Jada Toys Produces Miles from Tomorrowland R/C Collection
A French Name Does Not Always a Great Doll Make
Integrity Toys put lots of effort into "Ombres Poétique" Mademoiselle Jolie, the last 2014 W Club exclusive doll, but missed the mark. The gown, which could have been drop dead gorgeous, is a boring, boring beige with forgettable trim.
It consists of layer upon layer of tulle, all the same color. They had an opportunity to actually create an ombre (shaded, nuanced) effect by using graduated colors and eliminating the trim.
I would have rather have the gown in all black but Tulle is so fragile, I'm wondering if I dare dye it.
Maybe some other brave soul will attempt it first.

The accessories are the clutch purse which has a nice embroidered design, a lovely necklace and matching earrings. Getting the necklace required using jewelers' pliers to open the hook a bit. I like that the clutch opens so the doll can insert a finger to actually hold it.
The ribbon ties on the shoes are a fiddly annoyance. I found that the arch of the shoe did not conform to the doll's feet but they stayed on anyway.
In addition, the mini giftset comes with some lingerie which I haven't put on a doll yet.

If I were going to keep mine, I'd repaint her lips as I don't think the parted mouth does anything for this particular sculpt.

In 2007, the same sculpt was used for two IFDC dolls as Luchia Z. Photos below are IT promo.
After that it was anyone's guess who was who as Isha lost her ethnic edge in all the incarnations except in "Purple Pose."
Another doll named Imogen used the sculpt as well, not too successfully I might add.
There may be more. Only the Shadow knows.
Ed. NOTE: I have been corrected. Imogen is not the same as Isha/Luchia.

ThreeA's Megatron emerges from a slumber next week
Another ThreeA figure hits the Bambaland store next week: the grand Deception leader, Megatron arrives for pre-orders. Not the awesome 1980s Megatron or the best Megatron, but the bulky Michael Bay Transformers film version. I'm not a huge fan of the Bay-era designs, but at least ThreeA's figure will have all the details (and articulation) for fans who really want him.
Pre-orders begin Friday, Jan. 30, at 9 a.m. Hong Kong Time (8 p.m. Eastern Thursday, Jan. 29) on the Bambaland store. A price wasn't listed on the World of ThreeA production blog, but if we find one out, we'll let you know ahead of time.
