Dolly Fridays 2: The TRUE™ Collection is unveiled - Industry reborn!

The 2nd Dolly Friday W Club presentation was about a full collection, the second one revealed this club year (after Poppy Parker’s Palm Springs), which could be a sign of things returning to a more regular pace after the disruptions experienced beginning in 2020. There were six dolls unveiled in total, from the brand new TRUE Collection, all created by IT designers David Buttry and Mark Tinkey. The line is a rebranding of Industry, with a bit of Dynamite Girls pizzaz thrown in. Two dolls are IT Direct lottery items, while the rest are available through official IT dealers. I like what David and Mark are doing here - the collection is cohesive and has a definite point of view, combining the various inspirations and influences in a strong and relatable manner. Some dolls tend to look cartoony, edging closer to Dynamite Girls than Industry, but that was to be expected. Let’s hope this iteration stays and does not need another revamp to sell.

The Story:

Top Model Hollis Hughes has been around the world and is a well-regarded voice in the Industry. She’s been brought onto the TRUE team to lend her expertise and knowledge to the brand and to make sure the company’s goals are kept on target.

Very_Necessary_Hollis_Hughes_doll_

We first saw Hollis in Style Lab and she was a popular sculpt, so here she is again as a TRUE character. She has a lovely face and nice make up, but the hair is very play-line. Her outfit is a mix and match of many disparate things that kind of work. Nice to see a different shape for sunglasses. She looks the most adult of the bunch. Hollis, like all the other female dolls of the collection, comes with two pair of feet, high heeled and articulated flat feet, even though they have only one pair of shoes.

The Story:

Through years of experience in the fashion industry, Tulabelle has taken on a new role as creative director at her own label. She’s a free-spirit who is as smart as she is fun. She’s ready to step out of the shadows of her well known family and become a success on her own merits.

Big_Love_Tulabelle_True_doll_

Included:

  • 12-inch articulated doll with rooted hair and hand-applied eyelashes;

  • Printed bodysuit with ruched sleeve and bow detail;

  • Color blocked thigh high boots (made for flat foot lower leg);

  • Vintage style handbag;

  • Acrylic heart earrings;

Big_Love_Tulabelle_True_doll_

This is the first time that Tulabelle appears in a darker skin tone, at least in this sculpt version. I still cannot bring myself to like this sculpt - even though her resemblance to Ginger is stronger. The styling is very Gucci by Alessandro Michele and also has some Twiggy vibes. Awesome combination of colours throughout - and I love the miniature corduroy fabric. The boots are for the articulated flat feet she comes with, but of course one can use the high heeled feet to let her wear other styles.

The Story:

Close friend of Tulabelle and as a senior stylist of the TRUE brand, Liu Liu has built a reputation for being honest and direct with her friends and business associates, making her one of the most trusted and well-regarded people in the fashion industry. She’s one of Tulabelle’s biggest assets at the brand, and she knows it.

Probably one of the best versions of this sculpt, Liu Liu looks fantastic here - especially her colourful outfit. It consists of various items that work well together but also will work great in other outfits. I love the quirky hat (fox pin included) - it transforms the whole ensemble. The shoes and earrings are also great accessories and will be easily worked in other outfits. Love the printed bag too - David said it is a custom print, as pretty much all of the prints of this collection. Her face is a bit cartoony with this screening, reminding me a lot of Mulan dolls, but that might also be part of her appeal.

Drop_that_ish_Tate_Tanaka_doll_

The Story:

As a noted designer, entrepreneur, and boyfriend of Tulabelle, Tate Tanaka has taken on the role as head of design at TRUE. Leaning into his many connections and resources and model good looks, he’s determined to make the TRUE brand stand out from the crowd.

Drop_that_ish_Tate_Tanaka_doll_

Included:

  • 12.5-inch articulated fashion figure with flocked hair;

  • Orange corduroy cargo pants;

  • Gold-tone plaid shirt;

  • Matching teddy bear backpack;

  • Vintage inspired graphic tee;

  • Sleeveless distressed jean vest;

  • Necklace;

  • Finger ring (not pictured);

  • High top sneakers;

  • White sport socks;

  • Faux fur bucket hat;

  • Wristwatch;

  • Sunglasses;

  • Pair of regular male hands;

  • Alternate pair of grip hands;

  • Figure stand;

  • Certificate of authenticity.

Drop_that_ish_Tate_Tanaka_doll_

Tate is usually the most popular doll in any collection he’s part of, and this one is no exception. He has a fully flocked head here and it is his first with a darker skin tone- each of his previous iterations had pale skin. His outfit is awesome - the plaid shirt looks a lot like the famous Alicia Silverstone Clueless outfit (and Salvador Arriaga staple) and matches with a gorgeous teddy bear backpack! Awesomeness! Furry bucket hat, multicoloured sneakers, necklace, glasses and watch complete the layered look. The whole look has value for money and I wonder why we cannot have this combination of price/clothing items + accessories in other lines. I’m happy that I managed to be confirmed for him.

The Story:

Socialite Jasper Jagger has done a lot in a very short amount of time. From being a part of her family’s media empire to creating her own popular cosmetic line at 20, this has all made her a known social media darling. She and Tulabelle are very close but have also been known to have their very public disagreements but no matter what, she’s been there for her bestie… for the most part.

Hurts_Like_Heaven_Jasper_Jagger_doll_

Included:

  • 12-inch articulated doll with rooted hair and hand-applied eyelashes;

  • Colorful camo print bubble dress with drawstring detail and matching panties;

  • Anorak style jacket with hood and "True" branded trim;

  • Knee high buckled platform boots with back zipper;

  • Rhinestone choker;

  • Pink painted hoop earrings;

  • Red painted skull ring with rhinestone detail;

  • Crossbody bag;

  • Sunglasses;

  • Pair of long manicured hands;

  • Pair of articulated flat foot lower legs;

  • Alternate pair of high-heeled lower legs;

  • Doll stand;

  • Certificate of authenticity.

Hurts_Like_Heaven_Jasper_Jagger_doll_

Contrary to many collectors, I never liked Jasper. I find the sculpt not only cartoony but also weird looking. This version does not change that. She does have a gorgeous outfit though: a fantastic hooded anorak (that I would wear myself), a beautiful bubble hemmed dress over a printed aqua t-shirt, platform gladiator boots and great jewellery (including a scull ring). I hope to be able to find that anorak at one point.

The Story:

Auden Adler is a fixture at fashion shows every season. Starting off as a top fashion blogger, known for his exceptional good looks, and whip smart writing style, he’s now known for being one of the most influential fashion writers in the business. Not bad for someone who was once only known as the “Most Beautiful Boy”.

Mr_Brightside_Auden_Adler_doll_

Included:

  • 12.5-inch articulated figure with rooted hair;

  • Custom knit striped sweater;

  • Distressed green jeans;

  • Brown corduroy jacket;

  • Printed tote bag;

  • "Leather" Oxford shoes;

  • Ash grey socks;

  • Gold-tone chain necklace;

  • Heart finger ring;

  • Head scarf;

  • Sunglasses;

  • Pair of regular male hands;

  • Alternate pair of grip hands;

  • Figure stand;

  • Certificate of authenticity;

Mr_Brightside_Auden_Adler_doll_

Auden was always one of the first dolls to sell out whenever Dynamite Girls dolls were unveiled. He returns here as an homage to the Warhol superstar actor Joe D’Alessandro, a very handsome guy that was part of the Warhol inner circle back in the late 60s and early 70s. He does indeed look like him in his prime, and the outfit channels early 70s hippie style transformed into modern dressing fare. For me, he was an instant reminder of a childhood comic figure, Blek Le Roc, an American hunter from the revolutionary era. I already have two gorgeous blonde Audens, so will skip this lottery. His sweater’s back is cyan (due to having an opening to facilitate his dressing). Love both the corduroy jacket (the scale is awesome) and the distressed effect on the pants.
