More information including days/times to come as we get closer to convention. I'll post here, on Instagram and on the shopping board at the hotel. Hope to see you there!
Sneaking more Amelie into my collection…
I’ve just adored this specific Zing! Amelie in DollDiva67 ‘s photostream for years now and I got SO lucky to snag her!
I was just floored to open her and see her in this amazing handmade dress from DollDiva Creations! Talk about a Zing! She blew my dollhouse roof right off!
So excited about this! I have been waiting for them since it started and almost passed out when I saw them. Roxy is definitely my favorite!
My EP Giselle is on a FR2 body and it think it suits her elegant and ladylike vibe. She has a subtle and little-appreciated beauty. For this set of photos I pulled her hair back but her long sweeping fringe is still bothering me...
Giselle is a modelling a dress I recently acquired in a small bundle of Integrity clothes. It seems to be designed for the older FR body but I think she wears it rather well. If anyone recognises it I would be curious to know which doll it is from...

Ugh! I could not access my Flickr at work. I could have uploaded this earlier. Anyways… here we go!
Integrity Toys is starting out with a bang this year and the first collection to be unveiled for 2017 is the much-awaited The Industry line featuring Poppy Parker’s granddaughter Tulabelle and her friends in the fashion industry. So without further ado here are my impressions of each doll in the collection.
Come Thru! Tulabelle True - So we finally know what her last name is and it is first unveiled in this collection. So Tulabelle True is a blogger and a fashion influencer, rightfully so she’s always on the front row of every fashion show. I personally adore this look. I am sold by the hair alone. Because she has the same face design as You Better Werk! Tulabelle and almost the same make-up palette that it’s turning people off. The new accessories make her great. The chunky jewelry, the cellphone and the purse with the “Dollface” written on it I think are must-have items. What I’m not a fan of is the sequined bomber jacket she comes with. I think I would have preferred a pink leather or a metallic jacket instead. Also the striped stockings add fun to her look but in a way it’s a little bit silly. I don’t think anyone would consider wearing that when attending a fashion show.
Style Savior Liu Liu Ling - Liu Liu is a fashion stylist. She is popular with designers and has collaborated with several of the big names in the industry. She is the first doll to have the articulated flat feet in the line which I’m guessing is just the same as Poppy’s. With that she comes with two pairs of shoes. Somehow I love the doll but not what she’s wearing. I think the dress is too big for her and it is over designed. You’ve got the sequins on her sleeves, a leather collar, you’ve got the lace overlay and sheer at the bottom and throw in a big hooded fur coat, I feel she is drowning. Her jewelry seems too formal for her street style look which could work depending on the styling but here I feel it doesn’t.
Zine Queen Binx Barone - She is a fashion editor for the top fashion publication “CLASS”. I love that she is racially ambiguous. I think it’s very important today that we see that on a character with a high position in the industry. I love the cut-out dress that she’s wearing. It reminds me of David Koma which is something I want to see from Fashion Royalty. The fabric chosen for the dress though paired with the blue jacquard print overcoat seems a bit confusing to me. The dress says “take me to the club” while the overcoat says “take me to church”. I find the styling a little off.
Believe the Hype Tate Tanaka - When I first saw his face I was like “OMG! He looks like Olivier Rousteing, designer/creative director of Balmain.” which makes me think he will also look good in a darker skin tone. True enough, like Olivier, he is also a fashion designer. He is the grandson of 60’s actress Tina Tanaka who is one of Poppy Parker’s friends. To me he is too put-together though. Like his entire look screams fashion model versus fashion designer. I wished he was more of a male Gigi Hadid. A fashion model first but then also a mogul and a brand who collaborates with designers and shows up in music videos and such. I don’t get the fashion designer vibe from him. I feel that he is too runway perfect. He needs a little bit of roughness. I wished his pants were distressed and I wished he was wearing a long sleeved v-neck shirt for a more laid back sense of style. Him being romantically paired with Tulabelle is what I like about his backstory.
Beauty Boss Cabot Clark - Cabot is a sought after hair and make-up artist. He is a designer’s go-to style guy. Some of you may not know but Cabot is using a modified version of Auden’s face sculpt which was first used from the okie_dokie_party/ Pinkie Pie doll from the <3 MLP line. He comes with this impressive miniature make-up case set which is the saving grace to this doll. It pains me to say and I hate being blunt but I feel his look is very outdated. The sheer shirt is very 90s and the metallic pants are so early 2000s. I don’t understand it. Pair it with a fur coat and it looks tackylicious. He looks like a middle aged man trying to fit in the fashion industry. He tried it but gurl he failed. I think the idea of his look can be a little bit more refined and can be more current. I wished he was a bit more playful in his own personal style. I think a preppy look would look great on him with a pair of glasses. The metallic pants could work had it been slimmer or tapered because that would bring it to a more updated silhouette. I’m also thinking of an oversized fur sweater (not a fur coat) that has an ombre or that has a black and white color blocking. Underneath the sweater is a shirt with the collar peeking out and possibly a neck tie with a pop of color. An addition of suspenders could possibly work for him. I’m looking for specific fashion pieces that I need in the doll closet and I feel that none of what he has on is a must-have piece.
I think these characters need some personality, a bit of exaggeration and playfulness in the way they carry themselves. They need personal style that is memorable and that leaves a lasting impression on the collectors’ minds. When I look back at the “16 inch Tulabelles from Trend Spotted, Yeti to Wear, Pomp and Circumstance, Front Row, Touch of Grace, Fashion Saga, Sweet Tartan and many more I feel like The Industry line was designed by a different person. Those “16 versions of Tulabelle were impeccable designed and were styled to perfection. I don’t feel the fun and the creativity in what has been presented in this collection. If these are supposed to be “basic” dolls then I feel they are not worth $125. The doll that stood out in this collection is Tate Tanaka who I thought had the best over-all look. There are accessories like the phones, the tablet and the jewelry sets that I think are really cool but I feel that giving each character personality through style is what they need to work on. So far I’m not impressed.
