Idex Doll News and My Thoughts...

I find it funny that when you search for IDEX 2011...you get a military defense weapon conference as well as a doll conference. Two great things that go great together evidently.

Check out James' wonderful pictures...

Lots of news from the doll companies. The Fashion Royalty FR2 line is going to kill me. I loved all of it. Ugh. I think I will break down and get an Elise and one outfit....but I also might wait for the convention. The Dracula and Brides collection is also very cool. I am trying to resist that though.

Tonner had some of their new items up as well. The Twilight Jasper sculpt is a winner. I think the Anne Harper series looks swell but I think I will manage to resist these dolls. The special Tonner event featured a souvenir Deanna Denton head shrunk to fit a Antoinette body. She is called "Fresh Face". The photos also show off the fun size changes for the new Alice in Wonderland dolls. I am crazy for Voyage of Wonder. I must have that outfit.

Tonner report roundup:

-New Mood Tyler, Sydney, & Esme- make your own doll with inset eyes, 3 chest plate options, wigs, and changeable hands and feet.

-Marvel Dolls planned- Emma Frost, Rogue, Wolverine, Captain America, Electra, & Black Cat

-Theatre de la Mode is coming back on the Antoinette body and extra fashions for Tyler

-More sculpts for the Revlon body

-American Model is back with articulation. Pics look sort of Gothy.

-Next DC Star is Starfire on the big girl body. People think she looks pornographic. I sigh in response. Get over yourselves people...it's a friggin' superhero doll. I think she looks great...but I am not really a Starfire fan. I am really surprised they did not do a Green Lantern girl...like Jade or Carol Ferris/Star Sapphire...especially with the upcoming movie? Maybe we will get a Nightwing doll to go with Starfire thought? *Fingers crossed*

Cheryl Crawford has a new line of super-detailed resin bjd artist dolls priced in the $700 range.

-Madame Alexander looks like they have tweaked the Alex sculpts again.

Horsman also has new and interesting things coming out for Zita along with fantastic furniture!

-The Wilde Imagination line is STUNNING. I might break down and get another Evangeline. I had sold my resin doll off recently...but I might have to go back again. The clothes were great. I love the one in the pink dress...

-More resin male and female dolls from Angelic Dreamz' JamieShow line. One of the male dolls is Asian. Also more of those fabulous shoes.

-Joan Greene has a new line of historical dolls named Cordelia through Greene Lam Studios.

W Club Exclusive Doll "Mademoiselle Eden" from Nu Face...

Image
Well, surprise it's another twin. People on W Club seemed mostly jazzed.  I was like....hmmm. Not sure. It feels like a whole lot of lazy rehash.  That dress seems like a variation on a dress from Luxe Life Eugenia and the jacket is the same one we got on Karolin at Live from Fashion Week (which (I sold off) The hair color is almost identical to the recent Violaine doll (whom I ADORE).  But I do love the mint dress (it has pocketssss!) and shoes quite a bit.  I am not loving the hairstyle at all and would definitely be removing the Snooki pouf hair . I love fantasy hair...but wish it weren't so similar to Violaine.  I've been wanting a minty haired doll...and maybe this one would be a perfect re-root candidate.  So I am still a little undecided.  Someone also pointed out that her stock number (82120A) could possibly indicate a corresponding Lilith version (82120B?) is coming our way (possibly for Dolly days?). Which sort of panic scares me into ordering her...hmmm.

Paris Doll Convention News

The Paris Doll Convention was this past weekend. Pictures can be seen here courtesy of the fantabulous Gerda! There was a gorgeous Raven hair Ellowyne with cute bangs and a ponytail and smokey eye makeup called Paris Blue limited to 250. The Sybarite event doll for the Saturday evening banquet was a bright red wigged doll with hot pink eye makeup and a gold and pink evening gown called Epocholypse. There was also a Raven version in a black and silver gown limited to 20 available via a special drawing. Both have lovely face paint and the wigs are in a cute haute heidi braid look. The dresses are nice..but i am not a big fan of Superdoll's gowns. I love their unique sportswear looks more. I am the same with Tonner gowns as well. Some lucky ducks walked away with the new Sybarite Fashion Victim dolls. I am very jealous as these look FABULOUS. I so want that mohawk pink wig one.... They also had hand sets with different posed hands and I really hope they sell these in the f

IT Dolly Days East 59th La Femme Godiva Collection with New Characters!

Image
  Well another gorgeous set of dolls from designer Christ Stoeckel. He and Mark Tinkey are definitely favs at the moment. The clothing here is lovely and highly detailed. We are getting two new characters which seem to be using some older sculpts.  I like them and I don't mind some stylization...but they do seem a touch out of step with the screening on Evelyn which seems more realistic.  I tried for Cora in the lottery and lost out.  I am hoping to jump on the wait list and maybe get lucky though. I am a big Mugler fan and this fashion on Cora is definitely a reference to a Mugler look as well as to Jerry Hall's locks (also a Mugler model). I missed out on preordering the rest of the ladies from the dealers.  I would really like to get Evelyn's outfit at some point.  I will be patient.
