W Club members were notified by mail about the next doll in the open Basic Edition series, Poppy Parker. People were wondering, from the very first time basic open edition dolls were premiered, whether Poppy would be offered in such a way, and finally here she is. Like the previous dolls in this series, this new basic edition doll is made in open edition size, whereas when she "sells-out", more will be produced and then made available for sale in the IT shopping cart. While these will ship in waves, once the initial shipment that is currently in the IT warehouse sells out, the next run should ship later this year. Here’s the chance to get a Poppy Parker doll in a low price. Due to the popularity of the character though, Integrity will be selling this one a bit differently. For the first 24h, W Club members will be getting a special online form to fill in, that will go live Monday, March 22nd, 2021 at Noon Eastern Time. IT will then start to notify individuals in batches during that day until all doll requests are accounted for. Like the previous open Basic Edition dolls in the series, these dolls will be available to everyone on release day, members and non-members alike. People allocated a doll from IT will have until NOON ET on March 23rd, to complete their purchase for the number of dolls allocated. If they don’t complete the purchase, the doll goes again up for sale.. At around 12:30 ET on March 23rd, if any dolls remain, they will be made available for anyone to grab directly in the IT shopping cart and those who signed up early will lose the priority purchase window if their purchase isn’t complete. Remember that this doll will be available for purchase later this year, once a new shipment arrives..

Weird that they are only offering one version of the most popular IT character as a basic open edition - but that could be because of the new system they are trying out to ease the strain on their servers. I loved the doll upon first sight, and was even thinking about getting her, but then realized that she looks so much like other Poppy dolls I already have. So I will not get her - at least for now. Her outfit reminds me a lot of Calendar Shot Gene Marshall.
