2018 FR Capsule Collection: Boudoir. Yowza.

Well, it's almost April and my dolly resolve is crumbling a bit. Integrity just surprised us with a capsule collection of Fashion Royalty Ladies rocking lingerie. Designed by Jessy Ayala, three dolls are available from dealers and two as lottery exclusives. The "close-up" dolls retail for $125 and have really low edition sizes. Most are likely sold out from dealers...but one might try couture dolls as they often list things later. The holiday weekend might also mess with ordering too...so have faith and maybe you will find one. I managed to resist all but one: Dasha. I currently only have the Anika version of Dasha (whom I love dearly) and this new version is winning it for me.   I think people are considering homicide in order to get a chance at lottery Vamp Agnes.


Thoughts below in blue:

I've yet to warm up to the Isha 1.0 sculpt. The lingerie gorgeous though. Pretty hair color too.

Item # 91434 Just a Tease Mademoiselle Jolie™ Close-up Doll Fashion Royalty®: The Boudoir Collection Ships: Early May 2018 Retail: $125 + S & H Available Via Dealers Edition Size: 615 dolls Head Sculpt: Isha/Mlle. Jolie 1.0 Body Type: FR 6.0 Foot Sculpt: High-heeled Skin Tone: FR White Hair Color: Champagne Blonde Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied Quickswitch: No

The Story: Mademoiselle Jolie is the original "It" girl of Fashion Royalty! Together with the Perrins, she helped mold the world of FR. Here, she makes one of her rare appearances looking more stunning than ever, just waiting to get dressed for a ball or a lovely soiree lounging at home! Included: 12" fully articulated doll with fully rooted hair and hand-applied eyelashes Fashion (Teddy with contrasting lace appliqués and attached garter belts) Black opera length gloves Black thigh-high stockings Black pumps Jewelry (Earrings and bracelet) Doll stand

 I like the Betty Page pinup vibe. However, I am just not a big fan of this sculpt. She's a W Club lottery exclusive and looks like she will be shipping really soon.

Item # 91435 Fetish Fatale Véronique Perrin® Close-up Doll Fashion Royalty®: The Boudoir Collection Ships: Week of April 9th, 2018 Retail: $125 + S & H Available Via W Club Lottery Edition Size: 515 dolls Head Sculpt: Véronique 2.0 Body Type: FR 6.0 Foot Sculpt: High-heeled Skin Tone: Japan Hair Color: Raven Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied Quickswitch: No

The Story: In her delicate, red-hot lingerie set, fashion leader Véronique Perrin sets the tone as she channels seductresses from days past! Offering tons of re-dress possibilities, this fantastic close-up doll is the perfect glamour puss for your collection! Included: 12" fully articulated doll with fully rooted hair and hand-applied eyelashes Fashion (Bustier with garter belts and matching panties) Red gloves Red thigh-high stockings Red pumps Jewelry (Earrings, bracelet and necklace) Doll stand I love the red hair and short waves. Her makeup is gorgeous with the slightest hint of the "i'll cut you" look that I associate with this sculpt. The shorter hairstyles seem to be more rare even though I find them so much more versatile and work for both modern and vintage looks. Plus that dog. I'm a sucker for a dog accessory. I also like the color of the lingerie. I was happily confirmed for her and I'm feeling pretty chuffed about it. She seems to be the surprise favorite and the first to sell out from dealers. I know I was trying to skip mainline dolls this year in favor of club only dolls but...well...shhhh. I also did not get my hands on the Metamorphosis Erin (I was on the waitlist but did not get lucky)...so there's that. Item # 91436 Daydream Dasha d'Amboise™ Close-up Doll Fashion Royalty®: The Boudoir Collection Ships: Week of April 9th, 2018 Retail: $125 + S &H Available Via Dealers Edition Size: 515 dolls Head Sculpt: Dasha Body Type: FR 6.0 Foot Sculpt: High-heeled Skin Tone: Cream Hair Color: Pale Crimson Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied Quickswitch: No The Story: Elyse Jolie's best friend and confidante, Dasha d'Amboise is one of the top Parisian fashionistas. The queen of elegance, Dasha loves to relax at home with her absolutely adorable, perfectly groomed puppy, Jojo. Included: 12" fully articulated doll with fully rooted hair and hand-applied eyelashes Fashion (One-piece pale blue teddy with lace inserts) Pale blue open-toe satin pumps Jewelry (Earrings, bracelet and finger ring) Doll stand BONUS ACCESSORY: Dasha's lovely pet dog! Adele is stunning (as always). I'm always a fan of the Adele 2.0 sculpt. I am surprised at another Adele on the heels of the amazing Faces of Adele 2017 Club doll though. The platinum hair is very pretty with this new skin tone.  Item # 91437 Dollface Adèle Makéda® Close-up Doll Fashion Royalty®: The Boudoir Collection Ships: First Week of May 2018 Retail: $125 + S & H Available Via Dealers Edition Size: 615 dolls Head Sculpt: Adèle 2.0 Body Type: FR 6.0 Foot Sculpt: High-heeled Skin Tone: Sunkissed (new skin tone!) Hair Color: Platinum Blonde Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied Quickswitch: No The Story: W Cosmetics top model and lifelong friend of Véronique Perrin, Adèle Makéda shows everyone how delicate lingerie should be worn! Seen here for the first time in the new "Sunkissed" skin tone, Ms. Makeda is a must have for your collection! Included: 12" fully articulated doll with fully rooted hair and hand-applied eyelashes Fashion (Two-piece pink lace lingerie set with matching lace garter belt holder) Pale pink thigh-high stockings Pale pink high-heeled pumps Jewelry (Drop earrings, bracelet and finger ring) Pink cigarette holder and cigarette Doll stand Agnes, as always, slays. She looks great in this skin tone and would look swell paired with Nightfall from the 2013 convention. The low edition size for this W Club lottery doll has folks sweating. Seriously they likely would have sold out 1000 dolls without any trouble and still had people trying to scratch eyes out for her. Le sigh. I remain a little undecided right now. I like her but not sure I need her...but maybe if I got her I could trade her for Erin?  Hmmm.... Item # 91438 Vamp Agnes Von Weiss™ Close-up Doll Fashion Royalty®: The Boudoir Collection Ships: First Week of May 2018 Retail: $125 + S & H Available Via W Club Lottery Edition Size: 715 dolls Head Sculpt: Agnes Body Type: FR 6.0 Foot Sculpt: High-heeled Skin Tone: Light Honey Hair Color: Spiced Chocolate Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied Quickswitch: No The Story: Agnes Von Weiss is one of, if not the most controversial characters of the world of Fashion Royalty! Whether she is making a claim to her ancient noble ancestry or makes a bold statement about how she personally invented fake fur, one never knows what to expect with "The Baroness"... That's why she has become everyone's favorite socialite! Included: 12" fully articulated doll with fully rooted hair and hand-applied eyelashes Fashion (Three-piece high-contrast lingerie set) Black nylon thigh-high stockings Black and clear sling back heels Jewelry (Earrings and bracelet) Doll stand BONUS ACCESSORY: Luscious black faux-fur stole!
