"I was dreaming about beautiful real model looking dolls since I was a kid, but the smallest doll I had back in 1988 was a 14 inches "Cinderella" doll and of course, it had nothing to do with modern fashion dolls. I remember making a "bra" with two pom-poms and a stretchy band to make her look like a Disney "Cinderella" and was hiding it that my parents wouldn't notice the "improvement" I created. I never could imagine that 20 years later, I will discover Fashion Royalty dolls.

The 2014 Gloss convention was my first Integrity Toys convention and I was entering the very first time for a doll design competition. Since I had some experience in creating doll clothes, I knew I had chances to win but I would never think it actually could happen. That was an amazing feeling to receive such honor by winning in both categories, it's like falling in love for the first time - doesn't matter what your future holds, but you will always remember the first one." - Julia Leroy

"I love vintage era fashions and I think many fashion designers are looking to be inspired by it. The competition theme was perfect for me, but I wanted to combine a classic vintage dress with modern edgy elements that even the future Fashion Royalty doll released 30 years from now could easily wear. I chose to reconstruct a vintage looking bodice for my dress and combine it with the today's most popular red carpet "mermaid style" skirt. To make it look effortless and modern, I covered parts of the dress with mesh inserts. I called it "As Dusk Falls" because I imagined my character as a "mysterious lady" - like that old time story about "Cinderella" - when she appears from almost twilight air and everybody looks at her mesmerized by her beauty."

Integrity Toys, Inc., under license from Hasbro, Inc., is thrilled to announce the "heart MY LITTLE PONY" fashion figure collection, a high end collectible series inspired by and made to honor the fans of the MY LITTLE PONY brand.
This special-edition collection that is guaranteed to be "at least 20% cooler" will include several fashion dolls and figures inspired by both male MY LITTLE PONY brand enthusiasts (often known in popular culture as "bronies") and female enthusiasts (often known as "pegasisters").
"The MY LITTLE PONY brand has the most amazing community of fans, based around the positive messaging showcased on the My Little Pony Friendship is Magic animated series" said Alain Tremblay, marketing director of Integrity Toys, Inc. "We cannot wait to showcase and honor their fandom through this unique and trendy series of collectible 12-inch figures, decked out in MY LITTLE PONY branded gear and more". Vaughn Sawyers, head designer for Integrity Toys added, "As MY LITTLE PONY fans are as firmly entrenched themselves in popular culture as the brand itself, and with fans on our own design team, we felt that now was the perfect time for a collection like this."
This is not the first time Integrity Toys has teamed up with Hasbro, Inc. Integrity also has been producing JEM AND THE HOLOGRAMS collectible dolls under license from Hasbro, Inc. for the past few years.
The heart MY LITTLE PONY figures, which will be done in 1:6 scale (approximately 12 inches tall) are set to be released approximately in the fourth quarter of 2015 and more details about their pricing and where to purchase them will be available closer to the release date.
In the meantime, Integrity Toys has released two prototype sketches, including one male figure and one female figure, and is taking an email sign-up notification list at its website at www.integritytoys.com/mlp. Interested consumers and media can sign up for this email list to get updates about the line and its upcoming release*.

• The male figures will have the current FR: Homme body and the female dolls will sport a new, yet to be unveiled body. There will be more details about this in future announcements.
• Each figure will come displayed in a new package design, themed around each My Little Pony character associated with the doll or figure.
• Fans can expect lots of little "themed" accessories and especially designed clothing pieces that express each doll's love for his or her favorite My Little Pony character.
• This new collection may or may not be distributed via Integrity Toys' network of authorized dealers. Since IT does not have final costing yet, they cannot make this announcement at this time. Exact pre-ordering information will be released when IT is ready to unveil the collection approximately in the fourth quarter of 2015 (Winter 2015-2016).

We know that whenever we make a change to a head sculpt it can be controversial, but we wanted to make this change to the Tulabelle character as we felt that it was time to age her slightly to give us more fashion options and choices. We gave Tulabelle a new head sculpt with more realistic proportions and details. We hope that you'll love the new head sculpt as much as we do.

Tulabelle is a 16-inch fully articulated fashion doll with rooted hair styled in an extravagant, double updo. She is wearing a gold brocade hot pant suit, shocking pink satin bustier, black fishnets and black, pink and gold faux leather platform heels. A black faux leather clutch and gold chain choker necklace finishes off this look. A doll stand is included. For adult collectors ages 15 and up.

Of course this doll comes with the necessary warning from IT: "Note about the hair: As with all dolls with "updo" types of hairstyles, please note that this hairstyle was not intended to be taken down. Should you decide to do so, please note that it is at your own risk, as the head may or may not be fully rooted since the hair was implanted to create the specific style shown".
