This is old news at this point...but better late than never.
Integrity has announced plans for open edition dolls: meaning, when they sell out, they will get restocked. The started with East 59th and Meteor. While the idea is admirable in how it takes some of the bloodsport out of acquiring dolls, I don't love the $99 price point. I assume the whole concept is to make it easier for new collectors to get their hands on the dolls without having to offer your first born to your doll dealer. I (and others) speculate that this is a clever attempt to draw in the Barbie Silkie crowd who have been left high and dry and eager for a fix. Hence Integrity starting with East 59th as a logical draw. "But Aly, wouldn't Poppy have been a BIGGER draw?" you ask. Well yes...but it also would have led to a red wedding bloodbath. I think the choice of East 59th followed by Meteor enabled IT to do a soft rollout of the concept and make sure they didn't kill the website. That said, Keeki did sell out of the first batch so now interested buyers need to wait for a restock to get her or deal with the scalping bottom-feeders on eBay. I would have been more tempted by these had they been priced at $75-80 or come wearing more than a bathing suit. The Meteor dolls have better undies and accessories...also fun hair and different screening than we have had so far. Victoire is pretty but not different enough for me to bite.
