Updates! Finally!


It's been a long, long time since I'd updated this blog!  Sorry it's been so long.

I've added all the new 2014 dolls.  On top of that, I've put a search bar on the right-hand side of the page, to make it easier to look for a specific doll.

I'm afraid I will no longer be updating the eye chart.  There have been so many new eye screenings added since last year that it's now become too confusing, even for me.   There are now several dolls in the 2014 collection where I can't figure out whether they're using a new eye screening, or just one of the older eye screenings.  Ack! 

Hugs!

Glamorous Darling Poppy Parker - IFDC exclusive

IFDC convention exclusive for 2014
Original price: $175
Limited Edition of 300
July 2014

There were three Poppy Parker dolls produced for 2014's IFDC convention: a blonde, a brunette and a redhead.  They sported new eye screenings that had never been used before.  They also used a modified Poppy Parker body: the torso and arms were the same as the regular body, but the feet had been changed to be high-heeled.  As a result, the feet will fit into Dynamite Girls shoes, but not the usual Poppy Parker shoes.  

After the convention, a small number of these dolls were offered in a lottery to W Club members.

Joyous Celebration Poppy Parker

W Club exclusive for 2014
Original price: $120
Limited Edition of ?
Expected shipping date:  Fall 2014

Joyous Celebration was a club exclusive released for the fifth anniversary of the Poppy Parker line. 

She had dark brunette hair in a tight braided bun on top of her head, and used the Caucasian/FR white skintone.  Her eyes were blue and left-glancing, with golden eyeshadow and applied eyelashes. 

She had similar coloring and the same eye screening as the Bergdorf Goodman Poppy ("Fashion's Night Out") from 2010.  This was probably intentional, as the Bergdorf Poppy sold out fast and became one of the most sought-after Poppys of all time, commanding extremely high prices on the secondary market.  (Over $1,000.)  Fans had been requesting a Poppy similar to Bergdorf for years, and it seems that Integrity Toys responded by producing Joyous Celebration.

She came with long white gloves, elaborate rhinestone dangle earrings,  a rhinestone bracelet, a pink clutch purse and pink pumps with bows on them.


Code Name: Arm Candy

Part of the main line release for 2014
Original price: $120
Limited Edition of 700
Summer 2014

This doll was part of a set released in 2014 with a spy movie/TV show theme.

This was a Chip Farnsworth doll, so he used the Chip head sculpt on the FR Homme body.  He had the Caucasian/FR white skintone, and had black hair and forward-facing blue eyes.   He came with a black briefcase that really opened, a watch and a gun.


Mayhem in Monte Carlo

Part of the main line release for 2014
Original price: $120
Limited Edition of 800
Summer 2014

This doll was part of a set released in 2014 with a spy movie/TV show theme.

This Poppy had forward-facing green eyes, and strawberry blonde hair swept up in a glamorous updo.  She had applied eyelashes and pink eyeshadow.  She used the Caucasian/FR white skintone.

She came with a silver gun, long white gloves, pink dangle rhinestone earrings, a pink jeweled bracelet, a pink rhinestone ring, a plain black clutch purse and black pumps. 




Sebina Havoc: Mistress of Disguise

Part of the main line release for 2014
Original price: $120
Limited Edition of 700
Summer 2014

This doll was part of a set released in 2014 with a spy movie/TV show theme.

This was a highly unusual doll for the Poppy Parker line, because it came with two heads, one with the Loni Lawrence sculpt, and one with the Poppy Parker sculpt.  The Loni sculpt was first used by Integrity Toys for a line of Breakfast at Tiffany's dolls as the character Holly Golightly, but later found life within the Poppy Parker line.

The Sebina Havoc doll had a special neck knob that Integrity Toys called "the Quickswitch System,"  which allowed the doll to switch heads easily.


The back story behind this doll was that as an actress, Loni was playing a character called Sebina Havoc in a spy thriller, and needed to disguise herself ... so she disguised herself using Poppy's face. 

The Poppy head had silver hair, grey eyes and silvery eyebrows. 

Like the other characters with the spy theme, she (they?) came with a gun.
