price of a regular release doll. I can’t say I like this but it still gives people the opportunity to get a gorgeous doll for less, if they can skip the extras.

Face™ 1:6 scale fashion dolls!

-Designed by Jessy Ayala

• Black platform high-heels with studded ankle straps;

• Alternate pair of long-manicured hands.

If one wants a complete Erin, this pack is the way. I have to say that the manicured hands should have been the ones included with the basic doll instead of the ones she now has. We see velvet gloves, which is a nice touch, even though one has to remember to store the flocked hands carefully (and separately) to avoid damage and staining. The tights are a staining danger as well. Love the bejewelled bow.

Stay Tuned Day 3: Double feature means a Monarch meets a Meteor

The third day of “Stay Tuned”, the online event replacing the Integrity Toys convention for 2022, had two dolls inspired by two 90s TV sitcoms: Family Matters (hence their TGIT Comedy hour Thank Goodness it's IT reference, from ABC’s Thank God It’s Friday sitcom block including FM), and Fresh Prince of Bel Air. The uniting thread, apart from the era, is IT designer Vaughn Sawyers, as we get a Monarch and a Meteor doll. And while we would probably have gotten a stronger duo if Integrity picked only one of the two series (Fresh Prince of Bel Air alone could have given a whole collection worth of dolls), we get this rather weird couple of dolls, a whisper instead of a bang.

The inspiration for the two dolls per Integrity Toys:

First, we meet Tobias Alsford in the role of a nerdy-yet-sexy fashion intern coming of age as he tries to shake off the last remnants of his geeky high-school years and grows into his more mature looks while doing his very best to navigate the awkward circumstances that landed him in an internship at one of New York's top fashion magazines.

Then, we switch gears to meet Keeki Adaeze, who stars as a sweet, introverted teen (yes, in the 90s, adults played teens!), affectionately nicknamed "Princess" by her ultra-wealthy Hollywood family. Desperately wanting to help her come out of her shell, our star is sent across the country to move in with her hip, flamboyant Aunt who works in the 90s hip-hop music scene. Follow her fish-out-of-water adventures as she tries to fit in!

The Story:

In this classic comedy of errors, Tobias Alsford is absolutely perfect as an awkward 20-something lad who landed "the" dream internship he never thought he'd get at a top fashion magazine. He constantly finds himself in hilarious, yet bizarre situations, having to figure novel ways out of his crazy schemes in order to keep his job, all while working hard to become the "player" he's always not-so-secretly wanted to become behind those conservative clothes and glasses!

Included:

• 12.5-inch articulated fashion figure with partially rooted and flocked hair;

• High-waist pleated pants;

• Suspenders;

• Plaid shirt;

• Custom-designed knitted cardigan sweater;

• Eyeglasses;

• Link bracelet;

• Watch;

• Signet ring;

• Socks;

• Classic wingtip shoes;

• "Stay Tuned" doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

Tobias is one of my favourite sculpts, so it is always nice to see him appear in a collection. I am not so crazy about his look here though. Trying to emulate both the original Steve Urkel and his more glamorous alter ego Stefan Urquelle, Tobias has the outfit of the former and the looks of the latter. But for me, to be convinced to pay the already high price of a Monarch means a more sophisticated and complete outfit. That would mean, in this case, a second pair of pants for the more sophisticated look, plus a bag. I love the suspenders! Also, his beard looks more like it belongs to a Lego or Playmobil figure than a fashion doll.

The Story:

In this re-imagined take on the early 90s sitcom genre, Keeki Adaeze stars as a sweet, introverted teen, who is sent across the country by her ultra-wealthy Hollywood family, in hopes that living with her flamboyant aunt will help her come out of her shell! Doing her best to navigate through the 90's East Coast hip-hop music scene, follow her fish-out-of-water adventures as she tries to fit in!

Included:

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

• School uniform-inspired look composed of a reversible jacket that features a colorful printed lining, and a burgundy pleated mini-skirt;

• Cropped blouse with a long tie that can be worn multiple ways;

• High-school class ring;

• Lower legs with articulated flat feet;

• Pair of long-manicured hands;

• Alternate pair of "grip" hands;

• "Stay Tuned" doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

I mentioned earlier that Fresh Prince of Bel Air as a series could be the inspiration for an entire doll collection. Cousin Hilary alone could provide an entire collection with her numerous outfits! But here we have a different proposition: Fresh Prince reincarnated as a princess - what if we had a woman from Philly coming to live in L.A.? I am not sure that would have been the result though. The doll has too much hair and without a distinct style. Hilary would never. Will would never, what with his always sharp hi-top fade. Her lips are weird. I get the lip liner effort but here it looks ugly. It does not help that the prototype doll pictured has eyelashes only on one eye. The outfit tries to be an urban version of a school uniform. While I like the shirt, boots and bag, the rest of it could have been reworked. That skirt looks thrown on and the tights waist showing over it is bad. Would have been much better to just make a copy of the infamous Miu Miu mini skirt - not Bel Air related but better suited to this. For both dolls, it would have looked so much better and less awkward if the inspiration was more Thom Browne than Steve Urkel. For me that is the designer to go if you need flood pants or school uniform chic.
