Integrity Toys Gloss Convention Collection

Finally, I've got the remaining photos (I hope) from Integrity Toys Gloss convention. These are the dolls from the convention collection. Each attendee was given a ticket for each doll shown here, which allowed them the right to purchase one of each doll. After their given spot in the showroom, sales opened up, and remainders were offered to other attendees, so attendees were able to leave with multiples.

It isn't yet known if all the dolls have sold out, but usually there are some dolls leftover, which are then offered on Integrity Toys website. I believe these dolls sold for $125 at convention, but have a retail price of $150. Discounts were also offered to attendees who purchased the entire collection in advance and had the dolls shipped home. Each of the convention dolls were limited to 500.

Above, it's Nocturnal Glow Vanessa Perrin. She uses the current Vanessa sculpt.

Grandiose Natalia Fatale uses the current Natalia sculpt. You'll notice the Gloss theme is sort of a 1970s/disco inspired theme, which is sort of consistent through this collection.

 

Kyori Sato makes an appearance as Nightshade in a dramatic black gown here. She uses the current Kyori sculpt as well.

No convention collection would be complete without Eugenia Frost, who makes an appearance in Cold-Shoulder. This ice blue dress is sort of a modern interpretation of disco, I think.

My favorite of all the convention collection is Vanessa Perrin in Adorned. She has gorgeous auburn curls in a Farrah Fawcett feathers, and is wearing a sky blue chiffon gown with a deep-V neckline.

Another lovely doll from this collection is Dark Moon Poppy Parker. She sold out very quickly, one of my friend told me, and she's lovelier in person than she is in the promo photos.

A surprise addition to the collection is La Ville Lumiere (The City of Lights) Simonette Bertorelli, a friend to Victoire Roux. She is a new sculpt but has the same body as Victoire.

Tropicalia convention collection

The Tropicalia convention collection did not disappoint. Overall, I noticed a lot of nice jewelry accents, lots of great shoes, colorful prints, fun mix-n-match pieces, bold color combinations, and some interesting repeated mesh-over-satin bodices that have grown on me.

Let me introduce each of them to you, and then I'll give you my impressions.

Lady in Red Erin S.
A recently refreshed face, her hair is really soft and her mouth is closed (!). The first thing I noticed about this doll is her eyes. At first, I have to confess I wasn't thrilled with her super-low cut outfit (seeing the under-breast articulation isn't my favorite thing), but she's really adorable.

All White Now Collette D.

Interesting cut-outs on this asymmetric gown, Collette isn't in your basic white gown. Her hair was styled gorgeously on display, and her shoes! Oh my. I think they are my favorite.

Haute Société Véronique Perrin
Classic soft facial screening, Barbie blonde and blue-eyed, Vero's outfit is really lovely. It's a two-piece blouse and skirt, in gorgeous pastels, with the mesh overlay on the blouse that you'll see repeated in the Fashion Royalty line. Chunky jewelry and a fabulous bag complete this look.

Main Event Adele Makéda
Adele's reviews were mixed (from what I overheard in the salesroom), but I adore her wild hair. Again, the mesh overlay is seen on her structured asymmetric dress, and it includes great details, like a belt, and some fabulous hourglass seaming. The softer colors were a lovely surprise.

Peak Season Kyori Sato
Dressed for a casual day shopping, a lovely blonde Kyori (is this a refreshed sculpt?) makes an appearance in higher waisted slacks, and a sleeveless blouse with a mesh panel. Again, we see repeated floral themes in her jewelry, and a fabulous bag.

I have to confess--I'm not usually a huge Kyori fan, but I really love this doll.

Sweet Victory Natalia Fatalé
Bolder red mixed with soft pastels, this outfit is really cute. I love the embroidered on the suit jacket, and the details of the "alligator" purse. Natalia has a softer facial screening in the eyes, I think, and casually styled long wavy hair.

Infallible Dasha FR:Squared
Fabulous accessories and shoes combined with a bold royal blue draped dress give Dasha an elegant feel. Her hair is also surprisingly casual and down--but I think it's a nice overall look. The gown is just amazing.

Hot Dots Poppy Parker gift set
The most highly anticipated doll for me--Poppy didn't disappoint. She looks more grown up and a little more sultry with her hair pulled back and more sleepy facial screening. She includes a shorts set, bag, and swimsuit, plus wedge shoes and lots of jewelry.
