The new W Club year begins with two new fashion packs for Poppy Parker

Before March ends, and after the registration period for the 2024 W Club membership passed, the first release of the year is two outfits for Poppy Parker doll, both of which are no surprise to club members. One is the companion outfit for the gorgeous 2024 W Club upgrade doll, "Angel Eyes" Poppy Parker, which was revealed during the upgrade presentation: the "Tweed Intrigue" fashion. The other is the Poppy Parker fashion based on Jason Kramer's winning entry in the 2023 International Integrity Toys Design Competition, "Boho Go!", announced last year.

 I could not find any Kelly Garret outfit from the 70s on-line that resembles this one, but it surely looks like something she (even Jaclyn Smith, the actress portraying her) would have worn back in the day. It looks perfect for the era and for the character, with lots of items and accessories that could even used with other Poppy stuff. Will probably get this for my upgrade Poppy.

Jason Cramer is a very creative guy and has awesome ideas in this outfit - from the textures and colouring to the faux-embroidery skirt print and accessories. Even me, not a boho style fan at all, am still on the fence about ordering this for my dolls, Jason’s genius is that great. And that bag is scrumptious. Bravo Jason for winning the contest and making such a wonderful outfit for Poppy!

Defiant Rayna designed by Jason Kramer, winner of 2015 Integrity Toys convention design contest, available for preorder

Last year at the Cinematic Integrity Toys convention, there was the Official Integrity Toys Advanced Design competition. The winner was Jason Kramer with Defiant, modelled by a Natalia Fashion Royalty doll. The winning design, picked by the members of the Integrity Toys design team, after adjustments to make it production ready while preserving the spirit of Jason's original design, is now ready for preorder. A major change is that instead of Natalia, the doll wearing the outfit is now Rayna. W Club members can pre-order as many dolls as they like, so the total edition size will be based on how many pre-orders are received. The doll is also available for the general public to preorder, you can click on this link.

Rayna™ is a 12.5-inch fully articulated vinyl fashion doll with long, silky fully rooted hair and hand-applied eyelashes. Her look that can be worn multiple ways is composed of a high-contrast custom printed removable plaid skirt over high-waisted capris and a black micro sequined sleeveless top, finished with a multi-strand chain necklace, oversized hoop earrings, cuff bracelets, high-heels and a clutch purse. A doll stand and a numbered certificate of authenticity is also included. For adult collectors ages 15 and up.

Hmmm... Rayna is one of the rarest Integrity Toys sculpts, first premiered as an unknown doll wearing an outfit for sale and has only been released as part of conventions or special events, while lately she appeared as part of an ITBE collection but in a dark skin tone. I was looking forward for a more easily available version of hers and now she's here. But she does not look like Rayna at all. Look at the photo below and tell me you'd recognise the same character if no one told you who it was.

I do not know why the designers picked this particular doll to use the small, slanted eye design but it is a total disaster - it is not Rayna. So, while the outfit is gorgeous and I'd love to have it in my collection, the doll will keep me off buying it. We were informed that she has painted eyes so I cannot attribute the look to the newly available, and much discussed, decal eyes that the company used on some dolls. It is a major disappointment for me. I know some people will pre-order her in the hope that Integrity will redesign the eyes but I cannot commit like this. And no one should have to.

So who is the talented Jason Kramer? He began working in design straight out of college, where he majored in Theatre Arts, with an emphasis in Costume design. He has designed costumes for both theatre and dance productions, and now works as Artistic Director and Lead Designer at a costume design company that specializes in custom made dance wear. When he's not working, he spends most of his free time with his husband James and their dog Apollo in their Long Beach, California home. 

The inspiration for this design was grunge fashion, with a more contemporary and chic interpretation. He collects dolls for the last 15 years. His favourite era of fashion is the Dior New Look. Favourite IT sculpts include Eugenia, Natalia, Elyse and Tulabelle.
