Integrity Toys Legendary 2020 Convention day 1: The Convention Collection

Lots of things to take in on day one of the Integrity Toys Legendary 25th Anniversary convention, so I’m writing a number of posts to give you all the information about them! There was a separate presentation for the convention collection - which was available to preorder complete for the convention ticket holders - and also the IT Direct Exclusive dolls that will also be available in the convention shop for the main package holders. These presentations have the feel of the webinars that W Club organizes for collection reveals, but, as they are pre-recorded, feel a bit awkward. If they were live, and the people making the presentation were interacting with the attendees, instead of pretending to (yes, it shows), the experience would have been that much better. We are seeing gorgeous clothes though and that is awesome. On with it then.

Dazzling Debut

Poppy Parker™ Dressed Doll

The 2020 Integrity Toys 25th Anniversary Convention: Legendary

Poppy Parker Convention Collection

Limited Edition: 600 Dolls

Expected Ship Date: Late Nov.

Special Convention Price: $145.00

Head Sculpt: Poppy Parker

Body Type: Poppy Parker 1.5

Foot Sculpt: Articulated Ankle

Skin Tone: FR Black

Hair Color: Darkest Brunette

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

Quickswitch: No

Quite a beautiful Poppy, but she does not even come close to the original inspiration, Reluctant Debutante. Alain correctly pointed out that she’s more late sixties while the original was firmly in the very early part of the decade. I love the embroidery of the dress, the design and colouring is superb.. Well done David. The dress is a recreation of the one worn by Mia Farrow in the film A Dandy In Aspic, where she was also wearing this outfit that brings to mind the fur details of Poppy’s coat.

Item # 77190

Black Tie

Head Sculpt: Poppy Parker

Body Type: Poppy Parker 1.5

Skin Tone: FR White

Hair Color: Black

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

Quickswitch: No

I think I like this one much better than her inspiration the Portrait In Black Poppy Parker, from the same debut collection as Reluctant Debutant. And I bet she will be as sought after as her predecessor. Both doll and outfit look gorgeous.

Item # 82129

In Control

Erin Salston™ Dressed Doll

The 2020 Integrity Toys 25th Anniversary Convention: Legendary

NU. Face Convention Collection

Limited Edition: 600 Dolls

Body Type: NF 3.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: Japan

Hair Color: Fiery Auburn

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

Quickswitch: No

That’s a gorgeous Erin. Her face in the photo above reminds me a bit of the actress Ruth Wilson. The doll looks a bit, colour wise like High End Envy Erin, the first one I believe that had this newer sculpt. Jessy said his inspiration was (loosely) Clash Control Erin. She looks much better than the original. I’d definitely get her if I could.

Item # 82130

Not Pretending

Eden Blair™ Dressed Doll

The 2020 Integrity Toys 25th Anniversary Convention: Legendary

NU. Face Convention Collection

Head Sculpt: Eden

Body Type: NF 3.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: Cream

Hair Color: Baby Blonde

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

Quickswitch: No

I’m not a fan of the Great Pretender Lilith, on which the Not Pretending Eden is based on, but I love this one! Gorgeous face and cute Chanel style fashion is a great combination - add the teddy bear backpack and hit the mark! I wish I could get her.

Item # 91480

Style Legacy

Isabella Alves™ Dressed Doll

The 2020 Integrity Toys 25th Anniversary Convention: Legendary

Fashion Royalty® Convention Collection

Limited Edition: 600 Dolls

Expected Ship Date: Late Nov.

Special Convention Price: $160.00

Head Sculpt: Isabella (New Character!)

Body Type: FR 6.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: Light Honey

Hair Color: Mahogany

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

Quickswitch: No

It’s been a while since we had a new character added to the Fashion Royalty line up - and it is nice doing it in a convention so that she gets lots of attention. The appearance of a new Latina character was teased one year ago at the Baltimore convention and we’re seeing her now. She does not have a story announced yet. Jessy said they’re keeping it a mystery for now. The inspiration for her outfit and styling is Style Renaissance Adele Makeda, from the 2006 Pompadour collection. That was the year I started collecting Fashion Royalty and for me it has two of the best collections for FR: Pompadour and Miami. I am glad that year is getting referenced in this year’s anniversary looks.

Item # 91479

Intimate Soirée

Agnes Von Weiss® Dressed Doll

The 2020 Integrity Toys 25th Anniversary Convention: Legendary

Fashion Royalty® Convention Collection

Limited Edition: 600 Dolls

Expected Ship Date: Late Nov.

Special Convention Price: $160.00

Head Sculpt: Agnes

Body Type: FR 6.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: Japan

Hair Color: Raven

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

Quickswitch: No

Another grail in the making! Look at that face! That attitude! That style! An amazing Agnes, courtesy of Jessy, who was inspired by Intimately Acquainted Luchia and Soir De Paris fashion set MFD exclusive from 2003. The doll reminds me of Queen of Everything and High Gloss Agnes dolls combined. Love her and am so sorry to not be getting her. During the presentation I heard Alain pronounce her surname as wees instead of the proper vice (after all it’s German for white). Is that a thing now or was it a slip of the tongue?

Gorgeous convention collection - are you getting any of these beauties?

The third Club doll for 2019 has been unveiled by Integrity Toys and... there's two of them!

Integrity Toys unveiled the 3rd club exclusive doll for 2019. It is two doll’s instead of one, but it’s is not a giftset. Rather it is two dolls, sold separately, that count as one for the purpose of the five exclusive club dolls. The two ladies are NuFace models "Your Motivation" Erin Salston™ and "Like No Other" Nadja Rhymes™, designed by IT designer Jessy Ayala. I have no idea why they did not bundle the, together as a giftset to make the price more palatable for members. As it is they’re only $5.0 less than retail price of NuFace dolls. As a giftset they’d probably be $200.00 together, which would be cheaper for members but now it makes more money for Integrity.

Item # 82119A

Erin is my favourite of the two, both as doll and as outfit. She’s in colours I don’t have either in hair or skin, she has beautiful make up and hairstyle. The transparent vinyl trench is simply gorgeous. Her shoes and jewellery are beautiful. I am not crazy about her slip dress, as we just got one with Eugenia, but it’s ok. I’m probably getting her.

Item # 82119B

Nadia is beautiful- she always is. And I already have her with this hairstyle. And the only thing I really would love to have from her outfit are the shorts, So I’m probably not getting her. And here’s the thing: if they were together as a giftset, I would probably get them both.

Designer Jessy Ayala had a picture of the two dolls wearing each other's clothes to give you an idea of what they would look like if you got both, said Integrity. And I say, you guys should have made them a giftset to make them easier to sell together and not resort to gimmicks like this.

Fashion Fairytale: Integrity Toys Convention 2017 part 1 - The Convention Collection

October is the month of the 2017 Integrity Toys convention and of course I will be posting all dolls and information as they become available. First up is the official convention collection, which attendees could either preorder sight unseen with their registration or buy at the convention in the souvenir shop set up within the hotel where the event is taking place. This post presents the convention collection Fashion Royalty and Nu Face dolls, while the Poppies and co. will be featured in the next one. 

The convention registration started yesterday for those arriving early and everyone received a mysterious bag containing an empty box that will be the basis of the usual gift set completed day by day throughout the event. No idea yet who the doll will be or what it comes with yet, but people from the convention report that the # number marks her as Nu Face. My general opinion for this collection is that I’m not overwhelmed but am glad to see that the upgrade Doll which was available even to non-attending W Club members is the best of the bunch by far. Let’s try to guess which fairytale inspired each doll.

Item # 91424

Wicked Behavior

Natalia Fatalé™ Dressed Doll

The Fashion Royalty® Collection

The 2017 Integrity Toys Convention: Fashion Fairytale

Convention Collection

Edition Size: 600 Dolls

Natalia looks gorgeous here, even though her dress is a bit boring. She must be inspired by the Wicked Witch from the Wizard of Oz. The face screening is a dead ringer for Hot Property Natalia.

Item # 91425

Spell of Kindness

Vanessa Perrin™ Dressed Doll

The Fashion Royalty® Collection

The 2017 Integrity Toys Convention: Fashion Fairytale

Convention Collection

Edition Size: 600 Dolls

If Natalia is the Wicked Witch, Vanessa is Glinda. The dress looks like a rehash of the Miss Amour Poppy Parker Dior inspired one. Washed Out is the nickname I would give. Looks like she is the Vanessa 1.0 sculpt. If they were going for a Metal Maven feel, it came out more In Bloom. The dress is a Carolina Herrera Resort 2017 gown. Remember they did Oz dolls for IFDC In 2011, with much better results.(Go North Isha / Luchia below):

Kiernan Shipka by Kristian Schuller for Carolina Herrera Resort 2017

Item # 91426

Sea-Devil

Véronique Perrin™ Dressed Doll

The Fashion Royalty® Collection

The 2017 Integrity Toys Convention: Fashion Fairytale

Convention Collection

Edition Size: 600 Dolls

Beautiful Veronique in her green dress and cape. The leather corset and jewelry make the doll much more interesting. Details that could have helped Vanessa pop up a bit. She does remind me a bit of her Cinematic Convention incarnation.  She must be inspired by the Little Mermaid’s Sea Witch.

Item # 91431

Fashionably Ruthless

Tatyana Alexandrova™  Dressed Doll Gift Set

The Fashion Royalty Collection

2017 Fashion Fairytale Upgrade

Final Edition Size: TBA

This the upgrade convention doll that was offered to non attending W Club member as well as convention goers to preorder, based on sketches. I’m happy to say this is the best doll by far. Both her outfits look great, she is a gorgeous doll and the Cruella De Vill inspiration is spot on. She will be shipping to non attendees by the end of the month.

Item # 82091

Rarest of All

Ayumi Nakamura™ Dressed Doll

The NU. FACE Collection

The 2017 Integrity Toys Convention: Fashion Fairytale

Convention Collection

Edition Size: 600 Dolls

This one must be Mulan inspired. I like the hair ornaments but that’s all. Great face but nothing to write home about. When you take away the ornaments (photo above), she looks really plain.  The colouring of both face and clothes channel the Royal Life convention Criminally Chic Kyori: 

Item # 82092

Changing Winds

Eden Blair™ Dressed Doll

The NU. FACE Collection

The 2017 Integrity Toys Convention: Fashion Fairytale

Convention Collection

Edition Size: 600 Dolls

Eden is undoubtedly Pocahontas. And her first time in a darker skintone, if I’m not mistaken. She looks like she came out of a Ralph Lauren ad. Great boho styling.  

Item # 82095

24K

Erin Salston™ Dressed Doll

The NU. FACE Collection

The 2017 Integrity Toys Convention: Fashion Fairytale

IT DIRECT SALESROOM EXCLUSIVE

Edition Size: 600 Dolls

The Souvenir shop exclusive is another Erin ( did they overproduce the sculpt by mistake and now they flood the market with her?). This one is inspired by Rumpelstiltskin but she’s not winning any gold medals from me. Platinum hair for a doll personifying a fairytale character that spuns gold out of straw? Come on! The leather coat should have had a dark gold shade as well instead of this basic brown. I like the silhouette though.

So what do you think of the convention collection? Which one is your favourite?

Metamorphosis - the second W Club doll from Integrity Toys

Yesterday the W Club members received news of the second (of five) Club doll of the year. Everyone was happy to discover that it was another addition to the extremely popular Heirloom Nu Face collection, designed by the talented Jesse Ayala. Metamorphosis Erin Salston is a gorgeous doll with two outfits. The first, a flowery print flowing gown, reminds me a lot of Giambattista Valli's couture dresses, with the asymmetrical skirt, the butterfly crown (that's the heirloom) and the flower print. The second one is a more minimal and streamlined look by Alexander Vauthier's Spring/Summer 2017 collection that juxtaposes casual (jean shorts) with glamour (long asymmetrical dress). I think that Jessie combined elements from two Vauthier tops in this one. Photos from possible inspirations accompany the respective outfits. Remember, preorder for W Club members ends on September 8th!

Item # 82088

Metamorphosis

Erin Salston™ Dressed Doll Gift Set

The Heirloom Collection

2017 W Club Exclusive

Edition Size:TBA

Estimated Arrival: Early Spring 2018

Pricing: (Limit of one per W Club membership) $175.00 US +S & H

The gift set is gorgeous. I like Erin's sculpt and I do not yet own a brunette one so she will be the one. The face screening and ski tone match perfectly and the braid is stylish yet versatile. The outfits are both gorgeous and with their original inspirations coming from very favourite designers, which is a plus in my book. The only thing missing is a bag. For this price, it should have been included.

Sinuhe Guzman pointed out to me that the upper part of this Giambattista Valli Autumn/Winter 2016 Prêt-à-Porter dress looks like the one Erin is wearing. 

 UPDATE: Stephanie Daniel-Walker from the W Club found another dress that looks a lot like Erin's: it is a Monique Lhuillier dress from her Resort 2018 collection:

The set also includes a golden butterfly crown, jewelry and two pairs of shoes. For adult collectors ages 15 and up only. This doll cannot stand alone; a doll stand is included.

Integrity Toys Summer 2017 reveal: Nu Face Heirloom collection

The W Club members were eagerly waiting for Saturday the 24th of June for the promised unveil of the two main Integrity Toys collections, Nu Face and Fashion Royalty. After the success of the Reckless collection, the company let the talented Jesse Ayala work his magic again for the new one. And he did not disappoint.
Named "The Heirloom Collection" it is dedicated to all of those little items we own in our personal closets that make our looks so special. Each doll in this series comes with one special item that is true and dear to her. Maybe it's a special pair of earrings, a delicate brush or a fabulous mirror, but it's definitely cherished for generation after generation. Jesse said he was in a romantic mood, with a haunted mansion as his setting, imagining the Nu Face ladies had used it as a set for their fashion shoot. Luckily he did not present a goth rehash but instead his vision is that of a very modern, updated and - dare I say - minimal Victorian aesthetic. It also looks like a successor to Reckless, evolving it forward. The body is Nu Face 3.0 which means no waist articulation and pop out joints.

The dolls are more expensive this year. There was the usual,talk of raised costs in China and paying for quality and fully accessorised dressed dolls. In the case it is backed by a brilliant collection, which will help sales despite the price raise. So run to the authorized dealers as some dolls are already sold out - the W Club members having had 48 hours advance warning. You will find them here: http://www.integritytoys.com/authorized-dealers/

Item # 82084
Charmed Life
Imogen Lennox Dressed Doll
The Heirloom Collection
The 2017 NU. Face™ Collection
Edition Size: 725
Estimated Delivery: Fall/Winter 2017
Retail Price: $140.00 US

Doll Tech Specs:

Head Sculpt: Imogen
Body: NF 3.0
Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: Japan
Hair Color: Ginger
Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied
Quickswitch: No 

Imogen is a fully articulated 12.5 inch fashion doll with fully rooted hair. Her look is composed of a bouffant satin skirt over a 3/4 sleeved brocade bodysuit, which sports an elaborate lacing detail at the back. She completes this look with a metallic-finish purse, short lacy gloves and over-sized chunky boots. Her screening also features soft freckles. For adult collectors ages 15 and up only. This doll cannot stand alone; a doll stand is included.

Gorgeous version of Imogen. With her red hair amd pale skin and freckles she is very different from all her previous incarnations. The outfit looks nice as well, with the contrasting textures and colours. The brooch is her heirloom, used in a variety of ways: as a hair or clothing ornament. I have a very limited budget this year so she was the one to cut from my want list. I hope to get her in the future though. Her screening is based on the Going Public Eugenia one, which is a firm favourite not only of Jesse but of most Integrity Toys collectors. 

Oh, do not let the flat looking boots deceive you. Her feet are the usual high heeled ones.  They are using a design that looks flat but accommodates the high heel.

 Item # 82085

Heiress
Erin Salston Dressed DollThe Heirloom Collection
The 2017 NU. Face™ Collection
Edition Size: 725
Estimated Delivery: Fall/Winter 2017

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: Latino
Hair Color: Amber Brown
Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied
Quickswitch: No

Erin Salston is a 12.5 inch fully articulated fashion doll with rooted hair. Erin is wearing the a designer jacket, matched with a shiny lurex skirt with a black net overlay. Erin completes the look with high-heeled lace-up booties, mesh stockings and her mini-case. For adult collectors ages 15 and up only. This doll cannot stand alone; a doll stand is included.

For me, this is the most uninteresting doll of the collection, and this says a lot. She's very beautiful in the Latino skin tone, with a very detailed outfit and lovely accessories (heirloom mini case anyone? Spider ring!) but she is no match for the rest. I love the bishop sleeves.

Item # 82083

Neo-Romantic
Rayna Ahmadi Dressed Doll
The Heirloom Collection
The 2017 NU. Face™ Collection
Edition Size: 775
Estimated Delivery: Fall/Winter 2017
Retail Price: $140.00 US

Doll Tech Specs:

Head Sculpt: Rayna

Body: NF 3.0
Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: Latino
Hair Color: Dark Espresso
Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied
Quickswitch: No

Rayna is a 12.5 inch articulated doll with fully rooted hair. Rayna wears a fitted knitted turtleneck bodysuit with oversized drop-shoulder sleeves under a pair of daringly low, ultra-fitted motocross pants. For adult collectors ages 15 and up only. This doll cannot stand alone; a doll stand is included.

Rauna is in Latino skin tone here, with dark hair, which brings her origins to the fore. Strangely enough she did not click with me. It could be the pInk lipstick, which, combine with the grey blue pants and tassel earrings give an 80s vibe. Her heirloom, the cuff/ring, is gorgeous, although I would have like it more oriental looking. It is a heirloom after all. Doesn't she remind you of Gigi or Bella Hadid?

 Item # 82086

Vanity & Glamour
Nadja Rhymes Close-Up Doll
The Heirloom Collection
The 2017 NU. Face™ Collection
Edition Size: 725
Estimated Delivery: Fall/Winter 2017
Retail Price: $120.00 US

Doll Tech Specs:

Head Sculpt: Nadja 2.0
Body: NF 3.0
Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: A-Tone
Hair Color: Sterling Silver
Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied
Quickswitch: No

 Nadja Rhymes is a 12.5 articulated doll with fully rooted hair. She wears a lingerie set composed of a delicately constructed black shrug embelished in black petals over her bustier and panties. It also includes shoes, stockings jewelry and her vintage chrome handheld mirror. For adult collectors ages 15 and up only. This doll cannot stand alone; a doll stand is included.

Nadja is the smash hit of the collection - second time in a row. Her silver hair, gorgeous face and sexy outfit combine into perfection. I was lucky to preorder her but the dealers who were accepting preorders are sold out. Maybe you can get her from those opening store today. Good luck!  She is a close up doll, meaning a lingerie basic edition, hence the lower price. She does have a ring and a mirror, which is great. I love the shrug!

Item # 82087

Hauntingly Lovely
Ayumi Nakamura Close-Up Doll

Hair Color: Baby Blond
Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied
Quickswitch: No

Ayumi is a 12.5 inch articulated fashion doll with rooted hair. She comes dressed in a lingerie set, coupled with a knitted cardigan that features petals all over the sleeves. Ayumi comes complete with her mother's cameo ring and heirloom silver plated hand-held brush and leather shoes. For adult collectors ages 15 and up only. This doll cannot stand alone; a doll stand is included.

Lovely version of Ayumi, but not a match to her Reckless one. Again a close up doll, but she has a cameo ring and the brush (heirloom, Jesse said it has real bristles). Her screening was inspired by Ginza Kyori. Her stockings have a fake patterned leather style that looks gorgeous.

Item # 82082

Poetic Beauty

Lilith and Eden Blair Twin-Doll Gift Set
The Heirloom Collection
The 2017 NU. Face™ Collection
Edition Size: 925
Estimated Delivery: September 2017
Retail Price: $199.00 US

*** THIS GIFT SET WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE VIA INTEGRITY TOYS DEALERS!***THIS WILL BE OFFERED VIA A W CLUB EXCLUSIVE RIGHT-TO-BUY LOTTERY FROM IT DIRECT LATER THIS YEAR.

Doll Tech Specs:

Head Sculpt: Lilith and Eden
Body: NF 3.0
Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: Cream
Hair Color: Mahogany (Lilith) and Pale Honey (Eden)
Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied
Quickswitch: No

LIlith and Eden are 12.5 inch articulated dolls with rooted hair. Each doll comes dressed in a look composed of multiple pieces that overlay to create modern urban ensembles. Each doll in the set comes with retro-inspired handbags, lace-up high-heeled boots, and tassel earrings. For adult collectors ages 15 and up only. The dolls cannot stand alone; doll stands included.

Another twin gift set. Is it me or are they becoming too ubiquitous? I love bits and pieces from each ensemble but the accessories not so much. Compared to their Reckless versions, here the sisters are tame and casual. Still gorgeous though. They will be available through a lottery from IT DIRECT later this year.  Jesse said that the zipper on Lilith's top is functional and can go all the way down, making it look like a dress. Note that in the poll that followed the presentation, the twins were overwhelmingly  the most popular, Nadia second with less than half the votes, while Ayumi was the least popular choice. As far as how they pick which dolls will be available through lotteries, like the twins now, they said it is quite often a matter of getting a doll to the public in a lower cost than doing it the usual way - I.e through dealers - would entail.

So what do you think about the Heirloom collection? Love it or not? Better than Reckless? Which dolls are you getting? Let me know in the comments. And you should also read the brilliant review Marcela wrote in Kotori Couture for the line, elaborating on so many issues beyond mere fashion commentary. Oh, and she also gives you all,the inspiration behind each outfit- so much Louis Vuitton!

Prototype doll and fashion shown, final production colors and textures may vary slightly. Note: The dolls pictured in this release are prototypes. Final fabrics, colors and textures may vary slightly. Background props are not included.
