Color Infusion Style Lab: 2015 Cinematic Convention Post #2

This year's COLOR INFUSION STYLE LAB at the CINEMATIC Convention represents a departure from the looks offered in the past during this activity. 

To celebrate the Cinematic theme, designer Vaughn Sawyers was inspired by old Hollywood for this collection and each character offered at the event represents one specific movie star of the golden era of Hollywood. Can you guess who they are?

The collection has a bold new look, fresh new packaging designed to protect the dolls and incredible outfits. Those who purchased the entire collection this year were simply thrilled with the choices. 

This year, the collection is composed of 12 dolls and 12 separate outfits. And for the first time since the start of this activity, the edition size per style is 600 pieces across the board. This was decided to ensure that each convention guest would get an equal chance to own one of each of these exciting characters!

 Text is quoted from IT release.

Color Infusion nude dolls  $45.  ($540 for all)
Color Infusion fashions  $35 ($420 for all)
All CI items are taxed 9% at point of sale.
If you were to buy the entire collection of 24 items your total would come to $1046.40.

Integrity Toys "Cinematic Convention" Post #1

W Club members started to get the photos of the convention dolls on October 21 but we were told to keep all of them confidential until Sunday the 25th.  I've seen a bunch of photos of the dolls posted on at least one dealers' site, on eBay and elsewhere. I don't see the purpose of withholding images from an event like this. Everyone wants to see convention dolls ASAP!!!!

So this is going to be a photo intense re-cap which I will break down into sections.

"Museum Day" Fashion Design by K Exclusively for R&D

 Rudi Teruel has been selling very limited editions of fashions made by various artists these past few months. They sell out rather fast and he advertises them only on Facebook.
This fashion is called "Museum Day." It came in a long-sleeved version in a red colorway. Originally there was a white ribbon belt and white ribbon straps which I removed. I thought the red belt looked more substantial and the dress obviously didn't need straps so I cut them off.
The quality of the fabric was surprising as is the very good construction of the panel skirt. It's fully lined with a light woven interfacing and all seams are finished. The dress snaps in the rear. Impressive! All this plus overseas postage for only $41.

The bag is a Birkin copy from the Purse of the Month Club and the red sunglasses and shoes are Fashion Royalty.

Below, Vanessa models the previous R&D fashion I received in August.

Fashion Royalty Fine Print Elise Jolie Review

The Elise Jolie dolls are simply the only remaining Fashion Royalty dolls that interest me. And even though they've gone back to producing Vanessa 1.0, my completist attitude to her has been broken. Yay.

Fine Print is a sophisticated looking doll. She is dressed for a day at the office, in the boardroom or seeing clients. Hopefully, it's warm inside as the dress is sleeveless under her faux cashmere coat.
Every piece of the fashion has been made beautifully. The dress is detailed and fits perfectly.

 The detail that is missing is the opening bag. This one is sewn shut. Disappointing cost cutting measure.

Look at the excellent seaming details. The construction is flawless.

Jewelry - it's a different design and is just OK. It does sparkle up what might otherwise be a drab as in olive drab, ensemble.

She comes with her hands painted in a tan color. The color doesn't work at all as it doesn't make enough of a contrast between her skin tone and the coat color. I could barely get one hand out to try them on. I'd have to warm her arms to remove both hands if I wanted to. I can repaint the hands myself and I'd do them black to match her shoes.

The promotional doll was shown with the black belt over the coat. I prefer the coat open and so I just did not use the belt.

The jury is still out on her hairstyle. It's appropriate for the way she's dressed but it has no sex appeal at all. The best thing about it is the color and the fact that it's gelled to within an inch of it's life so it will never get messed up.

All things being said, I'm happy to add her to my Elise cabinet.
