First dolls of the new W Club year are here: Part II - A Mademoiselle and a Monsieur for NU Face

The first presentation was not just about the new Coven Couture doll. As mentioned in my previous post, Jessy Ayala was there to unveil his two new additions to the Mademoiselle line from 2019/20. That included the returned of another long lost sculpt and a new character (and sculpt) These are both going to be lottery, but a portion of the 2000 edition that each doll gets, will be allocated to the public, in a manner not yet disclosed.

Annik is back - she’s one of the rarest sculpts appearing in collections and, while not one of the most popular, she sure has a steady group of fans out there. It is also the first time she appears in a lighter skin tone - she’s usually Nubian or Dark-A tone. It suits her fine. Her hairstyle could have been a bit more distinct than that of the convention Rayna, but then again not everyone could get that one. Another thing she is sharing with that doll, is that over-size trend - her jacket is following the (now waning) trend, while the pants compliment it with pleats and a gathering on each leg with a removable belt. Her corset is a fake one, just mimicking the shape of a stomacher with ribbons stitched on it to mimic boning. Nice idea, not crazy about the execution. From the accessories, the bag stands out with its sculpted handle. The flower choker is a nice touch too. She’s at $160.00 for club members but, for that price, she does not have that extra something for me. Plus she has the same hairline as Fit To Print Nadja and that can only mean disaster.

Isn’t he gorgeous? Hello Thiago! Look at that face, those lips! He has a gorgeous sculpt, one of the best seen on the guys lately. They finally got the open mouth on a man right, after the disaster that was Dracula/Perry Marino. He looks like a cross between Jessy himself and Balmain designer Olivier Rousteing, which is great. His clothes are beautiful and would complement (and mix and match) with Weekender Lucas’ outfit. I particularly adore the coat, which is straight out of a sci-fi film. I love the feminine touches like the pearl necklace, the corset and the drop earring. The felted gloves are an interesting touch, wondering how long they will last. He’s the only one ready for shipping, right after the lottery ends, which is too close to other doll commitments - but I really like him. Should I?

First dolls of the new W Club year are here, Part I: NU Fantasy Coven Couture Scarlett Hex Anja Christensen

It did not take that long after the end of the registration period for new dolls to be unveiled from Integrity Toys. Carol and Alain had mentioned in the Club webinar that we would see new stuff soon and here they are. Plus a new Misaki is about to be available for pre-order in a matter of hours. Busy time! Carol presented the new dolls through live streaming, with the two designers, Mark Tinkey and Jessy Ayala as guests. Mark gave us his commentary about the third addition to the Coven Couture Nu Fantasy line and Jessy revealed two NU Face dolls, one of which is a totally new character. Let us check out the new witch first.

Anja, it’s been a while! This sculpt (which is one of the rejected Vero 2.0 faces) has been a while since last seen outside of convention - 2015 as an ITBE lingerie doll (which is one of the two I own, the other being Regal Solstice). She has appeared as a NU Fantasy doll before, back in 2013 IFDC as Glam Vamp, in similar hair and skin colouring. She is a more conventionally dressed lady than the previous two instalments of this collection, but I think she will look nice next to them. A hint of Gothic elements (black hair, light skin, red lips, nails, stones and dress) tries to distract from a very couture gown, with draping, netting and embroidery in full force. The dress is magnificent and Mark should be very proud. I hope the production doll does not deviate from this.

The bag is the now familiar metallic minaudière but encrusted with red stones, to compliment her jewellery. If you take out the thorn decorated bracelets and necklace, you have another version of Flame Rouge Veronique or Sizzling in Paris Poppy. Her make up should have been more blended to be more enticing to me. I would have preferred to see her styled more intensely though, like a glam version of Siouxsie Sioux for example. I would have entered the lottery in a heartbeat. Now, I must abstain, the dolly budget will not allow it. Even though she is a lottery for the club, any remaining dolls will become available to the public after the lottery ends. So if you are not a member and want her, stay alert.
