Integrity 2010 Lines – Monograms

Sunday, March 28th, 2010

So here are the 2010 Integrity Toy Doll lines on this blog finally… or at least the beginnings of it.

I shall start with the Monograms, mostly because in terms of dolls of color there’s pretty much nothing to say about them so it’s an easy (but not so nice) start for the review of the 2010 lines here.

2010 Monograms*

So here we have the Monograms, a doll series that seems to share just one face sculpt for now. From left to right you have -

Brilliance – blue eyed, soft tanned skin brunette (wigged) doll, I suppose she could be partially African or South American… but she looks more Italian than anything else to me!

Disclosure – brown eyed, pale skinned raven haired doll = no comment here

Dreamscape – blue eyed, pale skinned raven hair doll = no comment here

Enigmatic – green eyed, pale skinned redhead (wigged) = no comment here

Incandescent – grey eyed, pale skinned brunette = no comment here

Magnetism (Aussie Convention Doll released just yesterday) – green eyed, pale skinned redhead = no comment here

So… if your idea of diversity is an increase in redheads, then you’ve got it! Or… you could go for the Italian…

Personal boo boo – have ordered Enigmatic because… ? Would have loved to get Brilliance but she was accidently released to dealers before she was to be revealed and now she’s sold out and I didn’t look into her because I was trying to avoid the Monograms!

Other (mostly likely better and more informative) reviews of the 2010 Monogram dolls -

Remember That Sunset OOAK Competition?

Monday, March 8th, 2010

Well, I haven’t forgotten but life (by life, I actually mean work itself alone) has been sooo hectic that I haven’t had a chance to do much else.

Since I’ve had no suggestions for a final submission date, it will now be decided to be the 18th of April 2010 which is the third Sunday next month.

For the competition requirements, check out Who Wants a Minty Mbili Doll? as originally posted on the 8th of October, last year 2009.

Recently, NiniMomo (OOAK Doll Artists) have added a Miss Florida Keys to their line of creations. As of now, this doll has been sold but you can still enjoy the photos (more…)
