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?

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.

Item # 46006

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.

Integrity Toys Mini Capsule Collections 2020 reveal pt..2: Nu Face Essentials Wave 2

The second collection that was revealed in the Integrity Toys online event on Saturday was the Nu Face Essentials Wave2. That basically meant two NU. Face IT Direct dolls, which are exclusively offered right away via IT Direct Right-to-buy lotteries for the W Club members - I sincerely doubt that there will be any left for the general public. The deadline for the lottery is the 5th of October 2020, noon ET. Two dolls were added to the essential line up, with Jessy Ayala picking from the not-that-popular drawer. This time it is Karolin and Colette that shine in the spotlight. The price is hiked - from US$99 last time to US$115.00 now, without anything added to the mix. When your basic edition dolls (because, even though Carol Roth dismissed the term basic for this type of dolls, it is exactly that, even when you name them close up), surpass the US$ 100.00 mark, you are doing something wrong. Colette has a slightly larger edition size, will she be more popular?

Item # 82118

My Allure

Karolin Stone™ Close-up Doll

The NU. Face™ Essentials Collection: Wave 2

Limited Edition: 900 Dolls

Expected Ship Date: Early October, Once Lottery Winners Have Paid

Suggested Retail Pricing: $115.00

IT DIRECT RIGHT-TO-BUY LOTTERY

Head Sculpt: Karolin Stone

Body Type: NF 3.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: FR White

Hair Color: Strawberry Blonde

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

Quickswitch: No

Included:

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

• Two-piece fitted NF branded underwear set;

• Black strappy heels;

• "Gold" earrings;

• "Gold" watch;

• Pair of hands with long manicured nails;

• Alternate pair of hands;

• Doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

This is easily the best looking Karolin Stone version released so far.. I still think the sculpt would have lent itself better to a black character but they keep releasing her as a blonde every single time. She does channel Daphne Groeneveld, one of Jessy’s favourite models. Even I liked this version of Karolin. Not enough to want one though.

Item # 82145

In My Skin

Colette Duranger™ Close-up Doll

• Pair of hands with long manicured nails;

• Certificate of authenticity.

What a gorgeous Colette. Just like Karoline, this is the best version of the new Colette sculpt released so far. I like her so much that I’m entering the lottery for her! I never got one of the Colette 1.0 dolls as, contrary to Nadja 1.0 which was the same sculpt, they looked too cartoony to me. This one is stunning. People compared her to one of the Kard*s*ian sisters (Kourtney) but to me she looks nothing like any of them. It’s probably the nude toned underwear and colouring, plus the shoe style, favoured by them.

Let’s recap the lottery data:

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.

Item # 21009

Desert Winds

Tajinder Chowdhury™ Fashion Figure

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.

Shipping Early October:
