The 2016 Integrity Toys Convention: Supermodels part IX: The W Club Luncheon

After a Friday night without an official event (only the Bazaar was on), Saturday morning arrived and the last convention day. This means, first of all,  the W Club Members-Only Luncheon. This year it featured Nu Face and the centerpiece was Erin sitting on a miniature motorcycle (which you can find on ebay for more or less the same price one could get it in the convention, it's a Honda Valkyrie model miniature). During the event, W Club owner and stage-host Carol Roth hosted a Q & A panel featuring the IT design team. The designers answered questions that club members sent in online last week. The gift doll was a new-sculpt Colette doll. Jesse Ayala is taking over the Nu Face line design.
In other news, the AHS: Coven first doll is appearing near the end of the month and the first doll will be Angela Basset's Marie Laveau. They confirmed what many suspected, the demise of the Dynamite Girls line. The Industry line is its replacement, will use some of those sculpts but at almost double the price. Makes financial sense, no?

Erin S.™ / NU. Face Dressed Doll

This Erin is of course inspired by the famous photoshoot by Peter Lindbergh for thr September 1991 issue of American Vogue seen below:


Cindy Crawford, Tatjana Patitz, Helena Christensen, Linda Evangelista, Claudia Schiffer, Naomi Campbell, Karen Mulder, and Stephanie Seymour. Styled by Grace Coddington, All wearing Versace jackets and skirts.

Erin looks great and her outfit as well, apart from the oversize cap. 


So is she Helena or Cindy? Maybe Stephanie? Or Karen?


The bike she was shown on is below. 50 of the attendees were raffled to buy these. You can find it on ebay.


She had nice accessories too

So this is the new sculpt for Colette. This has been a long time coming. Last appearance of the old one as Colette was back in the Rock Wedding Trio if I remember correctly.


The outfit is from Azedinne Alaia's Tati collection from 1991 as seen below on Christy:


She has a ring too and the mules look just like Christy's above left. Pity she does not have a bag.

Karl Lagerfeld Barbie update: it will be VERY limited!

Today the first photo of the upcoming Karl Lagerfeld Barbie popped up on the indomitable designer's website. It shows the doll looking up to her real-life counterpart, dressed in a miniature version of his iconic black suit and white shirt plus accessories as promised by the original sketch.


According to the website, Barbie Lagerfeld is arriving at the end of the month. Taking inspiration from the designer’s signature style, the doll will be dressed in the designer’s likeness with accents taken from the real KARL LAGERFELD line. Borrowing from Karl’s iconic silhouette, the doll will be wearing a tailored black jacket, white high-collared men’s shirt with French cuffs and black satin cravat finished off with fitted black jeans featuring the iconic all-over head print. The accessories include black fingerless gloves, sunglasses, black ankle boots and a black leather purse with silver metallic accents. As for the doll, I can't tell which sculpt this* is but the body looks like a pivotal. Barbie specialists please advise!


The Platinum-label Barbie Lagerfeld doll will be available in limited quantities (only 999 dolls will be produced) for approximately $200 USD or €200 Euro through exclusive retail channels including: select KARL LAGERFELD retail stores, TheBarbieCollector.com, NET-A-PORTER.COM and Colette in Paris. The worldwide retail launch is set for Monday, September 29, 2014. I bet it will be really hard to get one despite the extremely high price.


* Update 16 Sep. 2014: the sculpt is new and it is named Karl (of course)! Body type listed as poseable. Skin tone: Peace.

Integrity Toys new collections 2014: Poppy Parker

This year's theme for the Poppy Parker collection became known ever since it was mentioned in the convention back in 2013. One of the W Club upgrade dolls was a Poppy as a spy, part of this line as well. But, even though the theme was known and the inspiration predictable (Avengers, James Bond, 60s spy films and TV series), everybody was wowed when the many dolls comprising this collections started appearing on their screens. Poppy is supposedly acting in a spy TV series after her friend and mentor Loni secured her the starring role. The whole collection looks great and very coherent. And so many dolls!

She's a gorgeous doll and I wanted to get her but I finally settled on two other dolls from this collection so she had to be left out. I know I will regret it at some point but you can't have it all. Brilliant doll.

Poppy Parker is a 12-inch fully articulated vinyl doll with warm brunette hair and hand-applied eyelashes. A doll stand is included. For adult collectors ages 15 and up.


Another beautiful doll. The extreme use of gold and the turquoise eye-shadow is what made her a no-choice for me. She's fun though!

Guess who's back - the original Ayumi face sculpt. Here it is used to introduce an Asian friend of Poppy's, Tina Tanaka. She plays the role of Agent Kimiko Gunn.

Ayumi is one of my very favourite sculpts. I own the very first Ayumi doll so I have been expecting her re-release with quite an anticipation. And here she is, in the Poppy line! It was a surprise for all, and a welcome one at that. I love her look too, the dress, accessories and styling is amazing! And, as the outfit is very mod, she will fit perfectly with the mod Poppy dolls from two years ago.

Jolie James is a 12-inch fully articulated vinyl doll with brunette/raven mixed hair and hand-applied eyelashes. Doll stand included. For adult collectors ages 15 and up. 


She looks cute but it is pink overload! Anyone else getting a Lea Michelle vibe from the doll? Great details on the dress. The coat fabric looks a bit cheap and bulky.

Loni Lawrence is a 12-inch fully articulated vinyl doll with golden blond hair with a platinum streak and hand-applied eyelashes. A doll stand is included. For adult collectors ages 15 and up.    


Everybody was expecting a special Poppy for the 5th anniversary of the doll but I bet no one expected this! To tell you the truth, when I saw Loni I thought I would not get her, even though this is the best incarnation of the  sculpt. And I thought I could save money to maybe get Lotta Danger instead. Ha! When the silver-haired Poppy appeared, I knew I had to get her. Brilliant idea and execution.

If you thought we were done with older sculpts getting re-introduced in this line, think again! Francisco Leon is reincarnated as Loni's real life brother, Lex Lawrence. He stars in the series as Sebastien Havoc, Sebina's right hand man and twin brother. He wears black leggings, a black turtleneck with mod tunic, knee high boots, black sunglasses, and carries a gun. Lex Lawrence is a 12.5-inch fully articulated vinyl fashion figure with blond streaked hair. A doll stand is included. For adult collectors ages 15 and up.


Great reincarnation of Francisco, although not my cup of tea. If his hair comes as it looks in the prototype, he will look amazing.I have enough Franciscos with long hair though, even though they are not blonde.


Item # PP067 
Mayhem in Monte Carlo Poppy Parker™ Dressed Doll

Poppy Parker wears a floor length fuchsia gown with detailed embroidery on the bodice and dramatic bow on the shoulder. Completing this look are black pumps, white opera length gloves, detailed jewellery, and a silver chrome gun. Poppy Parker is a 12-inch fully articulated vinyl fashion doll with strawberry blond hair and hand-applied eyelashes. A doll stand is included. For adult collectors ages 15 and up.


Such a beautiful doll in such an ugly dress. I think this dress is the only thing in this collection that stands apart as the worst thing included. The doll though is gorgeous. Her face and hair are amazing. The hair looks too 70s though, mainly because of the sweeping strands parted on the side. A fringe or nothing at all on the forehead would have made this look so much more 60s.


Item # PP068
Code Name: Arm Candy Chip Farnsworth III™ Dressed Doll 
Suggested Retail Price: $120.00 US 
Limited Edition Size: 700 
Estimated Ship Date: Approximately Summer 2014

Body Type: FR Homme (12.5-inch) 
Head Sculpt: Chip Farnsworth III 
Quick Switch Feature: No 
Skin Tones: FR White 
Hair Color: Black 
Eyelashes: No 


When I heard the nickname "Agent Arm Candy" for this version of  Chip Farnsworth III, I almost fell off my chair laughing! He wears a pink brocade tuxedo jacket, black slacks and shoes, a black briefcase, and he carries a black gun. Chip Farnsworth III is a 12.5-inch fully articulated vinyl fashion figure with rooted black hair. A doll stand is included. For adult collectors ages 15 and up.


Great looking doll but I already own a tuxedo wearing Chip (and that one is much better looking than this one). He looks exactly like his nickname says: arm candy for Poppy.
