Back again to cover the remainder of the Poppy Parker in Palm Springs collection designed by David Buttry for Integrity Toys. I had to take some time off due to me finally catching covid - now I’m doing fine and we have some lovely things to see, so let’s get on with it! This post features the IT Direct items, either made to order or lottery: the Poppy Parker gift set, separate fashion set, and décor set. All items will be available come Spring 2023.
Item # 77241
Mix 'n Mingle
Fashion Set
Poppy Parker® In Palm Springs Collection
Edition Size: TBD (Made-to-order)
Expected Ship Date: Spring 2023
AVAILABLE ONLY FROM IT DIRECT
Fashion set only, no doll included.
Designed to fit Poppy Parker and similar 12-inch/ 1:6 scale fashion dolls.
MSRP: $89 + S & H
Special W Club Price*: $75 + S & H
The Story:
A "nighttime pool party" was all the invitation said! Poppy wondered if that meant she should be dressed for the pool, for a party, or for a more formal affair. Ever the ingenious gal, she decided to be ready for any of the three scenarios and still confidently mix 'n mingle as the hit of the party!
Included:
Sleeveless bodysuit with golden beading at the neckline;
Matching multi-layered, frilly skirt;
Flowing, aqua-blue chiffon cover-up maxi skirt;
Golden chrome "leather" clutch purse;
Long drop earrings with inset "crystals";
Double strand chain bracelet;
Oversized "gold" flower power ring;
Bejeweled magnetized sarong clasp with "gold", "pearl" and cloisonné flower accents;
Golden chrome cat-eyed sunglasses;
Certificate of authenticity.
I am totally not feeling this. either as a Poppy Parker or a Palm Springs fashion set. All the pieces give off a Barbie 80s vibe instead of late 60s - early 70s desert chic. The flouncy mini skirt in particular looks like she has a scrunchie around her hips. Missed opportunity to give us that white lace top and pants combo we see in most of Aaron Slim’s photos of the pool crowd in Palm Springs. I am worried that if this will not sell (thankfully it is made to order), we will not see another stand alone fashion set for ages. But seriously, I do not want fashion sets to be like this. I expect more stylish and nuanced fashion, not Barbie leftovers.

Poppy Parker® Palm Springs Decor Set
Poppy Parker® In Palm Springs Collection
Edition Size: TBD (Made-to-order)
Expected Ship Date: Spring 2023
AVAILABLE ONLY FROM IT DIRECT
Decor set only, no doll included.
Designed to fit Poppy Parker and similar 12-inch/ 1:6 scale fashion dolls. One CR2032 cell type battery required, not included.
MSRP: $125 + S & H
Special W Club Price*: $100 + S & H
The Story:
Here's a fantastic chance to create a perfect setting for everyone's favorite teenage fashion model, Poppy Parker! Whether she just wants to lay back and relax in her posh accommodations in Palm Springs or wants to throw an impromptu cocktail party for some of her closest friends, our gal will be ready! With its sleek period-accurate inspired ultra-comfy, fully upholstered sofa chair, faux-wood side table, elegant fully operational LED-driven lamp, and other absolutely adorable miniature accessories, Poppy Parker and her friends will have the best pad in town! Designed and engineered by Alain Tremblay for Integrity Toys.
Included:
Fully upholstered retro sofa chair, with faux-wood finish/effect structure (approximately 4.5" tall overall. Designed to fit 1:6 scale dolls and figures);
Side-table with faux-wood finish/effect;
Lamp with light-up feature*;
Printed area rug (approximately 9" X 9");
Two decorative pillows;
Two paper "magazine" accessories;
Picture frame with photo of Sergio Silva;
Instructions**;
Certificate of authenticity.
*Requires one CR2032 cell type battery, not included.
**Simple assembly is required; instructions will be provided.
It has been a while since we got furniture, but not as long as Alain tried to make it sound like in the presentation - it was almost as if we never got another chair since the Barcelona imitations back in 2004! The plastic imitating wood reminds me a lot of Playmobil sets. I love the design and the complete package looks great alongside Poppy (and not only the Palm Spring ones) - even the lamp lights up. So I did pre-order one set - it will go nicely along both the Panton chairs from Dynamite Girls that are actually contemporary to Poppy (it first came out in 1959) and the Arnio Ball Chair (1965) we got with the Swinging London collection. More please.
A reminder that, due to shipping restrictions, batteries for the lamp are not included with the set.

This is the pièce de résistance of the entire Palm Springs collection. Two gorgeous Poppy dolls, in Nubian skin tone for the first time, dressed in magnificent colourful clothes, with beautiful and stylish accessories, that are sure to be the grail of many a Poppy doll collector in the years to come. Too bad this is a lottery, instead of a made to order release, like the rest of the IT exclusive stuff. I’d rather have this than any Alice in Wonderland club doll Poppies anytime. The main inspiration for David was the 4 covers of British Vogue back in April 2021, with their bold colours and hairstyles on African-American models (he even mimicked the two different coloured earrings styling, while giving us two sets of earrings as accessories). And he managed to make it look era appropriate too, unlike the fashion set. There will be a body completer set available to purchase optionally, for those that want to have two separate dolls (who doesn’t?). I love how the two versions have differently coloured faces, one with bolder colours, the other more neutral. And the afro looks amazing on her. The huge braid looks plain in comparison and could have been, to make this even more perfect, a slightly more elaborate era-appropriate hairstyle. Will definitely enter the lottery for this, although I’d rather this was made to order.
