The 2023 W Club registration period is open!

It is the end of February and that can only mean one thing: the 2023 W Club registration is open! If you want to be a member of the W Club, make sure to register by 9 PM ET on Tuesday, March 21st. Go here if you are anxious to do so and come back to read what I think about the dolls below. You can register for as many memberships as you want and pre-order 1, 2 or all 3 of the upgrade dolls per membership for an additional fee before the deadline passes. In addition to the first-to-know information, members-only forum, online chats, priority customer service and special events, W Club members will receive the following opportunities:

2023 W Club registration open header with the three upgrade dolls - Alejandra Luna, Eugenia Perrin-Frost and Poppy Parker

1. Five additional W Club exclusive made-to-order dolls guaranteed throughout the year (W Club cannot guarantee which lines they will be from or how many from which line, but they are currently expecting that these will come from Poppy Parker, Fashion Royalty, NU. Face and/or NU. Fantasy during 2023).

2. Special pricing for most IT Direct releases that are also made available to the public. This is for most, not all of the items. There may be some items excepted, including but not limited to collaboration projects or sales outside of Integrity’s control, such as through dealers.

3. Priority access to register for the smaller, in-person event expected to take place Summer 2023. With the exception of a few spots which may be held for the public or other purposes; priority access does not guarantee every member a spot. Also access to an online event later in the 2023 membership year that is expected to be similar in scope to the 2022 online event.

More details are available in the FAQs

In addition to the above, you can also pay to upgrade each membership with one, two or all three of the upgrade dolls for 2023. These are $160 each on top of the price of the membership; a $30 non-refundable deposit per doll is due now and the rest will be due at time of shipping.

You can watch the online presentation of the registration and the unveil of the upgrade dolls here.

So this year Integrity Toys will have an in-person event again. In the presentation they mentioned it will be small and held in the Washington D.C. area sometime this summer. One of the event dolls, in a colour variation, will be available for all W Club members, attending or not. I’m guessing a 100-person luncheon with two or three dolls available to attendees. Upgrades have the same price as last year, so I am guessing the same happen for the dolls released in 2023.

It was a major surprise to almost everyone, myself included, when we discovered that all three upgrade dolls were colour variations of previously released dolls. Jessy mentioned that he wanted to revisit dolls from the past that had their moment in a particular release, and offer them in different colours. This will appear again in 2023, not as a coherent collection, but as releases spread throughout the year. While the idea is certainly appealing when the dolls are grails that are beyond what most people can now afford to buy, the whole concept looks lazy and uninspired. If, as they have done in the past, they re-interpreted older dolls in a fresh and inspiring way, I am guessing it would have gone down much better. And if this is a way for the company to save money, it could certainly have been better handled. Alejandra has been whitewashed completely here - while her previous two versions were darker, this one is FR white. I still think the original is better looking but I am happy that people who could not get her then, as she was a dealer exclusive, have their chance now. One other thing: when a character is only on its third ever release, it sucks a bit to get a repeat. They should have kept Alejandra for one of the five club exclusives and have another NU Face, like Erin, as the upgrade.

Eugenia_Perrin_Frost_Summer_Rose_upgrade_doll

Eugenia is a character we often get as an upgrade - Le Tuxedo in 2020, Modernist in 2018, plus Reigning Grace as the Cinematic convention upgrade in 2015. This one is a colour variation of a convention doll, English Rose from the 2019 Live From Fashion Week event. The OG doll was dressed in pale pastels, with dark hair (reminding me of Vivacité Eugenia) and her bag was embroidered instead of textured. The fabric of the original blouse looked like crepe and her barrette had a short tulle veil. She reminds me both of Tuxedo and Going Public (just a bit), and also of Secret Garden a bit, if she went darker. Good for those that missed one of the aforementioned dolls in the first place. I do not like the skirt print, it looks dated and not what one of the Perrins would wear going out.

The Story: When Poppy walked by the window of her favorite boutique, Lemieux, and saw her prized "Powder Puff" peignoir set in a dreamy yellow color, she just couldn't pass it up! And of course, her teddy bear, Plato Parker, had to come along, too!

Poppy_Parker_Lemon_Lullaby_upgrade_doll

Includes:

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

  • Adorable yellow peignoir set featuring a baby doll nightie with delicate ribbon and lace detailing;

  • Dramatic layered full-length sheer robe;

  • Matching satin mules with pompom accents;

  • Doll-sized teddy bear;

  • Matching stud earrings and ring with "stone" detail;

  • Ribbon headband;

  • Pair of Poppy Parker hands;

  • Alternate pair of grip hands;

  • Doll stand;

  • Certificate of authenticity.

Poppy_Parker_Lemon_Lullaby_upgrade_doll

The original Powder Puff Poppy was released as a lottery doll in the 2016 BonBon collection, which makes this the variant with the oldest connection - albeit of a quite near past. And she is actually the third colour variant, as there was a pink one as the giveaway in the 2019 Poppy Parker event, which had two colour variant Poppy dolls. Unlike the baby blue OG, the teddy bears of both later variants are white, with the latest one smiling ominously. The actual doll is the best of the three, in her dark skin tone, but she reminds me too much of both Milan Poppy and Resort Ready to entice me. Something tells me that I am going to buy less IT dolls this year, if this trend continuous - last year was the first ever that I pre-ordered only one of the five exclusives. Again, while these three are all beautiful dolls, they don’t entice me, as an older collector, to upgrade my club membership. On the other hand, I am glad that many people are getting variations of grails they cannot afford otherwise. And that can only be a good thing.

W Club 2021 registration period is open NOW and until March 8th!

It’s the W Club registration period! From today and until the 8th of March 2021, you can register for membership (one or many) of the W Club and join in! If you read the blog regularly, you already have a good idea of the variety of offerings and privileges that the Club confers to members. This year again the basic fee is $50.00, which is very good, especially considering that half of it is reimbursed as a coupon that can be applied towards any purchase from Integrity Toys from $99.00 upwards. I have been a member for over a decade now and it really is worth it even if you only collect one of the lines that Integrity Toys releases - you get the release information first, you get exclusive dolls, many made to order for the club members and lotteries only available to them. This, along with a relationship with a dealer that you must cultivate (I know it is difficult for new collectors but it is a must), will help you get the dolls you want in retail prices. And, if that does not work (we do not get the dolls we want always as the quantities are finite), there is always the W Club forum which is a great way to meet other club members, get help from more experienced collectors and find opportunities to purchase dolls from members in prices much lower than ebay).

W_Club_2021_registration_header1.png

There was, for the first time ever, a live presentation online, with Carol Roth (who owns and runs the club) and Alain Trembley from Integrity Toys (creative man extraordinaire) - you can see the reveal video here at any time.

2021_WCLUB_logo.png

Joining the W Club gives you the following perks:

  • First-to-know Information & Sneak Peeks: Find out information ahead of the general public, get sneak peeks at upcoming dolls and more.

  • 5 Guaranteed W Club Exclusive Dolls: Get guaranteed opportunities to purchase at least *5* additional exclusive W Club-only dolls during the year, including 2 Fashion Royalty/NU. Face dolls, 2 Poppy Parker dolls and 1 additional exclusive doll.

  • Members-only Forum: Get exclusive access to the W Club members-only forum to meet and chat with other collecting enthusiasts.

  • $25 Coupon: Get one $25 coupon per membership to be used towards any future purchase of $99 or more in the IT Direct Shopping Cart (Note: it can’t be used on memberships).

  • Special Offers, Right-to-buy Lotteries & Contests: Get so many other W Club perks, like special offers, discounts, priority ordering windows, opportunities to enter right-to-buy lotteries, contests with real prizes, and more.

  • Club-only Opportunities to Purchase Dolls & More: Get additional opportunities to purchase exclusive and limited dolls and more, beyond the 5 guaranteed W Club exclusive dolls and 3 upgrade dolls.

  • Online Videos and/or Events: Get special access to any W Club only online event videos, special interviews, and events from the comfort of your home.

  • Priority Convention Registration: Get a priority W Club-only registration window for the 2021 Integrity Toys Convention, ahead of the general public.

  • Private Q&A Sessions: Get access to participate in private Q&A Sessions with Integrity designers.

  • VIP Customer Service: Get special VIP email access directly to the W Club Liaisons for your collecting comments, questions and concerns.

  • And of course there are always the upgrade dolls: you can get one, two or all three of them with your membership - let’s check them out!

What a gorgeous Nadja! She brings to mind a reworked London Show and this will be one of the reasons she will be popular with collectors. Another will be the lovely Alaia Tati Collection inspired outfit and accessories. And a third will be the two bags she carries: miniatures versions of the Dior Book Tote Bag (done in the Tati print to match the outfit) and Jacquemus Le Chiquito bag - one of the most popular designer bags lately. Her face is gorgeous, reminding me a bit of Rihanna. She’ll be coming home.

Bijou_Elyse_Jolie_upgrade_doll_fashion_royalty_91525_subheader.png

Elyse is back after a hiatus that lasted all of 2020 - and as an upgrade doll, which is a first for this character, as for Nadja. The skin tone used is a first for Elyse too, she has never been released as an A-tone doll. Jessy said she is an homage to the famous supermodel Iman. She does remind me a bit of her, but her features are quite different. Previous dark skinned Elyse dolls were the second Net-A-Porter 10th Anniversary Jason Wu doll, Seduisante and Luminous, but this one has the darkest skin tone of all. The outfit has been hard to pin down regarding inspiration - many people were reminded of the Fall 2020 Oscar De La Renta collection but there is no dress there that matches Elyse’s. The accessories are beautiful - the bag is like the one Legendary Status Agnes has. I am on the fence about this one, but will probably cave in.

Pink_Lemonade_Poppy_Parker_upgrade_doll_77209_subheader.png

This Poppy, apart from being an upgrade doll, is the first to be released from this year’s Palm Springs Poppy collection. She has the same screening as the Heads Up yellow haired Poppy from the 2019 convention Style Lab. She is the second Poppy with pink hair, after Ciao! Poppy, but this one has a lighter shade of pink. Many people commented that they did not have pastel coloured hair in the sixties - which is completely wrong! You can check some examples here, here and here - or just google it! She gives me Kim Novak vibes - but in an innocent, fluffy way, in contrast with the dark, ominous style of the famous actress. Even though I am still thinking about getting her or not, I most probably will.

Below you can find answers to some of the W Club’s most frequently asked questions.

How do I become part of the W Club?

From now until March 8th, 2021 you can qualify for the 2021 W Club by submitting a registration form and completing your payment. You can start your registration by clicking the “Agree/Join” button at the top or bottom of this page. No registrations will be accepted after March 8th, 2021 at 5 PM Eastern time (New York time). No exceptions.

For how long is my 2021 W Club membership valid?

Memberships are valid until the latter of January 1, 2022 or when the 2022 W Club membership registration period begins.

As a member, will I be guaranteed every exclusive item from the W Club?

Every member in good standing will be guaranteed the right to purchase at least 5 exclusive dolls, which will be offered at various times throughout the Club year, including the 2 Fashion Royalty / NU. Face exclusive dolls, 2 exclusive Poppy Parker dolls, and 1 additional exclusive doll during 2021.

Members that added upgrade dolls during registration are guaranteed those upgrade doll(s), as well. There will be other limited items which will be available by lottery or first-come, first-served opportunities. Please note that membership in the W Club does not guarantee access to Integrity Toys’ non-Club exclusive dolls and accessories. None of the dolls available through the Integrity Toys’ authorized dealers can be purchased through the W Club and are not W Club exclusive items.

How many 2021 Club memberships can I purchase?

The club is not restricting the number of memberships by collector or household. However, memberships are non-transferable and cannot be shared.

I live outside of the US. May I still become a member?

Absolutely! Membership is available to residents of all countries worldwide. Please note that all news releases and information will be released in English only.

I would like the W Club information sent to me via regular mail; can the club do that?

This is an online only Club and all members must have access to a valid email address.

What forms of payment does the club accept?

All payments are processed through Integrity Toys’ online shopping cart system. They accept Credit Cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover). They also accept PayPal. If you don’t have a PayPal account or a credit card, you might want to get a prepaid credit card, as it makes it easier for you to take advantage of their many offers.

Can you tell me more about the purchasing of exclusive W Club dolls?

2021 W Club members are guaranteed the right to purchase the exclusive W Club doll(s) from 2021 only (these dolls are separate from and in addition to the 3 upgrade dolls that you can purchase at registration). The number of W Club exclusive doll(s) produced is based on the number of pre-orders paid. If you do not pre-order the W Club exclusive doll(s) by the designated cut-off date (there is usually about a week-long ordering window), you forfeit your right to purchase that Club doll through the W Club. Also, Club doll(s) from previous years are NOT available to 2021 members- Club dolls are only available during that specific membership year.

Can you explain more about the W Club coupon?

Each W Club membership that you purchase will automatically add a special $25 coupon to your IT Direct Coupon Wallet that can be used towards ANY IT Direct shopping cart purchase of $99 or more online only during the 2021 W Club year! As long as your order is above $99 before shipping and tax, you can apply your coupon towards any order of your choice! Note that only a one coupon limit per order will be allowed.

Important exclusion: Coupons cannot be used to purchase additional memberships or gift certificates.

When will I be able to log into the W Club forum?

Once your membership has been processed, you will be emailed the “Welcome to the 2021 W Club” notice. This notice includes information on how to register and be approved for the members-only forum, contact emails, email information and more. Due to the number of registrations that they expect to be receiving at this time, it can take up to a week or more for the welcome email to be sent out and the club appreciates your patience until you are sent the notice.

For answers to any additional questions, please contact the W Club Liaisons at:

wclub@integritytoys.com

Please click below to begin your registration process.

Ready? Join The Club!

NOTICE: The W Club Is Now In Transition

Until registration is finished, the club is in transition, so they will be sending updates to both 2020 members and new members. You may therefore receive emails twice.

But, even if you don't re-register, the club will keep you posted on any 2020 W Club exclusive dolls that you have pre-ordered when they arrive in 2021.

For the forum, your registration remains active until the 2021 membership registration period ends. They may also be cleaning up old threads and deleting old topics, etc., to freshen the forums for next year.

Anyone not re-registering will be removed from the forum immediately following the 2021 registration deadline.

It is possible that if the club system does not recognize your email, user name, etc., you may be accidentally deleted during their forum cleanup. If this is the case, just email the liaisons and they will get you reinstated ASAP.

Integrity Toys Legendary 2020 Convention day 1: Welcome doll and W Club Upgrade dolls

It’s that time of the year again - Integrity Toys convention has begun! And this year it is the 25th anniversary of the company, so the convention is special. Also it is the first ever virtual one because of the pandemic. This of course has given the chance to more people to participate in it, even if they do not have the actual main convention ticket. Anyone who has the W Club event or the Upgrade package can attend all events (save the afterparty on the last day) . I’m happy to say that I am one of the people attending, even though I do not have the main convention ticket, so this year I have an inside view of everything unfolding, to the extend that time difference allows.

Integrity_Toys_2020_Legendary_convention_main_header.png

The platform of the online event opened for everyone at 10.00 EST - which was 17.00 for me, so quite convenient. The interface was similar to most platforms for online exhibitions and events currently available on the market (I know because it’s the sector I work in) so it felt familiar and easy to navigate right off the bat. I hope it is like this for everyone! The first event we could all attend was a welcome chat with the Percy family, which was an easy way of saying hello to everyone and ask lots of questions about everything convention related. After about an hour (and overcoming some technical glitches that caused a small delay), we were able to watch the first presentation in the convention auditorium: Alain and Carol welcomed us via video (pre-filmed): they talked about the event and the various technical stuff and how people could make their shopping afterwards. Then we were able to see the upgrade dolls unveiled, so let’s start with the amazing duo of Veronique Perrin and Adele Makeda, who were the original Fashion Royalty debut dolls back in the day,

I’m so happy I preordered the upgrade dolls as they are AMAZING! Look at her face! Her hairstyle! Her dress! The face reminds me a lot of Glamazon. Love her. Love the polka dot detail. And did you notice that she has a bag? Yeap, in this convention, dolls come with bags. Read about the dress inspiration here.

Veronique is gorgeous as well - her platinum hair, blue eyes and perfect make up match her black outfit to a T. She’s the ideal counterpart to Adele, yin and yang. They make an awesome set of dolls. Alain said they have quite a long waiting list for them and that was just from the sketches.

After the presentation of the two upgrade dolls, we saw another pre-recorded segment of Alain interviewing Percy Newsome, the Integrity Toys founder and CEO. He talked about the creation of the company and how it operates, while sharing funny memories with Alain. Then it was time to present,,, a gift, so they showed us a doll-sized IT T-shirt, like the ones you could buy for yourself from their shop. But then, they said that we need a doll to wear it and out came the welcome doll, which is Janay!

David Buttry was inspired by Carrie Bradshaw for the outfit (Carry On, right?) and of course Janay is the doll that started it all for Integrity Toys. It is fitting that she gets to be the welcome doll on the 25th anniversary of the company. She was not in any of the emails sent so far by the company, so here are more photos from their Instagram account.

The upgrade dolls for the LEGENDARY Integrity Toys 2020 convention have been revealed and look fab - as sketches at least

As you might have read or heard by now, this year’s Integrity Toys convention, named LEGENDARY, will be held online only, due to the pandemic. There was a huge kerfuffle with registering for it, as the website crashed under the onslaught of potential attendees and the whole situation was sorted out during the following week. An online convention certainly gives more people the chance to attend, as it is easier for people outside the US, so the amount of people trying to grab hold of a ticket must have been overwhelming (I tried and did not make it, reaching only the pay now button stage). But, W Club members have the opportunity to attend anyway, as they can register for the two (instead of the usual one) upgrade dolls available for the convention, plus they can register for the online W Club event as well, thus gaining access to the online events of the convention too. Sketches of the two dolls have been released and they look elegant, chic and very promising.

I love everything about this doll! Elegant and very Parisian haute couture - a proper lady who lunches. Both dresses reference the Petite Robe dresses from 2004 - this is from the La Petite Robe Blanche outfit available at the MFD FR 2004 convention (see above).

2004 91033 Fashion La Petite Robe Noire.jpg

This one is of course based on La Petite Robe Noire outfit from 2004, which is still quite sought after by collectors as the dress comes with four different pairs of shoes, four bags plus the scarf and glasses, making it more versatile. I just wish they had used the original Veronique sculpt as it is the 25th IT anniversary convention and it would make a fitting tribute.

This Eugenia is a remake of Going Public Eugenia, which, despite her large edition number, has become a holy grail doll for many collectors. If you see them side be side, the similarity is uncanny. The biggest difference is in their brows.

B8BBB434-379E-4B5F-ADE4-6451B85EEED2.jpeg

Her outfit is gorgeous. From her organza shirt to her tuxedo pants to her peplum corset, it looks brilliant. Her accessories are beautiful, but the hat maybe is a stretch. It makes her look like an usher. Am I getting her? You bet!

Item # 82120B  
Mademoiselle Lilith  
Lilith Blair™ Dressed Doll
The NU. Face™ Collection
2020 W Club Upgrade

IMG_3152.png

Everyone was waiting for the rococo version of Lilith, to match her sister Eden that was offered to W Club members last year, many speculating that she would be offered as an upgrade doll to entice people to join the club again this year. And they were right. Unfortunately she is no match for her sister. She looks more plain both doll and dress, and while the accessories are nice, they can’t save the day. So it’s a no from me.

Beautiful Poppy? Check. Interesting outfit? Check. Seen before accessories? Double check. She has the Coney Island screening, but with lashes, so she looks more like Ciao! Poppy. I’m on the fence with this one,

I’m posting the FAQ section from the registration page below, to help you find out everything you need to know about the W Club registration. I’m joining again this year, are you?

How do I become part of the W Club?
From now until February 28th, 2020, you can qualify for the 2020 W Club by submitting a registration form and completing your payment. You can start your registration by clicking the “Agree/Join” button at the bottom of this page. 

No registrations will be accepted after February 28th, 2020 at 9 PM Eastern time (New
York time). No exceptions.

For how long is my 2020 W Club membership valid?
Memberships are valid until the latter of January 1, 2021 or when the 2021 W Club membership registration period begins.

As a member, will I be guaranteed every exclusive item from the W Club?
Every member in good standing will be guaranteed the right to purchase at least 5 exclusive dolls, which will be offered at various times throughout the Club year, including the 2 Fashion Royalty exclusive dolls (which may include NU. Face), 2 exclusive Poppy Parker dolls, and 1 additional exclusive doll during 2020.

Members that added upgrade dolls during registration are guaranteed those upgrade doll(s), as well. There will be other limited items which will be available by lottery or first-come, first served opportunities. Please note that membership in the W Club does not guarantee access to
Integrity Toys’ non-Club exclusive dolls and accessories. None of the dolls available through the Integrity Toys’ authorized dealers can be purchased through the W Club and are not W Club exclusive items.

How many 2020 Club memberships can I purchase?
We are not restricting the number of memberships by collector or household. However, memberships are non-transferable and cannot be shared.

I live outside of the US. May I still become a member?
Absolutely! Membership is available to residents of all countries worldwide. Please note that all news releases and information will be released in English only.

I would like the W Club information sent to me via regular mail; can you do that?
This is an online only Club and all members must have access to a valid email address.

What forms of payment do you accept?
All payments are processed through Integrity Toys’ online shopping cart system. We accept Credit Cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover). We also accept PayPal. If you don’t have a PayPal account or a credit card, we suggest that you get a prepaid credit card, as it makes it easier for you to take advantage of our many offers!

Can you tell me more about the purchasing of exclusive W Club dolls?
2020 W Club members are guaranteed the right to purchase the exclusive W Club doll(s) from 2020 only (these dolls are separate from and in addition to the 3 upgrade dolls that you can purchase at registration). The number of W Club exclusive doll(s) produced is based on the number of pre-orders paid. If you do not pre-order the W Club exclusive doll(s) by the designated cut-off date (there is usually about a week-long ordering window), you forfeit your right to purchase that Club doll through the W Club. Also, Club doll(s) from previous years are NOT available to 2020 members- Club dolls are only available during that specific membership year.

Can you explain more about the W Club coupon?
Each W Club membership that you purchase will automatically add a special $25 coupon to your IT Direct Coupon Wallet that can be used towards ANY IT Direct shopping cart purchase of $99 or more online only during the 2020 W Club year! As long as your order is above $99 before shipping and tax, you can apply your coupon towards any order of your choice! Full details and instructions for the $25 coupon will be sent to 2020 W Club Members at a later date, including that a one coupon limit will be allowed per order.

Important exclusion: Coupons cannot be used to purchase additional memberships.

When will I be able to log into the W Club forum?
Once your membership has been processed, you will be emailed the “Welcome to the 2020
W Club” notice. This notice includes information on how to register and be approved for the members-only forum, contact emails, email information and more. Due to the number of registrations that we expect to be receiving at this time, it can take up to a week or more for the welcome email to be sent out and we appreciate your patience until you are sent the notice.

For answers to any additional questions, please contact the W Club Liaisons at:
wclub@integritytoys.com
