Integrity Toys Mini Capsule Collections 2020 reveal pt..1: The Monarchs - Atmoshpere

This weekend we got the reveal of four mini capsule collections by Integrity Toys. Carol explained that with the pandemic affecting production, and despite the 25th IT anniversary occasion, they would not be able to release full blown collections for the lines. We saw two dolls unveiled for each of the lines that were featured into the livestreamed presentation (through Youtube - will that be how the convention goes?). The Monarchs line was first, with Vaughn showing us the dolls on video too, which is always nice. Participants could comment in real time, which was nice. Alain, who was managing the whole affair backstage (poor guy - sending hugs) was flashing some of the comments on screen as well.

Technically we got one Monarch, and an older sculpt repurposed at that. Callum now is reincarnated as Indian twins, Tajinder and Dalpinder. If I’m not mistaken it is the first time we get Indian male dolls through IT - this s great and about time! I would be getting Taj but budget constraints meant no. I still laugh seeing the “figures” instead of dolls description. It is dolls dear Integrity, no matter what. Stop doing this.

That’s a gorgeous doll! I love how the Callum sculpt translates into Tajinder. it was about time we got some Indian Bolywood guys to co-star with Isha in her blockbusters. Although the storyline does hint that the twins might be after a guy in the film and not necessarily a lady! We will see… Everything looks great about Tajinder - both doll and outfit. I must say I’m a bit disappointed that we did not see one of the old guys. like Pierre and Francisco, return. I bet they would sell out instantly. As always, the accessories are gorgeous. BUT we don’t get a bag while the price is still the (way too high) same. How come?

I like tis one less - both doll and fashion as not as gorgeous as the other twin. The safari jacket should have been longer and with a belt. His drawstring hemmed pants do not look good at the ankles. His gladiator sandals are gorgeous though. Again no bag for the US$175.00 price.. The hat: is thankfully made of.felt, which is expected with this price point.

Integrity Toys 2018 reveal pt.1: THE INDUSTRY™ - The Lovesick Collection

Almost a month ago, W Club members had finally received information about the eagerly anticipated webinar presentation of Integrity Toys dolls. Four line were to be presented in the event, which was held on August 25th, with Carol Roth presiding and all designers present so that they could talk about their respective lines and also answer questions in the Q&A session at the end of the event. I am doing a separate post for each line and one for the event doll. I will give you all available information on the dolls plus my opinion on them, and welcome yours in the comments. Let’s kick off the posts then with the first line presented, THE INDUSTRY™: The Lovesick Collection, designed by David Buttry! The line also sets the overall tone for the Style Lab coming up in the convention. All these dolls are available to preorder through Integrity Toys dealers, which you can find here.

IMG_6393.JPG

My first overall impression: more daring and improved from the previous, debut collection. I’m taking a wild guess here, that the line debut did not go quite as expected and, along with the complaints about the demise of Dynamite Girls, it led to a mix of the two, hence the refreshment of the line up with familiar old sculpts, both DG and legacy ones like Janay. It also helps with the economic aspect. Price is up, all across the lines, which is an issue with many collectors. That, combined with the fact that the dolls will arrive shortly and the convention looming, surely affects spending this year. Oh, did I mention Tulabelle is getting a new sculpt? It will be unveiled at the convention. Weird to change a sculpt only a year after it premiered, I mean there was not a backlash against it like, say, Vanessa 2.0.

f Rufus’ return at the 2018 convention this Fall!

Janay is the doll that started Integrity Toys, hence she has a special place in its history. I am happy that they found a place for her into regular collections and hope to see more of her in future releases. I love this one and preordered her. Both as an ensemble and separately the clothes and accessories (that pearl chocker!) have lots of potential and the doll is gorgeous. David said during the presentation that the top bun can come down and brushed back so I’ll probably do that at some point (says the guy who still has Style Renaissance Adéle untouched). Oh and Lovesick is the name of the new single that she releases with her new group. Janay 3.0 sculpt was used in JEM and ITBE releases, so it’s a bit weird that this is the 2.5 version. Or it’s probably a typo in the release email and the version is 3.5 just like the following doll, meaning the same face as 3.0 but a smaller head.

Alysa is another legacy sculpt from the early Integrity Toys lines. She is now a part f The Industry line like Janay and looks beautiful here. The whole collection is inspired by the work of Alessandro Michele at Gucci, with this outfit being the most emphatic example. 3.5 for the sculpt means she is the same as her previous appearance in ITBE 2015, but with a smaller head.

Jade is another legacy sculpt of Integrity Toys, the third in this lineup. All these old faces have been redone to make the heads smaller, in order to match the rest of the heads in The Industry. Jade used to be the Asian sculpt but she looks more Latino here. The outfit looks very Gucci again, with the tee logo and the head band the most obvious references.

At the beginning of the presentation, David and Carol mentioned that one of the DG sculpts coming over to The Industry is Rufus Blue, which is a collector’s favourite. Imagine the surprise when the doll that opened the show was a new male doll, Bellamy Blue, who is Rufus’ brother. Everyone drooled over this gorgeous doll (referred to in the stats as Fashion figure), and with good reason. He is handsome, gorgeously dressed (amazing parka, fantastically embroidered shirt, printed t-shirt) and has great accessories (the bag, the glasses, the frat ring, the boots). What’s not to like? With the new Hommes collection just around the corner, it’s good to see that more great male dolls are part of the other collections as well. I preordered him and will be happy to add him to my collection. The Gucci bag is the icing of this very tasty cake.

So what do you think of the new Industry dolls? Are you getting any and if yes, which ones?
