Perfect Match Gift Set- Jem and the Holograms 35th Anniversary from Integrity Toys

Well...this was unexpected to say the least.  We had been given a sneak of the super cool stand and we all assumed we were getting the Holograms. Literally NOBODY was expecting (nor wanting) this set.  I don't hate it. But I definitely don't love it. Did I buy it?  Well, yes. I had planned to skip it...but then decided I needed the great stand and Jem's outfit.  At $300 for WClub members, it was a really great deal for three dolls and I figured I can sell what I don't want. I don't need another Rio and I did not need a new sculpt. The Milo sculpt is nice though...so if you don't have the OG Rio, then this could be welcome. Riot is a great sculpt. I already have one that I love so I don't really need another. The outfit is over the top and fun...I might keep that. Many have pointed out that this Riot could be a great start to re-creating that swell OOaK Karl Lagerfeld Monarch from the last convention. So hmmmm. The Rock and Curl Jem is fine. Cute and a little basic. But I like the creative liberty with the bubble skirt.  Feels extra 80s. I would have loved her hair a bit longer like the original doll.  I love the stand. So fun.  I want more stands like this.  I just got a glowforge at work and might try to make my own stands like this...or I might cast this one and make more out of resin.  Anyway, I think you might still be able to buy this set at Sideshow.

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

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.
