The 2nd 2026 W Club Exclusive Doll

Designer David Buttry could dress a Poppy Parker doll in a paper bag and she would sell out. Integrity Toys knows its customers.

This release is called a Mini Gift Set but it doesn't appear to be Mini at all. With two complete fashions that include two pairs of shoes and two handbags, I'd say it's a gift set. 

Honestly, if I were a Poppy collector, I would order this one just for her looks. She is adorable. Her hair style is one of my favorites but it is often seen on an older doll. I have a few wigs for my big girls that resemble Poppy's hairdo.

Orange/pink/yellow is not a favorite color combination of mine. These clothes are very cute and appropriate for a child. 

However, the back story says Poppy shopped at "the most psychedelic of all the London boutiques." 

I was a teenager through most of the 1960's era and I wouldn't call her clothes exactly psychedelic. Perhaps the baby doll paisley pattern touches on psychedelic. the addition of more color would help I wonder if the Chinese factory allows for designing a fabric pattern?

I asked Chat GPT to use the header colors to create a pattern and then to create a babydoll dress.

Baby Doll dresses were very, very popular in the late 50's through the 60's. 

Check out this design from Balenciaga. It is in the V&A's collections.

In 1957 and 1958 Balenciaga produced a group of flounced lace dresses. They were known as 'Baby Doll' dresses. This one has a provocative tight black crêpe de Chine underdress. You can see it clearly through the semi-transparent black lace overdress. This overdress is very wide and flared. It has short sleeves and a low waist with a gathered flounced skirt. Two giant black satin bows mark the middle of the neck and the middle of the waist. They also add to the child-like theme.

Definitely worth watching. This is on Instagram.

An Email From Integrity Toys (September 1, 2026):

In collaboration with our Japanese partners at Azone and incorporating some of their key requests, we are so happy to bring you a very special trio of dreamy dolls featuring Misaki and the long-awaited return of some of her friends! Designed by the newest Integrity Toys designer, the fabulous Pamela Thompson, "Afternoon Reverie" Amelie, Misaki and Yua (formerly Kylie) dream of being a part of your collection!

As usual for this line, pricing and other details will be handled through their distribution channels and dealers.

For this release, as this collection was requested for Azone, 100 dolls out of the total edition size of 500 for each character have been reserved for W Club members and are being offered directly via a right-to-buy lottery starting immediately. The dolls from the W Club RTB portion will be shipping directly from the US warehouse, which should help some customers with shipping fees. Please note that pricing may differ between purchasing from the RTB lottery and the usual Misaki purchase channels. 

Amelie

Misaki

Yua

If you enter for any or all of the dolls in this scrumptious series and are selected for any one or all of them, the total price per doll will be $175 + shipping, handling, applicable taxes and tariff surcharges (if any at time of arrival). RTB lottery winners will be expected to pay in full (at some time in approximately early-to-mid Fall 2026 for Amelie, approximately late Fall/early Winter 2026 for Misaki and approximately early-to-mid Winter 2027 for Yua) after each doll has arrived, pending no customs, shipping or other delays. However, winners will be announced on the usual timeline within a few days of the entry deadline.

I wonder if anyone remembers certain Monogram Dolls issued. There were three and they were all dressed the same with slight variations of colors. That did not go over well at all.

Passionate, Bemused and Envied Monogram Dressed Dolls

What is the point of dressing the dolls in almost identical (boring) outfits? I don't think it's a creative or attractive idea. It feels as if the manufacturer has taken the cheap and easy way out. Disappointing.

This has been done with other Misaki releases previously.

I have a vague memory of something similar happening with the Avantguard Dolls. Red feathers, orange feathers, black dresses. Not sure.

Suki Goldpetal 12" Poseable Doll from MGA Entertainment's 'Mirror Mi' Line

Suki Goldpetal Fragile Emotion Fantasy Doll

Here's a doll that can be used to teach ancient art methods, preservation and restoration. As a former art teacher, this delightful doll truly appeals to me for several reasons but it was the Kintsugi aspect that made me look into getting one. 

Embracing Flaws

Bowl repaired using kintsugi method.

Kintsugi is the traditional Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by mending the areas of breakage with a special lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum

Wikipedia has wonderful physical and philosophical explanations of kintsugi. My favorite description is the following:

As a philosophy, kintsugi is similar to the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi, an embracing of the flawed or imperfect

The philosophy of kintsugi can also be seen as a variant of the adage "Waste not, want not."

Not only is there no attempt to hide the damage, but the repair is literally illuminated... a kind of physical expression of the spirit of mushin....Mushin is often literally translated as "no mind", but carries connotations of fully existing within the moment, of non-attachment, of equanimity amid changing conditions.

The Doll: Suki Goldpetal

Design and Appearance

Theme: Inspired by Kintsugi, the traditional Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold.
Outfit: Features a shimmering gold bodice paired with a white hoop skirt with blue porcelain-style floral patterns.
Hair and Face: Long blue hair with pale blue and gold highlights, soft blue eyeshadow, and a cute bunny hair ornament.
Articulation: Includes over 15 points of articulation for different poses. 

Accessories

Teacup-shaped headphones with removable covers
A floral-patterned handbag with tassels
A matching teacup and saucer
Bunny-shaped rice ball snacks

She is $29.97 at Walmart which is the lowest price at this time.
 There are several other Mirror Mi dolls in this line available directly from the MGA shop.

Magazine and Cairo - New Sybarites Gen8

TITLE: Magazine  SYB/DD-0204
CLONE: 808 VOLTAIRE
BODY: Gen 8
SKINTONE: default

Regular price£680.00 GBP

A capsule collection of separates, luggage, jewellery and runway coiffure, richly embellished throughout — including a scarf collaboration with a maker whose silks have graced the Queen. Presented under the FBR moniker and divided between two front-row muses, each is dressed by the House to suit her own point of view. Front row bound, between them they are wearing Spring/Summer.

From the top, giving Naomi chills, a super-sleek centre-part wig falls just below the waist. Sublime. She wears an olive chiffon top, its front adorned with bronze disc shapes hand-embroidered in pink thread, the hem finished with chain and leather purse-strap detailing. She wears a slim side-split skirt of ecru and grandma-rose pink print, embellished with a cut-out of ecru and gilt cord lace, held in place with leaf-green embroidery thread. Triple-station belt loops carry a burgundy leather belt bearing silver dome studs through the centre stations, creating a double ‘peek-a-boo’ with the blouse hem detail. Quite the delicious visual sleight-of-hand! Dirty-pink knee-high hose complete the look. The accessories continue… a satin headscarf illustrated by the talented Ivanna Nohel for Castanohel X Superdoll, pattern: The King’s Porcelain. This accompanies her large yellow suede duffle, green-and-white sling-back buckled brogues and the full Jada™ set from the Acquired Wealth collection: Yingluo.

I wonder what the tariff will be. Sigh.

I want her.

A capsule collection of separates, luggage, jewellery and runway coiffure, richly embellished throughout — including a scarf collaboration with a maker whose silks have graced the Queen. Presented under the FBR moniker and divided between two front-row muses, each is dressed by the House to suit her own point of view. Front row bound, between them they are wearing Spring/Summer.

From the top, giving Nadja chills, a super-sleek centre-part wig falls just below the waist. Sublime. She wears an incredible V-plunge chiffon top with a raw-edge hemline, glittering printed tulle at the shoulders also overlaying the lower blouse. The under-bust is detailed with a strip of menswear suiting in grey, black and white, tying in a centre bow. Quite the something! She wears a slim, side-split skirt in off-white and masculine grey, bearing square-silhouette inseam pockets. This is embellished with a feminine floral bouquet, beaded and embroidered in gold and silver with touches of granite. Double-layer off-white and blue mid-calf hose complete the look. The accessories continue… a satin headscarf illustrated by the talented Ivanna Nohel for Castanohel X Superdoll, pattern: Roadtrip. This accompanies her large pink suede duffle, slip-on lace-up brogues and the full Peanut™ set from the Acquired Wealth collection: Yingluo. A lesson in perfectly poised contradiction.

The Venus sculpt has changed a lot with this doll.

Integrity Toys is Refunding Tariffs You Have Paid

 

Impressive behavior. I have not received any compensation from any other company including UPS who has sent out confusing emails regarding the situation. 

Integrity has issued digital coupons which can be used at their store. As long as they are acceptible for membership fees, I will be OK with that. 

They do not expire and can carry a balance if you spend only part of them.

DEFA LUCY PLAY and Blind Boxes

 The Defa Lucy creators have decided to try the Blind Box marketing technique.  I wanted to call it a ploy but I decided to be kind.

Click to enlarge.

The dolls are very simply painted, with straight hair and a gingham two-piece bathing suit. Each style will be produced in an edition size of 1000 pieces world wide.

They are described as:

Saran Hair: Pale Blond / Hazelnut / Jet Black / Ginger

Sculpt: DF11

Body: Ultraflex Body (NEW!) with 13 points of articulation, interchangeable high heel feet and flat feet, interchangeable hands Skintone: Snow/Cameo/Tan/Caramel, Fashion: Gingham Two-Piece Lingerie Accessories: Strappy High-Heel Sandals

Each doll is packaged in a signature Defa Lucy blind box and will be distributed at random with each order.

Their marketing statement:

DEFA LUCY PLAY is a new collectible doll series designed for creators and collectors who love to customize, restyle, and make every piece uniquely their own.

Built as a creative foundation rather than a fixed display piece, each doll invites endless styling, personalization, and storytelling-turning collecting into an active, expressive experience. 

Seriously? The hype is ridiculous.  I make all of my dolls my own and restyle to my taste if they need it. In my opinion, They are like Barbies on a refined made-to-move body. I think it's a big step down from this past year's releases and collectors would purchase more if they could pick the models. 

I'm trying to find out the difference between Ultraflex and Glamflex. If you have information, please let me know. I have asked on Reddit and I a waiting for the reply.

Anyway, the opinion about Blind Boxes is very bad. 

These are some of the Comments:

I LOVE these, but don't love that they're blind boxes.

I’m sick of blind boxes…

Blind boxes have absolutely no place in collectors editions or anything so expensive.

I will never buy anything blind boxes unless it's secondhand

I HATE BLIND BOXES

I thought these were cute and considered maybe picking up one or two. But then I read blind box. NO THANK YOU!!

They’re just too expensive to risk being stuck with a doll that you don’t want.

Man I hate this company lmao. They get more and more annoying with each new release.

How do you feel about blind boxes?
