Integrity Toys presented a huge variety of dolls in their online event yesterday. The sheer amount of dolls, the many new faces (either new molds or re-use of old ones) is staggering, especially during an economical downturn such as this. I hope they know what they are doing and not spreading themselves too thin.
First in my presentation are the Dynamite Girls, which now also have boys in the collection! The line was separated into two dinstict collections, the basic looking Checkmates and the more dressed up (and more expensive) Plastic Inevitable collection.
So below you can see the whole line up of the checkmates collection - the three Dynamite girls and one of the boys! As the story goes, the Dynamite Girls are hitting the beaches on the upper east coast this summer for a much needed vacation from the hustle and bustle of the fashion world in New York. Alongside Jett, Sooki and Aria is a new guy in town, Kyu, a Korean Pop singer.

This was the Checkmates. From what I can see the new Korean boy is a re-incarnation of Takeo, looking very much like his In the Mix version so the only doll I would have ordered from here is out (limited budget). I do not know if he is the same sculpt but they look so much alike that I will wait for another version to get one.
The Plastic Inevitable looks like a more gorwn up version of Dynamite Girls, very much looking like Nu Face dolls, apart from their face paint which is still too much childish for my taste - their outfits though are trendier, edging to hipster, only natural since the collection is inspired by New York's bustling art and counter-culture scene of the late 1960s and early 1980s. Two new guys join the Dynamite Girls in this collection. Auden is an in-demand hair and makeup artist and Remi is becoming a top fashion photographer in the industry.

From this line I love Auden (who would not?) and will try to get him. Other than that there is not much interest to me as their dressing is not my style, I always prefer more grown up styles and fashion, plus the cartoon-y faces are too far from my aesthetic in dolls. The military jacket and lace top on Aria though look great. I promised to some W-Cub members who missed listening to me in this year's webinar that I will be making podcasts for the new lines, so they will be going up at the blog soon, with more comments for the dolls.
