Stay Tuned Day 3: Double feature means a Monarch meets a Meteor

The third day of “Stay Tuned”, the online event replacing the Integrity Toys convention for 2022, had two dolls inspired by two 90s TV sitcoms: Family Matters (hence their TGIT Comedy hour Thank Goodness it's IT reference, from ABC’s Thank God It’s Friday sitcom block including FM), and Fresh Prince of Bel Air. The uniting thread, apart from the era, is IT designer Vaughn Sawyers, as we get a Monarch and a Meteor doll. And while we would probably have gotten a stronger duo if Integrity picked only one of the two series (Fresh Prince of Bel Air alone could have given a whole collection worth of dolls), we get this rather weird couple of dolls, a whisper instead of a bang.

The inspiration for the two dolls per Integrity Toys:

First, we meet Tobias Alsford in the role of a nerdy-yet-sexy fashion intern coming of age as he tries to shake off the last remnants of his geeky high-school years and grows into his more mature looks while doing his very best to navigate the awkward circumstances that landed him in an internship at one of New York's top fashion magazines.

Then, we switch gears to meet Keeki Adaeze, who stars as a sweet, introverted teen (yes, in the 90s, adults played teens!), affectionately nicknamed "Princess" by her ultra-wealthy Hollywood family. Desperately wanting to help her come out of her shell, our star is sent across the country to move in with her hip, flamboyant Aunt who works in the 90s hip-hop music scene. Follow her fish-out-of-water adventures as she tries to fit in!

The Story:

In this classic comedy of errors, Tobias Alsford is absolutely perfect as an awkward 20-something lad who landed "the" dream internship he never thought he'd get at a top fashion magazine. He constantly finds himself in hilarious, yet bizarre situations, having to figure novel ways out of his crazy schemes in order to keep his job, all while working hard to become the "player" he's always not-so-secretly wanted to become behind those conservative clothes and glasses!

Tobias is one of my favourite sculpts, so it is always nice to see him appear in a collection. I am not so crazy about his look here though. Trying to emulate both the original Steve Urkel and his more glamorous alter ego Stefan Urquelle, Tobias has the outfit of the former and the looks of the latter. But for me, to be convinced to pay the already high price of a Monarch means a more sophisticated and complete outfit. That would mean, in this case, a second pair of pants for the more sophisticated look, plus a bag. I love the suspenders! Also, his beard looks more like it belongs to a Lego or Playmobil figure than a fashion doll.

Bel_Air_Princess_Keeki_Adaeze_doll

I mentioned earlier that Fresh Prince of Bel Air as a series could be the inspiration for an entire doll collection. Cousin Hilary alone could provide an entire collection with her numerous outfits! But here we have a different proposition: Fresh Prince reincarnated as a princess - what if we had a woman from Philly coming to live in L.A.? I am not sure that would have been the result though. The doll has too much hair and without a distinct style. Hilary would never. Will would never, what with his always sharp hi-top fade. Her lips are weird. I get the lip liner effort but here it looks ugly. It does not help that the prototype doll pictured has eyelashes only on one eye. The outfit tries to be an urban version of a school uniform. While I like the shirt, boots and bag, the rest of it could have been reworked. That skirt looks thrown on and the tights waist showing over it is bad. Would have been much better to just make a copy of the infamous Miu Miu mini skirt - not Bel Air related but better suited to this. For both dolls, it would have looked so much better and less awkward if the inspiration was more Thom Browne than Steve Urkel. For me that is the designer to go if you need flood pants or school uniform chic.

The end of Dolly Days 2021 brought a variety of offerings: a Monarch, a Meteor and lots of hair

Dolly-Days Day 5 was the last day of the “unofficial” event of Integrity Toys (delayed this time from December to January). A day with offerings by designer Vaughn Sawyers that included a guy from the Monarchs Homme line plus a lady from the Meteor line, along with some accessories. They are all made-to-order* (up to one of each style per membership) for W Club members. They are extra from the five 2021 W Club exclusive dolls, so this means we are still waiting for our fifth club exclusive (either a NU Face or a Fashion Royalty doll).

Romain makes an appearance in Dolly Days - it’s been a while since we last saw a Monarch (was it the twins?) and he certainly looks a bit downtrodden for a much vaunted financier. He’s not even wearing Off White or Louis Vuitton. He’s too plain dressed to pass off as a Monarch and at that price range - Club Lukas was $5.00 more expensive but was wearing tailored clothes (two sets of them) plus more extravagant shoes and bag. I’m not convinced I should pay so much for a sorry pair of jeans and a hoodie.

Sound_Individual_Romain_Perrin_doll accessories

The coat alone is not making the cut - Integrity has released much better overcoats (Bellamy Blue anyone?). A couple of records and a pair of headphones don’t sugarcoat this bitter pill I’m afraid. This could have looked so much better if the coat was in a different colour (silver or white?) with more groovy pants (degrade jeans? how soccer mom), a trendy pair of trainers, the hoodie with a nice print at the back and a logo-ed t-shirt. When you brand a guy doll (enough with this figure nonsense, it’s 2022) a Monarch, he should have to show more (he does not even have the Monarch body) to justify the name and the price tag. Just sayin’.

My_Fair_Hair_Zuri_Okoty_doll

I love Zuri Okoty and this incarnation could very well be her best so far. And yes. the tooth gap has returned and I can finally own her with it! Plus the cropped. almost white hair is a favourite style to see on a black doll (Kith Barbie I am looking at you) and this looks so good. Hair face is gorgeous and the idea with the wig is very welcome - I don’t think we have seen Integrity doing wigs since the first Monogram collection and, further back, the Modern Pompadour line. That Fashion Royalty line was the one that made me fall in love with these dolls and it featured four ladies with wigs as basic dolls (each wearing corseted lingerie). Belle Du Soir Kyori was my first IT doll ever. And I have all dolls from that collection except basic Vero. So I am very excited to see wigs coming back.

My_Fair_Hair_Zuri_Okoty_doll accessories and wig

The only problem with this doll is where the inspiration from the dress is coming from. it is almost an exact copy of a Dolce & Gabbana outfit from 2018. The problem is, this designer duo are known to be racist (the major China incident almost cost them their fortune), homophobes (even though they are gay, they oppose gay marriage and gay parenthood). Not to mention their tax dodging scandals. I’d appreciate it if Integrity Toys did a bit of research before copying such people. Your company name is Integrity after all. And I am certain that there are so many other designers out there to be inspired from.

Good Hair Wig Pack

Edition Size: TBD

Expected Ship Date: Late Summer 2022

Retail Price: $75.00

(Only $15.00 Due Now to Pre-order!)

Designed to Fit Meteor Dolls

*WIG PACK ONLY INCLUDES 3 WIGS LISTED BELOW; OTHER WIG PACK AND DOLL SOLD SEPARATELY.

Meteor_doll_wig red

Included:

One pixie length vibrant red wig;

One waist-length brunette curly wig;

One thigh-length blond micro-braided wig.

The first wig pack that comes today has three different styles: a short red one (that’s not a pixie cut though, pixie is a much shorter style, like Audrey Hepburn for example, or Jean Seaberg, or Twiggy), a micro braid one and a long curly one. I have a short black wig from Monique’s that’s styled exactly like the red one.

Meteor_doll_wig_curly

I also have an afro wig from my Urban Antoinette Adele Makeda, which I like better than those unruly curls, so I am not getting the pack just for the micro braid one - which looks to be two-toned. The red one on Zuri reminded me of Mary J. Blige. I noticed that while on the specifications they write that the wigs fit Meteor dolls, in the “storyline” for each set they mention that the wigs are designed to fir most 12” dolls. Go figure.

*WIG PACK ONLY INCLUDES 3 WIGS LISTED BELOW; OTHER WIG PACK AND DOLL SOLD SEPARATELY.

Metero doll wig long bob blue ombre hair

Included:

One shoulder-length aqua wig with ombré shading at the middle part;

One waist-length two-toned (brown with black underneath) wig with bangs;

One buttocks-length sable wavy wig.

Meteor doll wig brown with bangs

The brown wig with the bangs looks a lot like the wig of my Belle Du Soir Kyori Sato, so that’s one I already have. The sable one does not look very well styled, so that leaves only the aqua blue one - not getting the pack for just one wig. I don’t know why but Zuri in the photo with the aqua wig reminds me of Khandi Alexander.

The Meteor club has a Roaring 20s remix moment

Last week w club members received an email about the unveiling of new dolls - and this past weekend we indeed had it - albeit without a live presentation. A new Meteor collection was revealed, with three dolls, two of them sold by dealers and one that will be available through lottery for the right to buy. This time the inspiration is the “decadent” 20s, with the clothes and styling inspired by that glamorous decade. Having already had a previous Meteor collection done with a retro inspiration again (the 70s, which I must remind you, were very much influenced by the 20s in fashion, at least in the first half of the decade), it is a bit jarring to still cling to the past for inspiration, especially when the first Meteor collection proved that contemporary fashion is its strong point (and Vaughn’s best). With the fashion buzz around emerging black designers stronger than ever, and their fashions making waves across the media, social or not, it is a pity that we do not get current trends but instead rehashes of past decades, no matter if they’re beautiful or not. Please give us some inspirations from Peter Do, Christopher John Rogers and Pyer Moss, with some Zerina Akers styling next time.

I still don’t like Navia’s sculpt. Her face has a weird shape with a very large and angular bottom part that does not click with me. She does fit the era with this hairstyle and make up pretty well and is definitely an improvement on herfirst appearance, but I still can’t bring myself to buy her. Her dress is gorgeous though. If I can find it separately, I might get it. The veil over the hat looks weird in the photo worn by the doll, but the rest of the accessories are awesome. Should have come with a small jewelled bag though.

Easily the best doll of the collection, Zuri once again steals the spot. She reminds me so much of the Dior Haute Couture 1997 collection, both dress and doll styling, that I could not resist in the end and pre-ordered her. I love Zuri anyway and especially when she’s painted with her tooth gap, so she’s a winner overall. Her hair colour with the afro that is styled at the front like 20s “vagues” (french for waves) is really impressive.

Amirah looks better than ever here but the hair colour is a major deal breaker for me. It gives her a cartoon-y vibe, but it is not a Cruella one, unfortunately. She would have looked so much better in the dark colour alone. The dress gives me a cheap vibe, despite the embroidered look - it is probably the chains at the front. If she had a huge chain necklace instead, it might have looked better. Or if the dress used the fabric that Montaigne Market Elyse did. And what’s with the crowns? This one looks more fit for a Russian royal from the pre-revolution era than a 20s flapper. Gorgeous bag, shoes and jewellery though.

That was quick - Integrity Toys new basic dolls available Monday, February 8th

After last week’s reveal of the basic Victoire dolls and the plan of Integrity Toys to offer basic edition dolls in open edition sizes (when they "sell-out", more will be produced and then made available for sale again in the IT shopping cart), we now get two more dolls! From the Meteor line, designed by Vaughn Sawyers, we get two variations of Keeki. It looks like IT will be releasing one character from each line as a basic doll in two colour variations, and probably add more characters later on, depending on the project’s success. Looks good to me.

A blonde version of the same basic Keeki doll - the hair looks a bit disheveled here, compared to the first one. She’s lovely still. Are you getting any of these? Let me know in the comments.

IMPORTANT NOTE

Remember, once the first run "sells out", more will be manufactured. Once Integrity Toys runs out of the first batch, more will be added to the shopping cart at a later date. So, if you miss out on this first shipment, no worries, you will be able to place an order in the future, as more stock of the same dolls will be replenished whenever they will become available.

Integrity Toys Mini Capsule Collections 2020 reveal pt..3: Meteor - Le Chic

The third mini capsule collection revealed in Saturday’s Integrity Toys event was Meteor. Vaughn presented two gorgeous dolls - one is a new character and one was Zuri in a smashing new look. Both are available for dealers, but with the limited editions, they might sell out quickly. I’m betting this would have given us even more gorgeous dolls had Vaughn been able to make a full collection with all the line’s characters. The 70s inspiration is a great fit both to the designer’s talent and the line and it shows.

I am willing to bet that Navia’s sculpt is a failed Colette 2.0 attempt used as a new character - they are practically twins. Not loving the head shape or the print. The glasses are cute but she is missing a bag. I’m puzzled by the use of FR body instead of Nu Face, which would fit the character much better IMHO. She might be coming out but she’s definitely not coming home. The dress is almost an exact copy (boots and all) of the opening number from Fausto Puglisi’s Fall 2019 RTW collection - the print was inspired by an Ottoman carpet he picked up at Istanbul’s Grand Bazaar, as Puglisi said back then.

This is Donna Summer in doll form! When asked, Vaughn said he got inspiration for other 70s singers too (the Every Woman title surely refers to the Chaka Khan song I’m Every Woman) but she looks so much like Donna with that make up and hairstyle and the open mouth, it’s uncanny. I’m happy I got confirmed for her, she’s Hot Stuff! There is a confusion about her outfit: during the presentation, Vaugh said it is one piece, but the description from IT says blouse and palazzo pants. Will update with more info when available.
