Dream Teen Poppy Parker

Original price: $135, which included both the doll and the W Club membership.

July 2012

"Dream Teen" was the upgrade Poppy Parker doll for people who registered for Integrity Toys' 2012 W Club.  The other upgrade doll that year was "Ready To Dare" Natalia. 

"Dream Teen" sported right-glancing gray eyes with pink eyeshadow, and real/applied eyelashes.  She shared the same eye screening as "Holiday in the Hamptons," "Portrait in Black," "Endless Summer" and "Center of Attention."   Her hair was very dark brown (almost black but not quite), pulled back into one large gelled ponytail, and her eyebrows were a matching dark brown.  Her lips were pink.

"Dream's" outfit included a white dress with a bold orange, pink and gray floral print; pantyhose; a fluffy white petticoat; simple pearl earrings; pink shoes with pink ribbon bows; a simple pink bracelet and a nice pink purse with a handle (not a clutch purse).

Simply Simpatico Poppy and Darla gift set

Right out of the box.

Original convention price: $150

This was a gift set from Integrity Toys' "Jet Set" convention held in Chicago in Oct. 2011.  It came with two dolls and many coordinating clothing pieces.

Poppy has left-glancing blue eyes with pale pink eyeshadow and prominent black eyeliner underneath her eyes. Her lips are nude. Her hair is long and golden blonde, with bangs.

Darla, who uses the new Darla Daley sculpt, has right-glancing brown eyes with pink eyeshadow, and pink lips. Her hair is dark brown and very short.

Shown without the jacket and vest.

The clothing pieces are coordinating and can be mixed-and-matched.  For example, Darla's vest also matches Poppy's skirt exactly and can be combined with that as well as with Darla's pants.

They come with two pairs of earrings: One silver stud set and one set of silver hoops. They come with a long-sleeved pink shirt; a long-sleeved pin-striped shirt; two types of ties done in the same floral print; a long-sleeved jacket in the same floral print; one pair of pink shoes; one pair of black shoes; a gray vest, gray skirt and gray long pants that are all out of the same fabric; one pair of white fishnet tights; one pair of white fishnet socks, and two stands. Their earrings are their only jewelry. They did not come with purses.

"Simpatico" Poppy's eye paint is the same screening as "I Love How You Love Me," and the two dolls are similar.  The differences are that Simpatico's hair is a darker shade of blonde and she has bangs; her eyebrows are a bit darker; and her eyeshadow is pink with a strong black lower eyeliner, while "Love Me's" eyeshadow is pale yellowish. Below is a photo of the two together so so you see the differences.

Youthquake Poppy Parker

Youthquake with hair taken down.

Original price: $90
Limited edition of 400
From the mainline 2011 collection.
July 2011

Blue, right-glancing eyes with neutral eyeshadow; pale pink lips and vivid orange-red hair. Her eyebrows were a slightly darker red than her hair.

She sported an eye screening new to the Poppy Parker world at the time of her debut:  No painted eyelashes with the exception of a single "wing" at the outer corners of each eye to give her a doe-eyed look. The eye screening was similar to "Twist 'n Shout" Darla's screening except that her eyes looked in the opposite direction. ("Shout's" eyes were left-glancing.)

The outfit was also the same as "Shout's" except in different colors. "Youthquake" had a black sweater under a brown jumper, with black fishnet stockings and black shoes, and "silver" stud earrings.

The hair of the actual production doll looked dramatically different from the original promo pics, seen below.   The color ended up being a different shade of red, and the hair was curled differently.

Twist 'n Shout Darla Daley

Original price: $90
Limited edition of 400
From the mainline 2011 collection.
July 2011

Deep brown, left-glancing eyes with a neutral color palette, including silvery-gray eyeshadow. She sported an eye screening that was new to the Poppy Parker world at the time of her debut:  No painted eyelashes with the exception of a single "wing" at the outer corners of each eye to give her a doe-eyed look. The eye screening was similar to "Youthquake's" screening except that her eyes looked in the opposite direction. ("Youthquake" was right-glancing.)

The outfit was also the same as "Youthquake" Poppy's except in different colors. "Shout" had a white sweater under a black jumper, with white fishnet stockings and black shoes, a white headband, and stud earrings.

At Integrity's Jet Set convention in Oct. 2011, Integrity announced that Darla's face mold had been broken at the factory and that a new sculpt would replace it, making this the only time Integrity fans would see this particular sculpt. This was the first Darla, and the only to have this particular face sculpt for that reason.

Hit Single Darla Daley

The actual production doll.

Limited edition of 400
From the mainline 2011 collection.
Jan. 2012

Brown, right-glancing eyes with purple eyeshadow above the eyes and gold eyeshadow below.  She had black hair in a dramatic curled up-do with bangs.

Comes with a purple mini-length dress, gold hoop earrings, and gold shoes, gold clutch purse, nude pantyhose and a simple gold bracelet. The dress is one piece, with a zipper down the back. There are no panties.

At Integrity's Jet Set convention in Oct. 2011, Integrity announced that Darla's original face mold had been broken at the factory and that a new sculpt would have to replace it. For this reason, "Hit Single" was never actually produced with the original sculpt, shown in two of the pics below. The new sculpt was very similar to the original sculpt, although in the final production doll, the eye screening was changed to be right-glancing instead of left-glancing as shown in the original promotional photos.

"Hit Single" was supposed to come out in 2011, but production delays made her appear in Jan. 2012 instead.

Poppy Parker eye chart

This is a comparison of the eyes of the Poppy Parker dolls produced up to mid-2013. I thought it would be interesting to see them all together in one place.
