As with many things this year, the 2020 IFDC Convention was delayed until next year due to the ongoing pandemic. What was not delayed (well, not much, considering), is the set of dolls based on this year's theme that were already designed and made. David Buttry and Vaughn Sawyers created a collection of four Poppy Parker dolls based on this yeat’s IFDC theme and they were revealed first to the would-be attendees and then to W Club and the rest of the world. As usual, a portion of the total edition size of each doll has been set aside for the W Club, while the bulk goes to the people that had registered for the convention.

Am I the only one getting Monaco Royale Vanessa vibes from this one? She’s Vaughn’s design, inspired by his 2003 IFDC Midnight In Monaco Véronique doll. The gown is a bit awkward for Poppy, as if she’s into her mother’s dress to play. Cute but pass. Lady Luck of course brings to mind the “Luck Be A Lady” song from the Guys And Dolls musical.

She’s the yang to Sizzling in Paris yin, so she’s probably designed by David Buttry. Beautiful doll and a very showgirl-y outfit. If it only had more feathers instead of tulle! Love the mask!

For me she’s hands down the most beautiful of the bunch. And despite the weird style of the cape, I like the outfit too, although I’d rather it had a shawl collared cape. Missing a necklace though - just imagine a pearl chocker with a jewelled clasp. This one was probably designed by Vaughn.The title brings to mind Rita Moreno singing (dubbed by Leona Gordon) “We Kiss In The Shadow” from “The King And I” film. The doll does look like a young Rita, no?

She’s obviously a David Buttry design, bearing lots of his favourites and things we have seen before in different iterations (like the mesh dress). Beautiful doll and lovely colours. The tote bag rocks! And of course the name references the Viva Las Vegas! Elvis Presley film, while the doll surely brings to mind the inimitable Ann Margret.
