New Jem dolls for 35th Anniversary- Up & Rockin' Flip-Side Giftset

Gasp. Finally we get a reveal. I had already made a custom version of this outfit for myself (and I will confess that I like my version a little bit more...but this one is still swell). I do love that they gave us the necklace from the fashion.  (I wonder if that hints at the City Lights set as another upcoming flipside fashion since it uses the same necklace! ) I think this Jerrica is just gorgeous! I like the pink hair they used for Jem too. I am also absolutely wild about the packaging and box art.  It does tempt me to get a second one to display but...yeah...the world is a garbage fire and I have to pay for the convention, so that is likely not happening.

The lottery element to this release was unexpected and is causing a great deal of angst in an already angsty time. The fear is that people in the W Club will enter only to scalp the winning dolls to desperate Jem fans who were unlucky and did not win the opportunity to buy the doll.  If one misses out on this Jem via the W Club, then you have to take your chances on the secondary market or with the 100 dolls being sold at Sideshow for $50 more. Yikes. Either way is no bueno. Many clubbers were asking for extra entries.  I did not do that for fear I would win many and have to pay for the extras. I am taking my chance on just one entry. However, many awesome clubbers have vowed to offer extra wins to Jem fans at cost rather than send them to ebay. That is tangible good karma and I am there for it. 

Bonus part included!! Necklace to create the vintage toy look!

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
