Fit To Print
Nadja Rhymes™ Dressed Doll
The NU. Face® Collection
2021 W Club Upgrade
*$140; (This doll will have a $25 non-refundable deposit due immediately, with a $115 + shipping/handling/taxes balance due at shipping time, approximately in Summer 2021).
Edition Size: TBD
Head Sculpt: Nadja 2.0
Body Type: NF 3.0
Foot Sculpt: High-heeled
Skin Tone: Hungarian
Hair Color: Cinnamon
Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied
Quickswitch: No
Bring on the houndstooth I say!! I love that Jessy did this in pale lavender too. It’s glorious with Nadja’s cinnamon hair and a first for IT in using this hair color with this facemold. The larger purse is inspired by Dior’s book tote
And small bag is inspired by JACQUEMUS “ Le Chiquito” bag
The outfit is another IT homage to Alaïa with an update to the jacket…fabulous translation!!
A definite must for any NuFace collector. This one is going in my cart for sure!!
Bijou
Elyse Jolie™ Dressed Doll
The Fashion Royalty® Collection
2021 W Club Upgrade Doll
*$140; (This doll will have a $25 non-refundable deposit due immediately, with a $115 + shipping/handling/taxes balance due at shipping time, approximately in Summer 2021).
Edition Size: TBD
Head Sculpt: Elyse
Body Type: FR 6.0
Foot Sculpt: High-heeled
Skin Tone: A-Tone
Hair Color: Deep Sable
Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied
Quickswitch: No
Ok..let’s start with the positives. I adore this Elsye face mold in A-tone skin color and sleek sophisticated updo with purple eye shadow. I adore the chunky gold accessories and emerald clasp bag. The shoes are ok. The dress…ummmm….urrrr….I got nothin’ . This is a rare miss for the super talented Jessy Ayala. I don’t get the gown at all. Maybe it just couldn’t translate in this scale well? If it were a two piece thing I could live with it and figure I would just use the top with a different skirt. Regrettably…it’s all one piece so the entire outfit is out for me. I have absolutely no idea where even to start to look for inspiration on this gown …and to be honest….no real desire to. Sorry Jessy. Love the doll, not the dress. Will buy just for the doll so it’s still a win for IT.
Pink Lemonade
Poppy Parker® Dressed Doll
Poppy Parker® in Palm Springs Collection
2021 W Club Upgrade Doll
$140; (This doll will have a $25 non-refundable deposit due immediately, with a $115 + shipping/handling/taxes balance due at shipping time, approximately in Summer 2021).
Edition Size: TBD
Head Sculpt: Poppy Parker
Body Type: PP 1.5
Foot Sculpt: High-heeled
Skin Tone: Japan
Hair Color: Pink
Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied
Quickswitch: No
You had me at the pink hair David…you had me at the pink hair. Ohhhh my! Poppy is in Palm Springs this year according to designer David Buttry and she is fabulous in lemon and pink for this first design of the season. I adore the hair but the dress design is a close second. The blue eyes and berry kissed lips are giving me life here..the whole thing is just
Yep…she is definitely going in my shopping cart…no question.
So There you have it. Three fabulous upgrade dolls and a whole lot of perks for the base membership. Frankly, this membership is worth it for the chance to go to the convention alone. For those who like to attend, you need to be a WClub member because the convention sells out every year with just WClub members. The upgrade dolls are extra above and beyond the $50. It has been amazing to see this club grow each and every year. Love it.

Wow! Lilith come home to Mama!! She will be the first one in my cart. I adore the other 2 actually so this will be a full meal deal for me this year. I wish Lilith had a different color variant of hair. Would have been kind of cool to have a darker turquoise or something but as it stands, the photos make it appear that Lilith has a slightly darker and bluer lavender than Eden. It could just be lighting in the photos but will only be able to tell in hand. Also, Lilith’s outfit isn’t a “WoW” like Eden’s was but…I figure the pieces will complement Eden’s nicely. I am seriously loving the pink shoes and jewelry!! Thank you Jessy!
Is it just me or is someone else humming boogie woogie bugle boy when looking at Eugenia? Love the military vibe going on there. I also like the adorable school girl look going on with this brown haired, scarlet lipped Poppy. That hat we have seen a gazillion times but the adorable crimson backpack, knee socks and sporty black fingerless gloves brought this Poppy to my shopping cart.
For those of you out there that read this blog and are not currently enrolled in the WClub ( why not?!!)…and you have an interest in joining, here is what you need to know.

Bringing the Versace
Integrity Toys spoiled it’s WClub members with a gift set that was Versace inspired in late 2019. Club members just received this gift set and I would say we are very happy. Thank you Jessy Ayala for this stunning design!
Ocean Drive
Baroness Agnes Von Weiss™
Dressed Doll Mini Gift Set
The Fashion Royalty® Collection
2019 W Club Exclusive
Head Sculpt: Agnes
Foot Sculpt: High heel
Skin Tone: FR Black

The inspiration is clearly Versace’s 2018 Spring RTW tribute collection to Gianni Versace.
The accessories with the gift set are truly amazing!
Very mermaid like
And because this is Versace inspired…I felt Agnes need to be in an ad campaign for them.
The glasses and the silk scarf were made by me. If interested, contact me.

Well Hello Miss Ginger!!
The WClub just announced it’s 5th and final club doll for the year and it was an amazing way to end Poppy Parker’s 10th anniversary year. David Buttry finally released his much anticipated friend ( or is it frenemy) Ginger Gilroy. He did it in the best way possible…giftsetted with a Poppy.
Friend or Foe
Poppy Parker™ and Ginger Gilroy™ Gift Set
The Poppy Parker™ Collection
2019 W Club Exclusive
Estimated Arrival: End of April 2020
Price: $199 + S & H
Edition Size: TBA
Head Sculpt: Poppy and Ginger (new character sculpt!)
Body Type: Poppy Parker
Skin Tone: FR White (Poppy) and Cream (Ginger)
Hair Color: Dark Ash Blonde (Poppy) and Titian Red (Ginger)
Foot type: High heeled
Eyelashes: Yes, hand-applied
Quickswitch: No
Miss Gilroy is scrumptious!!! A fitting frenemy to our beloved Poppy. I can’t wait to see what David comes up with for her. I adore the colors and fashions he chose! While I have never been a huge fan of a bubble dress or gown, I adore the light blue confection that Ginger has. The beautiful lavender that adorns Poppy will be welcome when they arrive in the spring of 2020.
Yummy!!!
I adore the lavishness of the accessories too. I like that we now have 2 pairs of white hands and long gloves that we can mix and match with our other Poppy’s. I also appreciated that David gave us two different kinds of wraps…one satin and one fur. Made for a nice change. I am loving the spring pastels as well. This was indeed a fitting way to end out Poppy’s 10th anniversary year. Well done Mr.Buttry!!
If you are not a WClub member(why not?!), you will not have direct access to this gift set. It’s a WClub exclusive. You will need to wait and watch on Ebay next spring. And if you are not a WClub member…you might want to consider membership which will come up again in February of 2020. Watch the blog for details.

Mademoiselle Eden Wows the Crowd
Integrity Toys’ WClub released information on their 4th out of 5 club dolls and the general consensus is WOW! It’s a good wow not a bad one…at least in my view. I know that many collectors don’t go for different colored hair. I know that for the most part, I don’t either. That being said, I am crazy for this lady. The talented Jessy Ayala has given us a Rococo inspired pastel infused piece of pure femininity. Jessy chose the perfect model for his creation in the sweeter than sweet Eden ( a personal fav). She will be a perfect sister to the epic crowd pleaser Public Adoration Eden which was given as a gift to convention attendees at the WClub luncheon in 2018. Click on the picture to get more info from Integrity Toys website.
Here is how Integrity Toys and the WClub answered calls for another doll like the popular one above.
Mademoiselle Eden
Eden Blair™ Dressed Doll
The NU. Face Collection
2019 W Club Exclusive
Estimated Arrival: Spring 2020
Price: $145 + S & H
Edition Size: TBA
Head Sculpt: Eden
Body Type: NF 3.0
Skin Tone: FR White
Hair Color: Pastel Amethyst
Eyelashes: Yes, hand-applied
Quickswitch: No
This one is a WClub exclusive and only available to WClub members. If you are not a WClub member (why not??), you will need to wait for this beauty to pop up on Ebay sometime in the spring or start currying favor with one of your WClub friends with multiple memberships.
And…one other piece of information to share. It has been noted on the ever rich and vibrant WClub forum that the item number on this beauty has a letter after the number. This may or may not mean there is a variant of this doll coming in the future. Dare we hope for her twin sister Lilith to show up with a different and possibly darker color variation? Ohhhhh…I hope so!!!

Daywear look for the MOTHER of all giftsets!
You had me at the luggage Jessy…AT..THE..LUGGAGE. The gloves helped too 
Oh…my…word!! That face!! I die.
And in case the Daywear look isn’t your cup of tea…Jessy included a night look, IN PINK!
And in case you were not inspired by the clothing…the accessories are TO DIE FOR!!
But wait people…there is still more!! A sultry ultra evening look for the boudoir
This is all in one humongous giftset!
How do many collectors feel about this???
Yep…that is me…the lady in red above and to be honest I would be slamming it down on the counter too with a definitive “YASSSSS”. Vanessa might not be my favorite face mold but THIS Vanessa for me is “all that and a bag of chips”. Many are lamenting the increased price tag and I get that. She is more expensive, true. She also comes with three separate and amazing looks and …LUGGAGE!! I guess my threshold for being willing to pay more is, luggage. I don’t think I’m alone
Preorder for this lovely is open to WClub members UNTIL JANUARY 19TH, 2018 AT NOON EASTERN TIME!

Jason Wu 10th Anniversary Dolls
Jason Wu is releasing a commemorative collection of 10th anniversary dolls to showcase some of his favorite designs from the last ten years of his career. Today Bergdorf Goodman released a very limited edition set of dolls to the expectant arms of many willing and waiting collectors. A few lucky collectors were able to obtain them…many others did not. The funny part …or perhaps not so funny…is that we really don’t know who will end up with these dolls and who will not. Before I go any further, lets share images of what people were willing to get up at the crack of dawn to try to purchase.
Inspired by Jason Wu Fall 2011 RTW
Inspired by Jason Wu Spring 2011 RTW
Let me set the stage. If you are a WClub member, you received a “heads-up” that these dolls would be made available online only at Bergdorf Goodman on November 17th at approximately 9:00AM EST. This is one of those “PERKS” I talk about getting with a WClub membership that basically pays for the membership alone. Just sayin’…on to the scene.
Let’s be honest here people…for those who collect and love the hunt, this was catnip. With that information tucked away, many intrepid collectors from all over the world attempted to attain these allusive collectibles. When I say allusive…I mean it. Edition size is 200. That is SMALL. That makes these babies basically a holy grail in the fashion doll collecting community. It was a safe bet to say that there would be high demand and low supply. Basically a blue light Kmart special kind of event.
So, we had the approximate time and the place and most of us assumed that searching the website for “Jason Wu” or “Jason Wu doll” would be enough to find these beauties once they were released on the site. Some of us started early…as in predawn on the 17th. The search, it turns out was not as simple as typing in the logical “Jason Wu” oh no…it was to be more complicated than that. And here is the interesting thing I found today. It was the community and the loyal and helpful members of that community that essentially helped fellow collectors find the elusive links or gateways that allowed many to attempt to purchase these dolls. Thanks to one member in particular in the WClub, many of us were able to use a shared link and attempt to purchase these dolls. I will say outright here and now that many of us owe Blaiseworld on the WClub a big martini and undying thanks for directing us to the dolls. When many were expressing difficulty in finding the dolls after the designated time had arrived, Blaisworld shared the link that allowed us to get these in our carts and for all intensive purposes, purchase.
Why am I being so cagy about “purchase”? Excellent question. Many of us were able to put these babies in our cart and go through the regular checkout step. Many of us received the hallowed “confirmation” email. And then…many received the dreaded “cancellation” email. So many received cancellations that it has left everyone feeling like we don’t really know if we will get these dolls or not. There does not seem to be a rhyme or reason to the cancellations and there will be approximately a week delay to find out if these things will ship ( apparently the container ship with product has not arrived at BG yet). Most of us wait in anticipation hell…afraid of the pings of those incoming emails …afraid they will be cancellation emails. I am seriously developing a nervous tick with these pings LOL! As of this point, I am in anticipation of these dolls but I don’t fully expect them. Jason Wu shared on his Instagram that these dolls sold out in 1 hour so I am hopeful if I made purchase within that 1 hour that I will receive them. I don’t really know for sure though until I get the first step to the holy grail…the “shipping notice”.
I have said it before and I will say it again, Elyse and Eden/Lilith are my favorite face molds. I am interested in anything with these face molds. Added to that, the idea of having a miniature Jason Wu creation is flippin’ cool. I wish the edition size were such that those who wanted one could obtain one. In the absence of that, I have to say it was an an exhilarating yet maddening experience today as I ran into roadblocks. In the end, the roadblock was moved aside by a person I did not know personally but whom helped many collectors find their way to purchase. That is the true meaning of this day to me. This person didn’t have to help, but they did…and it helped many. Wow. Even if I don’t end up getting these dolls, I am humbled by the willingness of a few to help their fellow collectors. They didn’t hoard the information to themselves or hand it out to a select few…they gave it to the community. I find this over and over within this collecting community…a willingness to help eachother. Yes, yes, there are a few actors that are in it primarily for the profit and the gain but I would have to say, for the most part, the community wants to help….and in a world that is already pretty darn difficult right now…that made me smile.
Hoping to get these dolls but smiling in the midst of this uncertainty,
—Rebecca
Poetic Beauty Enters the Studio
Things have been crazy busy at ITFDS since July. Since the National Barbie Doll Collectors Convention, I have been in production mode for the Integrity Toys convention and that left very little time for anything else…taking photos or blogging. I need to work out a better schedule…. obviously!
In the craziness that was August through July, there were some very high points for my collection. One such moment was when I won the opportunity to purchase the Poetic Beauty Lilith and Eden gift set.
They are inspired, I believe, by the 2016 Pre fall Louis Vuitton collection..feel free to check out the photos in my original post about these dolls. Eden/Lilith is one of my all time favorite face molds and the fact that this gift set was offered in this lottery made me both excited and filled with anxiety. This was a lottery I REALLY wanted to win. I consider myself very lucky to have succeeded in this and was able to purchase.
I adore the facial screening on these dolls and the clothing was edgy, current and perfect for these young sister characters. The real highlight, however, in this set were the accessories.
It wasn’t the fact that you got 2 Louis Vuitton inspired purses but THE SHOES and those tasseled earrings. The execution and attention to detail on these accessories also deserves special comment. Really well done people…exceptional.
And…since the name of this gift set was Poetic Beauty…I had to pull out some Lord Byron….had to do it.
This set is one of IT’s best in my humble opinion. I adore every aspect of it so I will let Lord Byron finish this post with,
“And all that’s best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes; “

Like What you see?? But wait…there is more! This one is a gift set people!
Possible design inspiration is right off the runway from Alexandre Vauthier
Alexandre Vauthier 2017 Spring Couture
Wow right?!! I realize ( and totally relate to) that some are completely turned off by the fact that the shorts look was sported by Kendell Jenner on a red carpet event but lets not forget…the original look was designed by Alexandre Vauthier.
How adorable is that little butterfly headband?!! And I love the blue and white print with the facial screening of this doll. Soft and elegant. I don’t know who the design inspiration was for the gown but the feeling for me is that soft mystical feel of the recent Dior couture shows by Maria Grazia Chiuri ,formally of Valentino. I love the whimsy coupled with edginess of this giftset. It’s a full meal deal! This addition to the Nu.Face line is also part of the “Heirloom” collection so the backstory reveals that the little butterfly crown has been passed down through generations in Erin’s family. Sweet story. I am really enjoying the fun Jessy appears to be having with this line.
If you are a W Club member, you have until noon EST 9/8/2017 to order this one. Check for the links in your email. If you are not a member, check the secondary markets after this beauty is released ( not until 2018).

Riviera Drama Revealed!!
Back in February, one of the WClub membership dolls was revealed in sketch form. Yesterday, her promo shots were revealed and it had many WClub members clapping their hands with joy. You can read about the how this doll came to be here. It’s an interesting way to decide on a club doll. This doll was only available to WClub 2017 members as an optional upgrade with their membership purchase.
Riviera Drama
Agnes Von Weiss™ Dressed Doll
The Fashion Royalty® Collection
2017 W Club Upgrade Doll
Approximate Ship Date: Summer 2017
Edition Size: TBA (Determined by the total amount of orders received)
Doll Tech Specs:
Head Sculpt: Agnes Von Weiss
Hair Color: Raven (Black)
Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-Applied
Body Type: FR 6.0
Foot Sculpt: High-heeled / Traditional
Quick Switch Feature: No
Skin Tone: Cream
And here she is!
I am feeling an Elie Saab vibe here…the picture below is from his 2017 Resort collection. The fact that he used wedge shoes also with this look makes me think this was one of the inspirations for this look.
So…how do I feel about this reveal? I love the facial screening! Green eyes on a pale skinned raven Agnes…yummm! Also kind of happy they went with the nude lip. It feels very on trend for right now. This also makes her infinitely more re-dressable. I am thrilled that the jumpsuit isn’t black. I think jewel tones definitely fit with the “Riviera” theme. I adore the jewelry! What concerns me is the fabric shown. I don’t know if it flows like the original design does. It looks kind of stiff to me but then…that could just be the image and how the model is posed. Also…what is with this purse? Did they want to go for Christmas colors? I don’t think I would have chosen red. I may be in a minority here but I like the wedge shoes. It’s more casual and we don’t have shoes like this so if I want to dress this outfit up, I can certainly find a pair of black strappy sandals in my IT box. Also, I am hoping the hair isn’t too “crunchy” as in…stiff. It looks like it might be though. It does help with those annoying flyaways that I end up editing out in PS later anyway

2017 WClub Registration Begins!!
While some other clubs {cough…BFC…cough} have deferred their opening, Integrity Toys has just announced open enrollment for their 2017 WClub. Integrity Toys never fails to pull out the goodies for their WClub and this year is no exception.
Let’s start with the upgrade dolls! There are three this year and if you sign up for all three…there is a gift involved!!

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled / Traditional
Quick Switch Feature: No
Skin Tone: Cream
So…this year Integrity Toys and the WClub did things a little differently. They basically polled the 2016 WClub members to see what face mold, skin tone and hair color combination they would like to see in a club upgrade doll. They gave members a little over 2 weeks to vote and here are the results.
It would appear that the majority of members voted for a cream skin toned, raven haired Agnes. This was actually my vote so I’m kind of stoked to see the actual product. I have to admit…I am a little nervous about ordering a doll that I have only seen a sketch of but it is what I voted for so I’m in.

As David Buttry told us at the last IT convention, Poppy is headed to London in the 60’s. This lady certainly embodies that! I love that she has this lovely brown hair. While the 60’s are not a time period that I like to collect fashion wise, I can still appreciate the design and aesthetics of this Poppy. Love her white gloved hands and jaunty hat. Thumbs up David!

2016 Fashion Royalty Collection–A Delicate Bloom
Better late than never right?! Some collectors were beginning to wonder if we were going to get a new release or not. Granted, the reveal is a bit later than we have had in years past. One thing I was not remembering, however, was the fact that the WClub 2016 did not start until February of this year. Some have pointed out that this reveal halfway into the “club” year is about right. Time and collector sales numbers will finish the thoughts and stories on that one. In my opinion, revealing this collection 6 months into the club year is a bit late. That fact does not stop me from appreciating the product nor making purchases so there you go. If I am not totally satisfied with the delay in the reveal, I am satisfied with the delivery time on these babies. They are all available within the next couple of months so no long wait times. On the downside…They are all coming DUE FOR PAYMENT in the next couple of months. This is not good for the wallet.
Note: “Eye Decals” I have marked which of these dolls are using the new eye decal application method under doll tech specs for those who are interested. For me, this new method is ok for now. Some collectors are very averse to this technique being used and I wanted to make sure everyone had the information before they purchase. For me, I am willing to give this technique a chance. I also respect people’s consumer choice and for many this is important information to have before they purchase.
For those readers who are not WClub members, you can find most of these dolls on Integrity Toys dealers sites. Be aware, WClub members had this information days ago so if you want any of these, contact dealers ASAP. Some may already be sold out.
Important note from Integrity Toys: The dolls pictured in this release are prototypes. Final fabrics, colors and textures may vary slightly. Images of dolls used in this post are property of Integrity Toys, Inc. and under their copyright.
Contrasting Proposition
Natalia Fatalè™ Dressed Doll

Doll Tech Specs:
Body Type: FR2013
Head Sculpt: Natalia Fatalè™ 2.0
Quick Switch Feature: No
Skin Tone: FR White
Hair Color: Blond
Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-Applied
Love the lace overlay and added beading to the lace! I am also really loving the chunky jewelry design. All in all a very elegant look. For some reason, this Natalia left me without a clear “ must have” which is weird. I totally go for the elegant and refined and this dress has it. The doll just left me “meh” though and not sure if it was the simplistic hairstyle ( more on that later) or the pale skin tone on a character that I prefer as sultry Latino. Love the jewelry though so may have to find that in the secondary market. As I write this I also realize that some of my lack of excitement over this one may be the use of black. I feel like IT overdosed on it’s use of black last year and here it is again…albeit as secondary colors but still…it’s black!

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-Applied
**Note: Decal Eyes**
YAASSSSSSSS! Now we are talkin’. I saw this caramel tressed Kyori and felt the wallet open ( a chorus of angels may have struck a chord as well). I love the soft pastel color pallet!! Not a whiff of black here. I love the embroidered leather ( ok not real leather but still) and the edgy refinement of it. It feels forward and still elegant. This feels like Jason influence to me and I like it. Also, whoever is heading up the jewelry and accessory department at IT…HATS OFF!! Here we have another new design in earrings and its fabulous! Love the grey purse and sunglasses. The lavender shoes are EVERYTHING! Me likes. I am hoping Dania’s grey gloved hands of last year’s club doll will match this one.

**Note: Decal Eyes**
Ok…so I have to admit my first thought on this one came straight from the “I’m a Mom of a 16 year old girl” and it said “ That skirt does not satisfy the fingertip rule”. Then I started paying attention to the details and felt better. First I looked at the doll. Gorgeous Dasha with beautiful smoky eyes pale blond hair. Stunning. The jacket is really quite detailed so I told the “mom” in me to sit down and reflect. I think this one will be amazing redressed and I have plans for that jacket ( maybe not with the skirt 
)

This one will be through IT Direct not dealers people. What did I notice about this doll first? The price!! Alain explained that this was done as tribute to the “basic doll” that IT has done in years past. I don’t know that there is anything really “basic” about this beauty. The price alone certainly has many interested. One pet peeve however…and this is the photographer in me but…the right eye on this lady is off ( left eye pupil is forward looking, right eye it is off to side). I am expectant and hopeful that in production this item is fixed. WClubbers, look for emails on how to acquire this one sometime in October.

A redheaded Luchia?!!! I’m in!! And she has cream skin tone. Me likes! The dress is very interesting. Feeling a little Valentino here but I have not researched so have no idea how close I am on that one. The yellow purse is certainly a pop of color in this one but I may switch that out. Also, while I love the industrial jewelry in this collection, I would go for something softer with this gown. Grey pearls maybe? Don’t know but will have fun trying things out.

Yes, yes…this gown is almost in retinal searage territory. My first question was…”Is it yellow or green yellow?” I am thinking it is more in the yellow category but photographs can be deceiving. Either way, I find myself admiring this one which surprises me because I am NOT a yellow fan. I ADORE the embroidery on this one and the fact that it is an homage to the house of Oscar de la Renta endears this one to me. I am also loving the auburn haired Eugenia with the pink/coral lips.

First of all…giftset with Elyse…no brainer for me. 1) Love, love, love the soft palette on this facial screening. I believe Jessy Ayala is in charge of all facial screenings now so..Jessy..LOVE! 2) How adorable is this lingerie set?!!…the bows…the bows..you had me at the bows 3) A Marchesa inspired gown!! 4) Another nod to the house of Oscar de la Renta. Sign me up, I’m in. I am not a huge fan of the high/low skirt with a suit but it’s not a deal breaker for me. If they had just had a pencil skirt in the same fabric as the jacket, this set would have been close to perfect for me. This was the first one in my shopping cart people…the very first.
But wait…there is more! There is always more with Integrity Toys. More, as in…event doll!

**Need to be WClub member to purchase this one**
THUD! Holy Cow collectors! I don’t think my fingers hesitated one single moment before hitting the “BUY” button on this one..and from what I am seeing from other WClubbers…they feel the same way. This one may be up there as one of the largest edition sizes in the history of the WClub. Edition size will be driven by WClub members who order and I know many are ordering multiples of this one. ( one per membership and many members have multiple memberships). Where do I start?! The dress…oh my word the dress! Pale peachy pink with beaded lace overlay. Ahhhhhh!!! –another chorus of angels is singing here. That adorable pink bow clutch! I am even liking the industrial necklace with this gown. I and many other WClubbers will be looking forward to the Winter ‘16’ delivery of this one. Please oh please let it be before Christmas!!! ( not likely but a girl can dream).
One final note that needs to be made about this collection is the very paleness of it. While I love that they gave us colors other than black in this collection ( yes, they really do listen to their collectors), they did not have any skin tone diversity in this collection. The yellow gown alone would have been stunning on an Adele. It left many collectors asking “where is the diversity?” A very valid question and one I hope Integrity addresses.
More Reveals..ITBE 16 inch and MLP ❤ coming up…….
Ooh La La Indeed!!
The WClub Poppy Parker Exclusive arrived just after I returned from Barbiecon a few weeks ago. As with most conventions, I have spent the last couple of weeks going through my acquired treasures and getting over “The convention cold”. When you put around 1,000 people together in a ballroom for multiple events, and these same people get on average 4-5 hours of sleep a night…there is bound to be illness. So… now I am on the mend, I managed to snap some images of this new Poppy Parker and get them ready for the blog.

This one comes to this collector WAY better than the promo shots promised. And the promo shots were pretty darn good. She is simply stunning! Love, Love, Love her.
Love the accessories with this giftset! Lot’s of mix and match options.
I recently had a new logo designed for my main photography business and wanted to try it out on some of the doll shots too. Not too bad 
Thank you Daniel at Photologo!!
For those of you awaiting the beginning of the series of posts on the blogging and doll photography presentation I did at Barbiecon…fear not. It should be up starting this Friday, August 19th. For those of you who did attend the class, the images in this post were taken using the “light bouncing” technique I talked about.

You have to love these giftsets and check out the dual stand!! I have not seen that before. I am completely digging the case with this one too. Very chic and elegant. I adore the sleek platinum blond ponytails and red, red lips. I am also a big fan of the cream skin tone and it looks like Agnes has it for this set. Hope to see these girls sometime before the end of the year. Integrity Toys thanked Jason and Vaughn for this offering in their release email . This collector thanks them too!
And…because we have sisters for the giftset…just had to add this, sorry, couldn’t help myself.
Get ready folks…Poppy Parker “right to buy” lotteries will be right around the corner!

Her facial screening has been updated. The eyes are new for this edition. It’s very similar to the screening on their 16 inch Poppy’s…so much so that this collector thought it was a 16 inch Poppy when I first saw the photos. Her ingénue look is gone but then, Poppy is getting older so it tracks that she should get a more mature look. In my opinion, this screening works. I was not a fan of the harder, harsher screening of the IFDC Poppy’s or the convention Poppy’s from 2014. This screening…me likes! The Platinum hair..me also likes. However, I believe collectors are really hoping to see some variations other than blonde from Integrity this year. I also noticed that this Poppy is getting a “numbered certificate”. When did Poppy start getting certificates like the FR/FR2 ladies? Did I miss it last year or is this the first? 
There are a number of mix and match possibilities here and that purse/tote is too cute. Don’t even get me started on the adorable shoes…you had me at the wedge shoes David…you had me at the wedges. Merci Beaucoup!!! 
**Members have until Tuesday, April 26th at noon ET to preorder this one.**

My reaction?…
Oh yes again!!! My poor, poor wallet is toast but Stefan and I are happy. How amazing is this Imogen?! Love the smoky eye and beautiful slightly tan Hungarian skin stone. It’s so edgy chic!! Perfect for the newly revamped and emerging Nu.Face line.
It looks like the Nu.Face team is going back to Balmain for inspiration here and can I just say…good call on NOT doing the ruffled pants. Looks like there may be some Alexander MCQueen going on as well with all the skulls.
I don’t know about other WClubbers but this one is a happy, happy camper…one soon to be very poor happy, happy camper.
If you interested in becoming a WClub member or want to learn more, feel free to watch IT’s video brochure here. If you already know you want in…go to WClub website and follow the instructions.

And…for this 10th anniversary edition, they are pulling out one often longed for luxury of giftsets past…a gorgeous case to put it in. This harkens back to the Haute Luxuries sets of the first years of Fashion Royalty dolls. Classy and so very much appreciated.
So the whole package comes to you like this…
The gown bears a striking resemblance to a couture Dior worn by Charlise Theron at the 2014 Oscars ( one of my picks that year for favorite gown of the Oscars)

While the doll loves the party, I am loving the entire giftset!! When I first saw this offering from the WClub, my thought was “Now THAT is a gift set!!!” If they wanted to leave the WClub members happy after a year of fairly large product delivery delays, this will do it. Hopefully we won’t have to wait too long for this one. I adore that this is a raven haired Elyse ( even though we received another brunette Elyse offering at convention but poor girl suffers from hydrocephalic hairstyle **see previous blog post**so there you have it). I love the makeup and hair and the gown, while still a little too close to black for me, is gorgeous. I am really loving the jewelry in this offering as well.
WClub members have a generous 2 and a half weeks to decide if they want to preorder this beauty. Deadline to order is Tuesday, January 5th, 2016 at Noon Eastern Time (New York Time).
Are WClub members excited about this offering?? Oh, I think so.

Is it just me or does it look like Vanessa has been out partying until the wee hours of the morning? Maybe it’s the sleepy eyed look. Speaking for this collector, ENOUGH with the black dresses and gowns already!! I love the cut of the gown, just wish it had been in a different color. I know black is chic and oh so Parisienne but it wouldn’t kill us to add a little color to the wardrobe. The jewelry and platinum hair on this one are TO DIE FOR. The look of valium she is sporting…not my thing. Now I realize that if they had pushed up her eyelashes a bit for the photo, she may not look so..well..sleepy. This is actually perfect for the “after” Black Tie Ball look. Still on the fence as to whether I am buying on this one. Deadline for WClub members is Thursday, September 10th at Noon Eastern Time (New York Time).
I have to give credit to Integrity Toys and their responsive team here. Originally they had advertised this beauty as a Vanessa 3.0 face mold and within 24 hours after collectors had questioned this on the WClub Forums…they issued a correction. She is in fact a Vanessa 1.0 face mold. Man oh man is it nice to hear and see that a company is listening to their collector forums and issuing a correction when need be. Sometimes a true and heartfelt “I’m sorry we were wrong” can make all the difference in the world. Live, Learn, Grow.
Agnes of the Jungle
I can’t take credit for this title…that goes to my husband Jon. He was my faithful reflector holder during this photo shoot and we both learned that a full size “human” reflector for these small shoots are super HOT! Had no idea how hot those things can get in full sun…to models all over the world…”I’m truly sorry you have to deal with this on a daily basis” So I re-dressed Ms. Agnes in uptown haute couture last time so I needed to go a different way. I went straight for the animal print and leather moto jacket. **It is important to note here that I had to undo the seam between the legs in the bodysuit top to get it to fit the FR2 body**
I dressed her in this outfit and all I could think of was a leopard laying on a tree branch. Once the vision is there, I was compelled to find myself a tree branch and drape her over it for this shot.
And since she is wearing animal print…had to do a Roberto Cavalli ad LOL!
** Note: No rhododendron bushes were hurt during the filming of this blog post. We may have inadvertently signaled a satellite in space with our reflector and for that we are truly sorry. **
Aristocratic Re-dress
Is it redress or re-dress?? Could not come up with a consensus so I just published anyway. This Agnes is stunning! The re-dressing ( again…not sure if I am using the right spelling) potential is high for this one. She can go casual chic or uptown haute couture very easily. She is very much the Baroness here. I need to get her a little 1/6 Louis Vuitton passport cover .
