Integrity Toys "Mother of Pearl" Janay

"Mother of Pearl" Janay Dressed Doll is the celebration of Integerity Toys' 30th Anniversary. She was designed by Jessy Ayala who usually clothes his dolls with way less stuff.




I don't have one of the originals but eBay has a large selection of older Janay Dolls.

Here are two that sold a few months ago called "Bead and Braid Janay." They went for $39.95 each.  These are not my photos and were posted by seller  hipsterwhatnots94.

   I don't see how "Mother of Pearl"  honors the "spirit of the iconic original Janay doll originally manufactured in the 1990's." This doll is an inch shorter, has little Barbie feet and is probably not articulated in the way we expect now. There are no eyelashes either. Perhaps the color of the vinyl and facial features are the same.
 
____

Getting back to the new doll. There are NO QUANTITY LIMITS. You may order as many as you want. That certainly lowers the value of the doll. I was going to order her but that fact changed my mind.








Included:



  • 12.5-inch articulated doll with rooted hair and hand applied eyelashes;
  • Regal fitted suit jacket made of luxe tweed with golden accents, 3/4 sleeves, attached cape detail and deconstructed edges, along with a matching long fitted skirt with train;
  • Bonus! Separate matching corset top with gorgeous "pearl" and drop cascades hand-applied at the waist (to create a separate look- not meant to be worn under jacket);
  • Satin panty;
  • Pearl-shaped purse;
  • Pearl-colored high heels;
  • Golden injection molded pumps;
  • IT branded shoe box;
  • W branded make-up compact accessory;
  • Removable flower brooch;
  • Dramatic "pearl" drop earrings;
  • Statement stacked "pearl" choker;
  • Golden and "pearl" rings;
  • Golden cuff bracelets;
  • Golden and "pearl" bangle bracelets;
  • Cream bangle bracelets;
  • Pair of manicured hands;
  • Alternate pair of grip hands;
  • Bonus! Special Integrity Toys 30th Anniversary photocard holder, which includes a print of this gorgeous "Mother-of-Pearl" Janay doll as the first entry;
  • Doll stand;
  • Certificate of authenticity.

Bonus:  30th Anniversary Photocard Holder and Souvenir and Included. I have the original.

Integrity Toys "Popular" Monogram Dressed Doll Gift Set by Chris Stoeckel

Integrity Toys "Popular" Monogram Dressed Doll Gift Set by Chris Stoeckel


 You may know that my collecting has shifted from Integrity Toys dolls to the 16" Kingdom Dolls for the last several years. However, I have kept my W Club Membership and still watch the new dolls coming out. When I saw Chris Stoeckel's Gift Set, I jumped on it. I think the fashions are just fabulous. I would have loved the doll to be wigged. 

I still have several of my original Monogram Dolls and I enjoy having them. I'm wondering about the fact that the listing says this doll has the Poppy Parker body. But upon reading Stratos blog, The Fashion Doll Chronicles, he says: "the only change is that the FR legs are being replaced by Poppy high heeled ones." Apparently, there was a big dust-up on line about the body size. Poppy Parker's feet are also smaller, aren't they? 

This Monogram doll comes with three gorgeous, multi-piece fashions. I can only show the promo photos now as she won't be ready until this coming winter (2025.) It's a positive that there are three different pairs of shoes - just in case. I plan to display all the fashions using two of my other Monograms. 


Here are some enlarged views of the fashions. I must say that the photographer added to the superb job of selling the product.





The financials and other details:

Item # 93035

FR: Monogram™ Dressed Doll Gift Set

Edition Size: TBD

Expected Ship Date: Winter 2025

Head Sculpt: Original Monogram Sculpt

Body Type: Poppy 1.5

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: Blush

Hair Color: Flame Red

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

MSRP: $239 + S & H

Tariff Surcharge (Portion passed on to customers; estimated based on 30% at time of receipt, subject to below)*: $26

($50.00 Non-refundable deposit due now, $149.00 + S, H, taxes & any tariff surcharge* due in approximately Winter 2025)

*The tariff surcharge is the portion of tariffs in US dollars that will be passed on to the customers. The estimate of the portion to be passed onto customers above is based on a 30% tariff rate at the time that this product is received by Integrity Toys out of Customs. If the tariffs are lower at that time, the surcharge will also be lowered. If the tariffs are eliminated at that time, there will be no surcharge. If the tariffs are higher at that time, the surcharge will likely be adjusted higher. This amount above is provided as a courtesy to calculate the cost based on the information and tariff levels as they are today, but are subject to the aforementioned changes. Please contact IT/W Club if any of this is unclear before pre-ordering.

This gift set is sold out but there is a waiting list.

Superdoll LILICENT

LILICENT

When petals whisper in Satin tones and every glance is a bloom... 

This mesmerising gown celebrates nature’s wild elegance with a dramatic flourish. Cut in Superdoll’s signature siren silhouette, the fabric is emblazoned with a painted calla lily print—each stem and stamen rendered in vivid acid greens, magentas, and dusk-touched hues, evoking a twilight garden in full seduction.

A chartreuse belt slices through the romance with architectural precision, adding a touch of contemporary edge to this lush fantasy. The sweeping train trails behind her like a living mural—fluid, fierce, and undeniably femme.

Let them follow the scent.

How Much for a Fashion Royalty NU Face doll?

 I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this asking price. This wasn't from a new seller or anything like that. It's not like the doll is an OOAK or an early issue that is so rare.....blah,blahblah. It's that the seller believes he/she can get that much. She is a very pretty doll but seriously?

I remember when she came out and it wasn't that long ago.  

Question to the long time W Club members: do you remember there was a member who would list every doll she was able to buy as a member of the W Club through the lottery? She raised the price immediately and made so many people pissed off because she took a lottery win only to turn it around immediately for profit. That took balls.

Superdoll ROBYN

Robyn is a newly designed and engineered Superdoll. I like the upper thigh change. I'm looking forward to seeing her redressed and rewired.  She is sold out at this time.






 

From Superdoll:


DC is so excited about her latest 'coming out' and she is delighted to be leader of the pack in this collection.

From the tip of her newly re_mastered nose to her tippy tip of her toes, she is delighted; as are we to bring you this offering.

Lets get straight to the deal....

THIS IS A DEPOSIT ONLY PRE SELL

By clicking the BUY button you will pay a non refundable deposit.

Her full price is £721.00 and a 30% deposit is required to hold your pre order.

Once the dolls are completed and ready to ship you will be invoiced for the balance on your doll and the balance on shipping.

On receipt of your full payment, the doll will ship by courier.

Highly unusual for us to work in this way, but this is just how this will work.

This rather enigmatic doll comes in a edition size limited to 30 pieces.

 COLLECTION: RINA_RINA

Inspired by the pastel works of Manet backstage and rehearsal ballerinas, with the title inspired by a dear friend.

Sublime corseted bodies in silk organza, tulle and silk ribbon dictate the discipline of dancing in platform le Sabot and a semi_toot eludes to the art of tutu.

DC, the opening star has eyes of Nattier and Royal blue, surrounded in shades of Charcoal and impressionist Rose. Lips of pure Khorne. All this topped off by a side part double flip with fringe wig in blends of E19, E3 & E8.

We welcome you to this soft debut and hope you will delight along with us.

Integrity Toy's Recent RTB (Right to buy) Lottery

 

Demonic Strings
Kumi Dressed Doll
(Image property Nu.Face/Integrity Toys)


Entry for the lottery ended on January 20, 2025; however today is the first time I was able to take a look at this offering designed by Jesse Ayala.
I'll get right down to my first impression. It was WTF is she wearing?
It looks as if the designer threw everything at her that he possibly could fit. Including HORNS  for evil sake.
If that doll were here, I'd toss her everything except the coat and boots.

Now for the close-ups. The photography is excellent. Everything can be seen clearly. Please click on each photo to enlarge.



What is going on here? 


I suppose that this was intended to be released for Halloween but shipping from China is unpredictable. That can't be right because the expected shipping date is Spring 2025. I just don't know what Jesse was going for here. 
I do love her hairstyle and colors of same. 
Kumi  has always been a pretty doll. She's been used in some of the highly successful NuFantasy releases.

The Wild Wolf Kumi  2008




Snow White Kumi


The sculpt is classified as Eden/Lillith and has been used many times in the NuFace line.

Here are some of my own photos of the Eden/Lillith sculpt on different dolls from the past.
