New Jem doll Alert: Roxy Rumbles Set

So, of the hundreds of Jem doll potential variations, nowhere on my lists are these two versions of Roxy. I know that Millionaire Roxy was ranked high on the Jem wishlist poll done by the W Club a couple years ago.  Personally, I am more interested in getting fashions that are in more than one episode.  And while Roxy has definitely had fewer releases than both Pizzazz and Stormer, I am not sure that I needed TWO.  All my kvetching aside, I do LOVE the Hasbro screening.  Totally in love with it. The outfits look really well done and I was lucky enough to win the right to buy.  But yeah, two dolls seems overkill.  Especially when we REALLY need another Synergy.  And I think another Zipper and non-hideous Eric would sell well.  I am also still dreaming of another Danse release with a different sculpt and without a shovel face and with more colorful hair (mine has that caved in face thing happening).  I want an ice skating version!  

I am still holding out on a Synergy doll with some sort of Synergy console structure coming. I also hope they throw us a bone and give us a replacement Jem pink dress since nearly everyone's is peeling by this point. 

Also, does anyone else feel that these photos are not the best?

The Story:

Inspired by a long-time fan-favorite JEM AND THE HOLOGRAMS TV show episode, Integrity Toys designers Vaughn Sawyers and Alain Tremblay, in collaboration with Hasbro, are thrilled to bring you the next truly outrageous two-doll gift set in the collection!

Tired of her bandmates' antics and constant nagging over the fact that she has yet to learn how to read, Misfits guitarist Roxanne Pelligrini decides to quit the band, hoping to teach everyone around her a lesson they wouldn't forget! Lucky for her, a lottery ticket quite literally flew into her bouffant, teased up 80s do, turning Roxy into the woman she's always wanted to be: a glamorous, rich, and respected celebrity!

After spending a truly outrageous sum at the world-famous "House of Glamour" for a complete makeover, Roxy purchases a flamboyant new convertible sports car and drives back home to Philly! Mayhem soon ensued, and hoping that she would hear her message about the importance of literacy, Jem herself has to come to Roxy's rescue to save her from an overzealous IRS representative! In a tale of "rags to riches, back to rags", will this over-the-top rock star ever learn a lesson in humility? Now you too can re-create the episode with two, distinct, flamboyant looks, along with show accurate accessories that all JEM AND THE HOLOGRAMS fans will cherish for years to come!

Included:

Two 12.5" fully articulated fashion dolls with fully rooted hair and hand-applied eyelashes, featuring distinct makeup inspired by both the TV show and the original Hasbro toy line from the 1980s;

Misfits Roxy:
Rockin' 80s daytime dress, inspired by a look often worn by Roxanne Pelligrini on the hit TV show;
Earrings; Shimmering stockings; Black high-heel pumps with ankle strap detail;
Purple and black shoulder bag; TV show inspired paper accessories ("notice of damage" invoice, winning lottery ticket, and lots of play money); Pair of regular hands; Alternate pair of "gloved" hands;
Commemorative neon pink acrylic doll stand.

Millionaire Roxy:
Glamorous, hot pink couture gown; Matching opera length "gloves" (painted "gloved" hands with satin upper part); TV show inspired jewelry set composed of an opulent necklace, bracelets, and matching dangle earrings; Pink satin open-toe high-heels; Two "House of Glamour" shopping bags;

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
