***Update! I won the blonde. I am shook. I am waiting to pay for her along with the convention bounty coming this weekend. I fear I will be too afraid to take her out of the box for a bit.
Welcome to the Thunderdome. 2000+ Poppy collectors enter...with a potential for only 800 to leave with a doll. However, we know it will be much less since, with any lottery doll, W Club members might have multiple memberships or trade for additional chances. Here we have two dolls limited to 400 of each. Brutal. It would have been a brutal lottery even at 1000 pieces. Of course, there are bound to be many mercenaries entering only to flip the dolls for a profit (and then have Integrity drop-ship them directly to the buyer). Once someone wins a right-to-buy lottery, of course they can do whatever they want (within the w club rules). However, I find it distasteful myself and inviting bad karma. I am a judgey bitch evidently...so much so that I use the 'block' feature on the forum to help me remember which members engage in "scalping-adjacent" activities so that I know to think twice about being helpful to that member in the future. Everyone has reasons why they might sell a doll and everyone is free to sell a doll for whatever price they want. In turn, buyers are free to buy a doll at whatever price they are willing to pay. I am also free to want fairness and generosity to be more important than profit. (Soap-box).
As with all recent Jason Wu designed dolls lately, the price point is gag-worthy. Priced at $175, these are slim on accessories and don't have the velvet touch. Comparatively, the recent IFDC Viva Poppy gift-set had three complete outfits and a cute bag for only $185. The dress design is a call back to the original Bergdorf Goodman
"Fashion's Night Out" Poppy. I actually love the cut of both the dress and the coat. Some think it is boxy and frumpy. I disagree. It has a classic retro look to me and the coat reminds me of the Sabrina Chauffeur's Daughter gift-set coat. I also love the signature heavy Bergdorf brow screening combined with the long braid. Both dolls are gorgeous, but I am drawn more to the Blonde FR White this time around as I am not in love with that pink lip on the Brunette FR Black. I entered for blondey but won't be busted up if (when) I don't win. Convention is right around the corner...more dolls are coming.
