My Little Pony? Seriously?

Integrity Toys released some hard to believe information regarding a new fashion figure collection based on My Little Pony. There is a talented group of artists who do custom MLP figures which are fabulous. What I didn't know is that there is a cosplay movement of numerous characters from the show. There is a following of teens and adults who have a convention called BronyCon. Find out more about it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BronyCon.
Here is another interesting article about followers and fans:

Integrity says it will be a "high end collectible series inspired and made to honor the fans of the My Little Pony brand."  When I read this announcement I was speechless but I realize that it is a way to get new consumers.

Let's see. What else does Hasbro make that IT could use as a basis for a line of fashion dolls?

As Dusk Falls: The Winning Doll of the 2014 Integrity Toys Design Competition

In October 2014, the Official Integrity Toys Advanced Design competition took place at the "GLOSS" Convention in Orlando, Florida and at long last, the W Club is honored to introduce the exquisite doll based on Ms. Julia Leroy's winning entry, "As Dusk Falls" Eugenia Perrin Frost™!

As per the rules of the competition, the winning design, personally picked by Jason Wu and other members of the Integrity Toys design team, has gone through various adjustments to make it production ready while preserving the spirit of Julia's original design. We could not be more excited to unveil the production version of the doll and give everyone a chance to add this fantastic lady to their collections!
 
W Club members can order as many as they want for the reduced price of $130. She will go on sale to the general public for $150.

Head Sculpt: Eugenia
Body Type: FR 2013
Skin Tone: FR White
Hair Colors: Golden Blond

She is very beautiful and if I were going to add more 12" dolls to my collection, I would order her.
