And the prices are ridiculous. I do like the dolls, but they should have been proper dressed, in real outfits, with a good design, to deserve these prices.<br />Like I said, I do like the dolls, but I redress them in Silkstone outfits, when they fit, at least those outfits look so much better and high fashion. Where have the outfits gone Integrity used to make? Only Victoire is well dressed in haute couture. Just my opinion.<br />Jurriehttp://www.jurriefotografie.soyno.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-217917876331578492.post-51367113217925218962012-10-01T13:30:13.728-04:002012-10-01T13:30:13.728-04:00After seeing these, I am so glad I decided to stop...After seeing these, I am so glad I decided to stop collecting IT dolls. <br />I almost always love IT face sculpts, but these fashions and jewelry just look cheap. Their price points are ridiculous, too! I wish this company would go back to the quality that made them great. <br /> <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-217917876331578492.post-67226052325681107992012-10-01T02:29:54.512-04:002012-10-01T02:29:54.512-04:00I'm glad I didn't make the long trip to Fl...I'm glad I didn't make the long trip to Florida!

But the box we got at check in was a sloppily tied in dress and accessories, like someone just undressed the doll and put the outfit back. Which is obviously what they did. They didn't give shippers for either doll so who would know? Must have been pretty embarrassing for Carol to have egg on her face when her own W Club emails didn't update the "names" of the dolls. Someone wasn't proof reading the W Club announcements which obviously stated Vanessa was the convention doll, not Imogen. So stupid to lie like that. They could have just said that's how they were doing it this year. So now basically everyone know Vanessa was the convention doll but is already removed from box, so there will never be an NRFB convention doll for 2012. Sloppy, sloppy.

I was surprised when I saw that Imogen was announced as the convention doll. Of course, when I went and it was Tatyana, I was surpised then as well and, I admit, disappointed. The year I missed out on Fine Jewel Eugenia and refused to pay the crazy resale prices for her. This year's Eugenia is beautiful, but then they are always beautiful!<br /><br />xo<br />Wenchie<br /><br />P.S.

Looks like someone forgot to change the titling to the pictures though. I think that confirms the rumor is true.

The dresses look really badly made. The silhouette dresses & gowns look really cheap to me. Not really Fashion Royalty anymore. <br /><br />There's new faces, old faces with new names, old names with new faces.. all of this confusion leaves me wondering who they are. I never would have thought FR would have went this way. I used to champion these dolls when no one knew who they were. Now, I don't know who they are. LOL.
