The second email about the last dolls to be released for 2013 by Integrity Toys was about a new ITBE (Integrity Toys Basic Edition) doll collection. Imagine how surprised everyone was upon seeing that now two of these dolls will feature the FR tall articulated body (the third has the Monogram one) and characters from the Fashion Royalty family: this time it is Adele's 2nd sculpt, Isha (looking more like the former Luchia doll because of the skintone) and Natalia (the tweaked original sculpt, or Natalia 1.5 as IT calls it). All three dolls unveiled in this email are IT Direct Exclusive products which will be offered via a "right to buy" lottery approximately in January 2014. The lottery information for these dolls will be sent after the new year to both 2014 W Club members and members of the general public. The dolls were first unveiled during the IT convention this fall.

Item # 15024Shimmering CopperThe ITBE COLLECTIONLimited Edition of 300 DollsSuggested Retail Price: $75.00 USD Estimated Ship Date: First Week of January 2014Doll Tech Specs:Body Type: FR "Tall" Body (older generation articulated FR body with larger bust size)Head Sculpt: IshaQuick Switch Feature: NoSkin Tone: PorcelainHair Color: Bright RedEyelashes: YesPackage Dimensions: 13.5" X 4" X 2.25"This lady comes dressed in a cocktail sheath dress cinched at the waist by a delicate belt accented with a "bow" detail and includes shoes and a doll stand. Fully articulated doll with rooted hair and hand applied eyelashes. For adult collectors ages 14 and up. Amazing Isha/Luchia version, a must have again. The dress has the same cut as the one that Ready To Dare Natalia had (a W Club upgrade doll). The colouring reminds me of Style Mantra Eden but also of amazing Christina Hendricks as Joan Holloway in Mad Men.
Item # 15028Light StrikeThe ITBE COLLECTIONLimited Edition of 300 Dolls Suggested Retail Price: $75.00 USDEstimated Ship Date: First Week of January 2014Doll Tech Specs:Body Type: MonogramHead Sculpt: Natalia Fatale 1.5 (was last seen on IFDC "Wicked")Quick Switch Feature: NoSkin Tone: FR BlackHair Color: BrunetteEyelashes: YesPackage Dimensions: 13.5" X 4" X 2.25"This is the doll with the Monogram body (and a fashion taken off Jason Wu's S/S 2014 collection). She comes dressed in a high contrast pleated dress delicately cinched at the waist by a tiny "pleather" belt and includes shoes and a doll stand. Fully articulated doll with rooted hair and hand applied eyelashes. For adult collectors ages 14 and up. I love this version of Natalia too. It will definitely be hard to get any one of these dolls as the edition size is really small (300 dolls each) and there will be a lottery process available to all. I predict high secondary market prices afterwards. Sigh.
