Love is Love! The first gay male fashion doll wedding gift set, from Integrity Toys!

A few days ago, Integrity Toys posted on their social media a hint about a very special debut that was going to take place on the 15th of May. People started talking about it on groups and forums because it is a bit rate to unveil something in public without first revealing it in the W Club, whose members have the privilege of getting such information first. Then those posts disappeared, but soon afterwards an email arrived with the details of this special debut. Integrity Toys is releasing a two-doll gift set that has been near and dear to the hearts of everyone on the Integrity Toys team: the Love is Love Cabot Clark and Milo Montez Wedding Gift Set.

Integrity Toys has always been about diversity and, let’s not kid ourselves, many of their core clientele are LGTB+. Now they have broken another barrier in the fashion doll world by releasing the first-ever gay male couple fashion doll gift set, Love is Love, just in time for the upcoming LGBT Pride Month. The Love is Love gift set features two 12.5 inch male dolls, each wearing different tuxedos, complete with wedding bands and a miniature invitation, as they celebrate their love and marriage.

Integrity Toys Luxe Life 2018 Convention: Style Lab

This year's Style Lab concept centres around  Tulabelle True™ as she helps promote the new Rufus Blue™ fashion label called MISS BEHAVE. Each doll in the Style Lab is sold nude and outfits are sold separately, as always. What’s new this year is that every doll and each outfit include a bonus "build-a-doll" component that allows people who buy the entire collection to build an additional, complete Poppy Parker dressed doll when the entire collection is purchased. More further down in the post. Let’s see the 2018 MISS BEHAVE Style Lab Collection

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.

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!

Item # 88010

Legacy

Janay® Doll

THE INDUSTRY ™: The Lovesick Collection

Approx. Ship Date: November

Suggested Retail: $130.00 US

Available Via Dealers

Edition Size: 725

Head Sculpt: Janay 2.5

Body Type: THE INDUSTRY™

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: FR Black

Hair Color: Raven

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

Quickswitch: No

Included:

• 12-inch fully articulated fashion doll with rooted hair and hand-applied eyelashes;
• Brocade coat;
• Satin jumpsuit;
• Thigh-high stockings;
• Tall lace-up boots;
• "Pearl" choker necklace, ring, earrings and bracelet;
• Doll stand;
• Certificate of authenticity.

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.

Item # 88011

Color Clash

Alysa® Doll

THE INDUSTRY™:The Lovesick Collection

Approx. Ship Date: November

Suggested Retail: $130.00 US

Available Via Dealers

Edition Size: 725

Head Sculpt: Alysa 3.5

Body Type: THE INDUSTRY™

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: New Hispanic

Hair Color: Light Blonde

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

Quickswitch: No

Included:

• 12-inch fully articulated fashion doll with rooted hair and hand-applied eyelashes;
• Metallic lamé dress;
• Leopard print coat;
• Orange tights;
• Metallic blue loafers;
• Handbag;
• Barrette, earrings and ring;
• Doll stand;
• Certificate of authenticity.

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.

Item # 88012

Feelin' Extra

Jade®Doll

THE INDUSTRY™:The Lovesick Collection

Approx. Ship Date: November

Suggested Retail: $130.00 US

Available Via Dealers

Edition Size: 725

Head Sculpt: Jade 3.0

Body Type: THE INDUSTRY™

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: FR White

Hair Color: Brown Mix

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

Quickswitch: No

Included:

• 12-inch fully articulated fashion doll with rooted hair and hand-applied eyelashes;
• Bomber jacket;
• T-shirt
• Pleather mini skirt;
• Calf-length lace-up boots;
• Purse;
• Head band;
• Earrings, ring and choker collar;
• Sunglasses;
• Doll stand;
• Certificate of authenticity.

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.

Item # 88013

Hot to the Touch

Bellamy Blue™ Fashion Figure

THE INDUSTRY™:The Lovesick Collection

Approx. Ship Date: November 2018

Retail: $130.00 US

Available Via Dealers

Edition Size: 725

Head Sculpt: Bellamy Blue

Body Type: Homme 1.5 (With Disassembling Joints)

Skin Tone: FR White

Hair Color: Silver

Eyelashes: No

Quickswitch: No

Included:

• 12.75-inch fully articulated fashion figure with rooted and flocked hair;
• Parka;
• Printed t-shirt
• Button-down embroidered shirt;
• Jeans;
• Combat boots;
• Ring;
• Wrist watch;
• Eyeglasses;
• Tote bag;
• Doll stand;
• Certificate of authenticity.

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?

Fashion Fairytale: Integrity Toys 2017 Convention part 3 - Style Lab Collection The Industry goes to Wonderland

The Style Lab this year marks a major change. No more CI dolls but in their place, The Industry makes its first convention appearance and some Poppy Parker dolls are added to the mix. I wonder if the Poppies have The Industry body as well, which would be logical since they are part of this collection. The designs are inspired by Alice In Wonderland. As per usual, each doll in the Style Lab is sold nude and outfits are sold separately. Again the group as a whole is underwhelming, especially considering both the general theme but also Wonderland. Some of the fashions do rise above the rest but they are the exception that proves the rule. Pet peeve: why do they describe male dolls as figures? They are dolls, simple as that. Now, shall we go down the rabbit hole?

Integrity had done most of the popular fairytales in their Nu Face line, with Wonderland in IFDC 2010, with Dynamite Girl Gavin as Alice. This version of Alice is a bit darker but not goth enough. Maybe on a different doll? It does give off a Russian folk vibe.

This is the Queen Of Hearts I presume. Not very queenly but oh so Saint Laurent inspired:

There should have been something black instead of those red pants under the coat. A long slit skirt made of fishnet maybe? A mini skirt with a long fishnet overlay making a train in the back? Something suggesting a Queen anyway.

Here’s the rabbit then. The black and white choice makes it look more like a Playboy bunny dressed for church then a Fairytale inspired one. A monocle and chain watch would have made quite a difference. And the doll is boring, did we not get a similar Liu Liu in the first Industry collection?

There’s always one male doll in each Style Lab collection that I don’t like at all, no matter what. This is the one for 2017, even though he’s channeling the Cheshire Cat, one of my favourite characters of Wonderland. Meh does not even begin to describe it. Another new character (again with an old CI sculpt) for Industry that will look great with a different styling.

First Integrity Toys collection for 2017 unveiled: The Industry

Welcome to the new home of The Fashion Doll Chronicles! The new webpage is designed to expand the scope and content of the blog, while staying true to it! So you will be able to keep on reading the blog (and all the old posts of course), while having the joy to see large photos categorised into various sections. I have made the old blog redirect here. Our new address is www.fashiondollchronicles.com and the direct address to the blog now is www.fashiondollchronicles.com/fashiondollchronicles . Let me know what you think about the new website and redesign!

In other news, Integrity Toys just unveiled their new collection, their first in 2017, and it is the much anticipated Industry full collection. So far we had only seen two dolls, one for the general public and one in the convention, both being the 12" version of Tulabelle. New characters are introduced now, two girls and two boys. David Buttry is the man behind this collection and he has done a great job. The dolls look very modern and hip, with the incredible accessories stealing the show. My favourites are the guys and I have them preordered. The collection is available for preorder now from the regular IT dealers, so go ahead and get the ones you want. Be quick as the W Club had a heads up so some dolls might be sold out already. Let's see them one by one.

Tulabelle True™ Dressed Doll
The Industry™ 
Approximate Ship Date: Late Spring/Early Summer 2017
Edition Size: 600 Dolls Worldwide
Suggested Retail Price: $125.00 US

Doll Tech Specs:

Head Sculpt: Tulabelle
Hair Color: Light-Auburn
Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-Applied
Body Type: The Industry 1.0
Foot Sculpt: Traditional High-Heeled Feet
Quick Switch Feature: No
Skin Tone: Japan

Tulabelle True™ is a fully articulated 12.5 inch doll with fully rooted hair and hand applied eyelashes. Tulabelle is wearing a little black dress, paired with a sequined cropped jacket. She has a welath of accessories including a smart phone, and a coffee cup. Jewellery, a bag and boots are included too. For adult collectors ages 15 and up only. This doll cannot stand alone; a doll stand is included.

I did not like the first Tulabelle and I have still not changed my mind about the sculpt, even if she has gorgeous red hair like this version. Just a reminder that according to the storyline she is Poppy Parker's granddaughter and a fashion blogger, hence the smart phone and the coffee cup, as she is supposedly frequenting fashion shows and blogs about them. I like the dress but the jewellery look wrong with it. The boots are a rehash of the NU Face ones from their last collection, but minus the gold soles and heels. The striped tights look like a zebra (not good). The pink lipstick reminds me of a previous Vanessa (and other recent FR dolls) and does not look very current in fashion, as one can see while checking last autumns Spring/Summer collections. The spirit of he outfit is a bit Balmain, which can be good or bad, depending on your personal taste. I love the dress, her bag with the word DOLLFACE on it (very tongue-in-cheek) and of course the phone and cup.

Liu Liu Ling™ Dressed Doll
The Industry™ 
Approximate Ship Date: Late Spring/Early Summer 2017
Edition Size: 600 Dolls Worldwide

Head Sculpt: Liu Liu Ling (New Sculpt!)
Hair Color: Pale Pink
Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-Applied
Body Type: The Industry 1.0
Foot Sculpt: Flat (Articulated at the Ankles)
Quick Switch Feature: No
Skin Tone: FR White

Liu Liu Ling™ is a fully articulated 12.5 inch doll with a combination of rooted hair and flocked hair and features hand applied eyelashes. Liu Liu is wearing a hooded faux-fur jacket over a layered mini-dress and complements the look with a jewellery set, a high-contrast carry-on bag and a rose gold cell phone. Liu Liu is the very first doll from The Industry Collection to feature the new articulated flat foot and she comes with two flat pairs of shoes, a pair of knee-high boots and a pair of sandals. For adult collectors ages 15 and up only. This doll cannot stand alone; a doll stand is included.

The hair remind me of a Barbie with a similar hairstyle in yellow. but the rest is pure Integrity. The face though does not make me want her. It must be the first Asian sculpt Integrity does that does not click with me. The dress is amazing, with the layering of knit over fabric and the micro-sequins on the sleeves. The coat though is awkward and bulky and does not flatter her at all. Wondering how the flat feet will work in real life as one cannot tell from the photos. They look more refined than Poppy's articulated feet though. She has the same phone as Tulabelle. while the bag is not as original in style. The jewellery looks nice.

Binx Barone™ is a fully articulated 12.5 inch doll with fully rooted hair and hand applied eyelashes. Binx Barone comes dressed in a long jacquard print overcoat and intricately constructed cocktail dress, accessorized with jewellery, a black purse, cat-eyed glasses, socks and shoes. BINX also comes with a golden tablet. For adult collectors ages 15 and up only. This doll cannot stand alone; a doll stand is included.

Binx is, according to the story line, a fashion editor reporting on the collections. She is the only doll with a darker skin tone in this collection, a Latina, while there is no African American doll yet. I bet there will be one added at a later point, although they could have made one of the two caucasian or asian dolls into one. Binx looks nice but has a slightly wide face which is not flattered by the hairstyle of the doll. And while each item she is wearing looks good by itself, the combination is a bit off. Love the tablet! The socks-with-shoes combo should have been used for the Versace vinyl mini dresses at the convention, as they were the ones used in real life.Her bag is very nice too. The coat looks more like something a Fashion Royalty lady would wear and the same goes with most of her jewellery. That of course might signify that Binx is an older character than the other dolls in the collection.

Another Asian boy for Integrity, Tate looks great and is dressed amazingly well too. There's nothing I do not love about this guy, so he's preordered of course!

Cabot Clark™ Fashion Figure
The Industry™ 
Approximate Ship Date: Late Spring/Early Summer 2017
Edition Size: 600 Fashion Figures Worldwide

Doll Tech Specs:

Head Sculpt: Cabot Clark (New Sculpt!)
Hair Color: Platinum
Eyelashes: No
Body Type: Homme 1.5
Foot Sculpt: Homme
Quick Switch Feature: No
Skin Tone: FR White

Cabot Clark™ is a fully articulated 12.5 inch fashion figure with short, fully rooted hair. Cabot wears a sheer shirt with a pair of silver-toned trousers under a "fur" jacket and comes with a miniature makeup case and ultra-detailed miniature "makeup" palettes and faux-brushes. For adult collectors ages 15 and up only. This doll cannot stand alone; a doll stand is included.

Although he is supposedly a new sculpt, he reminds me too much of either Chip or Auden - he could be the old Chip face (as that character now has a new face), no? I love everything about him, he's glam and gorgeous and so are his accessories, which will be hard to keep out of the hands of all the ladies in my collection. I bet he will be a very popular guy at home, ha ha. My only reservation is the apparent velcro strip for his shirt closure at the front. I just wonder how the delicate shirt fabric will remain safe from it.

So what do you think of the first full Industry collection? Are you getting any dolls? If yes, which ones?
