Studio 77 is ready to dance the night away!

It looks like this is the year of fashion only releases! After the two Poppy Parker ensembles revealed earlier this year, we now have three new outfits made to order for W Club members. They are designed to fit Fashion Royalty and similar 1:6 scale dolls and created by Integrity Toys designer Chris Stoeckel. Chris changed era for this release and, instead of his usual 1950s fare, he was inspired by fashions worn by celebrities seen at Studio 54 during the late 1970s and early 1980s.

The Story:

Looking for a totally glam way to dress up your favorite dolls? Integrity Toys and designer Chris Stoeckel are thrilled to bring you a series of three sensational outfit sets (sold separately) inspired by the late 1970s New York nightclub scene! Designed to fit Fashion Royalty and other similar 1:6 scale (12.5-inch tall) fashion dolls.

As the velvet rope parted, a wave of anticipation rippled through the crowd, heralding the arrival of the evening's luminaries, New York's entire "who's who", the celebs everyone adored! Adorned in their finest designer creations, they glided into Studio 77, their presence electrifying the air with a palpable aura of glamour. Flashbulbs erupted like fireworks as they made their way to the VIP section, smiles as dazzling as their fame gracing their lips. In that moment, Studio 77 was not just a nightclub—it was a stage, and the fashion statements being made night after night would go on to be remembered forever! -Designed by Chris Stoeckel

Included:

Mix-and-match fashion look includes a chartreuse chiffon blouse with blouson sleeves and neck tie detail, high-waist pinstripe pants and matching pinstripe blazer with removable flower;

Removable belt;

Chartreuse bra top;

Luxury clutch purse;

Fedora with chartreuse band;

Golden high-heeled shoes with ankle strap;

"Gold" cuff bracelets;

"Gold" hoop earrings;

Certificate of authenticity;

This is right up my alley. I love a pinstripe suit for my dolls (and do not own one already), plus the gorgeous green blouse is a winner - with the bra top too! This looks for me will be always related to the famous Helmut Newton photograph of an Yves Saint-Laurent pinstripe suit from 1975. There are images of Bianca Jagger and Diane Von Furstenberg with pinstripes from the era (Diane’s is from Studio 54 no less). I would have preferred that the pant hem touched the ground, but I love it anyway. The fedora is the cherry on top!

The Story:

Amid the pulsating thump of the bass and the kaleidoscope of swirling lights, Studio 77 transformed into a realm of hedonistic delight, where inhibitions were shed like last season's fashion. Bodies swayed in rhythm to the music, a symphony of movement and energy that seemed to transcend time itself. In this swirling vortex of decadence, every moment was a tableau of ecstasy and abandon, as stylish strangers became friends and the night unfolded in a whirlwind of laughter, dance, and fleeting glances. The people, the clothes, the looks, the music... All a testament to the timeless allure of the ultimate nightclub experience! -Designed by Chris Stoeckel.

Mix-and-match fashion look includes a sexy bordeaux ultra-deep plunge front bodysuit with matching bordeaux wide leg pants;

Matching bordeaux "fur" coat;

Long "gold" neck chain with drops;

"Gold" cuff bracelets;

"Gold" square earrings;

Certificate of authenticity.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Prototypes shown, final product may vary. Fashion only, doll not included. This collectible is meant for adult collectors ages 15 and up only.

 This looks like something Jerry Hall or Patti Hansen (the Rolling Stones original wives club) would have worn back in the day, but I could not find any photo online - she appears with a plunging neckline plus fur coat in some photos but it is a draped V neck dress. I did find this daring outfit that comes close. Again I’d have preferred the pant hem to touch the floor. Gorgeous colour.

The Story:

In the pulsating heart of Studio 77, amid a symphony of disco beats and kaleidoscopic lights, there stood a vision of elegance and allure, the epitome of 1970s glamour! Fashionably wrapped in a cascade of chiffon, her beauty shimmered like the night sky, every step a dance of grace and poise. With her stylish designer outfit, she commanded the VIP section with an air of effortless chic, a martini in one hand and the other beckoning admirers like moths to a flame. As she swayed to the rhythm of the music, she embodied the essence of timeless style and the intoxicating allure of Studio 77. -Designed by Chris Stoeckel

Barbie collaborates with Kartell to release doll-size versions of their most popular chairs!

I love doll sized furniture, especially when they are designer chairs. And now we have a new collaboration that results in some iconic chairs being released in Barbie size pink coloured versions! Kartell, the famous acrylic furniture brand, has collaborated with Mattel, making a set of five of their most popular chair designs in 1/6 scale. The set will be available from Mattel Creations on the 16th of April 2024, 9.00 am PT. The price is $60.00 for the set.

Mattel Creations partnered with Kartell, the Milan-based design company known for transforming furniture into art, to recreate five of their iconic designs for Barbie. These bold and elevated doll-sized interpretations also delve into the future of plastics, using innovative materials to produce unique seating pieces. They’re the perfect chairs for your Barbie collection.

• Barbie™ x Kartell 5-Piece Doll-Sized Chair Set

• Includes doll-sized Louis Ghost, Masters, A.I., Venice, and Ero|S| chairs

• Color: Barbie doll’s own unique shade of pink, PANTONE 219 C

• Chairs: Linked to 69% ISCC-Certified Bio-Based Plastic (mass balance approach)

• Packaging components: 100% FSC recycled paper

• Material insert: 20% wood pulp/80% bamboo pulp, 100% recycled, and recyclable

• Package dimensions: 25.50” x 4.75” x 8.50” (64.77 x 12.07 x 21.59 cm)

® Kartell

SKU#: HWY48

The five chair designs are: the famous Louis Ghost, Masters, A.I., Venice, and Ero|S| chairs, all designed by the world renowned designer Philippe Starck for Kartell. They all come in pink coloured plastic, with Louis Ghost and Ero|S| being transparent. They are made with Kartell materials (bio based plastic) and the packaging is from recycled materials, something that (unfortunately) is not the norm for Mattel. I love the box and the way they are nestled inside it. What a magnificent set, not only for doll collectors but also for design lovers! And the price is great, as usually miniature chairs are quite expensive when coming from furniture companies.

Cold Carbon X Integrity Toys collaboration: the two final dolls are here!

The final two of four dolls in the Integrity Toys X Cold Carbon Collaboration were revealed to club members on the 3rd of April. They are designed by Marina Zrnić, who has established her Cold Carbon OOAK doll brand and is very popular with collectors. She has a very distinct style, incorporating goth, steampunk and cyberpunk elements. Early this year we had the first two dolls in this collaboration revealed, and they are arriving just now to the lucky winners of that lottery. Just so you know, Marina announced that she will stop making dolls after this year, to focus on her other work. Both dolls are again lottery opportunities for W Club members for the right to buy. If there are any left, they will then be offered to the general public.

Blood Moon

Tenzin Dahkling™ Fashion Figure

Integrity Toys X Cold Carbon

Edition Size: 1200

Expected Ship Date: May 2024

W CLUB ONLY IT DIRECT RIGHT-TO-BUY LOTTERY

Head Sculpt: Tenzin

Body Type: Homme 1.5

Skin Tone: Hungarian

Hair Color: Silver

MSRP: $199 + S & H

Special W Club RTB Winner Price: $175 + S & H

Sales method: This is being sold to W Club members via a W Club right-to-buy lottery offer. Should any product remain after fully placing the lottery, it would then be made available to the public and for purchasing extras at the MSRP.

The Story:

In the third of four sensational dolls created for Integrity Toys X Cold Carbon Collaboration, you are invited to be part of the story and enter the chilling, haunting world of vampire hunters!

In the dimly lit streets of the village, the dapper figure of Tenzin Dahkling glided with effortless grace, his cane tapping rhythmically against the cobblestones. With a debonair charm and keen intellect, he was not your typical vampire hunter. Clad in tailored suits and polished boots, Tenzin exuded an air of sophistication as he tracked down the creatures of the night. His cane, more than a mere accessory, was poised to strike at any undead foe. With each encounter, Tenzin Dahkling proved that style and substance were the perfect weapons against the darkness that lurked in the dimly lit shadows cast by the blood moon.

Included:

• 12.5-inch articulated fashion figure with rooted hair;

• Mystical look comprised of a white button-down collared shirt, black pants with a slightly cropped hem and dramatic black cape coat;

• Red satin necktie;

• Top hat;

• Oversized metal tipped black "crocodile skin" shoes;

• Custom-embellished walking stick;

• Vintage "leather" doctor's bag;

• Bull head pendant necklace;

• Steampunk style sunglasses;

• Detachable chain with cross charm;

• Ring;

• Socks;

• Pair of regular Homme hands;

• Alternate pair of gloved hands;

• Fashion figure stand;

• Story card;

• Certificate of authenticity.

Is it weird that the male doll is again the best of the two in this second Cold Carbon release? Or is it just me? I usually like the ladies more in Marina’s personal OOAK releases, but in this collaboration it has been the exact opposite. I love Tenzin, have two of his three iterations so far, so I’m entering the lottery for this guy and cross fingers. He’s exceptional. Hair, face, clothes, accessories, all combine into something really beautiful and well thought of. I just wish the hat’s crown was a bit wider to sit better on the head. I thought he was a vampire at first look, the whole style reminds me of Coppola’s Dracula gone West. Those glasses! I hope they stay properly on the face and not slide off. He should have had better socks though, they look like sport socks lol.

All That Vampire Drama

Kesenia Valentinova™ Dressed Doll

Integrity Toys X Cold Carbon

Edition Size: 1200

Expected Ship Date: May 2024

W CLUB ONLY IT DIRECT RIGHT-TO-BUY LOTTERY

Head Sculpt: Kesenia

Body Type: FR 6.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: Porcelain

Hair Color: Black

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

MSRP: $199 + S & H

Special W Club RTB Winner Price: $175 + S & H

Sales method: This is being sold to W Club members via a W Club right-to-buy lottery offer. Should any product remain after fully placing the lottery, it would then be made available to the public and for purchasing extras at the MSRP.

The Story:

The hunt continues to rid the world of a dark plague that is creating fear in the hearts of all humanity! For the fourth and final sensational doll created for this Integrity Toys X Cold Carbon Collaboration, the tables turn around and the chase will start yielding results... Vampires beware, the hunters are drawing near!

Kesenia Valentinova was more than just a fashionable socialite—she was a relentless hunter of the undead, reveling in the drama her chosen path brought her. With a vial of blood elegantly displayed around her neck, she lured vampires with the promise of their most coveted prize. Adorned in the finest fabrics, carrying an innocent looking umbrella that doubles as her weapon of preference, Kesenia danced around her fellow vampire hunters, her every move a carefully orchestrated hunt. For her, the thrill of the chase was as intoxicating as the finest champagne, and she embraced it with flair, proving that even amidst the glitz and glamour, the shadows held secrets waiting to be unveiled.

Included:

• 12.5-inch articulated doll with rooted hair and hand-applied eyelashes;

• Feminine gothic look comprised of a black lace and satin bustier cami and black satin skinny cropped pants with pleat and front-slit detailing;

• Vintage-inspired velvet floral print robe coat with "fur" collar and pockets;

• Removable black belt;

• Metal tipped black high-heeled ankle boots;

• Functional black umbrella;

• Red headband;

• Three interchangeable chin piercings including a "silver" stud, a spider and drop piercing;

• Black sunglasses;

• Necklace with "blood-filled" pendant (for attracting vampires!);

• Hoop earrings with removable crosses;

• Pair of black and red manicured hands;

• Alternate pair of "grip" hands;

• Doll stand;

• Story card;

• Certificate of authenticity.

First thing that struck me upon seeing this one is the chin piercing. Apparently it is called labret. We have had dolls with piercings before but not on this spot. But the weird think is the size of the piercing jewellery, not the spot it is on. It looks like she has a goatee or something with that spider hanging there. Other than that, the doll is beautiful and reminds me a lot of a couple of the first Kesenias, Porcelain Beauty and Follow The Line. I generally do not like fringe on my dolls so I’d pass this anyway and I also have Porcelain Beauty, who looks a lot like her. I love her coat and accessories, and luckily I have a similar umbrella from the American Horror Story: Coven Fiona Goode doll. Remember that the Kesenia sculpt was the one used originally for the Ashton Drake Brides of Dracula dolls.

One final note: I keep seeing comments everywhere about how the IT X Cold Carbon dolls are watered down versions of Marina’s OOAK dolls. Well, you’d have to pay $990 to get that level of detail and customising, not $175. Below is a video showing the dolls rotating.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Prototypes shown, final product may vary. Background and props are not included. These collectibles are meant for adult collectors ages 15 and up only.

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.

Barbie celebrated her 65th birthday this year but it's not the anniversary dolls that make me interested!

Barbara Millicent Roberts celebrated her 65th birthday this year - and of course there were the corresponding collector’s anniversary dolls to mark the occasion (along with a slew of play-line releases) but it was not any of them that caught my eye. Instead, I loved a new release exclusive to Mattel Creations, available for sale on the 21st of March 2024 on their website: Barbie Styled by Design Doll 1.

BARBIE STYLED BY DESIGN DOLL 1

SKU: HRM31

Label: Gold

Collection: Barbie Styled by Design

For our first entry in the Styled by Design series, we put the spotlight on designer Suim Noh to create a fabulous new Barbie doll. Inspired by fashion illustrations from the 1970s, Suim captured the decade’s exaggerated style with a bright pink satin dress featuring an oversized bow. Accessorized with black gloves, stiletto over-the-knee boots, and rhinestone accessories, this doll reflects Suim’s vision of elegance, extravagance, and nostalgia.

SKU#: HRM31

What a gorgeous Barbie doll - and without the usual sweet smile that they have (65th anniversary dolls included). The sculpt is Claudette, which is usually, if not only, found on collector limited editions, and it is one of my very favourites, because of the high fashion look it has. Her face paint looks good, if you ignore the black crease line in her eyes that shows the dreaded pixels (I mean… they could have avoided that, right?). Her hairstyle is too simple for such a doll, but I am guessing it helps keep the cost down. Would have preferred her being in the pivotal body.

I love her dress and the colour combination - very French. Also notice that she has metallic jewellery and her boots are made of fabric and not plastic! All these should be self evident in collector dolls but with Mattel there is no guarantee. Too bad she is such a limited edition and will disappear in a blink of the eyes. I’d love to have her and it looks like she’s the first in a series, so I’m excited to see what comes next. She looks great in her box too.
