New Poppy Parker Doll for W Club Members

She is called Sweet Confection and is the Second 2011 W Club Exclusive Doll. The price: $125. The edition number will reflect the number pre-ordered plus some extra. I think this Poppy will rival the most popular of the previous Poppy dolls in collectibility due to her unique tan skintone. She is quite pretty. And finally, she has applied lashes. This is what collectors have been asking for and it deserves a 'thank you.'**

Here are several Integrity Toys photographs.

The second image with the sunglasses and the scarf tied around her neck perfectly captures the 60's look.

**I don't understand why the W Club liaisons feel it is necessary to make ______ statements like the following:

"Thanks so much to David, Jason, Vaughn and the entire Integrity team for this beautiful W Club Exclusive Doll! Poppy Parker is a huge favorite of collectors and we are sure that all of our members will be thrilled with this latest W Club offering! "
 

Thanks!
 

The W Club Liaisons

They're not doing collectors a favor; they're making dolls that people will buy. Helloooo...
Can you imagine a manufacturer/designer of fine fashions or cars or furniture marketing their products and including a statement like that?  I can't.
When a manufacturer listens to collectors, that deserves a thank you.   So, I'll say thanks when they revive the real Vanessa sculpt. I say thank you by spending my money and buying the dolls.
It was a big step forward to introduce the fabulous FR2 body. I'll say thank you when they sell the bodies separately and come out with shoe packs for them.
(I won't really say thank you. I'll say I'm buying it.)

Promo Photos Don't Always Tell the Truth

On Prego today JaneNY posted a photo of Tonner's Salvatore brothers,  Damon and Stefan, who are characters from the Vampire Diaries. What a difference a real life photo makes. These dolls are hot. Their sculpts are fabulous. Jane said about Damon, "So much better than his promo pics. His outfit is wonderful. 'Leather' jacket is distressed and very well done. Good quality on his henley, and the most surprising thing was Tonner also included his sleeveless undershirt."

Of course it also makes a difference that she styled their hair very well!

 These are the original promotional photos from the TDC.

My Favorite Fashion Royalty Sculpt, Vanessa

I'm talking about the real Vanessa, not Waldo. This is Aerodynamic Vanessa.

She was repainted by Vin Trapani and given an FR2 body.

 I did not like True Royalty Vanessa at first. She had a pushed in face and looked emotionally damaged. She may have been the palest Fashion Royalty doll to have ever been released at that time and would have made a great vampire.

 

I worked with heat on her head to reshape it. When I still didn't like her, I had her rerooted. No gold ring yet.  The other day, after plucking the chicken feathers out of Go North's gorgeous gown, I put it on True Royalty, combed her hair partially over her face and loved it. Yay!
