NU Face Counter Culture IT 2018 Collection
Inspired by the Indian Holi Festival of Color-meets Rave fashion-meets fetish sub-culture, Jessy Ayala presents a creative but polarizing collection featuring some old faces and intricate high-low fashion play. I love the photography work for this collection!

The Story:
When his favorite music video producer called to ask if the NU. Face agency could send a team of beautiful people to "S & M" (stand and model) in perhaps one of the most controversial and edgy music videos ever put on film, Lukas' curiosity was immediately tickled. Once he found out what singer the music video was for and just how big a controversy this would create, he knew right then and there that he needed to jump back in front of the cameras and be an integral part of this experience himself, along with his favorite girls!
Included:
12.75-inch fully articulated fashion figure;
Black faux-leather biker hat with neon green trim detail;
Black jersey asymmetric draped T-shirt;
Electric blue shorts with eyeball design;
Black socks;
Black faux-leather men's sock garters;
Shiny black faux-leather shoes with contrasting soles;
Black and neon yellow fetish faux-leather bracelet;
Black and neon yellow fitted boxer brief underwear;
Henna tattoo on left forearm;
Painted on gloved hands;
Alternate pair of hands with henna tattoo design on right hand;
Silver septum nose ring;
Doll stand;
Certificate of authenticity.
Lukas is no doubt a killer sculpt and I love the look of him. Note the blushed nipples, that great 'shaved head' effect, and those briefs are amazing. He is totally channeling a Tom of Finland thing with the leather daddy motorcycle cap and the patent leather sock garters. I am resisting this one though. Something about him doesn't do it for me. He is wildly popular though and will likely sellout in no time (if he hasn't already).

Violaine Perrin™ Doll
NU. Face™:
The Counter-Culture Collection
Approx. Ship Date: December
Suggested Retail: $150.00 US Available Via Dealers
Edition Size: 850
Head Sculpt: Violaine 1.0 (Formerly Vanessa 2.0) New Character!
Body Type: NU. Face 3.0
Foot Sculpt: High-heeled
Skin Tone: FR White
Hair Color: Platinum Blonde
Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied
Quickswitch: No
The Story:
When Véronique Perrin called her friend Lukas to announce that her youngest sister wanted to become a model, they both agreed that the budding fashionista would need to be kept in check, knowing full well that eventually, her taste for anything "edgy" would get her in trouble.
While the Perrins weren't exactly thrilled to learn that their daughter's first assignment would be to take part in this particular production, just seeing Violaine so happy, looking stunning and then realizing that this exposure would instantly make her a household name changed their minds. How could they say no to any of their gorgeous daughters?
Included:
12.5-inch fully articulated doll with fully rooted hair and hand-applied eyelashes;
Convertible cargo cropped denim pants;
Long sleeve top with drape/hood detail;
Iridescent scarab-colored paillette jacket;
Short metallic socks;
Royal blue faux-leather boots with light gold pierced detail,
Neon yellow "patent leather" purse with strap/harness detail;
Multiple bracelets and rings;
Neon yellow/aqua faux-leather choker with "gold" hardware;
Light "gold" star/moon earrings;
2 tiny hoop earrings on top of right ear;
Nose ring, light "gold" hoop (removable);
Doll stand;
Certificate of authenticity.
Fauxnessa 2.0 is re-born as a Perrin little sister. Those pants are crazy intricate and evidently can convert into crops or shorts. This outfit is a little much for me as a whole though. I'm tired of the genie-hair ponytail look but the eye screening is great on her. The nose ring is removable FYI. I will be skipping this one.

The Awakening
Annik Vandale™ Doll
NU. Face™:
The Counter-Culture Collection
Approx. Ship Date: December
Suggested Retail: $150.00 US
Available Via Dealers
Edition Size: 950
Head Sculpt: Annik
Body Type: NU. Face 3.0
Foot Sculpt: High-heeled
Skin Tone: Dark A-tone
Hair Color: Raven
Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied
Quickswitch: No
The Story:
After a single audition, it was clear that Annik had to be picked as lead dancer for the music video; her perfect rhythm, gorgeous exotic features and unique style placed her miles ahead of the competition! So much so, that the producers decided to make her a focal point of the production by giving her several dance solos.
Those scenes quickly became some of the most talked about segments of the 10 minute long opus and from that point on, Annik became one of the most sought after music video performers of all time!
Included:
12.5-inch fully articulated doll with fully rooted micro-braids and hand-applied eyelashes;
Faux-leather biker hat with neon trim detail;
Oversized sweater dress with contrasting neon art;
Neon painted fingerless gloves (neon yellow and pink);
Black thigh-high organza boots;
"Silver" large hoop earrings;
"Silver" third eye ring;
Doll stand;
Certificate of authenticity.
Important Note: The jewel on Annik's face is not-removable. Removing the jewel will damage the doll permanently and void the warranty.
I've been wanting Annik for awhile now. I love the braids and screening on this one. I even love the blue lips. I'm thinking of making her an android pal for Dasha. I'm not loving the boots but usually tall weird boots re-sell nicely.

Skin Tone: Sunkissed
Hair Color: Pale Honey Blonde
Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied
Quickswitch: No
The Story:
To complement her role as the young, trendy, star struck ingenue in the video's background story line, the production' stylists selected an ultra-vibrant look that would totally complement Colette's warm and sensuous skin-tone, making her lovely features "glitter" like never before! Colette couldn't be happier; the choice of wardrobe was perfect and it allowed her to feel comfortable enough to deliver a spot-on performance!
Included:
12.5-inch fully articulated doll with fully rooted hair and hand-applied eyelashes;
Bright pink fur coat with multi-color metallic tinsel woven in;

I liked Collette 2.0 but I know lots of people are quite pleased to see the 1.0 sculpt return. The mermaid vibe is working here but I am passing on this one. Lord Jessy does love the tall boots. I do love the jewelry on all of these. Bangles for days.

Dominique Makeda™ Doll
NU. Face™:
The Counter-Culture Collection
Approx. Ship Date: December
Retail: $150.00 US Available Via Dealers
Edition Size: 950
Head Sculpt: Dominique 2.0
Body Type: NU. Face 3.0
Foot Sculpt: High-heeled
Skin Tone: FR Black
Hair Color: Dark Caramel
Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied
Quickswitch: No
The Story:
The production's designers came up with a fun, completely out-of-the-box look that only Dominique Makeda could pull off for her part in the role of the fashionable goddess who was meant to give her blessings to the young ingenue of the story.
Full of self-confidence, Dominique opted to go off on a tangent and play her part with defiance and bravado, instead of being stoic and demure like the script called for. So much so, that the director had to call cut a few times in an attempt to reel Dominique "back-in", begging her to stay on script. Thankfully, Dominique's instincts paid off and her memorable performance is still talked about today!
Included:
12.5-inch fully articulated doll with fully rooted hair and hand-applied eyelashes;
Long over-sized puffy coat (dark berry color);
Satin top with neon colored -digital print art;
Dark jean pants with attached neon green leather corset, sleeve wrap detail and pierced sleeve detail;
Short "patent leather" boots with glitter detail;
Star/moon/third eye jewelry (asymmetric earrings, layered bracelets with stars/moons);
Bright pink slim sunglasses;
Pale violet purse with spike stud detail;
Doll stand;
Certificate of authenticity.
I like the puffer coat and the pants are nifty. I am always amazed at how they execute these things at a small scale. The screening is cool but feels pretty limiting when you think about future redress options. Her hair is also in the genie look...oye.
