New FR: Nippon from Integrity Toys!

I'm personally rather thrilled to announce two new additions to Integrity's FR:Nippon line--these girls go on sale December 9, 2014 at the FR:Nippon site. This is on Tokyo Time, so keep this time difference in mind.

The dolls are limited to just 300 each, retail for 17,000 Japanese Yen (about $140 plus shipping), and to order, you'll want to email Chiaki, whose email will be listed on the website. (For other IT collectors--these girls share the same body as Poppy Parker.)

Above, it's Darling Girl Misaki. She's an adorable brunette with rooted eyelashes and blue eyes. She will ship next week (the week of December 15). She's dressed in a rather fantastic striped chiffon dress, lace-trimmed coat, tights, red shoes, bag and silver hoop earrings.

Party Girl Amelie also makes an appearance with her friend Misaki. She's got auburn hair, and green eyes with rooted lashes. She's wearing faux leather shorts over fishnets, a turtleneck sweater neck under a cute patterned jacket, and has a nice purse, boots and silver earrings.

She too is available to preorder (probably later today) and will ship December 15.

New Clothing Posted to Clear Lan Web Site

Coat from the new collection. Photo property of Clear Lan.

Clear Lan, a doll clothing designer and manufacturer, just posted new items to their web site. Our very own Shuga introduced me to their product last year and I just can't get enough of their clothing. They make clothing to fit Misaki, Momoko, La Ti Yellow, and Blythe. Since their clothing is sized to fit Misaki, that means Poppy Parker can wear it, which is good news since Poppy has become my go to fashion doll.

Previously, the only way to have items shipped from Clear Lan was via EMS, which can be quite expensive. For that reason, several of us would pool our orders and send in one super order so that we could share the shipping cost. However, recently Clear Lan added Registered Air Parcel as a shipping option which is considerably less expensive. Now I can order items any time I want!  That may be a good thing, or a bad thing.  Good for me and my dolls, bad for my budget.

Poppy in Clear Lan

Why do I love Clear Lan on Poppy so much? I know that Poppy's back story is that she's a teenage model in the early to mid '60s and I love her styled that way. I also feel, like many people, that Poppy has a fresh, young personality that fits with many of today's clothing styles and I believe that Clear Lan hits that mark with their designs.

Here Endless Summer Poppy was photographed at Disney's California Adventure (DCA) last week wearing a sleeveless black turtle neck knit shirt, brown short sleeved cowl neck knit shirt, and cropped and cuffed denim jeans all from Clear Lan.  The jewelry is from Ask Any Girl Poppy Parker gift set and the black plastic booties are from a Liv outfit.
