IFDC Peace of My Heart Doll

IFDC Peace of My Heart Doll

Very cute doll with an adorable outfit consisting of a pleated embellished mini dress, embroidered vest, large floppy straw hat, knee-hi gladiator boots, shoulder bag, jewelry & sunglasses. This doll has the standard flat foot but the boots have a bit of a wedge.






 Her two additional hands consist of a peace sign and the I love you hand sign.

Another Hippie Poppy and I Really Don't Care, Do You?

With so many members of the W Club who weren't even born yet in the 60's and who don't have any idea about what it was like, this doll will be ideal. As far as I'm concerned, she's just another hippie wannabe doll. The one unique thing I see is a hand making the peace sign. Now that's different and it's pretty funny. It looks slightly small but that may just be the photo.
I must tell you that most 'real' hippies do not have highlighted hair and do not wear eye makeup. But Poppy is not real and I really don't care. She looks as if she really doesn't care either. Do you?




"Free Spirit" 

A Little Nazi

Joni Mitchell-Woodstock (1969 Live)


I came upon a child of God

He was walking along the road
And I asked him, where are you going
And this he told me
I'm going on down to Yasgur's farm
I'm going to join in a rock 'n' roll band
I'm going to camp out on the land
I'm going to try an' get my soul free
We are stardust
We are golden
And we've got to get ourselves
Back to the garden
Then can I walk beside you

I have come here to lose the smog
And I feel to be a cog in something turning
Well maybe it is just the time of year
Or maybe it's the time of man
I don't know who l am
But you know life is for learning
We are stardust
We are golden
And we've got to get ourselves
Back to the garden
By the time we got to Woodstock

We were half a million strong
And everywhere there was song and celebration
And I dreamed I saw the bombers
Riding shotgun in the sky
And they were turning into butterflies
Above our nation
We are stardust
Billion year old carbon
We are golden
Caught in the devil's bargain
And we've got to get ourselves
Back to the garden

IFDC "Never Predictable" Doll

One of the three Integrity Toys' dolls at this year's IFDC was "Never Predictable." I purchased her on an impulse as I love that long curly haired style and the gown looked pretty. 


I was not disappointed with the fashion. It's not what I would call great but it is made very well and fits beautifully. I don't love the color. The accessories were matching shoes with fiddly string ties that I had to tape to the back of her legs, panties, a chunky gold metal bangle and boring earrings and a ring. There were full-length gloves as well which I didn't even try to put on as I don't have the patience for gloves like that.



I don't like the sculpt at all. She's very hard-looking. Her face looks all angled and pointy to me. Her sculpt is called Adaline King and I think she must have been one of the color infusion faces. Why would they do that for a convention companion doll? 

So, I will try to sell her head.

I have redressed an older Vanessa in the fashion and I am pleased. She is holding her hand up because I had to put a touch of glue on the back of the finger wearing the ring. I do that with all my dolls who wear rings. The glue comes off with no residue and I don't lose rings.

W-Club Members Only "RIGHT TO BUY" Lottery For The 2017 IFDC Dolls




Integrity Toys produced three dolls for the 2017 IFDC convention which was called "Dollton Abbey."

Dolls With Guns

As if things weren't bad enough in the world as far as shootings and other violence, Integrity Toys has put out an IFDC doll shown aiming a gun. She is called "Anja as Agent 355."

I'm shaking my head at the stupidity and inappropriate actions of this with regards to a doll pointing a gun. Maybe the next one will have an AK-47.


Now you can recreate your favorite shooting scenes. Oh the joy.

There's nothing glamorous about a doll with a gun.

Poppy Parker 5th Anniversary Collection 2014 IFDC IT DIRECT Exclusive

 The W Club sent out this information to it's members earlier today. 

We just heard from the team and since they are starting to sell the IT Direct exclusive doll at the show, the W Club is happy to bring you dear members a first look at this very special Poppy Parker doll, a part of the fantastic 5th Anniversary souvenir collection!
Evening Ingenue

My first glimpse of this new Poppy was on my iPhone and I thought it was a 16" version.  She looks graceful and mature. A friend collector pointed out a similarity in her gown to that of "Forever" Vanessa Perrin's dress. The fabric looks similar but the scale of the lace overlay is nicer and so is the style. Sadly, Vanessa's dress was not popular at all. I believe this Poppy and her fashion will be extremely popular. 

More information on Evening Ingenue will be sent out after IFDC's Saturday night reveal of the event souvenir and the companion dolls.


New 16" Jamieshow IFDC Exclusive Dolls

Marlena "Toast of Tinsel Town" LE 50    Resin BJD  $475.

Marlena, the Toast of Tinsel town, will seduce you with her languid stare and sinuous blonde locks. Wearing a satin 3 piece Tuxedo outfit and sporting her top hat, she is ready for a night on the town. Pale blue eyes, smoky eyeshadow and rosy cheeks, she is a site [sic] for sore eyes. Marlena wears a blonde curled JAMIEshow rooted wig cap, comes with a stand and is a very limited edition for IFDC.

 OONA  "Cool Breeze in Vegas" LE 100   Resin BJD  $425.

Mel Odom and JAMIEshow Introduce Oona, "Cool Breeze in Vegas". With sultry lavender eyes and blonde swirling rooted wig cap, Oona is dressed in a lovely blue dress with white accents, framed at the waist and bowed in the back. Panythose, purse, scarf, a diamond brooch and matching earrings adorn her body, as well as matching red patent leather pumps. 
 __________

In addition to these two 16" dolls, Jamieshow revealed three new 12" resin bjd's. They are 'miniatures' of the existing 16" sculpts Grace, Eshe and Ginny. I have one demi body which I've used here to replace a Silkstone body. It's excellent. Separate bodies used to be available. I don't know if they will be offered again.


 http://www.jamieshow.us/DEMI-COUTURE_c_15.html

DEMI-COUTURE Collection dolls are 12" tall and made out of the same fine resin as JAMIEshow 16" BJD Fashion Dolls.  Each doll is cast, sanded, blushed, assembled and painted by hand.  So every doll is a one of kind doll.  They are the same body size as FR and Barbie, so they can share their clothes.  Each doll has 17 points of articulation including upper hip and double jointed elbows.  Dolls are sporting newly re-degined [sic] rooted wig caps and also come with solid cap for size 4 wigs.

IFDC's Kesenia and Rayna Dolls

Once again, of the many benefits of being an international shipping buddy is getting to play with dolls that I do not own. Long Cool Woman Kesenia and Rock Me, Baby Rayna are temporary visitors to PA.
I rarely photograph dolls on stands however in this case, I could not remove the plastic from their legs so I decided to just go with it. The shoes on each doll are very nice with their tiny zippers that make it so easy to get them on and off. 
Underneath her jacket, Rayna wears a shirt that has string criss-crossed with the ends tied in a big bow. Not my taste so I put up the lapels of her jacket and tucked the strings inside. 

Each doll comes with very nice jewelry including a ring.
Nice ring but you may be able to see the difference in color between Kesenia's arms and hands. The hands are yellowish and the rest of her body is not. Not good. I guess if you wait long enough the body may yellow to match the hands.

Kesenia's sculpt is one of my least favorite as she was originally one of the Brides of Dracula.
Remember these?


However, in the LCW version, her mouth is painted with a darker pink lip color-shadow and her teeth aren't as large as other versions.
Long Cool Woman is the best Kesenia to-date IMO. I love her eyes which are two shades of blue-green. Her eyeshadow is a shade that goes really well with her lips. On her tan face, the pink is really pretty.

I'm wondering if IT will ever stop using the color-block look for the eye makeup, eyebrows and lips. It would be nice to see a more painterly approach to facial screening on a few dolls.

JAMIEshow Grace Tries on Wigs

The 2011 IFDC JAMIEshow exclusive doll, Grace, had her first real photo shoot today. She tried on a bunch of wigs. She photographs beautifully with her high cheekbones and beautifully painted eyes and mouth. Her resin has a satin finish with a good amount of body blushing.
Although she looks amazing in her original wild orange-red wig (first photo below), it's not my favorite type of wig to work with due to the stray hairs everywhere. The same goes for the fourth wig below which is Eshe's original wig. It takes a lot of post-processing to put out a photo that I like.
Both of these are wig caps which are unique to this line of dolls. The caps are themselves rooted and just pop onto the back of the head and are held on by a magnet. They are sold separately for $30 and can be seen at Angelic Dreamz. The red and blonde curly wigs below came with the dolls noted.
