Integrity Toy’s “The Industry” 2017 Revealed
Integrity Toy’s made their first collection reveal to the newly minted 2017 WClub the other day and all I can say is Wow! it’s a doozy! As Dolce and Gabbana and many other designers are going to the so called millennials for inspiration and a new ad campaigns, David Buttry appears to be pulling from the same pool…at least with the fashions and accessories.
Millennials = consisting of individuals born between 1982 and 2004.
There have been a lot of positives and negatives written about Millennials. I will stick with the positive. It has been noted that they grew up in an electronics-filled and increasingly online and socially-networked world. This helps to explain some of the many new and fabulous accessories that come with this collection. Hope you enjoy.
Keep in mind that these offerings are available through Integrity Toys dealers and were announced to the WClub a few days a go. If you want any of these …run don’t walk to try and get these. Some may be sold out already.

Talk about updated hair! This one is an early favorite for many collectors. She comes with sandals and boots and while I love the accessories, I am not loving the dress on this one. It seems way too dowdy for this doll. She needs edgy and hip in my opinion not docile little school girl. The doll though with half flocked and half pink tresses…fabulousness! **note** This doll is articulated at the ankle. The other dolls are not.

These accessories!!! A MUST have. As to the question…”Will Rebecca buy a doll just for the accessories?”. Well…yes she will. I do also like the look of this doll but he is very similar to the Ace McFly doll they produced a couple of conventions ago. I’m still getting him though as the girls and guys in my collection need their makeup artist .
David Buttry and his team did an amazing job with this first full scale ‘The Industry” collection. The accessories alone make this capsule collection worth a look-see. My only complaint is that…there is a WHOLE lot of black going on here. It would be nice to see more color coming in. And also on the subject of black, there was also an absence of it…as in skin tone. I would have liked to have seen an AA model in this lineup. There are, however, a whole lot of mix and match pieces that will be fun to pair with other outfits in my collection and I look forward to being the mini stylist with those and sharing on the blog. I can definitely see my Out of Sight Nadja in many of these outfits.
Again…these dolls are available through Integrity Toys dealers only. Feel free to click on the link to find them.
