2015 W Club Holds First Lottery of the Season
The W Club has opened their new doll selling season with an offering of six ITBE (Integrity Basic Edition) dolls. The lottery is for the right to buy and ends on March 11. It is only open to club members. Each doll will cost $99. plus shipping, handling and tax. Members can enter a ticket for each doll. Multiple memberships give multiple opportunities to win with a separate ticket for each entry.
On to the dolls. Reminder - you can click on pictures to see them full-sized.
My favorites are the Vanessa and the Isha with Anja a close third. I think if Vanessa and Isha had FR2 bodies, I'd really want them. As it is, I entered for only the Vanessa because even though she has the 2.0 sculpt, she looks very pretty.

I find Buxom, the Veronique sculpt, doesn't look like the Veronique I know. It could be the appearance of a smile or the dark skin tone. Something about her is not Vero.

Kesenia is still total vampire to me with all those teeth showing. But I do like the design of her lingerie more than all the rest.

The new Finley Price sculpt will appeal to those who like smiley dolls. She can be the arch enemy of Agnes. Her skin tone is listed as FR Black. The other dolls' skin tones are: Vanessa - Light Honey, Anja - Porcelain , Isha, Kesenia and Veronique - A-Tone.

So what do you all think of these ITBE dolls? Is there value here? Will you be entering the lotteries?

DST's Supergirl, Pinkie Pie, comic TMNT Minimates, and more on sale this Summer
Remember all of those cool things we saw at Diamond Select Toys' NY Toy Fair 2015 booth? Quite a few of the items are apparently due for a Summer release.
The selection includes:
- Femme Fatales Superman: The Animated Series Supergirl (yes, she's surprisingly part of the Femme Fatales line; it also means that she'll have an affordable US$45 MSRP)
- MLP:FIM Pinkie Pie vinyl bank (possibly the best-looking DST pony we've seen so far; she'll retail for around US$23 which is a pretty good price for the size)
- TMNT Shredder vinyl bank (very neat sculpting, also US$23)
- TMNT Minimates based on the original comic book (meanwhile I still haven't picked up the first batch of TMNT Minimates!)
- B&W Clerks figures (with an interlocking storefront diorama)
- Godzilla 1974 figural vinyl bank (US$35)
- More Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare items
All in all, it's shaping up to be a pretty cool Summer.
