The first presentation was not just about the new Coven Couture doll. As mentioned in my previous post, Jessy Ayala was there to unveil his two new additions to the Mademoiselle line from 2019/20. That included the returned of another long lost sculpt and a new character (and sculpt) These are both going to be lottery, but a portion of the 2000 edition that each doll gets, will be allocated to the public, in a manner not yet disclosed.

Annik is back - she’s one of the rarest sculpts appearing in collections and, while not one of the most popular, she sure has a steady group of fans out there. It is also the first time she appears in a lighter skin tone - she’s usually Nubian or Dark-A tone. It suits her fine. Her hairstyle could have been a bit more distinct than that of the convention Rayna, but then again not everyone could get that one. Another thing she is sharing with that doll, is that over-size trend - her jacket is following the (now waning) trend, while the pants compliment it with pleats and a gathering on each leg with a removable belt. Her corset is a fake one, just mimicking the shape of a stomacher with ribbons stitched on it to mimic boning. Nice idea, not crazy about the execution. From the accessories, the bag stands out with its sculpted handle. The flower choker is a nice touch too. She’s at $160.00 for club members but, for that price, she does not have that extra something for me. Plus she has the same hairline as Fit To Print Nadja and that can only mean disaster.

Isn’t he gorgeous? Hello Thiago! Look at that face, those lips! He has a gorgeous sculpt, one of the best seen on the guys lately. They finally got the open mouth on a man right, after the disaster that was Dracula/Perry Marino. He looks like a cross between Jessy himself and Balmain designer Olivier Rousteing, which is great. His clothes are beautiful and would complement (and mix and match) with Weekender Lucas’ outfit. I particularly adore the coat, which is straight out of a sci-fi film. I love the feminine touches like the pearl necklace, the corset and the drop earring. The felted gloves are an interesting touch, wondering how long they will last. He’s the only one ready for shipping, right after the lottery ends, which is too close to other doll commitments - but I really like him. Should I?
