Queen Elizabeth II Dolls

 Here are a few of the Queen Elizabeth II dolls and figures I found on the internet this morning. I am sure there are more artist-created dolls not shown here. If I were to choose one, the second one down would be my choice of artist dolls. Of the mass-produced dolls, the Bradford Exchange is my favorite. Unfortunately, their promotional photos are always better than their product.

The Funko Pop figurine actually captures the essence of the Queen with the hat, the bag, the black low-heeled shoes. They did a good comic job. 

Mattel's Platinum Jubilee Doll is very unattractive IMO. The Cissy just looks like Cissy in a gown and tiara. It's a very pretty doll. 

There is probably a lot of demand for available representations of the Queen at this time and I'm sure entrepreneurs are already using her death to come up with new items.

Coralynn "Cora" Kwan - The East 59th Collection

I must say that the packaging of Coralynn is as glamorous as the doll herself. The brown shipper box opens at the side and the lid lifts up. Inside you'll see a white paper-wrapped doll box. The doll box itself is beautiful. It's shiny white with a colorful striped circle and a gold foil magnetic seal spanning the box opening.

And then you open the box to see a lovely displayed, fully dressed Coralynn.  Whoever said that presentation is a very small part of a doll, doesn't know what they're talking about. 
 

The accessory box lifts right out so there's no tearing/destroying of any cardboard. Inside you'll find several pieces of blingy jewelry, a tiny perfume atomizer, shoes and extra hands.

Coralynn was waiting for me when I got home from the UK with three Kingdom Dolls and several outfits and a load of other goodies. I am not de-boxing her at this time but I plan to. Here is one of IT's photos which shows what I will find when I take her out of the box.

Why does IT have such difficulty delivering dolls in a time-appropriate fashion? She was preordered on February 1, 2022. Seven & 1/3 months is an unusually long time to wait for a doll that's not custom-made. Has the business gotten out of hand for them?

"Make 'Em Lit" Rashad Rouissi by Integrity Toys

"Make 'Em Lit"  Rashad Rouissi by Integrity Toys

Integrity continues to release fabulous male dolls and today I was able to put a deposit on Rashad. He reminds me of Captain Jack Sparrow or perhaps Johnny Depp is on my mind? 

"Award-winning sound engineer Rashad Rouissi is all set to hop on a new adventure to help his friend and collaborator, music industry mogul Darius Reid, put Tae Min's hot tracks over the edge!"

"With his unique ability to "paint" with music and superior engineering skills, this guy is the one and only magician every recording artist needs on their team!"

Rashad is part of the new Homme collection and is only available via lottery directly from IT.

This is what buyers will receive. 

• 12.5-inch articulated fashion figure with shoulder-length, fully rooted hair;
• Multi-toned denim pants with contrasting topstitching;
• Neon yellow long-sleeved hoodie;
• Utility vest;
• Three earrings;
• Three rings;
• Square sunglasses;
• Watch;
• Sling bag;
• High-top sneakers;
• Two pairs of hands;

It is a lot of stuff! There is a good deal of variety in there and I am sure that many members are very happy.

For myself, I got the Elyse Jolie "Bijou" upgrade doll whose outfit I sold immediately and I was lucky in the RTB lottery for the new sculpt doll, 

Coralynn Kwan "Arctic Moon"

The East 59th® Collection

In addition, I ordered two Meteor Wig Accessory Packs which consist of three 1:6 scale wigs each. These should be interesting. I do hope the quality is good.
