Superdoll at UFDC Convention in Chicago 2027

Superdoll Logo

An announcement for the books: the Sybarites are coming to Chicago and will participate in the UFDC 2027 convention. This is amazing news.

Here is a part of the letter sent to mailing list subscribers today.

The theme of the 2027 event is Breaking the Mold and they are certainly breaking the mold with Superdoll. It would be very cool if Kingdom Doll were up to the task. I'd love to see Integrity Toys participate as well. They both have large followings. Integrity has thousands of collectors and their dolls have been 'breaking the mold' for a very long time. 

I will not be attending the 2027 convention but I'll be following closely. 

MUSES DOLL | Dolls Fashion Week Shanghai 2026

 Shanghai · October 24–25, 2026

On October 24–25, MUSES DOLL took part in Dolls Fashion Week Shanghai, presented by Douyin (TikTok China).

For this special occasion, MUSES DOLL designer Owen Su brought 13 specially prepared doll fashion looks to Shanghai, showcasing the brand’s approach to fashion, craftsmanship, and design on a miniature scale.

The presentation featured brand-new couture creations, exclusive colorways of selected designs from our archives, and a few early glimpses of what’s to come.

Presented on a runway of rotating platforms, each doll and its carefully composed look came into view as the stage turned, offering a different way to experience the details, silhouettes, and craftsmanship behind our creations.

The event was also a wonderful opportunity to share the world of MUSES DOLL with collectors and fashion enthusiasts in Shanghai.

For Autumn/Winter 2026, MUSES enters a city of shifting skies, garden rituals, formal occasions, and beautifully unexpected details. 

 “What is London to you?” Owen Su pauses before answering. “London is never only one thing. It can be romantic and gray in the morning, perfectly proper in the afternoon, and unexpectedly rebellious by night. I wanted the collection to change its personality in the same way.” That idea became The London Season, the MUSES Autumn/Winter 2026 collection.

Across Elodie, Eloise, Christian, Gabriel, and Valentina, the city appears not as a single image, but as a succession of moods: rain gathering over the pavement, flowers arranged for tea, polished shoes prepared for the social calendar, and one impeccable silhouette interrupted by an unexpected detail.

The  products of "The London Season" are in preparation. I'm looking forward to receiving my order.  I wanted almost everything.

Practically Human (Bio-Core Chronicles) by Robert Tonner

Multi-talented doll and fashion designer Robert Tonner has a newly published book called "Practically Human."  It is Book 1 of 1: Bio-Core Chronicles. 

I’m not surprised by this new venture. Robert has written countless stories over the years; every doll he creates has a story of its own. Which Tonner collector doesn’t know Tyler Wentworth’s or Evangeline Ghastly’s story? I can’t think of a single doll from Tonner’s studio without a backstory. The others are licensed characters, each with their own fictional history or real-life biography.

Here is the blurb from Amazon.com where the book is available to purchase.

Between her mom's illness, bad grades and her best friend Luca slowly fading from view, her life isn't going the way she hoped, or planned.

But an unusual gift from her brilliant Great-Aunt Ivy could soon change all that.

Em looks like a doll. But she's no ordinary toy.

She is a Bio—a forbidden biomechanoid being made of living cells and nanomachines, alive and capable of curiosity, kindness, and empathy. Bios were outlawed long ago after a catastrophic incident, but that hasn't stopped corporations like LumaTech hunting for the secret to their power.

As Sam and Luca are pulled into a hidden world of corporate secrets and outlawed tech, they discover that Em is more than just a miracle of science. She might be the only thing standing between them and a rogue Bio capable of destroying everything.

In a race against time, Sam must decide what she is willing to risk to protect her family, her friends, and a little living doll. 

I wonder if Sam and Luca will eventually become real dolls themselves with their own little Bio doll. That would be fun.  

Reading age is listed as 10-14 years. (That never stopped me.)

“Arrivederci Paris” Luciana Zadra Gift Set The East 59th Redux Collection

"Arrivederci Paris" Luciana Zadra™ Gift Set from East 59th Redux featuring a full wardrobe of three looks and a trunk packaging that all 2026 W Club members can pre-order.

 My rating is "NOT BAD." It's more of the same Mid-Century fashion with a pointy-eyebrowed, not-very-pretty doll in a stiff hairdo.  This is a sculpt from the past that I was never fond of. 

Extraordinarily cool is the dressing closet with the table and seat. Alain is the genius of packaging design and this one is no exception. 

____

Her make-up style is exaggerated Elizabeth Taylor but she's not as gorgeous as La Liz.

This is beauty.

No, they don't look alike at all. (I don't care.)
She has wrap-around eyes, giant lips and a huge blank forehead.

You get one dog, not of your choosing.

It looks as if gift sets are in big time this year.

The poodles are cute. 

The cardboard wardrobe is brilliant. Just look at those cute shoe boxes that match a part of the closet.  The little details are wonderful. Can she see her reflection in the mirror? Is it all cardboard? What is the bench made from?

Note that the body type is FR 6.0. These shoes will not fit earlier East 59th St dolls.

Cost $250. PLUS Postage and possible tariff. 

It's just not my thing.

It's not surprising that these were sold out in 1 minute according to scores of people who tried to get one. My sources for this information are Facebook, Instagram and Reddit. Several people were able to score one. Apparently if you were signed in with all your information you had a slight edge. 

Sadly, I saw that one of the PDs sold on eBay for $1600. That is a huge scalp. I'd be afraid to go that far. 

Exciting News from AtomicToysLab and PidginDoll!

Yesterday PidginDoll announced that they will be teaming up with AtomicLabToys to create the first 12" vinyl Pidgin Fashion Doll. The first three dolls launch on Friday 10/23/26! 

Here's a little tease.

Kingdom Doll "PAGAN"

The newest release from Kingdom Doll is named Pagan and the wonderful photographer/collectors are already posting their interpretations.

First we'll look at Kingdom Doll's own promotional images which are inspired and beautiful. 

The following photographs are the property of Kingdom Doll.

This is how she is described and presented by Amanda and Alexandra, her creators.

Pagan is a powerful witch and part of the Kingdom Doll Envoy collection.

The Face

Pagan has the ever popular Demetae sculpt and is in Devonshire Cream coloured resin.

Her golden eyes are surrounded by dramatic shadows in smoky coal shades with a splash of pumpkin orange at the inner corner. Dynamic upward brows in darkest brown black give her a dangerous feline look.

Her blush is reminiscent of burnt orange cinder toffee while her full lips cool the palette down in an autumnal mushroom pink.

The Outfit

Her stunning outfit consists of a dramatic Victorian-inspired coat featuring leg-of-mutton sleeves, a full skirt, and a plunging neckline, constructed in shot blood-orange silk dupion and lined in silk. Her voluminous skirt has multiple layers of sooty black tulle and a high-low hemline with matching black tulle knickers.

Other accessories include an oversized silk organza witch's hat with a wired brim and crown so you can manipulate it into a dynamic crooked shape. Her shoes are magical pumpkin hoof shaped resin heels. Extra pose hands feature the signature Demetae dragon pumpkin spice nails and orange dressing hands.

No witch would be complete without a broom and Pagan’s is a hyper-realistic, hand-sculpted design cast in resin.

Here are two amazing photos by Anthony AHawaii which I have permission to post. They are dramatic, and enhance Pagan. Some AI was used as the flying horse and the dragon were camera shy. 

Stunning, right? 

I have not had the opportunity to debox my Pagan. I'm quite far behind in my doll play but I have so much to look forward to!
