Legendary 2020 IT Convention Style Lab Recap Part One: The Dolls

Well, I managed to secure a complete style lab from someone so I have the whole lot coming my way...which is great because I love the fashions and at least three of the dolls.  ACCESSORY PACKS FOR THE WIN!!!!  Anyway...thoughts about the dolls below. I am not feeling the 'mugshots' on the presentation.  I get the feeling this was all a little rushed this year. I think these will be better in hand. I was not expecting this many 1.0 sculpts, but I will get into that below. $60 for a nude doll is basically a steal even if you plan to toss the head in the trash...so all in all, this is a great style lab. There was A LOT of whining on the boards about the 1.0 dolls and fashions.  I don't understand the hate on the fashions. I do understand that no one really was screaming for Adele and Natalia 1.0 sculpts to come back (especially without updating the screening in a significant way).  But they still have their fans I guess.

Alain said this was based on a popular and much requested prototype doll made for a magazine cover in 2003.  Fun hair color and dramatic screening, but I am not a Vero fan. Not planning to keep her.

Body Type: FR 6.0
Foot Sculpt: High-heeled
Skin Tone: A-Tone
Hair Color: Black Velvet
Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied
Quickswitch: No

I think the hair actually works for this doll...but I am not sure the eye screening does. I do like the A Tone skin color a lot.  But I am not keeping this one either. I already have three Adeles (2.0x2, 3.0x1).  I try not to repeat more than that.

Item # 91486
Radiant Soul

I like the face but not sure I love the hair color. I also love the cream skin-tone.  I might reroot her in a smokey lavender grey color.  Possibly Keeping. I don't have any Kyori dolls yet so there is no rule violation here.

Item # 91487

This one is probably my least favorite of the batch. I think this eye screening is a little praying mantis looking. Not keeping.

Item # 91488
Body of Work
Isha Kalpana Narayanan™ Nude Doll
The 2020 Integrity Toys 25th Anniversary Convention: Legendary
Fashion Royalty® Collection Style Lab

Hair Color: Darkest Brown
Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied
Quickswitch: No
I LOVE HER!  This has been the Isha that I have been waiting for. She's gorgeous. Perfection. Her eye is a little squinty in the photo which Alain said was due to a wonky eyelash. I am hoping that won't be the case with mine. But yeah, I think she is lovely. I love that she has a deeper skin tone too as I did not love the fair Isha from the Sacred Lotus collection. She is pretty similar in look to the recent Boudoir Agnes (who I don't have.) KEEPING.

Exotic Interlude

Cute but not for me. They did a nice job with this one but I don't love the hair. Not keeping her.

Item # 91490
Social Standing
Mademoiselle Margaret Jolie™ Nude Doll
The 2020 Integrity Toys 25th Anniversary Convention: Legendary
Fashion Royalty® Collection Style Lab
Limited Edition: 400 Dolls

Head Sculpt: Isha 1.0
Body Type: FR 6.0
Foot Sculpt: High-heeled
Skin Tone: Hungarian
Hair Color: Caramel Blond
Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied
Quickswitch: No
I like this one.  I am considering using her in Poppy's world as an older model.  I think she'd be great in late 60s early-70s clothing. I like the Hungarian skin tone with this mixed color hair. I wonder if I have a Hungarian poppy or Industry body to stick her on...or maybe they will offer them for dolly days? KEEPING.
Item # 91491
Red Reign
Korinne Dimas™ Nude Doll
The 2020 Integrity Toys 25th Anniversary Convention: Legendary
Fashion Royalty® Collection Style Lab
Limited Edition: 400 Dolls

Special Convention Price: $60.00
Head Sculpt: Korinne
Body Type: FR 6.0
Foot Sculpt: High-heeled
Skin Tone: Cream
Hair Color: French Cognac
Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied
Quickswitch: No
Gorgeous.  I don't have a Korinne yet and I really like how this one looks with the cream skin and the hair. The coral lips and the brows are amazing. She looks very classic with a bit of vintage starlet glam. I bet she would pair nicely with the Marveillouse Agnes who also had that classic beauty thing happening. Very happy to be KEEPING her.

Item # 91492
Violet Obsidian
Vanessa Perrin® Mystery Build-A-Doll
The 2020 Integrity Toys 25th Anniversary Convention: Legendary
Fashion Royalty® Collection Style Lab
Limited Edition: 400 Dolls
Expected Ship Date: Late Nov.

*Bonus Mystery Build-A-Doll: Doll Not Available for Purchase Separately
Head Sculpt: Vanessa 1.0
Body Type: FR 6.0
Foot Sculpt: High-heeled
Skin Tone: Japan
Hair Color: Platinum
Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied
Quickswitch: No
Once again, they have a build-a-doll. I had guessed it might be an Elyse...but in retrospect the original Vanessa seems like the obvious choice. However, I have yet to love a Vanessa. I don't know what it is about her, but I never seem to keep her. Everyone else will be wanting her so...not a problem.  I might use her as a trade for something I want.  Not keeping.

So that's three for sure keepers (Isha, Jolie, Korrine) and one maybe with a reroot (Kyori).  I have already sold the rest save for Vanessa and Vero at cost minus the build a doll component.
