Perfect Match Gift Set- Jem and the Holograms 35th Anniversary from Integrity Toys

Well...this was unexpected to say the least.  We had been given a sneak of the super cool stand and we all assumed we were getting the Holograms. Literally NOBODY was expecting (nor wanting) this set.  I don't hate it. But I definitely don't love it. Did I buy it?  Well, yes. I had planned to skip it...but then decided I needed the great stand and Jem's outfit.  At $300 for WClub members, it was a really great deal for three dolls and I figured I can sell what I don't want. I don't need another Rio and I did not need a new sculpt. The Milo sculpt is nice though...so if you don't have the OG Rio, then this could be welcome. Riot is a great sculpt. I already have one that I love so I don't really need another. The outfit is over the top and fun...I might keep that. Many have pointed out that this Riot could be a great start to re-creating that swell OOaK Karl Lagerfeld Monarch from the last convention. So hmmmm. The Rock and Curl Jem is fine. Cute and a little basic. But I like the creative liberty with the bubble skirt.  Feels extra 80s. I would have loved her hair a bit longer like the original doll.  I love the stand. So fun.  I want more stands like this.  I just got a glowforge at work and might try to make my own stands like this...or I might cast this one and make more out of resin.  Anyway, I think you might still be able to buy this set at Sideshow.

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 t...

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.

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...
