The two dolls presented on Saturday night to attendees are based on characters from Alice in Wonderland. They are being considered part of the Nu.Fantasy collection but will be outside of Japan.
The souvenir doll, "The Red Queen", uses the previously issued Fashion Royalty Tatyana face mold. Her gown is red tafffeta with black tulle and beaded embellishment on the bodice. She is called "Checkmate." LE 300.
The companion doll called "Curiouser and Curiouser" is a take off on the Alice character. She uses the Gavin Dynamite Girl sculpt.
For those of us who are used to expecting Fashion Royalty dolls, the landscape has changed. The upcoming "Dark Romance" convention is not called the Jason Wu Event/Convention; it's the Integrity Toys Convention with Jason Wu. It's interesting to watch as the company changes.
I would be surprised if the October convention is not majority FR. I'd be happy with a mini AG clone, as technically AG mini's are not FR.
ReplyDeleteBut I'll be a bit upset if the convention collection included Dynamite Girls (other than the make a DG),Vampires or monsters as the event or companion doll.
I think they know they shouldn't really REALLY upset their core buyers?
I really love this Alice.. She looks so soft and different!!! I am really considering buying her..
ReplyDeleteThe only think i liked of the Red Queen, is the dress.. and the little crown.. I am not fond on Tatyana Sculpt.. and that red hair on her.. Doesn´t look very good (To me)..
