Lilith Blair is on a Natural High!

After the previous open edition basic doll release from Integrity Toys less than a month ago, we have a new one: One of the infamous NU Face twins, Lilith Blair, is appearing as Natural High, available on Thursday 8th of April for order, with the same procedure that was followed for the Poppy Parker basic edition. I am certain that she will be as popular as Poppy was. In other news, Integrity Toys is looking for a professional photographer to work with them, so send in those emails. Wicked Narcissism Eugenia is arriving at the end of April or early May, Pretty Reckless Rayna will arrive to dealers this coming week, while Alexandra will be arriving alongside Eugenia. The company has updated their warranty terms, which are available here, and I think this is the first time I am seeing specific time limits for the different parts that constitute a doll. The lowest time limit for a warranty is four months, and with the mail delays currently afflicting the entire world (no matter which mail carrier one picks), it is not good. Integrity should give this at least six months, as it regards crucial doll parts that are usually problematic as the doll screening and hair rooting, the outfit and the accessories (the body is still under the one year period). With problematic dolls, especially in larger editions, becoming more often lately, this sucks big time.

The Blair twins might be very popular with Integrity Toys doll collectors but with me they are mostly miss and rarely a hit. I have a few in my collection but I find their sculpt too generic and without character. This one is a sister to the 2017 Fairytale convention Changing Winds Eden (Jessy said so in his Instagram post about this one) and I definitely prefer Lilith. I might try to get her now, but then again, I was saying the same for Poppy and I did not even bother. She’s in the darker natural colours that I like so that is definitely a plus.

Integrity Toys releases a new trans doll - and she's a Billion Dollar Baddie

As promised in W Club emails, we had a live presentation with Alain Trembley, Carol Roth and Jessy Ayala last Friday. After giving us news about the convention - it will be virtual this year too, with more participants but less dolls - and a Jem and The Holograms giftset, we got down to business: the unveiling of two new Nu Face dolls that belong to the Reckless Behavior collection, a continuation of the popular 2016 Reckless line. One is Rayna (again! surely Jesse loves this sculpt) and the much awaited Latinx new character, Alejandra Luna. She’s trans and although the first in a main line release, she’s not the first trans doll Integrity Dolls have made. In 2006, Jason Wu designed Amanda Lepore doll for them, a collection of three wigged dolls made from RealSkin resin which mimicked porcelain. Contrary to those very limited editions, Alejandra, alongside Rayna, will be available from dealers - where I hear they are mostly sold out already. The price is $160.00, same as FR dolls were last year.. Wild Feeling Rayna’s mini giftset in December was $175.00, but honestly these two are more value for money.

I was not expecting Rayna to make an appearance so soon after her last one in December, but here she is. And I definitely do not mind as she is breathtaking! While Jessy said she has Natural Wonder Rayna’s screening (another gorgeous Rayna I am the lucky owner of), she reminds me much more of Rock Me, Baby Rayna from the 2012 IFDC convention. Her outfit is amazing and very detailed. I love the eyelet detail and the layering over the mesh t-shirt. The accessories are top-notch: we have the Nu Face choker making an appearance again, as well as a repeat of the teddy-bear backpack, but in a BDSM fetish style. The shrunk leather cap with rhinestone studs is perfection, as well as the unusual gloves and N/F earrings, Hair barrettes, a ring, bracelets and booties complete the look. I was lucky enough to be confirmed for her.

First main line trans doll Alejandra Luna is a gorgeous doll that rocks a fiery outfit. Her sculpt is beautiful and modern, without suffering from the bloated head syndrome that some other new sculpts have. Jessy said she took a lot of time to fine tune and was inspired (more in essence and not exact look) by the trans Bosnian/Australian model/actress Andreja Pejic. I do not see any connection but maybe if we get a version with colours closer to Andreja’s, we might see something. Jessy also said she was made to look like a younger Eugenia Perrin. He said that the hair in the production doll might not be as long. The look is reminiscent of Zerina Akers’ work with Beyoncé. and I love it. The dress has something of Clash Control Erin, the shoes are from Alexander McQueen ad the bag looks like the Balenciaga Hourglass bag. Got confirmed for her as well, so I’m happy!

W Club 2021 registration period is open NOW and until March 8th!

It’s the W Club registration period! From today and until the 8th of March 2021, you can register for membership (one or many) of the W Club and join in! If you read the blog regularly, you already have a good idea of the variety of offerings and privileges that the Club confers to members. This year again the basic fee is $50.00, which is very good, especially considering that half of it is reimbursed as a coupon that can be applied towards any purchase from Integrity Toys from $99.00 upwards. I have been a member for over a decade now and it really is worth it even if you only collect one of the lines that Integrity Toys releases - you get the release information first, you get exclusive dolls, many made to order for the club members and lotteries only available to them. This, along with a relationship with a dealer that you must cultivate (I know it is difficult for new collectors but it is a must), will help you get the dolls you want in retail prices. And, if that does not work (we do not get the dolls we want always as the quantities are finite), there is always the W Club forum which is a great way to meet other club members, get help from more experienced collectors and find opportunities to purchase dolls from members in prices much lower than ebay).

W_Club_2021_registration_header1.png

There was, for the first time ever, a live presentation online, with Carol Roth (who owns and runs the club) and Alain Trembley from Integrity Toys (creative man extraordinaire) - you can see the reveal video here at any time.

What a gorgeous Nadja! She brings to mind a reworked London Show and this will be one of the reasons she will be popular with collectors. Another will be the lovely Alaia Tati Collection inspired outfit and accessories. And a third will be the two bags she carries: miniatures versions of the Dior Book Tote Bag (done in the Tati print to match the outfit) and Jacquemus Le Chiquito bag - one of the most popular designer bags lately. Her face is gorgeous, reminding me a bit of Rihanna. She’ll be coming home.

Elyse is back after a hiatus that lasted all of 2020 - and as an upgrade doll, which is a first for this character, as for Nadja. The skin tone used is a first for Elyse too, she has never been released as an A-tone doll. Jessy said she is an homage to the famous supermodel Iman. She does remind me a bit of her, but her features are quite different. Previous dark skinned Elyse dolls were the second Net-A-Porter 10th Anniversary Jason Wu doll, Seduisante and Luminous, but this one has the darkest skin tone of all. The outfit has been hard to pin down regarding inspiration - many people were reminded of the Fall 2020 Oscar De La Renta collection but there is no dress there that matches Elyse’s. The accessories are beautiful - the bag is like the one Legendary Status Agnes has. I am on the fence about this one, but will probably cave in.

This Poppy, apart from being an upgrade doll, is the first to be released from this year’s Palm Springs Poppy collection. She has the same screening as the Heads Up yellow haired Poppy from the 2019 convention Style Lab. She is the second Poppy with pink hair, after Ciao! Poppy, but this one has a lighter shade of pink. Many people commented that they did not have pastel coloured hair in the sixties - which is completely wrong! You can check some examples here, here and here - or just google it! She gives me Kim Novak vibes - but in an innocent, fluffy way, in contrast with the dark, ominous style of the famous actress. Even though I am still thinking about getting her or not, I most probably will.

All payments are processed through Integrity Toys’ online shopping cart system. They accept Credit Cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover). They also accept PayPal.

The number of W Club exclusive doll(s) produced is based on the number of pre-orders paid. If you do not pre-order the W Club exclusive doll(s) by the designated cut-off date (there is usually about a week-long ordering window), you forfeit your right to purchase that Club doll through the W Club. Also, Club doll(s) from previous years are NOT available to 2021 members- Club dolls are only available during that specific membership year.

Anyone not re-registering will be removed from the forum immediately following the 2021 registration deadline.

It is possible that if the club system does not recognize your email, user name, etc., you may be accidentally deleted during their forum cleanup. If this is the case, just email the liaisons and they will get you reinstated ASAP.

The 5th and final W Club doll is unveiled - A Fashionable Legacy Violaine Perrin!

It was only a matter of days before we got the chance to see the 5th and final W Club doll, and here she is. Integrity Toys and designer Jessy Ayala give us Violaine Perrin in a tribute to A Fashionable Life Vanessa Perrin giftset. The doll and her outfits have elements of that mythical release, without being a direct copy or revision. The set is not as rich as would be expected in that price range, even with the matching mini-carry case packaging that is similar to Sister Moguls gift set from 2016 and will have similar weight as a normal FR gift set package.

I am always a sucker for pale skin combined with raven hair and this lady is no exception, especially now that she is channeling AFL Vanessa. Remember she is not the first Nu Face to get the AFL acronym and colours- A Fabulous Life Rayna Ahmadi was first! The doll itself is perfection, I would not change a thing, except maybe give her a spit curl like her older sister. The clothes are nice in design but lack in execution - some finishes at the jacket look really bad in the photos (if that’s the look of a “raw hem” better leave altogether) and the painted visible seam effect reminds me of Mattel production practices, not Integrity Toys. For this price, these issues should be non-existent.

A-Fashionable-Legacy-Violaine-Perrin-doll_82128_full4.png
A-Fashionable-Legacy-Violaine-Perrin-doll_82128_accessories.png

The jacket seems to take its initial inspiration from this Maison Margiela Fall 2020 one (designed by John Galliano) and then use the original AFL pinstripe suit combined with the original AFL red skirt with visible stitching detail. The romper underneath could be from anywhere, it just mirrors the jacket’s style. The tulle plus the polka dots are the connection between this babydoll dress with the original AFL’s gown. Neither the shoes, jewellery or luggage are remotely connected. The letter choker is a lift from the Versace Fall 2015 one, and many designers have had similarly styled chockers at one time or another. The monogrammed suitcase is a colour variation of the one Fame And Fortune Vanessa had. I am sure we have seen the orthogonal purse before as well. Would have preferred a wheeled upright cabin suitcase like the one the first Elyse had.

Dolly Days 4 give us Wild Feeling Rayna as a W Club doll!

While previous Dolly Days offerings were met with mixed feelings by W Club members, the 4th day met with almost unanimous applause. And that was because it was a beautiful version of Rayna Ahmadi ooered to collectors as the 3rd W Club Doll of 2020. Rayna has not appeared since 2018 so she was highly anticipated, as she was absent from the convention offerings last month. they call this a mini giftset, to justify the price, while the only extra things are a mini skirt and an extra pair of shoes. Micro giftset would be more close to it. She’s probably going to be a very popular club doll.

What a beautiful doll! I love Rayna in most of her incarnations and this one is lovely. Her face in this skin tone and overall colours looks amazing, despite the strong lip liner, which is not to my taste. the darker skin helps to soften that a lot though. The outfit has the vinyl skinny pants shown in Saint Laurent and Balmain for Fall/Winter 2020, with the overall silhouette being closet to the Saint Laurent offerings. She’d look much better in their fur coat though. The bag is the popular Bottega Veneta Shoulder Pouch, one of the It bags lately. Unfortunately it looks like the $175 price is going to be a mainstay. Sigh.
