The 2013 main line Poppy Parker dolls were debuted in a webinar event on March 30, 2013.  It featured a set of five dolls that represented different countries/regions: India, Polynesia, Japan, Switzerland and Spain.

Japan had left-glancing purple eyes with applied eyelashes and pink eyeshadow.  She had a single-winged eye screening with bottom lashes.  Her lips were a strong pink.  Her hairstyle was a platinum blonde updo and her eyebrows were light brown.  Like "Sweet in Switzerland," she had the pale "Japan" skintone.

She wore a pink floral print kimono.   Accessories included pink shoes with bows, white tights, simple pearl earrings and a simple white clutch purse.

The multi-ethnic theme was reflective of the overall theme for this year's Poppy collection:  The 1964-65 World's Fair held in New York City.  

Polynesia had the same right-glancing eye screening as "Holiday in the Hamptons" and "Dream Teen," among others.  She had applied eyelashes.  Her eyes were dark brown, with purple eyeshadow.  Her lips were pale pink.  Her skin color was a shade darker than the usual Poppy Parker "Caucasian" skintone ... the same skintone as "Hot Dots" and "Sunshine Games." She had long, wavy raven hair left in a loose style.

Her outfit was a pale blue, lavender and white floral print one-piece bathing suit, with a separate wrap skirt over the top.  She had lavender sandals and a matching clutch purse, and a short, Asian-inspired royal blue coat to wear over her outfit.  She came with a white flower in her hair, a gorgeous blue-and-gold bead necklace, and two bracelets: one gold and one blue.

She did not come with earrings or pantyhose.

The multi-ethnic theme was reflective of the overall theme for this year's Poppy collection:  The 1964-65 World's Fair held in New York City.  

Switzerland had forward-facing, light blue eyes with blue eyeshadow, sharing the same double-winged eye screening as "Shadow of a Smile," "In The Air" and "Foto Fab."  Like "Joyful in Japan" she had the pale "Japan" skintone, and her lips were nude.  She had applied eyelashes.  Her hair was long and straight and a bright shade of orange-red, with orange eyebrows to match.

Her blouse and skirt were attached to each other as one dress, not separate pieces.  The blouse was light blue with a white polka-dot overlay, with a gathered neckline and short puffy sleeves.  The white overlay was not removable from the bodice underneath.  The light blue circle skirt was lined satin, and fell to mid-thigh.  She had a separate, removable corset-laced white belt around her midriff.  She came with a white fur hat, a white muff for her hands, white tights and a blue cape-style coat with collar.  She was the first Poppy to come with ice skates.


She did not come with earrings.

The multi-ethnic theme was reflective of the overall theme for this year's Poppy collection:  The 1964-65 World's Fair held in New York City.  

Spain had forward-facing grey eyes with eyeshadow in neutral beige tones.  She had a single-winged "cat eye" eye screening with painted bottom lashes and applied upper lashes.  Her lips were a deep coral red, and her hair a light brown/dark blonde ponytail pulled off to one side.  She was the only doll in her collection to utilize Integrity Toys' "Caucasian" skintone, which is the skintone most of the Poppy Parkers have sported up until this point.

Her lacy black outfit was Spanish-influenced, with a ruffled blouse with elbow-length sleeves over a black lace pencil skirt.  She had a matching black straw hat, a black clutch with colorful floral embroidery; gold hoop earrings; a ruby ring and black pumps.

The multi-ethnic theme was reflective of the overall theme for this year's Poppy collection:  The 1964-65 World's Fair held in New York City.  

India had left-glancing grey eyes with golden yellow eyeshadow, and applied eyelashes.  She used the same face screening as "Fashion's Night Out/Bergdorf," "Ask Any Girl" and "Baby It's You," among others.  She used Integrity's tan "Latina" skintone, the same skintone used for 2011's "Sweet Confection." She had long, dramatic, chocolate-brown hair pulled up into a giant curled ponytail.


Her gown was long and yellow, with Indian-inspired embroidery at the hem and neck.  She came with beaded pink-and-gold earrings, a gold bracelet encrusted with pink rhinestones, five bangle bracelets, a champagne-gold clutch and champagne-gold pumps.
