Dolly Days - Day Three: Power Workout Tenzin Dahkling Basic Edition

For Day Three of Dolly-Days, Integrity Toys unveiled a Basic Edition Tenzin Dahkling designed by Alain Tremblay and Vaughn Sawyers. A reminder that Basic Edition dolls 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. That means they also come with minimal clothing and accessories.

W Club members will have a priority pre-order window (one per membership) until Friday, February 9th at 3 PM Eastern Time (should quantities remain) and special W Club-only discounted pricing. After the dolls arrive arrive at the IT Warehouse sometime in mid-to-late March, any remaining quantities will then be made available to the general public at the MSRP.

The Story:

Celebrity trainer Tenzin Dahkling hit the gym in style to help train the top MMA star for his big championship fight! But when he starting posting his New Year's resolutions fitness tips on social media, it seemed like his posts got more likes for his style than his moves!

Included:

• 12.5" articulated fashion figure with rooted hair;

• Custom-made compression sport tights with built-in muscle-support strips and monogrammed logo waistband;

• Black training shoes;

• Permanent tattoo body deco;

• One golden hoop earring;

• Figure stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

Finally a new Tenzin! I did not expect to see him as a basic edition, much less presented in Dolly Days. I like his face and shoes, and that’s about it. His tattoo is great, but I’d rather have it on his shoulder blade than on his pec. And don’t get me started on the hairstyle.

You can also check him out in the video below:

Integrity Toys online event 2023: 7 sins

Another year that Integrity Toys held an online event in place of an actual, in person convention: called 7 Sins, it gave us seven new dolls, all available only to W Club members through right-to-buy lotteries. The dolls belong to various lines from the IT line-up: East 59th, Poppy Parker, Nu Face, Fashion Royalty and Monarchs Homme. Poppy Parker and FR had two dolls each, while the rest of the lines had one. Integrity Toys decided to have all their designers and Percy Newsom, their CEO, meet in Las Vegas with Carol Roth. The City of Sins seems a fitting place for this theme - just imagine it being an actual convention there. But fear no more - at the last moments of the online event, Percy announced that the company will hold their first in person convention for 2024, no more details given. There were two separate videos presenting the dolls, with Carol welcoming each designer to talk about them. The quality of the videos was not very professional, and some of the gimmicks made people look and act awkward but by the end of it they seemed to have fun. Which is always good when you’re working. A game was also held, giving rewards to people who participated in an online IT contest. The collection overall is strong, on a par with the Curated event earlier this year. Let’s check out the dolls.

Item # 73066

Deepest Desire

Della Roux™ Dressed Doll

The East 59th® Collection

7 Sins: The 2023 Integrity Toys Online Event

Edition Size: 600

Expected Ship Date: In stock, should ship once RTB lottery winners have paid.

W CLUB ONLY IT DIRECT RIGHT-TO-BUY LOTTERY.

Head Sculpt: Victoire 2.0/Della

Body Type: E59 1.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: FR Black

Hair Color: Black

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

MSRP: $180 + S & H

Special W Club 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:

Featured in the latest ad campaign for "Desires Lingerie", East 59th model Della Roux explores her more lustful side, as she slips into a little something "more comfortable" for the camera. Will she be the object of your desire? Designed by Chris Stoeckel.

Included:

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

• Lustful lingerie set composed of a strapless satin and lace bra top with bow detail, matching corselette with attached garter belts and separate matching satin panties;

• Dramatic full-length A-line lace peignoir;

• Black thigh-high stockings;

• "Jewel" and "pearl" adorned cuff bracelet;

• Matching elaborate "jewelled" earrings;

• Cigarette holder accessory;

• Black high-heeled slippers with pom pom detail;

• Pair of long-manicured hands;

• Alternate pair of grip hands;

• Doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

Another Della that looks like all previous Dellas a lot, just changing hairstyle and outfit. I love this hairdo, it gives her the look of a 50s silver screen legend, but not enough to justify the cost. And I do not want any more lingerie ensembles in my collection, I already have tons. As for the sin she’s representing, lust=lingerie is a bit expected, no? Just think of her in a slinky semi transparent sequinned floor length sheath with a thigh-high slit up her leg and a dawn feather coat a la Dietrich.

Paolo Marino™ Dressed Fashion Figure

The Monarchs Homme™ Collection

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:

Financier Paolo Marino normally lives a fast-paced, high-stakes type of lifestyle, but now and then, even one of the most successful men in the world needs a break... And when he does, it all stops. Set for an extremely lazy day of doing very little, our man Paolo is just happy to lounge around sipping on one of the expensive spirits he collected to celebrate one of his top deals. But should he worry about anything right now? Nah, maybe tomorrow. Designed by Vaughn Sawyers.

Included:

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

• Two-piece custom printed satin pajama set with open back and wrap-around tie detail;

• Miniature cognac glass accessory;

• Pair of regular Homme hands;

• Alternate pair of Homme grip hands;

• Fashion figure stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

Paolo Marino may be a Wall Street shark but here he looks like a wannabe Miami pimp. A bear skin rug? Really? Is Hugh Hefner his idol? The outfit looks like something Thiago would wear - are they sharing wardrobes? What else are they sharing? So many questions! Please IT, no more men in ponytails, unless they are samurai.Speaking of which, maybe his idol is not Hefner but Iron Fist. Cringe.

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: FR Black

Hair Color: Black

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

MSRP: $180 + S & H

Special W Club 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:

So you would think that sweet, beautiful Poppy Parker has it all, right? Wrong! The truth? Every once in a while, even everyone's favorite teen model wants a little more out of life! Should she covet her frenemy's sass? We don't think so because Poppy is just perfect the way she is! Designed by David Buttry.

Included:

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

• Cocktail mini-dress with top-stitched paneled bustier;

• Custom embroidered three-quarter sleeve swing coat with beading detail;

• Green satin platform heels with ribbon straps;

• Oversized sunglasses with green-tinted lenses;

• Green satin clutch purse;

• Green "jewel" pendant earrings;

• Green "jewel" ring;

• Pair of painted gloved hands with green satin opera-length arm covers;

• Alternate pair of Poppy Parker hands;

• Doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

I am always partial to anything green, so this Poppy would have been right up my alley if: a) I did not intensely dislike this hairdo and b) did not have a limited budget. I love almost everything about her and that emerald green eye shadow is to die for. Maybe Ginger would have been the obvious choice, but look at that close up photo and tell me if it does not scream envy out loud. BTW she has the Oh La La screening.

All For Me

Poppy Parker® Dressed Doll

The Poppy Parker® Collection

7 Sins: The 2023 Integrity Toys Online Event

Edition Size: 1000

Expected Ship Date: In stock, should ship once RTB lottery winners have paid.

W CLUB ONLY IT DIRECT RIGHT-TO-BUY LOTTERY.

Head Sculpt: Poppy

Body Type: Poppy 1.5

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: FR White

Hair Color: Light Blonde

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

MSRP: $180 + S & H

Special W Club 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:

Meet sweet and demure Poppy Parker, a popular teen fashion model who will be featured in an extravagant magazine shoot that is the exact opposite of who she is! Will she be able to pull off the image of a haughty debutante who wants it all at any cost? Will the public even buy that Poppy Parker could be like this, even a little? Nah! It's all just a game and we all know it! Designed by David Buttry.

Included:

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

• Two-piece pale pink brocade skirt suit with oversized faux-fur collar;

• Pale pink bustier top bodysuit;

• Layered micro-chain necklace

• Pale pink "stone" earrings and matching oversized ring;

• Cuff bracelet with pale pink "stone" accents;

• Set of three bangle bracelets with pale pink "stone" accents;

• Bright pink cat-eye sunglasses;

• Pale pink quilted purse with micro-chain shoulder strap;

• Pale pink platform open-toe heels;

• Pink socks;

• "Dollar signs" shopping bag accessory;

• "Never Enough" shopping bag accessory;

• "More & More" shopping bag accessory;

• Pair of long-manicure nail hands;

• Alternate pair of Poppy Parker hands;

• Doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

That’s a Barbie Poppy if I’ve ever seen one! Blonde and dressed in pink, with lots of goodie bags to signify greed (and to drive home the point even more, look at those logos on them), she’s like a reincarnation of Margot Robbie if she ever decides to do “Poppy Parker: The Movie”. Not very exciting apart from that, in contrast to her envious twin. The beauty mark is a lovely touch. Does the texture of her suit remind anyone of paper towels?

Tantrum

Erin Salston™ Dressed Doll

The NU. Face™ Collection

7 Sins: The 2023 Integrity Toys Online Event

Edition Size: 1000

Expected Ship Date: In stock, should ship once RTB lottery winners have paid

W CLUB ONLY IT DIRECT RIGHT-TO-BUY LOTTERY.

Head Sculpt: Erin 2.0

Body Type: NF 3.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: Blush

Hair Color: Manic Pink

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

MSRP: $190 + S & H

Special W Club 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:

Young, rich, and beautiful Erin Salston loves to feel in control at all times, but let the boys be warned: cross her, and you'll be quick to understand the true meaning behind "hell hath no fury like a woman scorned". Hopefully, the vivacious fire that burns in her and drives her creativity can be contained; we'd hate to think what would happen if she truly lashed out! Erin is a fiery beauty to admire and respect... Fire extinguishers are sold separately (lol)! Designed by Jessy Ayala.

Included:

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

• Angry red punk-inspired plaid strapless mini-dress with micro chain and padlock charm accents;

• Biker-inspired short-sleeved swing jacket with faux-zippers, studs and buckle details;

• Bright red cropped 3/4 sleeve turtleneck;

• Lunch bag clutch with custom-printed "doodles";

• Colorful magnetic circle button "pins";

• Two punk-inspired spiked cuff bracelets;

• "Construction nail" ring;

• One "safety pin" earring, one flame earring, and two little hoop pins designed to look like a double piercing;

• Red platform heels with buckle accents;

• Pair of long-manicured hands;

• Alternate pair of grip hands;

• Doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

Best doll of the bunch alongside the following one, Erin is smashing it here. I am not that crazy about pink hair (pink and wrath don’t match that well) but it goes well with the overall punk aesthetic - Vivienne Westwood meets Alexander McQueen on Barbie. Also notice in the photo above that she has an undercut, like a punk girl would. She also reminds me a lot of the Royal Life 2007 convention dolls, especially Odd girl Out Colette Duranger - is this another Moment for Nu Face and Jessy? Is the paper bag clutch a trick or treat reference?

Glorious Vanity

Isabella Alves™ Dressed Doll

The Fashion Royalty® Collection

7 Sins: The 2023 Integrity Toys Online Event

Edition Size: 1000

Expected Ship Date: In stock, should ship once RTB lottery winners have paid.

W CLUB ONLY IT DIRECT RIGHT-TO-BUY LOTTERY.

Head Sculpt: Isabella

Body Type: FR 6.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: Dark A-Tone

Hair Color: Brunette

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

MSRP: $195 + S & H

Special W Club Price: $180 + 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:

Just like Narcissus, the man from Greek mythology who fell in love with his own reflection, top model Isabella Alves redefines vanity with her own vision of self-obsessed beauty. Just look at her, she's perfect! The mirror she's chained to her arm always speaks the truth, or does it? Designed by Jessy Ayala.

Included:

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

• Glorious couture ensemble composed of a mirror finish micro-sequin bandeau top and matching long skirt with exaggerated bouffant peplum and dramatic back slit;

• Hand-held mirror with chain detail;

• Sinuous snake arm bracelet;

• Compact and lipstick accessories;

• Newly developed transparent clutch purse with magnetic closure;

• "Jeweled" earrings and matching ring set;

• Strappy open-toe heels;

• Pair of long-manicured hands;

• Alternate pair of grip hands;

• Doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

Isabella with a mirror to show vanity - plus her “mirrored” outfit. Instead of reusing the same mirror that Nadja had in the Heirloom collection, maybe it could have been an actual mirror bag like the Lady Dior one by Frederic Leclere, instead of the transparent one she actually comes with (see below). That might have also justified the $180 price tag (ouch!), because the dress and accessories don’t. By the way the dress is the custom Vera Wang outfit that Zendaya rocked at the 2021 CFDA Awards. Love the intricate hair do - may be that is the reason for the pricing? Overall nice but not $180 nice.

Delightful Indulgence

Dania Zarr™ Dressed Doll

The Fashion Royalty® Collection

7 Sins: The 2023 Integrity Toys Online Event

Edition Size: 1000

Expected Ship Date: In stock, should ship once RTB lottery winners have paid.

W CLUB ONLY IT DIRECT RIGHT-TO-BUY LOTTERY.

Head Sculpt: Dania

Body Type: FR 6.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: Japan

Hair Color: Pale Blonde

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

MSRP: $195 + S & H

Special W Club Price: $180 + 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:

Socialite and famous European TV personality Dania Zarr knows how to enjoy every single one of life's little pleasures and is more than happy to share with us mere mortals on her new afternoon lifestyle show "Mangez Bien, Vivez Beaucoup"!

Constantly promoting the "jewels" of French cuisine and other decadent indulgences of the rich and famous is a hard job, but someone's got to set an example! Sure, it would be easy for incredulous bystanders to say things like "That gal better watch out, all those good things will eventually get to her", but no, trust her, it's all an illusion! Definitely follow her for more tips on how to live a delightfully decadent life and take a bite out of all of life's luxuries! Designed by Jessy Ayala.

Included:

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

• Indulgent layered look comprised of a form-fitted strapless knee-length brocade dress with a full lace slip-skirt worn under a removable voluminous, floor-length over-skirt with a separate extravagant train;

• Flower brooch;

• Coiled "stone" bracelet;

• Spider ring;

• "Jeweled" earrings;

• Black velvet choker;

• Peach pleated satin clutch purse;

• High-heeled pumps with bow detail;

• Pair of long-manicured hands;

• Pair of painted gloved hands with peach satin opera-length arm covers;

• Doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

Wow! Maybe best doll of the event, this Dania is amazing, The dress is very Balenciaga (both old and new) and it is the gift that keeps on giving, with three distinct looks created from it, depending on the pieces attached or not. The doll is breathtakingly beautiful, with her sleek up-do and great make up. My only complaint is that I would have prefered black velvet opera gloves and a shiny metallic clutch to finish the look. A miniature fan would have also looked good with this. Love that choker. We have seen the spider as a choker before but I do not get how it connects with gluttony. Which otherwise is shown with the dress ever growing volumes as Jessy said during the presentation.

The Story:

Any day is a good day for a picnic, or so the saying goes, however for the ladies of Fashion Royalty, this statement always takes on a high-fashion twist! With this new couture, sexy look, your favourite Parisian socialites will be ready for any glamorous picnic, no matter how decadent and sinful it may be.

Included:

• Mix and match fashion pieces comprised of a black halter style top, matching high-waisted bikini bottom, and pale green low-slung skirt with ribbon ties;

Very interesting outfit - if my budget allowed it I would enter for this. Its inspiration is from look 23 in the Schiaparelli Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2022/23 collection, (even the bag) but would have preferred the outfit to look closer to the original one. The snake shoes can be found online with a little search too.

Devilish Fashion Pack

The Poppy Parker® Collection

7 Sins: The 2023 Integrity Toys Online Event

Edition Size: 500

Expected Ship Date: In stock, should ship once RTB lottery winners have paid.

W CLUB ONLY IT DIRECT RIGHT-TO-BUY LOTTERY.

Fashion pack only, no dolls included.

This fashion is designed to fit Poppy Parker and similar 12-inch/1:6 scale fashion dolls.

MSRP: $90 + S & H

Special W Club Price: $75 + 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:

Will she be good? Will she be bad? No matter what, Poppy Parker dresses the part and takes a walk on the wild side! With her new devilish good looks, our gal Poppy (or maybe one of her fabulously groovy friends) can now turn heads at any party! Designed by David Buttry.

Included:

• Devilishly delightful red lamé mini-dress;

• Layered tulle cape and scarf;

• Red panty;

• Red clutch with contrasting "horned" detail;

• "Ruby" red jewelry set comprised of necklace, bracelet, earrings and rings;

• "Pearl" ring;

• Cat-eye sunglasses;

• Shiny red pumps (designed to fit high-heeled feet);

• Certificate of authenticity.

Nice fashion outfit for Poppy. Not crazy about the tulle coat and the fit of the dress on her body around her belly looks wrong - the tulip shape in this scale is problematic with fabrics like this. Maybe it is something that can be taken care of in styling, as it looks ok when not on the doll (see below). Despite the horns on the clutch, she looks more Christmas-y than devilish. Love her jewellery. The doll is Sizzling in Paris Poppy Parker with a slightly different hairstyle- David said it was an option they considered when designing the doll.

Dolly Fridays 1: The 4th W Club doll for 2022 is Metropolitan Adventurer Tajinder Chowdhury

To start 2023 in a nice way, Integrity Toys replaced Dolly Days (a week of various online doll offerings) with Dolly Fridays: each Friday for the three remaining weeks of January, W Club members will be receiving offerings from the company. The 4th W Club Exclusive of the 2022 membership year was the first doll unveiled on Friday the 13th no less! Designer Vaughn Sawyers was inspired by a metropolitan adventure to come up with a new version of Tajinder "Taj" Chowdhury. The doll was presented in an email, with the Indian character getting whitewashed as a blonde, light-skinned guy (Hungarian was the original script for his skin tone), while in a subsequent email, we were informed that he will be actually made with the Sunkissed tone. More about this after the photos and stats.

How can an experienced, professional, long lived company release proper, styled, well produced photos of a doll’s final prototype and unveil it to the public, then release a hushed, head-on-a-pole photo of said doll in a different coloured skin tone? What the heck happened? Was it a knee-jerk reaction to online comments about whitewashing an Indian character? Some would say it is not the first time we see POC characters appearing in a different skin tone, even lighter or downright pale. I would reply yes we have, but it is the norm that this happens after they establish said characters and have them some years around, not in their very second appearance ever.

The fact is that the prototype photos do make Tajinder look more like Callum, the character that first appeared in this sculpt, a Caucasian character. Indian people do have many different skin tones of course. But this whole situation is kind of weird. It does not help that apart from that, the doll is not something extraordinary. If you check older male Integrity Toys dolls, you will see many iterations of this particular style (suit, long hair, sunglasses, man bag, great shoes, watch etc) and in similar colours (but grey shoes? Really? Yuck). So if it is the first time you are getting such a doll, it is a perfectly stylish buy (although those external pockets add a lot of bulk to the silhouette). For the rest of us, it is a pass. Which makes the W Club dolls I am passing this year three!

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;

• 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.

Backstage with the Hommes: the new Monarchs Homme collection is here!

Integrity Toys and the W CLub had an online event Thursday to present three new Monarch dolls - it started at 3.00 am Greek time, which was not convenient at all. Dear Integrity and Carol Roth, could you please start doing your presentations again on Saturdays at a more convenient time for us (not all of Europe having to watch after midnight!), or at the very least on a Friday so that we do not have to think about waking up early for work the next morning. Also Vaughn mentioned that they are going to be doing more regular presentations for new stuff - but the actual production and delivery is still affected from global events.

There are two new characters, one of which is a brand new sculpt. The other new guy has the sculpt of Kyle Spencer from the American Horror Story: Coven collection. And the third is the Darius 2.0 sculpt. Also note that only Tae Min comes in the Monarch body. Vaughn did a great job of researching and adopting current trends. Two are dealer dolls (Darius and Tae Min) and Rashad is a lottery doll for W Club. Let’s check the guys out.

New Asian character and sculpt - even though there are at least two Asian sculpts forgotten and unused, Takeo Mizutani from Fashion Royalty and Kyu from Dynamite Girls. We need to see them both return! That said, this one is a smash. Apart from the messy hair (which I am certain will never come like this in the final production doll), everything looks amazing . The face is gorgeous, with the eyeliner giving him that extra something that made me pre-order (and confirmed).

His clothing is very on trend and the accessories are great - love the wi-fi icon on the beanie. Is that an Apple Watch? Only thing missing is a bag - and at this price point, it should have been included.

This is the first time I like the new Darius sculpt - great face screening. I am not so sure about the hair though - I would have liked either less dense big braids that would start from the forehead fade, or much thinner braids like the Mattel Looks guy. He is the lovechild of Milli Vanilli and Lenny Kravitz.

His clothing is gorgeous, especially that tromp-l’oeil jacket that looks like he has two, when in fact it is only one, cleverly constructed. If only it had different colour selection. Again, great accessories but no bag. Shame.

Great re-use of the Kyle Spencer sculpt - which I did not like in its first incarnation. If he had shorter hair and a different style of facial hair, I might have entered the lottery. He reminds me a lot of Once Upon A Time’s Colin O’ Donoghue (Captain Hook). Will wait for his next incarnation.

He has the best accessory set of the bunch. Oh wait - you can actually get a bag in this price level - and give a W Club discount too! Come on Integrity, this sucks. hey all should have gotten bags.
