Joyous Celebration Poppy Parker

For her fifth anniversary, Integrity Toys offered an exclusive Poppy Parker to W Club members, called Joyous Celebration. She's quite lovely.

She has facial screening similar to the ultra limited edition Bergdorf Goodman Poppy, and her hair styled in a neat, easy to maintain braided up-do.

Her gown is inspired by a vintage Francie outfit--DS-2240 Ballgown, only Poppy's has a pink underskirt (rather than orange), and the shoulders of her gown are styled different. She's a lovely doll.

I believe this doll was offered to every W Club member, so I'm not sure of her edition size. I bet I could find it on her certificate of authenticity--if only I could find her box!

Integrity Toys Lottery: That Holiday Feeling Poppy Parker

I can't believe I forgot to post this--but there was a lottery for a limited edition of 800 Poppy Parker doll, That Holiday Feeling, retail $120, who is currently in stock. W club members submitted their names to a drawing, and the lottery will be held December 15. Poppy will ship shortly thereafter.

This lovely doll has the FR white skin tone with black hair and green eyes, and lovely red lips. She's dressed in a wonderful white gown with embroidered bodice and red accents, and includes a red cape trimmed with "fur." She also includes lots of accessories: gloves, pearl jewelry, a clutch, muff, and red kitten heels.

Updates from W Club: Holiday Poppy sneak peek and more!

It's snowing Poppies! A sneak peek has been announced to W Club members: David Buttry announced the release of a holiday Poppy Parker doll to arrive this season, a raven-haired, green-eyed, red-lipped beauty. More details will follow by the end of the month.

The Integrity Toys convention next year will indeed be in Long Beach, California, October 22-24, 2015. The actual hotel has not yet been announced, and IT has asked members to refrain from calling hotels to ask for information, as the details have not yet been finalized.

Next, Alain is back from the last convention, which means The Doctor Is In. If you've been waiting to hear back about any doll-related issues, now is the time to contact patient care, and send a photo of your doll as well.

W Club registration for 2015 will begin after the holidays this year, beginning in early 2015.

W Club members were offered a lottery for several convention souvenir dolls that did not sell out on Thursday. The following dolls are still available and went go on sale (via lottery) through November 19 only:

• Jolt! ITBE $80
• Zing! ITBE $80
• Oomph! ITBE $80
• Dial "V" for Victoire Victoire Roux $110
• La Ville Lumiere Simonette Bertorelli $135
• After-hours Hanne Erikson $160
• Tantalizing Dominique Makeda workshop doll $135
• Evening Siren Ayumi $135
• Nocturnal Glow Veronique Perrin $150
• Grandiose Natalia Fatale $150
• Night Shade Kyori Sato $150
• Time Served workshop fashion figure $125

Additionally, limited quantities remain of both Sous Les Tropiques Victoire and High Visibility Agnes.

Finally, three more sneak peeks were offered of one of the final two club dolls of 2014, but, according to the W Club email, they need a spy who can focus the camera a little bit more clearly! I see some lemon yellow fabric, pale pink lips, and also some pale blue knit under white burlap. 

I realized that with the NuFace release, Eden and Lilith were conspicuously missing. I wonder if those two might be the final two dolls in the W Club release. Wouldn't that be amazing?

Fashion Explorer Vanessa, restyled

I've decided to take down Fashion Explorer Vanessa Perrin's hair--it was in a wrapped ponytail, also quite pretty. But I like her even more with her hair down, it turns out. I think I may straighten it a little as well in the future.

Here, she is dressed in several pieces from Vivid Impact Agnes' fashion, Polished Korinne's necklace (I think), and a belt from another FR2 fashion.

This doll was one of the upgrade dolls offered by the W Club this year.

W Club Luncheon - NuFace returns

Chrome Noir Erin Salston - giveaway doll, W Club luncheon

 NuFace was the theme of the W Club luncheon this year at the Integrity Toys convention. The dolls have gotten a body upgrade--with a better arm structure (similar to FR2) and a slightly more uplifted rear.

The giveaway doll was Chrome Noir. This lovely Erin has dark hair with a streak of brown, in a sequin shorts outfit.

Sensuous Affair Giselle Diefendorf - centerpiece

Additionally, Sensuous Affair Giselle Diefendorf was available for purchase. This centerpiece was available for all attendees for $150.

Evening Siren Ayumi N.

This doll is a brand new sculpt. A new body and a new look, too--Jason Wu collaborated with Vaughn to complete her look. She was also available at the W Club luncheon for purchase. I'm not sure about her price.

Tantalizing Dominique Makeda - official workshop doll

Rob's official workshop doll, this lovely doll Tantalizing was available in the salesroom (with the enrollment of a workshop), and she was also announced at the luncheon. (I think she's my favorite!)

OOAK Erin Salston

NuFantasy collection Erin, this one of a kind doll was available in the raffle room. She was inspired by Little Red Riding Hood.

OOAK Giselle Diefendorf

A little modern, a little disco, a little 70s, NuFace makes a comeback with this one of a kind Giselle, also offered as a raffle win.

New W Club doll announced: Vanessa Perrin Edge

The latest W Club doll has been announced: Edge Vanessa Perrin. She's the doll that won the advanced design competition at the Premiere convention last year, designed by Lisa Ramsammy. This doll will be offered for sale to the general public for $150. W Club members are allowed to order as many as they like, and receive a 10% discount. Her edition size is to be determined, as it will be based on the number of orders Integrity receives, and she will ship in late fall/early winter of this year.

The doll uses the latest Vanessa head sculpt in the FR White skin tone. She has platinum hair (Integrity calls it "luscious blond") and green eyes. Her accessories include chandelier earrings, a bracelet, black clutch and black and cream net pumps.

I'm a Vanessa fan--and I like all her different variations. This one is no exception, and I do need another blonde Vanessa in my collection, I think! Plus, to make her even harder to resist, a certain fellow blogger has a "thing" for white outfits on dolls, and I'm afraid I've caught the bug.

W Club exclusive Poppy Parker Doll has been announced

Integrity Toys has announced the second official W Club doll of 2014: Joyous Anniversary Poppy Parker. She is subtitled, Poppy Parker™ Fifth Anniversary Souvenir Doll, and retails for $120. She is available for preorder for W Club members only (one per member), and per club policy, pre-sales are not allowed. Her edition size is therefore not yet known.

She's estimated to ship in the fall of this year.

Her lovely gold brocade gown with pink petticoat is truly a nod to the 1960s fashion Poppy has come to represent. Her fashion is apparently inspired by a vintage Japanese Francie fashion, DS-2240, Ball Gown, from 1967, which was sold only on the Japanese market. (Thanks to Micheal Jarvis, for passing this info along, and saving me a lot of searching!)

Interestingly, I just did a post on dressing Poppy in vintage Francie fashions, and I think this doll is gorgeous! I'm thrilled to see this variation on a lovely fashion, made especially for Poppy.

Vintage Francie fashion, Japanese exclusive, DS-2240, Ball Gown 1967 from Dollreference.com

Differences between Francie's fashion and Poppy's are:

• Francie's has an orange taffeta under layer, versus Poppy's pink tulle petticoat.
• The bodice of Francie's dress has a halter top snap closure. Poppy's is a sophisticated, off-the-shoulder design, which gives hers a more sophisticated feel.
• Francie's fashion includes a string of pearls, and Poppy doesn't wear neck jewelry.
• Francie's fashion doesn't include earrings; Poppy wears significant rhinestone earrings, plus a matching bracelet.
• Francie's gloves are short white tricot versus Poppy's opera-length gloves.
• Francie's shoes and clutch are white versus Poppy's choice of pink.

This lovely doll uses the FR White skin town with applied lashes and beautiful grey eyes. She has a brunette braided updo, which I happen to like very much. (IT really can pull off these kind of braided updos without a hitch, and I am sure it will look neat and clean.) While not officially stated, I believe her facial screening is reminiscent of the ever-popular Bergdorf Poppy, and it's gorgeous and sophisticated.

Accessories are cute--matching pink kitten heels with bows, a pink clutch, rhinestone drop earrings and matching bracelet, and long white gloves. I'm sure she's going to be a hit with collectors!

High Visibility Agnes Von Weiss - W Club exclusive event doll

The W Club exclusive event doll is available for all W Club members, only through May 21. High Visibility Agness Von Weiss retails at $135 for this mini gift set. She will be shipped in the late summer 2013, and as all members are given an opportunity to order her, the edition size is not yet known.

Agnes appears on the new FR body with the Japan skin tone, rooted strawberry hair, and blue eyes with applied lashes. Her outfit includes a two-piece jacquard suit (the bustier laces up in the back), a faux-sued biker-inspired top, long mermaid skirt, and a pair of white strappy sandals and a pair of black sexy heels. Accessories include a straw hat, sunglasses, a large purse, hoop earrings, and three bracelets.

I love the versatility of this outfit, and that the pieces correspond with this year's safari-inspired FR collection. I have my own on order, and I bet she'll be popular.

Integrity Toys W Club exclusive: Victoire Roux Evening in Montreal

The first right-to-purchase W Club exclusive lottery doll of 2014 is here (for W Club member only), and it's a gorgeous platinum Victoire Roux called Evening in Montreal.

She's limited to 600, and was offered to members after the first Integrity Toys preview on February 12. She retails for $99 plus shipping and handling, and she will ship in the third week of this month.

She uses the FR white skin tone, has blue eyes and rooted platinum hair and applied lashes. She wears a strapless brown gown with brown net overlay in her tradition 1950s style. She includes matching faux leather gloves, a faux fur shrug, and gold open toe pumps, a hair comb, rhinestone drop earrings and pin.

I think she's one of the prettiest Victoire dolls offered yet!

She's here already--so fast! (I also entered for Isha, and didn't win her.)

Gold Glam is the first lottery event of the year, or perhaps the last event of 2013 Integrity Toys W Club, and she is limited to 300 dolls, and uses the Adele sculpt in tan skin with red hair.

It's that time again!

The Young Sophisticate Poppy Parker

It's that time again. The kids are back in school, and I'm getting back into the swing of things. Also, I'm going through a major crisis in my doll collection, and working on several books at the same time. Finding my doll budget wanting, I've found it necessary to list a few lovely dolls for sale on the DollPage Show & Sell page again. I hope it's OK to bug you, dear readers, with my first batch of listings.

Above, you'll see I've listed the latest W Club Poppy Parker exclusive. She's never been removed from her box and includes a cute little dog as well.

Irresistible Dania Zarr

Perhaps the tan skin, platinum haired beauty Dania Zarr is more to your taste? She is also NRFB.

Royal Amelie, pink hair version - FR Nippon

A rare find and one I'm not 100% sure I want to part with, I've listed pink hair variation Royal Amelie as well. She's been carefully displayed behind glass, but is complete and has never been redressed.

Captivating Anja - Fashion Royalty

 If fancy jewels and gowns are your style, check out Captivating Anja. She's a steal at $130.

Promenade Amelie - FR Nippon

Another Japanese exclusive and new arrival for me, Promenade Amelie. She's limited to just 300, and she has the same body as Poppy Parker.

Several other items I have listed include Lady in Waiting Dania Zarr, La Reine de la Nuit and Masquerade Magic (Dressmaker Details), both from the NBCC in New Orleans. Check out all my listings here.

Thanks for looking!

W Club Lottery - Victoire Roux Buenos Aires

W Club Members were invited to enter a lottery to win Buenos Aires, an exclusive IT Direct Exclusive Victoire Roux doll from the Christmas in July unveiling. She's limited to 600 and is priced at $99, with a delivery date of early August 2013.

She has the FR White skin tone, pale blonde hair and has hand applied lashes. She's wearing a New Look-inspired Dior fashion, it seems, and includes an umbrella prop.

W Club Exclusive Jem & the Holograms doll

The final W Club exclusive doll has been announced, and it's an exclusive Jem and the Holograms doll - Broadway Magic Jem. She retails for $119, and will be shipping in the fall of this year. W Club members have till June 17 to complete their orders for this doll, and every member is guaranteed the right to purchase one of these dolls. Edition size will be based on the number of orders received.

She includes a cardboard diorama backdrop which requires assembly (designed by Alain Tremblay), a wireless microphone, a fake love letter from Rio, tickets and the showbill to her debut show, and a ticket to Ellis Island.

Her outfit includes Jemstar earrings, pink pumps, and a strapless asymmetric gown with a white ruffle. Jem uses the Japan skin tone, side glancing blue eyes, and pink rooted hair in a partial up-do.

W Club Exclusive Victoire Roux Monte Carlo

This doll has rooted hair in an updo, applied lashes, and cat eye facial screening. She includes a lovely pink velvet swing coat, black ruffled satin gown, black chapeau, black gloves, a pearl necklace and matching drop earrings, heeled sandals, and a martini glass.

The Young Sophisticate Poppy Parker - first W Club exclusive

 The first W Club exclusive was announced last week, and it's a lovely Poppy Parker doll. She includes her new pet, Petunia. (I'm hoping to see a kitty addition to her family, too.)

Her names is The Young Sophisticate, and she retails for $119, with an estimated delivery date of late summer 2013. All W Club members are given the opportunity to purchase this doll with their membership--she is the first of five exclusives for the year.

She has lovely blonde hair pulled back from her face--and I love her giant curls. I hope the real-life doll looks as cute as the promotional photos. Her facial screening is neutral with cat eye-style liner, and she has brown side-glancing eyes--probably Poppy's best look--applied lashes, and pink lips.

I really like her outfit--it's a yellow textured dress with a black belt, pink coat, black stockings and black pumps with bows. Additionally, her accessories are wonderful: a black and white striped tote with pink accents and buckles (really done IT style), black sunglasses, oversized black stud earrings and a black ring. Her dog Petunia has a bow on her head and a collar with buckle and a tag.

Her outfit is surprisingly modern for Poppy--I think she will be a hit with collectors who love the 1960s era and contemporary style.
