Integrity Toys 2016 unveil: Jem And The Holograms On-Stage Collection

The third line unveiled this month from Integrity Toys is Jem And The Holograms On-Stage collection. All dolls are sold directly from Integrity Toys; one is ready to ship now while three more are available to pre-order now. I liked Riot a lot but he should have had a guitar (or whatever instrument he plays) with him to complete the look. If you're doing a gift set, do it properly. And the price surely can cover that. All the dolls will have special packaging/carry case that turns into a dressing room with wardrobe, make up table and acrylic stool. Also, if W Club members pre-order all four dolls together, they get $25 off.

Integrity Toys 2016 unveil: The Industry

The Industry is a much anticipated new line from Integrity Toys - Tulabelle goes 12". There were many collectors who loved the Tulabelle line but were afraid to venture into the 16" doll world. So now there is a line that transfers the audacious Tulabelle style into 12". There was only one doll unveiled, which looks like testing the waters to me. She is probably sold out from pre-orders in the official dealers right now but if you want one, contact them pronto. She looks nice but a bit tame for me. I was expecting her a bit more outrageous in style. The sculpt looks interesting, much better than her 1:4 scale incarnation.


Item # 88001
Lady Stardust
Tulabelle™ Dressed Doll
THE INDUSTRY™ Collection
Approximate Ship Date: Late Summer 2016
Limited Edition Size: 500 Dolls Worldwide
Suggested Retail Price: $120.00


Doll Tech Specs: 
Body Type: THE INDUSTRY™ (New Sculpt) 
Head Sculpt: Tulabelle™ (12-inch / 1:6 Scale)
Quick Switch Feature: No 
Skin Tone: FR White 
Hair Color: Ash Blond
Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-Applied


Tulabelle wears 70s gaucho pants, platform boots, a sheer chiffon blouse and a black and white striped "fur" trimmed coat. A silver clutch, studded bracelets and thunderbolt earrings complete the outfit. Tulabelle™ is a fully articulated 12-inch doll with fully rooted hair and hand applied eyelashes. For adult collectors ages 15 and up only. This doll cannot stand alone; a doll stand is included. David Buttry, the doll's designer, notes that as a design choice (not a budgetary decision), they chose to use a very fine, micro-velcro closure on the front placket of Tulabelle's shirt. The reason given for that is that the fabric is very sheer and they did not want to have a visual distraction with the use of hooks and loops, so the decision was made to use velcro. I know some collectors who immediately associate velcro with cheap playline clothes so it will  be interesting to see the reaction. It looks nice in the photos.



THE INDUSTRY doll has a brand new, freshly engineered body sculpt. This new body can be completely disassembled and has interchangeable hands. This feature was decided to help dress dolls in tight, form-fitting clothes and eliminate unnecessary closures that add bulk to scaled clothing whenever possible. THE INDUSTRY body is a completely new body sculpt, except for the hands. The arms, legs, torso, and bust are all new sculpts. THE INDUSTRY shares Poppy's hands. The foot is not the same as the Dynamite Girl foot but a new more delicate, detailed foot with a slightly different arch, although within the same size as the Dynamite Girl foot. The new foot allows her to share shoes with other fashion dolls currently on the market. The bottom leg is removable and in the future, some of THE INDUSTRY dolls will have a brand new articulated ankle and foot. This will enable some dolls to have flat feet and others to have a high heel foot in the same collection. The bust size is similar to the current NU. Face bust size. The doll will have a brand new packaging style designed by Alain Tremblay that includes a portrait picture of the doll with each new release. Below is a photo of the nude body:


It looks like a fusion of Nu-Face and Poppy or Dynamite Girls and Poppy bodies. From the very top of the head to the toe, the body is almost 12 1/4" tall. The body is slightly shorter than current NU. Face but taller than Poppy Parker.

Lady Stardust is a direct reference to David Bowie and his song from his 1972 album The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars. Her outfit also references the one Bowie is wearing in this seminal photo by Terry O' Neill while preparing the artwork of his 1974 album Diamond Dogs in London.




The doll pictured in this release is a prototype. Final fabrics, colors and textures may vary slightly.

Integrity Toys 2016 unveil: Poppy Parker - The BonBon collection

A bit later than usual (a week to ten days later than last year I think) comes the first wave of new releases from Integrity Toys. Poppy Parker is the major line is this wave and it is of course the BonBon collection, samples of which we got to see earlier in the year: the upgrade Poppy (Ma Petite Fleur)  and the W Club first doll, Ooh La La. As a refresher, let me remind you that the concept of the collection is that Poppy is on her first trip to Paris for modelling and so, as David Buttry told the W Club in the video accompanying the release, it draws elements from Parisian couture as well as from the very first Poppy Parker collections. So they use not only a new screening (like the one of the W Club doll) but also those from the first collections - remember those dolls are still very sought after. The dolls are available to pre-order from IT dealers except two of the dolls, which will be available later through lottery.

I have to say that I was a bit underwhelmed reading the presentation email. It's not that the dolls are not beautiful but I only wanted one to join my collection - and that one is due for a lottery in the coming months. I think I expected something different design-wise, more like ooh La La and less like Parisian mannequins of the early 60s (which A Funny Face has already covered for me to perfection). I am sure people will love the collection, as it has been a while since the designs had the early part of the decade as an inspiration, but to me it simply did not click. I will be writing my particular thoughts about each doll below - lets fly to Paris!

Item # PP100
Bonjour Mademoiselle
Poppy Parker™ Dressed Doll
The Bonbon Collection
Approximate Ship Date: Late Summer/Early Fall 
Limited Edition Size: 800 Dolls Worldwide
Suggested Retail Price: $120.00


Doll Tech Specs: 
Body Type: Poppy Parker™ 
Head Sculpt: Poppy Parker™ 
Quick Switch Feature: No 
Skin Tone: FR White 
Hair Colour: Raven 
Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-Applied


Poppy's ensemble includes a sea foam sheath dress and a black and white hounds-tooth coat with matching beret. A pair of assorted duo-toned kitten heels, a fleur-de-lis brooch, a pair of stud earrings and a fully functional customized travel train case finish off this lovely ensemble. Poppy Parker is a fully articulated 12.5-inch doll with fully rooted hair and hand applied eyelashes. For adult collectors ages 15 and up only. This doll cannot stand alone; a doll stand is included.


According to her serial number, this is the 100th Poppy version released by Integrity. I was expecting them to have a very special doll with that number, but it seems they did not consider it important. This one, while looking great, simply reminds me of one of the Mood Changers Poppies, down to the colour of her dress. If I did not have that one already, I might be getting this one, but now it simply does not interest me at all., And yes, that's the travel train case we have seen before in Sabrina, albeit in a different colour and print.

Poppy wears a baby blue peignoir set that consists of a baby doll nightie with delicate ribbon and lace detailing, a layered full-length sheer robe, and matching blue satin mules with pompom accents. She comes with the teddy bear, a ring and stud earrings as well as a leather-bound diary with a lock. Poppy Parker is a fully articulated 12.5-inch doll with fully rooted hair and hand applied eyelashes. For adult collectors ages 15 and up only. This doll cannot stand alone; a doll stand is included.


This is fluffy and cute all-right, but I don't do fluffy or cute in my collection. The teddy bear is a nice touch as is the diary and I love the ring. The hair-style I could live without. The outfit was inspired by one David saw in the film "The Love God?". I guess the pink one?

Poppy wears a yellow suit with black accent belt and tops it off with a bell-shaped flocked hat, black gloves and faux pearl jewellery - earrings, necklace and bracelet. She comes with a handbag and a shopping bag. Poppy Parker is a fully articulated 12.5-inch doll with fully rooted hair and hand applied eyelashes. For adult collectors ages 15 and up only. This doll cannot stand alone; a doll stand is included.


This one again reminds me of a Mood Changer Poppy, the red-head. If her skin tone was Japan or Cream, I probably would try to get her. Nice suit, boring jewellery. Gorgeous handbag.

Poppy is sporting a turquoise brocade cocktail dress with a tulip skirt and coordinating jewellery: earrings, necklace and bracelet. She finishes it off with a faux fur wrap, matching clutch and shoes.  Poppy Parker is a fully articulated 12.5-inch doll with fully rooted hair and hand applied eyelashes. For adult collectors ages 15 and up only. This doll cannot stand alone; a doll stand is included.


The silhouette of this dress does not photograph well. I wonder how it will look in real life. I do not like the brocade pattern at all, but the colour combinations are lovely. Great jewellery set. The shoes look poor for this type of outfit. she needed something more glamorous here.

Poppy wears a black and white polka dotted cocktail dress with black belt and gloves. She tops it off with a black tulle spectator headpiece along with earrings, necklace and a black clutch. Poppy Parker is a fully articulated 12.5-inch doll with fully rooted hair and hand applied eyelashes. For adult collectors ages 15 and up only. This doll cannot stand alone; a doll stand is included.


I would get this one if the polka dots were smaller (I know, I'm picky) and the top tier of the skirt (the polka dot part) sat better on the tulle layers. There is a special construction at the back but it gets lost in black. The dress is actually a copy of a Lanvin dress designed by Antonio Castillo in 1957, now in the V&A museum, donated by Stella, Lady Ednam (see photo below).

Poppy Parker is a fully articulated 12.5-inch doll with fully rooted hair and hand applied eyelashes. For adult collectors ages 15 and up only. This doll cannot stand alone; a doll stand is included.


This is the closer it gets to the previous Poppy releases of this collection. Lovely dress and cute dog. She's like the opposite version of the W Club Poppy. I like the doll but not that much to buy her.

Poppy wears a strapless white brocade gown, contrasted with an obi style waistband and long train in lilac. A matching clutch bag, shoes, and long white opera gloves complete the ensemble. The jewellery set includes earrings, necklace and bracelet. Poppy Parker is a fully articulated 12.5-inch doll with fully rooted hair and hand applied eyelashes. For adult collectors ages 15 and up only. This doll cannot stand alone; a doll stand is included.


This is a case where the accessories are more interesting than the dress itself. I love the jewellery and bag very much but the dress looks a bit simple for them. Maybe if it her a couture detail at the front of the bodice and the train was double-faced (white on the top. purple at the bottom for example) it would look more spectacular. The shoes could have been better - why not high heeled sling backs? Or a jewelled buckle on them? As for the doll, the intensity of the eye-shadow is off-putting. The lipstick looks a lot like those used in the era.

Poppy wears a frothy ball gown of gathered pale pink tulle accented with a black belt and flower detail at the waist. A pink satin cloth and matching shoes as well as earrings, bracelets and a ring finish off the ensemble. The bag has a flower closure to match the outfit. She comes with the perfume bottle as well. Poppy Parker is a fully articulated 12.5-inch doll with fully rooted hair and hand applied eyelashes. For adult collectors ages 15 and up only. This doll cannot stand alone; a doll stand is included.


I love this doll. It reminds me of Chanel Couture so much, while it is actually homage to a Dior 1963 dress designed by Marc Bohan (see last photo). Doll, outfit, accessories are all perfect. David said it is the grandest gown they have made for Poppy so far and I agree. I hope to win her at the lottery. Perfection!

ITBE Fashionistas by Integrity Toys - 16" basic dolls!

Integrity Toys decided to release 16" ITBE dolls for the very first time. These, as is the norm for their ITBE releases in the last few years, use bodies and sculpts already in use in other lines, either older or current. Here we see the two old AvantGuard sculpts used (open and closed mouth) as well as the original Elsa Lin sculpt from the original FR 16" line-up. After a 24h period of them being available only to W Club members, now they are available on the IT-Direct website for purchase at approximately noon Eastern Time. They are all sporting the FR 16" body and wear a simple dress, a pair of stud earrings and plain shoes. The price for each doll: $99.00! I like them all but I will try and get Reflective. I have the sculpt in other versions but not in that skin tone.

Integrity Toys 2016 convention: SUPERMODELS - Larger than Life on the Catwalk

One of the hottest anticipated events of any doll calendar is the Integrity Toys annual convention. The announcment and registration process always takes place in spring. It finally arrived: W Club members have May 2nd to register, while, if there are any places left, the general public can register on May 3rd. Let's check out what is happening:


This year's theme is the supermodels. And of course, it means the original, 90s ladies, not the lesser clones of later years and the unworthy carrying the title lately. The supermodels of that era were known to everyone by their first name, they were truly beloved and admired, they were the true stars of the era, they were on magazine covers instead of actors and celebrities. This year's convention is all about celebrating some of the most glamorous ladies to ever live and every Integrity Toys doll line offered at the convention will be inspired by these fashion icons! Here's a list of what the 2016 SUPERMODEL Convention Pass offers:


For the price of $500.00 US (or $475 if you take advantage of the early bird special), you'll get:


  • A welcome bag with a very special give-away right when you arrive (usually a doll or an outfit).
  • Two full sit down dinners and a luncheon with highly sought-after swag (i.e. dolls) given out at each event.
  • Opportunity to participate in the "Fashion Bazaar", a sales-room for collectors to sell and swap their own goodies (and just like last year, renting a table is FREE and opened to all registered convention guests). Also, at the "Fashion Bazaar", guests can enter our annual costume contest and party with IT staff.
  • Access to the Integrity Toys Collection display, where you get to see all of those cool dolls in person; this year's display will feature a short trip down memory lane with an exhibit covering some of the highlights of the years of Integrity Toys in business.
  • Access to the IT Direct Souvenir shop, where you can scoop up all of those special and limited edition Integrity Toys convention exclusive collectibles and other great deals, just for convention attendees.
  • The opportunity to take part in exciting and unique workshops.
  • The opportunity to purchase the exclusive convention collection.
  • The opportunity to purchase the ever popular Color Infusion Style Lab collection.
  • For W Club Members only, the opportunity to sign-up for the Members-Only luncheon.
  • Exciting raffles with one-of-a-kind dolls created just for the event by the Integrity Toys design team.
  • For people with budding design talents, the chance to enter the annual design contest, where this year again, one winner will see their original design turned into an IT production doll.


This year's convention hotel is the Chicago Airport hotel with cutting-edge design, innovative spaces and stylish guest rooms and suites. Experience the convenience of staying near O'Hare Airport, down-town Chicago and exciting shopping destinations while at the Hyatt Regency O'Hare. Hyatt Regency O'Hare has an impressive modern aesthetic that speaks to business and leisure travellers. The hotel has large, open meeting spaces, featuring state-of-the-art technology and relaxing areas where you will enjoy spending time with your friends. Of course there is a special convention hotel rate of $174.00 + tax/night (single and double occupancy only)* for your stay with them during the convention. This rate is available starting Wednesday, October 12th, 2016 (check-in) until Sunday, October 16th, 2016 (check-out). As usual, a limited number of rooms are also available for those of you that would like to extend your stay for the days before and after the convention. Please note that IT and the W Club Liaisons will not be involved in this and you will need to contact the hotel yourself for the extended stay options and make these arrangements directly with the hotel's reservation desk.


This year again, Integrity Toys will be releasing the full registration package containing all of the glamorous details of the convention, including more details on themes and activities of the convention in a few months This is done to give everyone a chance to be around when the registration package is released, since the sign-up for many of the activities will be limited and will be offered on a first come, first served basis to those who will have already registered for the convention when the registration package is released. The exact time and date of the registration package being posted will be sent out to conventioneers a few days ahead, so that they can be prepared when this most awaited moment happens.


This year again, Integrity Toys is offering multiple options to register for the event and the earlier you sign up, the earlier you will gain access to the IT Direct Souvenir Shop at the convention itself. No matter if you chose to sign up using the early bird special or the instalment plan, the earlier you sign up, the better your queue number will be for the wait lines. Last year, the convention sold out in less than 48 hours; if you are planning on attending the event, do not delay registering when the link goes live on Monday, May 2nd, 2016 at 6:00PM (for W Club members) or Tuesday May 3rd for the general public. Convention registration is offered on a first-come, first-served basis and spots cannot be reserved for anyone.


Here are the two options available this year to purchase your registration package:

Early Bird Special:
$475.00 US (payable in full immediately at registration)

If you pay in full IN ONE COMPLETE PAYMENT before May, 13th 2016 at Noon Eastern (New York time), you save $25.00! If the convention is not sold out after this date, the full price of registration will be $500.00 US.

or

Installment Plan:
$500.00 US (payable in three installments)

To help guests budget for their trip a little better, this year again, an instalment plan is offered. The first instalment of $150.00 US is due immediately at registration to secure your convention pass(es) and then, you will be invoiced via email for the balance in two additional instalments of $175.00 each on approximately May 24th and June 24th, 2016 respectively.


  • Children under the age of 10 will not be admitted.
  • Convention registration is offered on a first-come, first-served basis and we cannot reserve spots for anyone.
  • No absentee packages available.
  • No proxies are accepted and Integrity Toys will only acknowledge one registrant per registration pass. The convention team will only speak directly with the guests who are registered to actually attend the convention in person. As always, you are more than welcome to make your own arrangements to purchase someone's convention goodies before or after the fact, but Integrity Toys will not deal with third parties who are not physically in attendance at the convention. This includes (but is not limited to) purchasing a pass for someone else when you yourself are not attending, pre-ordering the convention collection unless you are registered and attending, etc. If you find someone to attend on your behalf, please make sure that you both understand that they are the ones who will have to purchase the convention registration or any other items offered during the event in their own name and then, ship them to you afterwards. Any arrangements that you make with this person will be strictly between you and him/her and Integrity Toys will no longer recognize or deal with anyone else other than the guests actually present in person at the convention and whose sole name appears on the ticket.
  • The Fashion Bazaar is an event started in the fall of 2014, which was a huge success with attendees. Guests are encouraged to come wearing their best disguise, as there will be a costume party and an actual sales room where guests will be allowed to bring down Integrity Toys goodies to sell in the ballroom (more details about this will be in the upcoming registration package).
  • You can make a vacation of this convention and bring yout family. One the reasons behind the creation of the "Fashion Bazaar" was to have a more "optional" event that would give guests some free time so that they could go explore if they wished on Friday night. Please note, however, that this convention is geared towards adult collectors and children below 10 years old are not allowed. Only fully registered guests will be allowed to attend the various functions and gain access to the IT Direct Store and Style Lab. While your family members are more than welcome to stay with you at the convention hotel, please note that if you would like your family members to actually attend the convention functions, they will need to be fully registered.
  • If you want to get early access to the Souvenir Shop, you should buy your registration package as soon as possible, since the date/time stamp of your paid invoice will determine your wait line priority number at the event.
  • In order to give a chance to a maximum number of guests to purchase their convention passes first, Integrity Toys will release the registration package within the next few months. If you are planning on submitting an application to be a table host, you may start to find your table mates immediately. When the time comes, you'll be prepared to send Alain Trembley your complete table list. There's no need to contact him about it ahead of time. Having a complete table of guests will not guarantee you a position as a table host.
  • There will not be a JEM-specific event or souvenir available at the convention. There will be Color Infusion products featured in our Style Lab, which also share a body with JEM.
  • Budget concerns: typically, registration package included, it is a good idea to set aside a minimum of $2000 to $3000 US to have a comfortable and worry free time at the convention.
  • Transfers and cancellations will be accepted up to 60 days before the start of the convention, therefore until August 12th, 2016. A fee of $75.00 US for transfers or cancellations per convention pass will be applicable. After August 12th, 2016, no refunds or transfers will be accepted and you will forfeit the price of your ticket if you choose not to attend the event. This is not negotiable and out of fairness to everyone, no exceptions will be made.
  • Integrity Toys will not accept last minute requests to have table hosts pick up goodies on your behalf. Souvenirs are counted and table hosts will be instructed to bring back any souvenirs that are not spoken for. If you are not present in person, you forfeit your convention pass and there will be no refunds issued or souvenirs sent after the convention. 


So what do you think about this year's theme? How will the well established characters of Integrity Toys lines transform into 90s supermodels? Which character will be Linda? Christy? Naomi?
