Integrity Idex Previews...Hold onto your Purse Strings!

You have probably seen them by now...and hopefully you have already fedex'd your life savings to your nearest doll dealer...because these dolls are AMAZING.  The worst part is...there are MORE TO COME. I am clearly not going to survive the vinyl windfall this year.  Some of the current girls need to make way because these upcoming dolls are to good to pass up.


The Monograms...wow.  I have not been swayed by these in the past but this current line up is more than tempting.  My two favorites of the batch are Exaggeration and Admiration.  The outfits combined with awesome accessories and beautiful facial screening knock these out of the park.  I did manage to resist the pre-order though but I cannot say that I won't be eyeing future sales on these two girls.

 The FR16's look lovely but I am holding out on these until it is the absolute perfect storm of outfit, face, and hair color for me.  Same for the adorable 16 Poppy doll.  The Nu Fantasy Hansel & Gretal...very very cool.  The detail on these outfits blows my mind.

Now for the real squeal factors....Chip!  Holy moley I love this doll.  The sculpt is adorable...sort of Blaine-esque from Glee mixed with Jake from Sixteen Candles.  And the two-tone shoes...so cute.  The Platinum Poppy is also so sweet...but she will be de-bumped the moment she enters the house.  YES...I caved and pre-ordered these in an instant.

My other must-have was Poppy as Sabrina.  OMG.  I wish I could have the whole she-bang but I had to restrain myself.  When I saw the Most Sophisticated Gift set, i got on the horn immediately and secured a pre-order.  Now I still have not gotten my Breakfast at Tiffany's giftset yet...taps foot impatiently...but I am sure I will be over the moon with the awesomeness of these sets.

It does mean that my brunette Poppy will be getting an eviction notice...can't have any repeats...

And just think...there is still the regular FR line coming. EEEEK!  Plus more Tonner.  Le sigh.

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.

Integrity Toys 2023 Year in Review

Image
  The 2023 Club year was a bit of a sloppy drunk.  Let's call her Sheila. Sheila is generally good fun, but occasionally she takes FOREVER, says the wrong thing, over-serves herself, and then spends a lot of time apologizing. Get a hold of yourself, Sheila! Here is a photo showing what I ordered from this year (though it is missing the Wildflower Misaki doll which I did order. This is easily the least amount of stuff I have ordered in a club year. I really liked all of the True Industry line up but was trying to be good. I already have versions that I love of all of those characters and don't want to repeat sculpts with them. I did not have a Jasper or an Auden though and I liked them both enough to enter in the lottery. I got Auden but not Jasper sadly (hoping I will find a takeover later). At the slightly reduced club pricing, the sticker shock of the new high prices was not as bad for what is basically the same Dynamite Girls dolls we used to get for like $60 back in the day

Yes. I'm alive...Here is a long overdue dolly update

Image
Sorry it has been FOREVER since I have blogged.  I have been working my fanny off at my new day job (professor at UW-Madison) and had little time for anything else. And, I have to say bluntly, I have been feeling a whole lot less enthusiastic about a lot of things lately, but dolls especially.  Don't get me wrong, I still love them and have still bought more than a few over the last year. But I have only managed to unbox a few of my purchases in the last year...so I've got a big pile up waiting for me. I finally have a bit of time off and I am hoping to spend some more time with the collection. Also, I want to do some serious purging.  I am registered for the 2024 convention and planning to do room sales. So I am considering bringing a serious checked bagged filled with dolls. I think pairing down will let me focus and enjoy what I actually have more. So planning a brutal "no mercy" purge. But there are always lows and highs with a hobby right? Of the dolls released i
