Integrity Toys 2024 convention - Stilettos Out day 1: The convention collection and welcome doll

This year, Integrity Toys decided that it was about time they returned to an in-person convention, instead of the virtual online events they organized from 2020 onward, because of the pandemic. It sold out as is always the case with the IT events. They did a rehearsal last year with the Curated event (which was sold out as well but it left much to be desired in the organization department). So you can imagine that all club members, even the ones not attending, held their breath waiting for the event to start.

And then the unexpected happened: attendees received an email, about a week from the event, that the dolls for the convention had not arrived and would not be at the hotel, due to a combination of port workers three-day strike, the repeated hurricanes striking US east coast etc. Instead, attendees would have to make do with the prototype dolls on display, a QR code system to place their orders on-site. The dolls would ship to the attendees homes after the event and the company would supply gift cards as credit for the shipping costs. The furore of the club members was such (plus pointing out a clause in the terms and conditions of the convention ticket that specified free shipping in case the dolls were not delivered at the event), that IT had to change course and give real free shipping to all attendees. Of course those attending that come outside the US still have to pay taxes /custom duties when dolls are shipped to them instead of travelling back in their suitcase, and that is quite an extra cost to shoulder. The overall tone of the email did not help, as it was far from apologetic and more like “oops! we had an accident, no biggie”. The fact that the company waits until the very last week before an event to receive their merchandise for it shows poor planning. Even people like me, outside the US, knew about the hurricane season troubles, even the planned port workers strike. Also, since the pandemic, shipping keeps having serious problems with being on time (not that it did not have any before, but…), so it is always prudent to plan ahead of time. Anyway, let’s hope that all this will be seriously addressed at some point in the convention, directly from IT to their loyal, hard cash earned paying customers face to face.

So, on with the show - what is the Stilettos Out story all about? As per the club email:

Many highly sought-after, ultra-rare artefacts have disappeared all over the world and no one, not even the savviest, most fashionable detectives from the the SSB (Secret Style Bureau) and other covert agencies like FPI (Fashion Police International) have been able to figure out how these seemingly disconnected items are related! This year’s convention attendees were invited to participate in this intriguing mystery, tasked to help fictional true crime podcaster/blogger Donna Drake collect clues that will ultimately solve this decades-old cold case!

On the first day of the event, attendees arrived for registration (with early registration taking place on the previous day) and received their welcome bag, which included a mysterious dossier with some clues, and also learned they were getting a Welcome Gift Set, seeing the first part, the "Cryptic Cases" Imogen Lennox as Donna Drake doll, to be completed with more clothes and accessories during the event. The whole thing is part of the clue searching, as she’s the investigating agent all attendees must help uncover the mystery. Below, you can see the Welcome Gift Set doll as well as the Convention Collection dolls, available for attendees at the Souvenir Shop along with the NU. Face Seven Style Lab, which will be in the next article.

Imogen looks beautiful and must have been a welcome surprise to people registering for the convention, as there had been no mention of a welcome doll in the event communication. She does remind me of Be Daring Imogen 2016 club upgrade doll and also the Tropicalia 2012 convention had Imogen as a welcome gift set too! She looks quite basic now, let’s see what else she will acquire during the event to complete her set - and solve the mystery perhaps?

Vanessa looks like an Old Hollywood screen siren here, like Ava Gardner or Jane Russel. Bombshell material! Her screening looks a bit off to me, as if she’s trying to imitate someone else - let’s say Natalia for example.The hairstyle contributes to that feeling as well.Love her opera glasses! The shoes, corsage and stiletto (this style of a dagger makes it a stiletto) could have been part of the Magia 2000 Vanessa, no?

Alejandra is at her most daring here, with shaved brows and a very revealing sexy outfit. Unfortunately she looks like a Cold Carbon pale imitation (pun intended) and also channels a certain singer that I feel disgusted even thinking about, because of his abuse issues. Hard pass.

Cute Poppy but looks like a mash up of previous releases: Take Midas Touch, give her the Lady Luck/Spice screening in matching colours and an outfit reminiscent of Gold Snap, shake well and presto! She looks gorgeous and the photo above kind of gives Diana Ross vibes during her Supremes era.

Poppy Parker plays Leia Organa in Star Wars: The Fashion Movie! Her braided hairstyle, apart from the famous film icon, reminds me of the Tokyo Twilight Poppy. She has the Spicy in Spain screening. Do you remember the Style Lab 2018 convention collection? It was named Miss behave and had a build-a-doll Poppy Parker doll as gift if you had all the collection bought (her pieces were hidden inside the other doll/outfit boxes). Her outfit is very 60s era space age looks, like the ones made by Courrèges and Cardin.

Raven_Tate_Tanaka

A new version of Tate Tanaka is always good news. When I first saw online photos of this guy from the convention (the prototype doll displayed there), I was instantly smitten. After a while though I noticed two things that made me go hmmm - his bland screening and his huge forehead. When you name a character Raven, you should go that little bit towards the goth connotations, no? Some eyeliner, a stronger brow. The suit is kind of tame, if you take out the boots and leather cummerbund, but I like its texture, like a deconstructed tweed.

A lovely version of Constance, that somehow does not pass muster for a spy, even though she is holding a retro-futuristic gun and a finger cigarette holder. She’s more like a film noir heroine, who just murdered her cheating husband and is waiting for the sleuth protagonist to show up. I love the light blue stones of her jewellery set.

Who is the mysterious character embodied by Elyse? Do not google it, you’re in for a great laugh (or not, depending on your situation). Don;t they google the perspective names of characters before they trademark them? LOL. Anyway, she’s a gorgeous doll, with an amazing gown and quite an original screening for Elyse. it shows what you can do if you step, even just a bit, out of the so-called box. Great work Alain (he designed Imogen too). Having said that, she has very minimal accessories - and why aren’t the shoes photographed with the rest of them? She needed at least a bracelet and a ring.

Dolly Fridays 2: The TRUE™ Collection is unveiled - Industry reborn!

The 2nd Dolly Friday W Club presentation was about a full collection, the second one revealed this club year (after Poppy Parker’s Palm Springs), which could be a sign of things returning to a more regular pace after the disruptions experienced beginning in 2020. There were six dolls unveiled in total, from the brand new TRUE Collection, all created by IT designers David Buttry and Mark Tinkey. The line is a rebranding of Industry, with a bit of Dynamite Girls pizzaz thrown in. Two dolls are IT Direct lottery items, while the rest are available through official IT dealers. I like what David and Mark are doing here - the collection is cohesive and has a definite point of view, combining the various inspirations and influences in a strong and relatable manner. Some dolls tend to look cartoony, edging closer to Dynamite Girls than Industry, but that was to be expected. Let’s hope this iteration stays and does not need another revamp to sell.

Very_Necessary_Hollis_Hughes_doll_

We first saw Hollis in Style Lab and she was a popular sculpt, so here she is again as a TRUE character. She has a lovely face and nice make up, but the hair is very play-line. Her outfit is a mix and match of many disparate things that kind of work. Nice to see a different shape for sunglasses. She looks the most adult of the bunch. Hollis, like all the other female dolls of the collection, comes with two pair of feet, high heeled and articulated flat feet, even though they have only one pair of shoes.

The Story:

  • Doll stand;

  • Certificate of authenticity.

Big_Love_Tulabelle_True_doll_

This is the first time that Tulabelle appears in a darker skin tone, at least in this sculpt version. I still cannot bring myself to like this sculpt - even though her resemblance to Ginger is stronger. The styling is very Gucci by Alessandro Michele and also has some Twiggy vibes. Awesome combination of colours throughout - and I love the miniature corduroy fabric. The boots are for the articulated flat feet she comes with, but of course one can use the high heeled feet to let her wear other styles.

  • Certificate of authenticity.

Probably one of the best versions of this sculpt, Liu Liu looks fantastic here - especially her colourful outfit. It consists of various items that work well together but also will work great in other outfits. I love the quirky hat (fox pin included) - it transforms the whole ensemble. The shoes and earrings are also great accessories and will be easily worked in other outfits. Love the printed bag too - David said it is a custom print, as pretty much all of the prints of this collection. Her face is a bit cartoony with this screening, reminding me a lot of Mulan dolls, but that might also be part of her appeal.

Drop_that_ish_Tate_Tanaka_doll_

Tate is usually the most popular doll in any collection he’s part of, and this one is no exception. He has a fully flocked head here and it is his first with a darker skin tone- each of his previous iterations had pale skin. His outfit is awesome - the plaid shirt looks a lot like the famous Alicia Silverstone Clueless outfit (and Salvador Arriaga staple) and matches with a gorgeous teddy bear backpack! Awesomeness! Furry bucket hat, multicoloured sneakers, necklace, glasses and watch complete the layered look. The whole look has value for money and I wonder why we cannot have this combination of price/clothing items + accessories in other lines. I’m happy that I managed to be confirmed for him.

The Story:

Socialite Jasper Jagger has done a lot in a very short amount of time. From being a part of her family’s media empire to creating her own popular cosmetic line at 20, this has all made her a known social media darling. She and Tulabelle are very close but have also been known to have their very public disagreements but no matter what, she’s been there for her bestie… for the most part.

Hurts_Like_Heaven_Jasper_Jagger_doll_

Contrary to many collectors, I never liked Jasper. I find the sculpt not only cartoony but also weird looking. This version does not change that. She does have a gorgeous outfit though: a fantastic hooded anorak (that I would wear myself), a beautiful bubble hemmed dress over a printed aqua t-shirt, platform gladiator boots and great jewellery (including a scull ring). I hope to be able to find that anorak at one point.

The Story:

Auden Adler is a fixture at fashion shows every season. Starting off as a top fashion blogger, known for his exceptional good looks, and whip smart writing style, he’s now known for being one of the most influential fashion writers in the business. Not bad for someone who was once only known as the “Most Beautiful Boy”.

Mr_Brightside_Auden_Adler_doll_

Included:

  • 12.5-inch articulated figure with rooted hair;

  • Custom knit striped sweater;

  • Distressed green jeans;

  • Brown corduroy jacket;

  • Ash grey socks;

  • Gold-tone chain necklace;

  • Heart finger ring;

  • Head scarf;

  • Sunglasses;

  • Pair of regular male hands;

  • Alternate pair of grip hands;

  • Figure stand;

  • Certificate of authenticity;

Mr_Brightside_Auden_Adler_doll_

Auden was always one of the first dolls to sell out whenever Dynamite Girls dolls were unveiled. He returns here as an homage to the Warhol superstar actor Joe D’Alessandro, a very handsome guy that was part of the Warhol inner circle back in the late 60s and early 70s. He does indeed look like him in his prime, and the outfit channels early 70s hippie style transformed into modern dressing fare. For me, he was an instant reminder of a childhood comic figure, Blek Le Roc, an American hunter from the revolutionary era. I already have two gorgeous blonde Audens, so will skip this lottery. His sweater’s back is cyan (due to having an opening to facilitate his dressing). Love both the corduroy jacket (the scale is awesome) and the distressed effect on the pants.

Fashion Fairytale: Integrity Toys 2017 Convention part 3 - Style Lab Collection The Industry goes to Wonderland

The Style Lab this year marks a major change. No more CI dolls but in their place, The Industry makes its first convention appearance and some Poppy Parker dolls are added to the mix. I wonder if the Poppies have The Industry body as well, which would be logical since they are part of this collection. The designs are inspired by Alice In Wonderland. As per usual, each doll in the Style Lab is sold nude and outfits are sold separately. Again the group as a whole is underwhelming, especially considering both the general theme but also Wonderland. Some of the fashions do rise above the rest but they are the exception that proves the rule. Pet peeve: why do they describe male dolls as figures? They are dolls, simple as that. Now, shall we go down the rabbit hole?

Integrity had done most of the popular fairytales in their Nu Face line, with Wonderland in IFDC 2010, with Dynamite Girl Gavin as Alice. This version of Alice is a bit darker but not goth enough. Maybe on a different doll? It does give off a Russian folk vibe.

There should have been something black instead of those red pants under the coat. A long slit skirt made of fishnet maybe? A mini skirt with a long fishnet overlay making a train in the back? Something suggesting a Queen anyway.

Poppy saves the day again (almost...). This one looks more sexy but not Queenly enough again, as she is the White Queen from Through The Looking Glass. Gorgeous face and Farrah Fawcett hair complement the white dress perfectly. If the boots are fabric I want them!

Here’s the rabbit then. The black and white choice makes it look more like a Playboy bunny dressed for church then a Fairytale inspired one. A monocle and chain watch would have made quite a difference. And the doll is boring, did we not get a similar Liu Liu in the first Industry collection?

I’m so getting tired of pink lips. This Poppy is wearing a modern interpretation of Tweedledee’s outfit (Clueless, right?). The other twin is coming right up and, unfortunately, manages to,upstage his sister!

Milo (new Industry character but I have a suspicion the sculpt is CI) is the Tweedledum incarnation and it rocks! Great doll AND outfit! I might have used a different colour for the jacket though, red or purple.

Obviously this is the Caterpillar. I love the Pucci prints, they match the psychedelia associated with the character. And this is the first AA Tulabelle.

By far the best doll of this collection, Tate Tanaka is a modern Mad Hatter! I love both the doll and the outfit, they are very well thought out and fit the theme perfectly, bringing to mind some of Nu Fantasy’s best moments (Hansel anyone?).

More cheesy than eccentric, the outfit at least has a good proportion of red vs black. He’s the Knave of Hearts (Lover Boy indeed) and I must say Cabot looks a bit better with dark hair.

Not All There (Fashion Only)

IMG_3126.JPG

There’s always one male doll in each Style Lab collection that I don’t like at all, no matter what. This is the one for 2017, even though he’s channeling the Cheshire Cat, one of my favourite characters of Wonderland. Meh does not even begin to describe it. Another new character (again with an old CI sculpt) for Industry that will look great with a different styling.

Two accessory packs were available at the Style Lab, one for the ladies and one for the guys. Mostly stuff we have seen with other dolls, in different colours, but always nice to have more.
