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.

Keeki Adaeze™ Dressed Doll
The Meteor™ Collection

MSRP: $175 + S & H
AVAILABLE ONLY FROM IT DEALERS
Head Sculpt: Keeki Adaeze
Body Type: Meteor 1.0

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!

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;

Statement ring;
"Let them eat cake" purse;
Pair of long-manicured hands;
Pair of alternate grip hands;

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.

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.

Full-leg high-heeled boots with sassy contrasting red heels;
"Jeweled" cross earrings;

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.

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!

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;

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.
