Integrity Toys is coming to Long Beach, California

Great news for us West Coasters--I'm thrilled to let you all know that Integrity Toys convention will be held in Long Beach, California in 2015. No news on which hotel, yet, nor on the exact dates, but it should be slightly less expensive (I should think) than Beverly Hills in 2013.

IT Direct dolls and Workshop doll - Gloss convention

The IT Direct dolls worked a little differently this year than in years past. Each attendee was given tickets to purchase every doll this time--so everyone got an equal chance for every doll this year. (I hope they keep this up--that's a great idea!).

There was a little confusing on the email as to which were which from these basic editions, but I believe the doll in orange is actually Oomph! I'm not sure what sculpt she is, but she might be Ayumi on the Poppy Parker body.

Both Jolt! and Zing! use the Amelie face in tan skin with blonde hair, and I think Zing! is the one in Aqua. I love both of these girls. I'm pretty sure Oomph, Zing and Jolt retailed for $75 per doll, but I didn't attend, so I'm not certain.

This is Jolt! I believe, who also uses the Amelie face sculpt. I think she is on the original FR: Nippon/Poppy Parker body.

Dial "V" for Victoire is the Victoire Roux character from convention, and offered to all attendees.  She has a unique outfit which includes several versatile pieces for styling opportunities, silver jewelry, pumps and boots. I'm not sure of her price, but I think she was around $100.

Hanne Erikson makes an appearance as Afterhours in a lovely navy sequined gown, with a tan skin tone, blonde hair, and brown eyes. I don't know her original price.

Of course every IT convention needs at least two Poppy Parker dolls, and this one is the IT Direct version, Wild Thing. I believe she was $100. She is also quite pretty in person.

Time Served is a workshop doll offered for one of the workshops offered during the convention. Again, I'm sorry to say I don't know his original price.

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.

Friday night Party, and Saturday Gala - Integrity Toys Gloss convention

Illustrious Luxury Wear

Attendees were given the lovely Illustrious outfit as a freebie at the Friday night party--it appears to be a red variation of the centerpiece Vanessa's purple outfit. I believe this has a retail value of $50 from IT.

Intrique Elise Jolie

The centerpiece at Saturday night's Gala was called Intrigue, and is a platinum Elise Jolie with blue eye and pale lips. She's dressed in a black jumpsuit. She sold for $150.

Intimate Reveal Agnes Von Weiss

The official convention souvenir doll, according to a W Club email I received, anyway (it is a little hard to tell if it's Agnes, Erin or Adele this year) was also revealed at the Saturday evening gala. It's Intimate Reveal Agnes Von Weiss. She's dressed in a fancy black and nude gown, with a sexy of a lingerie-inspired feel. Agnes has her dark hair pulled back in a simple pony, and her hazel eyes have smokey screening and she features pale lips. She's quite a doll--I've always loved Silver Zinger Agnes, and she looks a lot like this doll, in my opinion.

Poppy Parker Luncheon - Integrity Toys convention

Angel in Blue Poppy Parker centerpiece

Attendees of the Gloss convention were greeted by the lovely (and rather uniquely 70s styled) Angel in Blue centerpiece doll, limited to 300.  She has huge blonde curls, red lips, double winged liner, red lips, a white faux fur shrug over a sequined low-necked jumpsuit--quite risqué for Poppy.

Starlight Poppy Parker - giveaway doll

Also rather surprising is the giveaway doll for the event--she's just stunning. Limited to 500, since all attendees received one for free--it's a gorgeous redhead with green eyes and double winged liner again, soft pink lips (reminding me of one of the the original debut Poppy, Summer Magic). She's dressed in a lovely shimmering belted shirtdress/trench with blue tights, and gold shoes.

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.

Integrity Toys Gloss convention

Conventioneers were welcomed with the official welcome doll Gloss, an ITBE exclusive doll. I believe she uses the Erin face sculpt, limited to 500--as the number of registered attendees was also 500.

I'm adding here that this doll uses the original NuFace body, not the updated one, as the W Club luncheon was the debut of the new NuFace body, and they didn't want the surprise to be spoiled!

The table centerpiece for the first dinner is Sheer Sensuality, and she uses the original Vanessa Perrin face sculpt, much to my surprise. She's quite pretty, and limited to 350 dolls. Convention centerpiece dolls usually sell for about $150 each.

Guests were also given Le Smoking, a limited edition of 500 Adele Makeda official Gloss souvenir doll. She's dressed in an amazing white satin suit with a marabou boa--and it wasn't until I saw this doll that the 1970s inspiration of the convention finally came together.

Tonner launches GWTW souvenirs tomorrow!

Tonner Doll will be offering the 2014 Gone with the Wind exclusives from the Atlanta mini convention tomorrow. Watch your inbox and Facebook for the link announcement, as quantities are limited.

Tonner convention dolls for sale!

You can pick up several convention dolls from Tonner's website today. I've noticed increased prices (or maybe I just haven't been paying attention), but they seem to have more accessories (jewelry, hats and more detailed outfits) and slightly smaller edition sizes.

As of this post, Cinderella is in stock and available to ship. She's part of the Re-Imagination collection. She uses the Kay face sculpt on the new 16" Chic body in the cameo skin tone, with rooted blonde hair and painted blue eyes. I think she's quite pretty. She is wearing clear pumps under her huge gown. She's limited to 150 with a retail of $215. If she weren't quite so pricey and her dress were just a bit smaller, I'd pick her up for my own collection.

Next, the Victorian Social centerpiece dolls are available. The centerpiece set of three is in stock for $495 (shipping on 5/27). Victorian Social Jon is $185, LE 100, with raven hair, brown eyes and the honey skin tone. Victoriam Social Cami is also $185, LE 200, with a blonde updo and blue eyes. Victorian Holiday (Captain Paul sculpt) is on the Matt O'Neil body with rooted mink hair. He is limited to 100.

Victorian Basic Cami is in stock for $129, and she's limited to 250. She's the Antoinette body with green eyes and rooted chestnut hair. I think she's very sweet, and I'm tempted--I think she'd be fun for redressing. (I love updos!)

American Model Milady is limited to 100 and retails for $350. She is dressed in a renaissance era gown, has green inset eyes, applied lashes, and wigged raven hair. Her gown will also fit Peak's Woods Absolute Beauty BJDs and similarly sized dolls with small waists.

The debut of Tonner's newest collection is Carmen Dell'Orefice. She is limited to 200 for $210. She's on the new Chic body, cameo skin tone with platinum hair and blue eyes. Her outfit is a grey knit dress and matching jacket with faux fur cuffs and collar, jewelry, satin shoes, silver necklace, and rhinestone earrings. I'm excited to see what else follows in this collection.

The convention doll is Lady Arabella Bertran, featuring the Deja Vu sculpt and body in cameo skin tone, strawberry hair, and blue eyes with applied lashes. She's limited to 300 and retails for $215.

Lady Action is another brand new body, the 16" Fit body, in cameo skin tone, with the Tyler 2.0 head sculpt with blue eyes and mink wigged hair. She comes with weapons: a gun with holster and a sword. She's limited to 1000 (a large edition size) and retails for $199. I think she'd be great for redressing--and check out those fabulous boots!

Limited to just 150, this Wonder Woman outfit is sized for the 16" Fit body, and retails for $99. It's based on the original DC Stars look, and include a wig, gauntlets and lasso, too. I'm thinking that this wig (and outfit on Lady Action would pretty much make a perfect Wonder Woman doll!

Correcting my earlier post--Fifteen Years, the 15-year Tyler anniversary doll, uses the original 16" BW body in the cameo skin tone. She has rooted copper brown hair with painted blue eyes, and a lace gown. Tonner's description reads, "red lace dress with glitter and rhinestone decoration at the waist," but I don't see much glitter--maybe just a little in the tulle belt. (I'm not a huge fan of glitter--it gets on everything!) At any rate, she's limited to 250 and retails for $225.

I think these dolls are quite lovely--my favorites are Carmen and Victorian Basic, but I haven't decided that I need to add any to my collection at the moment. I'm interested in hearing more about the new body styles, though!
