Integrity Toys Reveal August 18 2019

The Integrity Toy reveal which was posted to W Club members on August 17, 2019, included three Fashion Royalty dolls, one Industry Tulabelle, three Poppy Parkers, Tina Tanaka and one male.

The Fashion Royalty Boudoir Collection is being offered via a right-to-buy lottery and includes Kesenia, Natalia and Jordan wearing sexy lingerie. Each doll is $135.

The lingerie sets are very attractive; the dolls, meh. Still, tastes vary and there are enough to go around - 750 Jordans and 800 each of Kesenia and Natalia.

Kesenia uses the vampire sculpt that I detest. Her mouth is heavily shaded inside the lips to moderate the appearance of the vampire's teeth. Each doll comes with an extra pair of hands with long nails.

Early Kesenia sculpt. Was not named Kesenia at the time.

The Industry Tulabelle is a mini gift set consisting of a doll and two 12" sized outfits one of which mimics the previously made 16" Tulabelle outfit.
The other outfit is an embroidered, frilly, mini dress that makes her look like a Swiss school girl.
This doll is being offered via right-to-buy lottery and is priced at $155.

Poppy Parker The Girl From I.N.T.E.G.R.I.T.Y. Mission Brazil Capsule Collection

There are detailed backstories for the dolls in this collection.

First up are Poppy Parker and Tina Tanaka as double agents.
This is a two-doll gift set priced at $199. and will be sold via right-to-buy lottery.

The fashions and dolls are standard Poppy fare. The inclusion of a handgun is unacceptable. IT has made dolls with guns before and I didn't like it then, either. This time the guns are yellow, pink and blue.

Sergio Silva: Man of Mystery

IMO Buttry's strength is his male doll design skill. Sergio is a well-dressed guy with a good hairstyle. He comes with a saxophone! Perhaps that's his weapon.
I'm not a fan of the painted facial hair. It doesn't do anything for this doll or any other doll that I've seen with flat painted facial hair.
He will be available via Integrity doll dealers at $150.

Poppy Parker in Ipanema Intrigue

Bathing suit, terry cloth cover-up, big hat and sunglasses and a pink gun. Sigh.
Available via Integrity doll dealers at $135.

Poppy Parker in Rendez-Vous in Rio

She has a beautiful deep tone to her vinyl and wears a colorful Pucci-type print fashion.
Available via Integrity doll dealers at $145.

Summer Project: An Outdoor Photo of Every Integrity Toys Doll I Currently Own

Note: This is a revised version of the post I began on May 18, 2019. It occurred to me that instead of adding posts to the bottom of the page, I should add them to the top. Newest photos will now be at the top so no scrolling is necessary if you are following this post.

All photos have been taken with an iPhone X except as noted. Click on any photo to enlarge.

Dasha "Infallible" 2012
I don't remember who made the dress.

May 31—June 1, 2019

Kyori "QuickSilver" 2008
Wearing a OOAK by an artist I do not recall.

Kyori "Buena Sera" (re-rooted) (eye-lids repainted?) 2007
She is wearing a stunning embroidered gown originally worn by Eugenia "Ruffles and Blooms."
This gown was another less than popular item. I think it's gorgeous.

I think it's worth pointing out how much of a difference lighting makes. The two photos above were taken late in the day but the sun was still shining on the doll. Although I toned it down, Kyori's vinyl looks yellow.
These two photos were shot indoors using studio strobes. The color is accurate. Yes, this is the same doll you see dressed in yellow. On the left is how she looked originally.
Occasionally, when shooting in daylight out-of-doors, it's a good idea to use a fill flash to produce accurate color and for a few other reasons. Quicksilver's top photo uses fill-flash.

Poppy Parker "The Camera Loves Her" 2015
Dressed in her original fashion.
Strangely enough, this was not a popular doll. I love her. Perhaps it was her unique hair or something else. I seem to go against the flow with many dolls. She is my only Poppy Parker and will probably be that way for a long time.

May 30, 2019

Monogram "Disclosure" 2010
She is wearing part of her original outfit and is dressed this way because I am selling her.

Dasha "Anika Luxottica" 2016

Wearing "Inner Sparkle" Natalia's gown.

Anika is the most exotic and unusual IT doll. She came with android-like arms and legs along with standard parts.

Who were these Dashas? I had one early Dasha rerooted and one repainted. I scalped one and I do not have duplicates, yet these two dolls look completely alike. The gal in the black hair is wigged. This shall remain a mystery. A collector just suggested that they both are Renegade Dasha.

Dasha "Always Polished" Reroot? 2010
Her silk bustier was designed by me and made by Mio. The skirt is from Adele "Sound Advice."
