Collectors have been asking for more varied sculpts and Superdoll has heard them. In this offering we have Inque, Voltaire and Venus. Certainly something for every Sybarite lover and all three for many.

As happens so often, the princess-type dolls are the first to sell out. Vushka is sold out. What I like best about her is her wig. While her gown is lovely, it's just not special enough. I can see that the crown and sceptre belong to her.

Kumalo is my personal favorite and I was lucky to get one. She is quite different from the faces on the dolls currently in my collection. When I saw her close-up three days ago, I was hooked. I tried to resist but it was futile. I'm glad I didn't wait too long. I think she will look amazing posed along with Forest.

There are some aspects about Rio that I do not like at all. Sorry to say that includes her face and costume. It does not come across as fashion at all but rather as unfinished toreador glitz. I'm sure that she will look lovely once redressed and rewigged; however, she's just not my cup of tea.

When will we see pierced ears on the GenX dolls? C'mon Superdoll, give us some openings for our own earrings!

Summer Project: An Outdoor Photo of Every Integrity Toys Doll I Currently Own

Note: This is a revised version of the post I began on May 18, 2019.  It occurred to me that instead of adding posts to the bottom of the page, I should add them to the top. Newest photos will now be at the top so no scrolling is necessary if you are following this post.

All photos have been taken with an iPhone X except as noted. Click on any photo to enlarge.



June 5, 2019

June 2, 2009

Dasha "Infallible" 2012
I don't remember who made the dress.




May 31—June 1, 2019

Kyori "QuickSilver" 2008
Wearing a OOAK by an artist I do not recall.



Kyori "Buena Sera" (re-rooted) (eye-lids repainted?) 2007
She is wearing a stunning embroidered gown originally worn by Eugenia "Ruffles and Blooms."
This gown was another less than popular item. I think it's gorgeous.




I think it's worth pointing out how much of a difference lighting makes. The two photos above were taken late in the day but the sun was still shining on the doll. Although I toned it down, Kyori's vinyl looks yellow.
These two photos were shot indoors using studio strobes. The color is accurate. Yes, this is the same doll you see dressed in yellow. On the left is how she looked originally.
Occasionally, when shooting in daylight out-of-doors, it's a good idea to use a fill flash to produce accurate color and for a few other reasons. Quicksilver's top photo uses fill-flash.





Poppy Parker "The Camera Loves Her" 2015
Dressed in her original fashion.
Strangely enough, this was not a popular doll. I love her. Perhaps it was her unique hair or something else. I seem to go against the flow with many dolls. She is my only Poppy Parker and will probably be that way for a long time.






May 30, 2019

Monogram "Disclosure" 2010
She is wearing part of her original outfit and is dressed this way because I am selling her.




Dasha "Anika Luxottica" 2016
Wearing "Inner Sparkle" Natalia's gown.
Anika is the most exotic and unusual IT doll. She came with android-like arms and legs along with standard parts. 





May 28, 2019

Who were these Dashas? I had one early Dasha rerooted and one repainted. I scalped one and I do not have duplicates, yet these two dolls look completely alike. The gal in the black hair is wigged. This shall remain a mystery. A collector just suggested that they both are Renegade Dasha.

Dasha "Always Polished" Reroot? 2010
Her silk bustier was designed by me and made by Mio.  The skirt is from Adele "Sound Advice."




Dasha "Renegade?" Repaint?   2011
Wigged. Wearing a dress by Antonio Realli. IT shoes.
