Color Infusion Style Lab: 2015 Cinematic Convention Post #2

This year's COLOR INFUSION STYLE LAB at the CINEMATIC Convention represents a departure from the looks offered in the past during this activity. 
To celebrate the Cinematic theme, designer Vaughn Sawyers was inspired by old Hollywood for this collection and each character offered at the event represents one specific movie star of the golden era of Hollywood. Can you guess who they are?
The collection has a bold new look, fresh new packaging designed to protect the dolls and incredible outfits. Those who purchased the entire collection this year were simply thrilled with the choices. 

This year, the collection is composed of 12 dolls and 12 separate outfits. And for the first time since the start of this activity, the edition size per style is 600 pieces across the board. This was decided to ensure that each convention guest would get an equal chance to own one of each of these exciting characters!
 Text is quoted from IT release.

Color Infusion nude dolls  $45.  ($540 for all)
Color Infusion fashions  $35 ($420 for all)
All CI items are taxed 9% at point of sale.
If you were to buy the entire collection of 24 items your total would come to $1046.40.

Integrity Toys "Cinematic Convention" Post #1

W Club members started to get the photos of the convention dolls on October 21 but we were told to keep all of them confidential until Sunday the 25th.  I've seen a bunch of photos of the dolls posted on at least one dealers' site, on eBay and elsewhere. I don't see the purpose of withholding images from an event like this. Everyone wants to see convention dolls ASAP!!!!

So this is going to be a photo intense re-cap which I will break down into sections.

Integrity Toys 2015 Spring Collection

On Saturday, May 16th, Alain Tremblay, Carol Roth, David Buttry and Vaughn Sawyer worked the eager, tuned-in masses of the W Club with the introduction of the new dolls. It was noted that these are not all the 2015 dolls. Roth gushed over the fact that this is the 10th Anniversary of the W Club and the 20th Anniversary of Integrity Toys.

First up is the new Katy Keene line that I was so looking forward to. It was a little disappointing to hear that they used the Color Infusion/Jem Body. A larger busted, more curvy body would have been perfect for a doll from this era. As far as re-using existing sculpts, why not make the doll look like Katy Keene? All that work put in to a new line and for what?
I would have bought the entire line; as it was, I pre-ordered only "Blue Serenade" and "Shimmering Dynasty."
I love the suits on Lorelei and Gloria but not the dolls so much. The Jem sculpt leaves me cold.

Lucky Red Lorelei  Jem sculpt
"Winning Number" LE 425 
Gloria Grandbuilt  Tilda Brisby sculpt
"The Odds Are Stacked" LE 500

Katy Keene Sculpt: Jem 'Rapture' and Darby Kenner
"Blue Serenade" LE 500
Evening gown adapted from the comic itself.

Katy Keene
"Shimmering Dynasty" LE 500
Black holographic sequin gown lots of jewelry.
 
Katy Keene
"Everything's Keene" LE 500  Gift Set


Prices of the Katy Keene were $145. per dressed doll and $185. for the gift set.

Vaughn Sawyer introduced the FR 16 line. 

He said his inspiration was "Strong, independent, powerful women, classic clothing, timeless fashion." I think in most cases he achieved that. For me, the handbags were the highlight of this particular line and the toned-down eye makeup. He explained that it's not airbrushed but they attempted a style to resemble airbrushing.
My favorite outfit was Fall Phenomenon. Exuberance was a crowd favorite.
I didn't order any of the FR16.

"Super Natural" Anais McKnight DD LE400  $175.
 
 "Incognito" Elsa Lin DD LE400  $175.


"Fall Phenomenon" Elsa Lin DD LE400 $175.


"Shades of Grey" Hanne Erickson DD LE 400  $175.


"Exuberance" Hanne Erickson DD   LE 400  $200.

Poppy Parker  The Model Scene Collection  Later 60's
Inspiration: (David Buttry) Diana Vreeland's Fashion Models
I don't collect Poppy Parker but I think this collection is quite successful and I preordered three from this line! Had I been a collector I would have ordered three more. Spring Song was surprising for it's unusual character role that Poppy plays. It's my least favorite. My overall favorite is The Camera Loves Her. I love the era she portrays and the fashion is adorable. The black Poppy Parker "Midas Touch" is very pretty and her outfit is also adorable. And then I couldn't resist Nigel because of his cool jacket. I have a great group of Hommes in my FR collection and he will definitely add another dimension.


"Go See!" LE750   $120



"Spring Song" LE800  $120
Romantic Edwardian look 




"The Camera Loves Her" LE 800   $120
