Barefoot in the Park: Poppy Parker as Corie Bratter

Barefoot in the Park
Poppy Parker as Corie Bratter
Limited Edition of 800 sets
Original price: $160.
Ship date: Late Sept. 2013


Two sets of dolls based on the 1967 movie "Barefoot in the Park" were offered for pre-order in July 2013.  The first was a Poppy Parker doll set with three fashions; the second a Poppy and Chip set.  The movie was based on a Neil Simon play, and starred Robert Redford and Jane Fonda.

"Poppy Parker as Corie Bratter" had forward-facing blue eyes with neutral-toned eyeshadow and neutral lips.  She had applied upper eyelashes and used the same eye screening as "Foto Fab," "In The Air" and "Sweet in Switzerland."  Her hair was a reddish-blonde updo, and she used the "Caucasian" skintone (re-branded in 2013 as "FR White"). 

She came with three coats, three pairs of shoes, two dresses and one sweater-and-skirt fashion. 

Outfit #1 consisted of a red, long-sleeved turtleneck sweater with a striped miniskirt in faux suede.  It had a matching camel-colored faux suede coat, with off-black pantyhose and black boots that came to mid-thigh.

Outfit #2 is the ensemble used in a dinner scene in the movie.  It had a light pink mini-length dress with a bow at the shoulder, with a coat from a darker pink fabric.  The set had tan pumps and nude pantyhose. 

Outfit #3 was a blue mini-length dress covered by a blue coat with dark fake fur trim.  It used dark gray pumps.  This dress wasn't actually shown in the movie.  The designers wanted to create a dress to go with the blue coat from the film's opening scene, in which Corie and Paul go for a carriage ride and announce to the audience that they had just gotten married.

Accessories also included two clutch purses in dark brown and tan; two gold bracelets, hoop earrings and a wedding ring.

Ship date: Late Sept. 2013

Poppy had a forward-facing eye screening with no bottom lashes, but with applied upper lashes.  Her eyes were blue, and she had neutral-toned eyeshadow and lips.  Her hair was copper and pulled back from her face, with long, wispy bangs.  Eyebrows matched the hair.

She was dressed in a pumpkin-colored sweater and long, brown corduroy pants with a belt.  She had a casual-style beige coat with a hood.  Her shoes were brown ankle boots.  She came with hoop earrings and a wedding ring, but no purse or bag. 

Chip had forward-facing blue eyes, with golden blond hair and brown eyebrows.  He came in a suit that sported a light blue shirt, navy blue tie and a dark gray jacket and pants.  Over this he wore a charcoal gray single-breasted coat with a light gray scarf.  He had black shoes, a watch and wedding ring. 

Both dolls used the "Caucasian" skintone (re-branded in 2013 as "FR White"). 

Updated the Eye Chart

I just updated the eye chart with six new 2013 dolls: the five International Fair Poppy Parkers, plus the W Club doll "To The Fair."  You can find the new chart here. 

2013 News

I've started updating some of the listings with "live" pics of the new 2013 dolls.  I just updated the Poppy Parker Resource with new, live photos of "To The Fair," "Pretty in Polynesia," and "Sweet in Switzerland."  I'll be working on doing new photos of India, Spain and Japan soon, as well as updating the descriptions of each. 

I'll also be posting about each one on my DollyPanic! blog.

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.

To The Fair! Poppy Parker

W Club exclusive "upgrade doll" for 2013.
Original price: $135, which included a W Club membership.
Shipping date: June 2013
Limited Edition of 1175 dolls


"To The Fair!" was one of the two upgrade dolls available to people who signed up for Integrity Toys' W Club in 2013.  The other was "Love The One" Kyori from their Fashion Royalty line.

She was promoted with the following backstory (text by Integrity Toys): "Poppy is now the official spokes model for the 1964 International Fair!  Poppy is in a jazzy new promotion campaign portraying a tour guide at the Fair. She can be seen all over the world in posters and magazine ads. She's even made a commercial on TV! Poppy also just finished a large photo shoot that ties into the International Fair for Teen Girl magazine. This is the largest modeling campaign that Poppy's ever been in and she can't believe that her dream of stardom is coming true!"

According to Integrity, the 1964 World's Fair was the inspiration for the entire 2013 Poppy Parker line.

Poppy had left-glancing, bright blue eyes with a natural peachy eyeshadow palette and applied eyelashes.  She shared the same eye screening with "Fashion's Night Out/Bergdorf," "I Love How You Love Me" and "Ask Any Girl." Her lips were a light peach, and her eyebrows were light brown.

She had wavy golden blonde hair that was a barely-noticeable shade darker than the hair on the similar "I Love How You Love Me."

Integrity describes her outfit as a "turquoise tour guide uniform."  The uniform had a separate sleeveless white blouse that fastened with hooks down the front.  The skirt, jacket, shoes and pillbox-type hat were all a matching shade of turquoise blue.  The shoes were not solid blue, but instead were a blue snakeskin-style print outlined in white.  

Her only jewelry was some simple pearl stud earrings.  She had a blue and orange shoulder bag, a small orange scarf, and nude pantyhose.
