W Club Lottery Announced
Looks like there will be plenty of lotteries this year in the W Club. That means that all the cheer leaders will definitely get the dolls they want. And that's the way it goes.
The 'discontinued' tall Fashion Royalty body isn't exactly discontinued. It's being used for the ITBE (Integrity Toys Basic Edition) dolls. When these dolls first came out a few years ago they called them "entry level collectibles." We all laughed at that expression. ITBE have grown up to be basic FR dolls without accessories or fancy fashions. This year their price is $75. each.
It's a good business move to keep these editions at only 300 and do lotteries. This way the dealers don't get their cut and the desire to have them rises because it's a lottery.
The last lottery dolls were so popular, possibly because Isha, Adele and Natalia were the offerings and they don't show up often. In addition, many collectors aren't into the high prices of the FR2 dolls so these bodies are just dandy.

The IT designers are playing mix and match with the vinyl colors of the characters. Isha was ghost-white while Adele faded and Natalia went darker.
The newly offered ITBE - or Wave 2 as they call it - is another four dolls. Vanessa, Kyori, Janay, and Monogram.
Vanessa is now a black woman with Caucasian features. They're calling her vinyl color A-tone. Kyori is being called black but I'm not quite sure what it really is. Janay, a play line doll sculpt, is making an appearance. She is one of Jason Wu's oldest character sculpts and I don't believe she has appeared as a Fashion Royalty doll - ever. She is on the Monogram body and her skin tone is called Miami. Her hair reminds me of the first Natalia doll, Cosmetic Takeover.
The original Natalia's sculpt was perfection. It did not need updating IMO.
Last is a standard Monogram doll with white skin and silver hair. I like her.

There is something here for most but not everyone will get what he or she wants. I want the Vanessa a lot because she has the Vanessa 1.0 (original) sculpt and where that is concerned, I'm a completist.
In keeping with the fact that these are "basic" dolls, the fashions are not "new" or embellished. They are being repeated in various colors as are the shoes. But it's a fun line. The only problem I see is that if you like all your dolls on the same height body such as FR2, you probably won't be able to find matches for these girls.
***If you are a member of the W Club and are not entering for Vanessa, please contact me. If you win the right to buy her and change your mind, please contact me.***

Good Smile Company announces it's delaying (almost) everything
OK, not quite everything but man, there are a LOT of delays this month. In fact, there are so many delays that GSC took the rare step of not bundling the announcement in with its upcoming release schedule. Instead, we got a separate press release complete with apology. Better brace yourself, because included in this long list are...
Good Smile Company
- Hatsune Miku: Deep Sea Girl ver.
- Rin Shibuya: New Generation Ver.
- Tsukihi Araragi (including alternate colour ver.)
Max Factory
Phat! Company
- Asuna
- Fiona
- Chihiro
- Hilda
- Cheska
- BB Girls Collection (Complete Collection)
- Seraphim: Bunny Ver.
- Rinka Kunitachi
- Mei Sagara
- Mana Tendou
ThreeA
Threezero
The crumb of comfort here is that everything in this list is only delayed one month, into April. Still, it's pretty shocking to see so many things delayed all at once. What's also worrying is that there are a lot of repeat offenders on the list, like Rin Shibuya, Miku 2020 and Tsukihi. Let's hope GSC can use the time to get its house in order, because this certainly isn't a great look for the company.
