The second collection that was revealed in the Integrity Toys online event on Saturday was the Nu Face Essentials Wave2. That basically meant two NU. Face IT Direct dolls, which are exclusively offered right away via IT Direct Right-to-buy lotteries for the W Club members - I sincerely doubt that there will be any left for the general public. The deadline for the lottery is the 5th of October 2020, noon ET. Two dolls were added to the essential line up, with Jessy Ayala picking from the not-that-popular drawer. This time it is Karolin and Colette that shine in the spotlight. The price is hiked - from US$99 last time to US$115.00 now, without anything added to the mix. When your basic edition dolls (because, even though Carol Roth dismissed the term basic for this type of dolls, it is exactly that, even when you name them close up), surpass the US$ 100.00 mark, you are doing something wrong. Colette has a slightly larger edition size, will she be more popular?

This is easily the best looking Karolin Stone version released so far.. I still think the sculpt would have lent itself better to a black character but they keep releasing her as a blonde every single time. She does channel Daphne Groeneveld, one of Jessy’s favourite models. Even I liked this version of Karolin. Not enough to want one though.

What a gorgeous Colette. Just like Karoline, this is the best version of the new Colette sculpt released so far. I like her so much that I’m entering the lottery for her! I never got one of the Colette 1.0 dolls as, contrary to Nadja 1.0 which was the same sculpt, they looked too cartoony to me. This one is stunning. People compared her to one of the Kard*s*ian sisters (Kourtney) but to me she looks nothing like any of them. It’s probably the nude toned underwear and colouring, plus the shoe style, favoured by them.
