Sister Moguls: W Club 2016 Exclusive Giftset

I love Integrity but they are killing me this year with their product announcements and shipping schedule. Everything seems to be coming out at the same time forcing collectors to really make tough choices about what they love and what they can afford. Here we are in August and we won't be seeing the FR or Nu Face collections until the end of the month at the earliest. However, many collectors have already committed their dolly dollars to the October Convention. In addition, we still have two more club exclusives. Brutal. I really hope they space these releases out better next year. As it stands, I will likely have to skip most of these upcoming releases and hope the convention dolls are satisfying. 

Most people seem to be going crazy about this latest gift set featuring the popular sisters, Agnes and Giselle. I think it is a great idea and I love the case and double stand.  BUT...I am so tired of black and blondes.  I have no interest in these but I'm happy for those that are excited.  I passed on my chances to purchase to other collectors on the forum.

When Baroness Agnes Von Weiss decided to launch her own couture studio a few years ago, little did she know that after a rocky start, Von Weiss International would go on to become one of the top European fashion houses! The secret behind this success? Giselle Diefendorf jumping in as lead designer to salvage the whole affair after Agnes tried her hand at designing! Now, thanks to young Giselle's efforts and Agnes' flashy marketing schemes, the house is always on top! Where this duo goes, others are bound to follow!

Baroness Agnes Von Weiss™ and her younger sister Giselle Diefendorf™ are 12.5-inch fully articulated vinyl fashion dolls with long, matching pale blond ponytails and hand-applied eyelashes. In this unique gift set, this killer fashion duo make an impressive display of just how strong fashion runs in their family! Agnes takes the lead in a perfectly form fitting, see-through lace gown designed by her talented sister Giselle, who assembled her own look from pieces of Von Weiss' latest runway looks! This fantastic gift set includes all of the trappings to make it a new centerpiece in your collection and comes in an exclusively designed carry case package for safekeeping! A new double-doll stand and a numbered certificate of authenticity is also included. For adult collectors ages 15 and up.

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
