Two new Close Up Fashion Royalty dolls are unveiled!

The last Fashion Royalty dolls we had seen apart from convention, was Elyse back in January. There was an online presentation of two close-up dolls from the Fashion Royalty collection, designed by IT designer Jessy Ayala. Technically these two belong to the FR Maison collection (as per their story descriptions that say they model lingerie from that line), but it is not mentioned in their characteristics at all. I used to think that Close Up was a term used by Integrity Toys for the dolls that are neither basic nor fully dressed and accessorised. - as they are usually wearing robes over lingerie or swimwear and have been a staple of the company since the early Fashion Royalty days. But Alain explained that the term is inspired by the close up shots of models for cosmetics brands - and then I checked previous releases and saw that there were basic dolls released with robes as well. These two ladies were based on those early Veronique and Adele dolls - but the choice of characters was a bit surprising, and frankly, quite welcome. The dolls will be mainly given to the W Club through a lottery, while a small portion will be allocated to the general public next year, when the dolls have been shipped to the USA.

So nice to see Isabella making her second ever appearance, and outside a convention too! She looks gorgeous here, much better than her first version. For me, this is like the type version of the sculpt, how I would have imagined Isabella to be. And this is the reason I entered the lottery for her. I do not have this sculpt yet in my collection, so it would be perfect if she could be part of it. I like the outfit too, mainly the “robe” she is wearing, with the over the top puffed sleeves and the corset detail at the waist. She’s definitely channelling those early Close Up FR ladies!

I was never fond of Luchia’s second sculpt, neither liked her using Isha’s face at the beginning. I have only one from that period (the Madonna inspired Bewitching Hour) and was never tempted to get another. But this time, I want her. I really do. She’s being done justice at last. Channelling Cindy Crawford (or Zana Zhadrick, take your pick), she is breathtakingly beautiful and the dark version of the outfit we saw on Isabella only serves to enhance her beauty. I do not mind they are wearing a colour variation of the same outfit, I still want them both. I only wish they had a lower price to begin with. And no, the clothes hangers and the W necklaces do not begin to justify it.

Integrity Toys collaborates with Magia 2000 for their next capsule collection!

As I mentioned in my previous post, the W Club event presentation was double barrelled: after we saw the last doll of the Coven Couture collection, we were presented with the first one from the new collection of dolls - this one being the first of four dolls in the Integrity Toys X Magia 2000 Collaboration, designed by the talented duo behind Magia 2000, Mario Paglino and Gianni Grossi! I was lucky enough to meet the incredibly talented duo of Magia 2000 back in 2018, at the Italian Fashion Doll Convention, which they organise in Milan. They are amazing creators and awesome human beings and I am so happy that Integrity Toys is collaborating with them for an entire collection!

---

Celebrating 23 years in the doll world, Magia 2000, the artistic duo formed by fashion designer, Mario Paglino and graphic art director, Gianni Grossi, playfully began in 1999. After a few months, playing became collecting, which was soon followed by artistic passion. Their elegant, rich, fully detailed style, which takes a lot of inspiration from Italian couture, has been their distinguishing mark from the start.

Through the years, they attended almost 100 doll conventions around the world, traveling everywhere from Japan, the US, and all over Europe, promoting their brand and passion for doll customization, while generously donating several of their unique creations, which helped raise over $200,000.00 for various charities!

Magia 2000 was the first international design team to attend an Integrity Toys convention back in 2004 and won Judge’s and People’s choice awards at several design competitions afterward. In 2018, they were the first and only to host a Poppy Parker event outside of the US, welcoming designer David Buttry for the unveiling of the “Ciao!” Poppy Parker convention exclusive doll. Today, Mario and Gianni collaborate with various celebrities and brands and have been featured in multiple media outlets.

PUBLIC PURCHASING

More information on public purchasing will be sent closer to the figures' arrival, approximately later in Spring 2023.

The Story:

First in a series of dolls created especially for Integrity Toys, each figure and doll in this series will take fans on an ultra-creative tour of some of Italy's most iconic venues and festivals, as seen through the eyes of fabulous design duo Magia 2000!

This fantastic journey starts in the most unique place in the world: Venice! Entirely built over water, Venice becomes a symbol of eccentricity and glamour during its world-famous annual Carnival!

Lukas Maverick is putting his own modern, gender-fluid twist on carnival by wearing a flamboyant, elaborate costume inspired by the rare imported velvets and other exotic fabrics used over the centuries by Venetian costume designers to create the extravagant, lavish costumes worn by members of the Italian high society and aristocracy when attending the Carnival!

Mysterious and charming, foggy and sunny, the pure essence of Carnival and abundance. Lukas navigates the canals with his black mask on and only reveals himself in the middle of the party, flirting and seducing women and men alike with his fluid beauty and his charming dress, paying tribute to many iconic Italian fashion brands!

Included:

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

Floor-length green velvet hooded cape with lavish, contrasting custom-designed embroidery, designed to be reminiscent of the tint of the Venetian laguna colors;

Matching high-waist velvet pants;

Pink chiffon shirt with bouffant sleeves gathered at the wrist, built-in jabot and delicate black lace detail trim;

Sheer, black-ribbon neck tie;

Lion ring, paying tribute to the Flying Lion (the symbol of the city), which dominates the San Marco Square;

Pair of faux-diamond stud earrings;

Faux-pearl and faux-diamond brooch, a nod to the rich Venetian architecture and churches;

Italian designer-inspired logo clutch;

Pair of black velvet slipper loafers with intricate golden filigree design and "stone" accent;

Pink socks;

Venetian masquerade mask with black ribbon ties;

Pair of hands featuring black nail polish;

Figure stand;

Certificate of authenticity.

Such an incredible collaboration can only produce incredible dolls and Lukas does not disappoint! I love what Gianni and Mario have done with him, dressing him up in all that finery inspired by the venerable Venice Carnival! It also draws on current fashion trends - from Gucci to Arturo Obegero and others, channelling Harry Styles and Jared Leto but also all dandies who rocked similar looks in the past. Love the mask too and that it fastens on the doll, instead of being held with a handle in front of the face (it would never work on a doll). The second red headed Lukas (first one was Beauty, which has a similar vibe, albeit in a minimal, northern European style), he has a smouldering look with that eyeliner. Some club members said he reminded them of Red Johnny Mac from Jem.

Two complaints about the cape: 1. The fabric is like a terry cloth and ruins the luxury feel. Why not velvet There are thin velvets that can work in doll scale, we have seen them used by Integrity before. 2. The embroidery (inspired by the ceiling fresco decorations in the city’s mansions) should have continued along the bottom back of it. I know it was done for cost reasons but still. Love the black nails and also the awesome embroidered shoes. The details are so well taken care of - the ring is a lion because it is the symbol of Venice!

IMPORTANT NOTE: Prototypes shown, final product may vary. Acrylic blocks in the accessory pictures are display props only and are not included with the figure. This collectible is meant for adult collectors ages 15 and up only.

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.

Integrity Toys Mini Capsule Collections 2020 reveal pt..4: Fashion Royalty - Maison FR Paris

The fourth and final reveal was the Fashion Royalty dolls. Jessy Ayala designed two ladies for the Maison FR Paris collection, which, as he mentioned during the presentation, includes the upgrade Eugenia doll and will include one more - probably one of the remaining W Club exclusive dolls. Both dolls were surprises: Korinne made her long awaited comeback and Veronique sports her 1.0 sculpt for this round. Both are available from retailers and from what I am hearing, Vero is selling out fast despite the large edition. She is fifteen dollars cheaper than Korinne.So if we get a bag at US$160.00, we could have gotten one with the Monarch guys, no?

Item # 91475

Korinne is finally back! I always regretted not getting her first edition, but I had a budget to adhere to - don’t we all? Then she kind of disappeared from the face of the earth, until now! And what a comeback! She is dazzling! A beautiful gown (even though I’m weary of mermaid gowns, this one looks nice) in a gorgeous colour that compliments her Hungarian skin tone well. The accessories are TDF - mimicking the Secret Garden Eugenia ones! And that face and screening! I’m so happy I was confirmed for her!

Veronique, in her 1.0 sculpt, looks a lot like the most famous Greek daytime television show host, Eleni Menegaki, in her L’Oreal campaign style - google her and see if you agree. And that sums it up for me. Plus, whoever is writing the storylines (Alain, is that you?): you DO NOT go to a front row fashion show seat dressed in a Chanel suit. Not even at a Chanel show. That’s 2nd row dressing at best - third row more like it. For me the best 1.0 sculpt appearance is still, and will always be, Lights, Camera, Royal Vero.

Integrity Toys Mini Capsule Collections 2020 reveal pt..3: Meteor - Le Chic

The third mini capsule collection revealed in Saturday’s Integrity Toys event was Meteor. Vaughn presented two gorgeous dolls - one is a new character and one was Zuri in a smashing new look. Both are available for dealers, but with the limited editions, they might sell out quickly. I’m betting this would have given us even more gorgeous dolls had Vaughn been able to make a full collection with all the line’s characters. The 70s inspiration is a great fit both to the designer’s talent and the line and it shows.

Item # 46005

Coming Out

Navia Phan™ Dressed Doll

Meteor™: Le Chic Collection

Limited Edition: 575 Dolls

Expected Ship Date: Early Winter

Suggested Retail Pricing: $150.00

AVAILABLE ONLY FROM IT DEALERS

Head Sculpt: Navia 1.0 (New Character Sculpt!)

Body Type: FR 6.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: Japan

Hair Color: Light Brown

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

Quickswitch: No

Included:

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

• Long, glamorous printed gown;

• Matching printed thigh-high boots;

• Matching printed panties;

• Faux-leather corset belt;

• Black netting head scarf;

• Lightly tinted sunglasses;

• Hoop earrings;

• 3 rings and dramatic, oversized cloisonné necklace;

• Alternate pair of long manicured hands;

• Doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

I am willing to bet that Navia’s sculpt is a failed Colette 2.0 attempt used as a new character - they are practically twins. Not loving the head shape or the print. The glasses are cute but she is missing a bag. I’m puzzled by the use of FR body instead of Nu Face, which would fit the character much better IMHO. She might be coming out but she’s definitely not coming home. The dress is almost an exact copy (boots and all) of the opening number from Fausto Puglisi’s Fall 2019 RTW collection - the print was inspired by an Ottoman carpet he picked up at Istanbul’s Grand Bazaar, as Puglisi said back then.

This is Donna Summer in doll form! When asked, Vaughn said he got inspiration for other 70s singers too (the Every Woman title surely refers to the Chaka Khan song I’m Every Woman) but she looks so much like Donna with that make up and hairstyle and the open mouth, it’s uncanny. I’m happy I got confirmed for her, she’s Hot Stuff! There is a confusion about her outfit: during the presentation, Vaugh said it is one piece, but the description from IT says blouse and palazzo pants. Will update with more info when available.
