Barbie celebrated her 65th birthday this year but it's not the anniversary dolls that make me interested!

Barbara Millicent Roberts celebrated her 65th birthday this year - and of course there were the corresponding collector’s anniversary dolls to mark the occasion (along with a slew of play-line releases) but it was not any of them that caught my eye. Instead, I loved a new release exclusive to Mattel Creations, available for sale on the 21st of March 2024 on their website: Barbie Styled by Design Doll 1.

BARBIE STYLED BY DESIGN DOLL 1

SKU: HRM31

Label: Gold

Collection: Barbie Styled by Design

Designer: Suim Noh

Release Date: 2024

For our first entry in the Styled by Design series, we put the spotlight on designer Suim Noh to create a fabulous new Barbie doll. Inspired by fashion illustrations from the 1970s, Suim captured the decade’s exaggerated style with a bright pink satin dress featuring an oversized bow. Accessorized with black gloves, stiletto over-the-knee boots, and rhinestone accessories, this doll reflects Suim’s vision of elegance, extravagance, and nostalgia.

SKU#: HRM31

What a gorgeous Barbie doll - and without the usual sweet smile that they have (65th anniversary dolls included). The sculpt is Claudette, which is usually, if not only, found on collector limited editions, and it is one of my very favourites, because of the high fashion look it has. Her face paint looks good, if you ignore the black crease line in her eyes that shows the dreaded pixels (I mean… they could have avoided that, right?). Her hairstyle is too simple for such a doll, but I am guessing it helps keep the cost down. Would have preferred her being in the pivotal body.

I love her dress and the colour combination - very French. Also notice that she has metallic jewellery and her boots are made of fabric and not plastic! All these should be self evident in collector dolls but with Mattel there is no guarantee. Too bad she is such a limited edition and will disappear in a blink of the eyes. I’d love to have her and it looks like she’s the first in a series, so I’m excited to see what comes next. She looks great in her box too.

Item # 91557
Holiday Spot
Dania Zarr™ Dressed Doll
The Fashion Royalty® Collection
2024 W Club Upgrade Doll

Edition Size: TBD
Price: $165 + Shipping*

*This doll will have a $30 non-refundable deposit due immediately, with $135 + shipping balance due at shipping time, approximately in Fall 2024.

Head Sculpt: Dania
Body Type: FR 6.0
Foot Sculpt: High-heeled
Skin Tone: Blush
Hair Color: Soft Ebony
Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

The Story: When famous European TV personality Dania Zarr was "spotted" during a fashionable getaway in Rome, looking ever-so-chic and sporting a brand new sophisticated short hairdo, the look instantly went viral and was dubbed "The Dania"! Hair salons were bombarded with requests for that specific look, but no one could pull it off quite like she did!

Includes:

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

• Sophisticated polka dot dress with asymmetric handkerchief hem and spaghetti straps;

• Removable black belt;

• Matching polka dot headwrap;

• Hammered texture dangle hoop earrings;

• Hammered texture bangle bracelets;

• Oversized ring;

• White sunglasses;

• Red "patent leather" handbag;

• Contrasting polka-dotted ankle strap pumps;

• Pair of hands with long manicured nails;

• Alternate pair of grip hands;

• Doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

I love Dania with short hair - it gives her a very current Linda Evangelista feel (even though to me Eugenia will always be Linda in Fashion Royalty dolls). She looks stunning (Mothership screening) and rekindled my interest in getting an upgrade doll again, after last year’s none. Should we worry that the prototype has a badly drawn eyeliner or will it be fixed for production? She does give the intended Audrey Hepburn impression, as Jessy said in the video presentation, especially from her early days in Roman Holiday (Jessy talked about Sabrina and the b&w gown but they showed a background photo of a moped). I love the texture in the dress fabric. And what fabulous accessories! The bag is in the style of the Cannolo bag by Jill Sander (thanks to goddess Nevraforever for the help in identifying this!) I must say that this year’s prices are $5.00 up from last year’s (which was the same as the year before). Not much, but not nothing either. And it surely preambles an increase in general pricing going forward. 

Item # 82173
Sweet Retreat
Rayna Ahmadi™ Dressed Doll
The NU. Face™ Collection
2024 W Club Upgrade Doll

Edition Size: TBD
Price: $ 165+ Shipping*

*This doll will have a $30 non-refundable deposit due immediately, with $135+ shipping balance due at shipping time, approximately in Fall 2024.

Head Sculpt: Rayna
Body Type: NF 3.0
Foot Sculpt: High-heeled
Skin Tone: Sunkissed
Hair Color: Chestnut Brown
Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

The Story: After all that reality TV drama, Rayna Ahmadi is taking a much-needed retreat in Ibiza! Looking sweeter than ever with a spring in her step, this much needed vacay is just what the doctor ordered! Well... maybe those all-night parties aren't exactly what the doctor had in mind!

Includes:

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

• Sweet pink flared tweed shorts with matching youthful cropped vest with "pearl" detailing;

• Matching pink satin headwrap;

• Removable Robin's egg blue and "pearl" belt;

• Additional removable "pearl" belt with drop "pearl" detail;

• Lavender handbag with "N" monogram detail and "gold" accents;

• "Gold" "N" and "U" monogram earrings;

• "Gold" chain necklace;

• "Gold" and "pearl" ring;

• White "lace" socks;

• Robin's egg blue ankle strap pumps;

• Pair of long manicured hands;

• Alternate pair of grip hands;

• Doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

She’s a lovely doll, I’ll give her that. She even reminds me of model Bella Hadid. But, I already own Natural Wonder Rayna and Wild Feeling Rayna, both more fierce and stylish and powerful. She pales in comparison to them. If you do not own any of those two though, she’s a perfect buy. And very versatile. Her colouring owes a lot to Going Public Eugenia but adjusted for Rayna. Love the accessories (Valentino inspiration bag and earrings), could not care less about the outfit (is it Versace?). Pass, even though I’d love to have the accessories.

Item # 77253
Angel Eyes
Poppy Parker® Dressed Doll
The Poppy Parker® Collection
2024 W Club Upgrade Doll

Edition Size: TBD
Price: $ 160+ Shipping*

*This doll will have a $30 non-refundable deposit due immediately, with $130 + shipping balance due at shipping time, approximately in Fall 2024.

Head Sculpt: Poppy
Body Type: PP 1.5
Foot Sculpt: High-heeled
Skin Tone: Blush
Hair Color: Dark Brunette
Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

The Story: When Poppy Parker was initially cast in her historic role in "Undercover Angel", the producers were left asking who else they could cast that had the charm, beauty and talent to match Poppy Parker without getting overshadowed? The only answer they kept landing on was... nobody! Thus, everyone's favorite teenage model turned TV superstar got the groundbreaking opportunity to play opposite of herself as "Angel Eyes"!

Includes:

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

• Glamorous golden metallic disco-inspired one-piece jumpsuit;

• Golden clutch purse;

• Chunky golden platform high-heeled shoes;

• Gold-tone toy gun accessory;

• "Gold" drop circle earrings;

• Matching "gold" circle bracelet;

• Pair of long-manicured hands;

• Alternate pair of grip hands;

• Doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

And there she is: the second Charlie’s Angels inspired doll (after Undercover Angel Poppy channeling Farrah Fawcett), Jaclyn Smith lookalike Poppy! Many had asked for more dolls inspired from the legendary 70s TV series and it seems David Buttry is giving them to us! She does not have a second outfit as the first one did (upgrade dolls come with one set of clothes) and they did show a sneak peek of a 70s style outfit that fits her and will be available later in the year to W Club members (see the video, link further up), but the first doll with two outfits was only $15.00 more and it really feels disappointing. I will be getting this one cause I love my Angels (and her name is Angel Eyes which also is a favourite Olivia Newton-John song), but the whole situation makes getting her not feel that satisfying.

If you are ready to join the W Club for 2024, go on and sign up here. And let me know in the comments if you will be getting any of the upgrades and which ones.

The 5th and final W Club Exclusive doll of the 2023 membership year was revealed on Thursday, instead of Friday, which was the date expected according to the previous presentation.

The Story:

Bathed in the luminescent glow of the underwater city, Violaine, the glamorous French mermaid with artfully tattooed scales and a flowing mane of pearlescent hair, captivated the ocean’s depths. Known for her enchanting voice that echoed through coral reefs, she held court among vibrant marine life. Violaine’s tales of hidden treasures and sunken ships spread far and wide, attracting admirers from distant oceans. One moonlit night, as she danced beneath the waves, a lone sailor, drawn by the melody of her song, discovered the mythical beauty, forever entwining their destinies in the depths of the sea. Designed by Jessy Ayala.

Included In This Gift Set:

• 12.5-inch articulated doll with rooted hair, painted top eyelashes and non-removable "belly ring" detail;

• Custom-made "gold" bra-top with chain straps and "pearl" embellished design and ethereally elaborate custom-designed and printed mermaid tail (designed to fit with flat feet pointed all the way downward, included);

• Separate aquamarine column, calf-length plissè skirt with cascade ruffle detail;

• Sea foam sequined bra top with criss-cross strap and starfish detailing and separate sequined mini-skirt embellished with an elaborate "marabou" feather train;

• Two removable custom-made mermaid "ear fins" (one for each side of her head, attached via each ear) with "gold" shell and hanging "pearl" embellishments;

• "Gold" and "pearl" belly chain;

• Functional seashell clutch with magnetic closure;

• "Gold" cuff bracelet;

• Charm bracelet;

• Starfish earrings;

• "Gold" ring with "pearl" deco;

• Thigh-high golden boots (designed to fit high-heeled feet lower legs, included);

• Aquamarine high-heels with "pearl" embellished straps;

• Pair of long-manicure hands;

• Alternate pair of grip hands;

• New! Seashell base doll stand with two types of rods to display both the mermaid in a "floating" pose and a regular doll;

• Certificate of authenticity.

Let me start by stating that I am no big fan of mermaid dolls. The are fun to look at but to me they are too cutesy and veer too close to playline, no matter the usual design and colouring, which usually fits into stereotypes: blonde hair, blue eyes, rainbow/sea foam colours, lots of pearls, long wavy hair. Unfortunately this one checks all stereotypes.Bering Greek, and Generation X, I grew up with mermaids (Sirens) being ancient Greek mythical creatures that lured sailors to their death with their irresistible song. The only alternative to that was Alexander the Great’s sister, who roamed the seas, asking ships if her brother was alive. If sialors replied no, she sunk the ship, if yes, she was happy to let them go. So mermaids were demonic creatures that brought despair and destruction to ships, not the cute ladies we keep seeing nowadays. Disney definitely had a lot to do with this transformation, as even the original Little Mermaid tale by Hans-Christian Andersen is quite different from the cartoon/real life remakes that studio has done. 

As you can tell from the previous paragraph, I was not awed by the last W Club doll of 2023. My collection veers towards fashion, even when the actual doll is based on real or fantastic persons/characters, and the only mermaid I have in it was a gift from the office secret Santa. 

Violaine is a beautiful doll, no doubt about that, ans I am really happy for those of you who waited years for such a doll to appear in Nu Fantasy. I would have preferred a more fashion styled doll like the OOAK Siren Rayna that Jessy had done for the Fashion Fairytale convention in 2017. That one used the theme as a base to create an incredibly gorgeous doll with a more avantguard look and feel. Violaine has lovely make up but not something unusual, apart from not having applied eyelashes, as Jessy did not find the suitable shade of blue he wanted to match his concept - and I totally understand that. Her hair looks like iridescent noodles to me, I’d have liked something more like the OOAK Rayna mentioned before.

Her non-mermaid fashions are based on a Versace Spring-Summer 2022 skirt (the sort ruffled one) and a David Koma Spring-Summer 2023 ensemble (starfish bra and short skirt with feather marabou train). The mermaid bra is inspired by old chandeliers, like the ones one could find in an old grand ship wreckage like the Titanic. She has the flat feet set to wear the iridescent mermaid tail and the high heeled one to wear either thigh high gold boots or pearl encrusted high heeled sandals. The mermaid ears with pearl clusters are probably the best thing about the accessories, as well as the conch shell clutch, which is functional. The stand base mimics a shell, making this look even more play-line, but has two alternatives, depending on whether you display the doll with or without the mermaid tail. Again, I am happy for all you people that wanted this doll so much, but for me it’s a hard pass.

You can see the doll in the video below:

The 4th W Club doll of the year is Redefined Luxury Kyori Sato!

The 4th W Club Exclusive doll of the 2023 membership year was eagerly expected by members, as we had been tipped by Carol Roth that the doll would be a love letter to collectors and be something really exquisite. And, lo and behold, it's not just a love letter to collectors, it harkens back to the legendary early Fashion Royalty gift sets and, as an added bonus, it features the highly-anticipated return of a collector favourite character: Kyori Sato returns as Redefined Luxury. Designed by Jessy Ayala, the doll comes with three different outfits plus a lingerie set and a suite of jewellery. Furthermore, it comes in a special case instead of the normal box, that is similar to the old style gift set cases. It was shown by Alain during the live presentation, but there was no relevant photo in the email.

Item # 91552

Redefined Luxury

Kyori Sato® Gift Set

The Fashion Royalty® Collection

2023 W Club Exclusive Doll

Edition Size: TBD

Expected Ship Date: Approximately Summer 2024

Head Sculpt: Kyori Sato 1.0

Body Type: FR 6.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: Blush

Hair Color: Dark Brunette

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

MSRP: $350 + S & H

Special W Club Price*: $299 + S & H

Sales method: These dolls are guaranteed made-to-order for 2023 W Club members only- 1 per membership.

($75.00 NRD deposit due now, $224.00 + S & H due in approximately Summer 2024)

The Story:

The ever-elusive Kyori was spotted by fans in Tokyo after months of being out of the spotlight of the Parisian social scene. She was reportedly seen going into private meetings with some of the most prestigious jewelry houses in Ginza. While speculation ran wild about what she was up to, little did everyone know, she was just doing some last minute bauble shopping before making her grand return to Paris (and... maybe sprinkling in a little rendezvous with a mystery person before she came back)!

Included In This Ultra-Luxurious Gift Set:

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

• Chic black tweed skirt with thigh-slit and safety pin detailing, matching black tweed jacket with cuff and collar detailing and sleeveless plunging blouse;

• Luxe houndstooth statement coat with lace-up back detail;

• Removable black belt with golden buckle;

• Bra and panty set with lace trim and bow detail;

• Separate beige corset teddy with glamorous sheer polka-dotted gathered over-dress;

• Black purse with golden chain;

• Thigh-high black boots with intricate golden heel;

• Black pumps with statement heels and bow detail;

• Black sunglasses;

• Golden and "pearl" jewelry set comprised of long necklace and ring;

• Golden and black cuff bracelet with "pearl" accent;

• "Silver" jewelry set comprised of matching thick necklace, drop earrings, shorter earrings, ring and brooch;

• Ring box and necklace box;

• Pair of long-manicure hands;

• Alternate pair of grip hands;

• Luxury gift set packaging with carry handle;

• Doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

To say that she’s a jaw-dropping doll would be an understatement! If all the people watching the online live presentation were in the same room at the moment of unveiling, there would have been heard a collective gasp. What a great way to not only bring Kyori 1.0 sculpt back, but also give an exquisite doll to W Club members. I’m partial to this sculpt of the character versus the newer version, so it is an added joy to have this doll offered. Her face screening was based on the A Brighter Side Kyori screening (she was a FAO Schwartz exclusive in 2007) and her hairstyle looks to me as a more refined version of Bueno Sera Kyori’s. Jessy characterised it as “old money” hair, but the truth is that bobbed hair cuts are all the rage lately.

The rest of the gift set is a lift off the legendary Ginza Kyori Sato gift set, which came in a case much like the one this set will come in and had four look plus the lingerie set. It follows the colouring and vaguely the styling but it is not a direct copy with different colours, which for me is an added bonus. I find the fashions in this set much better than the old ones. The outfits are redefined luxury galore: the gown and coat are both from Schiaparelli, from the Fall 2023 and Spring 2023 Haute Couture collections respectively. The gown can have the top styled it two different ways, with the netting up or down, which is awesome. The coat would have looked better quilted (and the fastening at the back looked more prominent), but it is visually striking as is. The suit is almost a hybrid: the jacket is definitely Gaultier Haute Couture Spring 2023, designed by Haider Ackermann, while the skirt looks a bit like the style done by Versace for Anne Hathaway’s gown at the Met Gala in 2023, as a homage to Karl Lagerfeld. It looks amazing. The lingerie set could be missing and I would not bat an eyelid, but the jewellery is magnificent and some of the pieces are in gorgeous jewellery cases. The Chanel style bag is beautiful but there’s no clutch for the gown. Love the boots and pumps.

The price is quite steep (the original Ginza gift sets were $220 back in 2004 and were limited to 500 for the blonde and 100 for the redhead dolls), but you get lots of great stuff for it, and a gorgeous doll to boot. I am curious to see how many order her, as the praise has been almost unanimous.

Dolly Days 2024 - Day 4: A modular trunk system!

For Day 4 of Dolly-Days, and based on many collectors' requests, Integrity Toys introduced a new doll trunk, designed by Alain Tremblay to display and store dolls and their miniature fashion accessories and clothes. For this final Dolly-Days offer, because of the modular nature of this set, W Club members will have an unlimited priority pre-order window until Friday, February 9th at 3 PM Eastern Time and special W Club-only discounted pricing. This means that members can purchase as many of the trunk and the additional components sold separately as they wish.*

Item #15104

Modular Trunk System:

Base Unit

IT Direct Exclusive

Edition Size: MTO

Expected Ship Date: Late Summer 2024

Dimensions (Closed):

12.25" Wide X 16" High X 7" Deep

Dimensions (Open/Per Set):

25" Wide X 16" High X 7" Deep

Approximate Total Weight:

8.5 lbs / 3.9 kg

MSRP: $250 + S & H

Special W Club Price: $225 + S & H

($50 non-refundable deposit per trunk base unit due now and balance of $175 + shipping due once the sets ship later in 2024)

Sales method: First-come, first-served W Club priority pre-order window starting immediately with no membership limit. Once the trunk (and add-on components sold separately) arrive later in 2024, should quantities remain, they will be offered to the general public at the higher MSRP price.

The Story:

A long time in the making, Integrity Toys is proud to bring you a fun new modular trunk system that will allow you to combine multiple trunks together to create a full environment for your dolls and create the miniature walk-in closet of your dreams! Featuring special hinges that allow the two main sections of the trunk to unlatch, as well as individual inner components that can be pulled out and re-arranged in various ways (or combined with other components sold separately) to create a fully customizable experience, you'll be able to organize, store and display all those tiny, Integrity Toys fashion accessories, doll clothing and more in a way never before possible!

Included:

• Beautifully crafted two-part carry case featuring latch-hinges, faux-leather carry handle and "GENUINE INTEGRITY TOYS" plaque deco;

• One removable doll storage compartment;

• One removable standing doll scale standing mirror;

• One removable shoe/boot rack;

• One removable, basic shelving unit (perfect to store all those adorable luggage pieces, not included!);

• One removable closet component;

• 10 chrome-plated metal hangers;

• One removable two-door armoire;

• Certificate of authenticity.

What a lovely surprise! I started collecting FR just in time to miss the big Refresh and Renew Trunk released back in 2006, which retailed at $224.99 and always wanted one! This is smaller in size, but, as you can see below, one can connect multiple trunks to make a larger one, and also get extra modular units to customize the look and function of the interior of the trunk. My only worry is that the material used for the finish is pleather (per the liaisons reply to a member email, the trunk is made of high impact/strong card stock and  variety of synthetic materials. Covered with vinyl/pleather and finished inside with a custom embossed velvet material. \they also note that the original trunk was constructed in the same manner, cardstock covered with vinyl), which we all know is very volatile with time - but the old trunk was made of the same materials and I have never seen anyone complaining of damage to that one. I will order this one and some of the extra units, although I know the shipping cost will kill me. Having used lots of larger doll trunks for ages as storage units for their outfits and accessories (the Franklin Mint ones), I know it is very convenient for me and my collection to have trunks like this around. Maybe in time I can get a second one too. I only wish that it had the drawers instead of the cupboard in the base trunk, they are so much more useful. On a side note, the liaisons also confirmed that you can open it to form a straight line from one side to the other.

Sales method: First-come, first-served W Club priority pre-order window starting immediately with no membership limit. Once the trunk (and add-on components sold separately) arrive later in 2024, should quantities remain, they will be offered to the general public at the higher MSRP price.

The Story:

So many little accessories, shirts, sweaters and items of doll clothing that are not really designed to be hanged, where to store them all? This high-quality 6 drawer chest component can be incorporated into the modular trunk system to create an elaborate cabinet to store and organize all those cherished, highly collectible pieces we all love so much in the neatest possible way! Note: This is a new component and it is not included with the base unit, it is only sold separately.

Included:

• Cabinet component;

• Six removable drawers with built-in chrome handles;

• Certificate of authenticity.

This is the element I wish was included in the basic trunk, instead of the cupboard. Drawers are so much better to keep jewellery and very small items inside, instead of the cupboard.

The Story:

Your favorite Integrity Toys dolls and figures have an extensive wardrobe and we are all looking for cute ways to store and organize all those miniature couture pieces! This is your chance to add extra closet units to your modular trunk set to expand your doll clothing storage capacity! Each set includes 10 high-quality, miniature Integrity Toys doll hangers. Note: One closet and 10 hangers come included with each base unit, but we are also selling this component separately so that you can have more clothing storage space.

Included:

• Modular closet unit designed to fit inside the modular trunk set;

• 10 chrome-plated metal hangers;

• Certificate of authenticity.

This is good for storing more clothes on hangers. What I have not seen though is an extra element with space to hang long dresses and gowns or pants - the height of this unit does not look adequate for storing items like these. Also, another extra that would have been awesome to see: a vanity desk, stool and mirror. Maybe with functioning lights. Next time Alain? Please? And since I mentioned Alain, here is a video with him showing us the trunk.
