The morning of the second (and final) convention day was reserved for Poppy Parker - the Style Lab collection centred on her was unveiled, as well as the Poppy Parker Event dolls (these two are on the next post). David Buttry single-handedly reversed the negative feelings from the previous evening and delivered a highly praised collection, both for dolls and outfits presented. Each doll, each outfit, and each accessory pack in the Style lab collection was sold separately. The theme for this collection was an obsession with Parisian fashion, while David placed the time period for it in the early 70s, which was also reflected in the packaging, reminiscent of 70s YSL make up and perfume boxes. Apart from Poppy, Ginger was the only other character that made an appearance. Main convention package holders are able to pick from an assortment of five totally glam dolls, five fabulously curated looks, and two accessory packs. While the dolls pictured are dressed, Style Lab dolls and outfits were sold separately. I will be presenting each doll along with the corresponding outfit to avoid photo repeats.

Ginger is always a welcome surprise and this one is no exception. She is a redhead again (third time in a row and, while in varying shades, the only hair colour she has had so far) and has a lip colour that fits only the outfit she’s shown wearing but not her hair colour or eye palette.

Special Convention Price: $80.00
*Only for Main Convention Package Holders*
Body Type: Fits Poppy Parker
Shoes designed to fit Poppy High-heeled feet.
**OUTFIT ONLY, NUDE DOLL SOLD SEPARATELY**
The fashion is very 70s and very Yves Saint-Laurent too. The inspiration might have been from the infamous Spring/Summer 1971 Haute Couture collection by the late designer, particularly this dress echoing a 40s silhouette, but with the flounced hemm placed under the knee. Midi lengths and knee-high boots are vey typical of the 70s. The print of the dress, while not similar, echoes the prints of that collection too. Fabulous.

Glamorous is a beautiful Poppy Parker doll but looks like so many previously released ones that she’s not standing out that much - at least not as her moniker suggests.
Item # 77221

Special Convention Price: $80.00
*Only for Main Convention Package Holders*
Body Type: Fits Poppy Parker
Shoes designed to fit Poppy High-heeled feet.
**OUTFIT ONLY, NUDE DOLL SOLD SEPARATELY**
The outfit is straddling the line between late sixties and early 70s - the length and print is from the earlier decade, while the overall styling and the jacket is more from the latter.
Item # 77217

Skin Tone: Dark A-Tone
Hair Color: Golden Brown/Dark Brown Two-Tone Hair
Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

Gorgeous indeed - here we have a dark skin Poppy and these are always popular - but always remind me that we do not have a proper Darla doll in ages and how Darla has always been unpopular compared to the dark skinned Poppy dolls. The lipstick also looks weird for me.

Special Convention Price: $80.00
*Only for Main Convention Package Holders*
Body Type: Fits Poppy Parker
Shoes designed to fit Poppy High-heeled feet.

This one is again lifted from the 1971 Spring/Summer Yves Saint-Laurent Haute Couture collection - it is its most enduring silhouette:: the chubby short brightly coloured fur over a short dress.
Item # 77219
Darling
Poppy Parker® Nude Doll
The 2021 Integrity Toys Convention: Obsession
Poppy Parker® Collection Style Lab
Edition Size: 1300

Skin Tone: Japan
Hair Color: Purple
Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied
Quickswitch: No
Purple hair for this one, not the first Poppy with them but the first with this shade, very close to the colour of the year for 2022. They are definitely nylon fibers, as the lack of variety on the saran colour chart has led Integrity Toys to use nylon for many of their dolls now. She’s beautiful.
Item # 77223
Gothique Fashion

Poppy Parker Collection Style Lab
Edition Size: 1300
Special Convention Price: $80.00
*Only for Main Convention Package Holders*
Body Type: Fits Poppy Parker
Shoes designed to fit Poppy High-heeled feet.
**OUTFIT ONLY, NUDE DOLL SOLD SEPARATELY**
The dress is probably the best of this collection. The style is again Yves Saint-Laurent, first seen on a dress he designed, among others, for Catherine Deneuve in Luis Buñuel’s Belle de Jour film . YSL later incorporated the style in his Rive Gauche line. Someone in the W CLub forum found a photo of an outfit exactly like the doll's (with the sequins, which were not part of the original design), but I have not been able to establish a provenance or a connection to the designer.

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled and Articulated Ankle
Skin Tone: Hungarian
Hair Color: Light Auburn Red
Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied
Quickswitch: No
This is again a lovely Poppy, but the almost identical hairstyles are a bit boring - especially considering the variety of them used in the previous PP Style Lab in 2019. I know that long straight hair were the rage in the early 70s but it was definitely not the only style that was popular, especially in fashion. But I guess there’s always the cost factor. From the real life photos of this doll I have seen, the skintone looks quite a bit lighter in them than what we see in the promos.
Item # 77220
American in Paris Fashion
The 2021 Integrity Toys Convention: Obsession
Poppy Parker Collection Style Lab
Edition Size: 1300
Special Convention Price: $80.00
*Only for Main Convention Package Holders*
Body Type: Fits Poppy Parker
Shoes designed to fit Poppy High-heeled feet.
**OUTFIT ONLY, NUDE DOLL SOLD SEPARATELY**
I love this look, with the leopard cape (that reminds me the Poppy in Milan one) over the turtleneck, jeans and boots plus the cap - so very seventies! I could not find the exact same outfit but there were many variations of this one during that era. YSL definitely used the print and fur a lot ( he did a trench-coat in 1969) and his muse and friend Mme Deneuve favoured it a lot.
Item # 77225

Item # 77226
Accessory Pack B
The 2021 Integrity Toys Convention: Obsession
Poppy Parker Collection Style Lab
Edition Size: 1300
Special Convention Price: $75.00
*Only for Main Convention Package Holders*
Body Type: Fits Poppy Parker
Shoes designed to fit Poppy Parker dolls with articulated ankles only.
ACCESSORY SETS ONLY, NUDE DOLL AND OTHER FASHION SOLD SEPARATELY**
It’s great to have separate sets for high heeled and articulated feet for Poppy, but I must say I like the B set a bit better (see what I did there?) because of the colour and pattern combinations. Reminds me of Gucci classic pieces.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Prototypes shown, final production may vary. Acrylic blocks in the accessory pictures are display props only and are not included with the doll. For adult collectors ages 15 and up only.
