TFormers Reviews Transformers: The Last Knight Premier Edition Deluxe Bumblebee

Premier Edition Bumblebee is hampered significantly by the fact that you could get the mold five bucks cheaper three years ago. It's not a particularly bad or outstanding example of figures from the later movie lines, but it seems to have lost some robot mode paint since the Age of Extinction. Value is a personal, subjective thing in the collecting world, but it sure doesn't feel like twenty bucks of toy to me. Click here to go to the review!

Poppy is on a photo shoot in the streets on a rainy day for makeup company Miss London promoting their new line of lipsticks called Sunny Slickers.

Dressed in super vibrant colors to really bring out her lovely features, Poppy puts some pop in her step in a totally groovy rendition of the traditional rain coat. Set to stay perfectly dry on any rainy day, Poppy's colorful look could bring a ray of light on any dull and dreary rainy day! Comes complete with adorable clear vinyl boots and a fully functional clear vinyl miniature umbrella. 



Here is my own altered version of this doll with her lips and hair changed. She looks much less child-like. Pig tails were not Mod.

On another topic - briefly:

There is something weird about giving a doll FR black vinyl when she has the same Caucasian features as Poppy Parker.  It seems like a shortcut to pleasing black doll collectors.  It was done before with Midas Touch Poppy who turned out much prettier than Sunny Slickers in any case.


I am aware that Darla, the AA friend of Poppy, was not very popular. It was the face paint and styling that doomed those dolls to be slow selling. Just look at this amazing repaint of a Darla Daley by Laurie Lenz.



A beautiful AA sculpt is there but the presentation is not:

Foot Sculpt: Traditional Poppy feet with articulated ankles

While in London Poppy was asked to be a special guest star on a few episodes of her favorite British Spooky TV series, "Misty Hollows". This was quite an honor, as she had been watching this show back home even before it became cool to do so!

Poppy Parker is dressed perfectly to play the part of the "spooked out" neighbor in this classic British TV series! This absolutely stunning edition of everyone's favorite teenage model comes dressed in a fashionable Victorian inspired Mod dress, complete with lace cravate [sic] and matching ribbon in her hair. Since we couldn't leave our girl in the dark, Poppy also comes with a super detailed miniature candle and holder*, perfect to shine some light on the mystery surrounding the plot she stars in! 
Note: *The miniature candle does not light; the pictures below have been digitally augmented.


_____________________________________

If I were a Poppy Parker collector, I'd have ordered the two-doll gift set already. Those two dolls are adorable and very different from each other. At $180. the set is a bargain. 
I like the FR black Poppy except for her lip color. There is too much contrast between her skin tone and the lipstick. It almost hurts my eyes when I look at her for a long time. I think I'd like a more mature hairstyle for her as well. Her outfit is delightful; I want that umbrella! The striped tights and clear boots are TDF. 

The Misty Hollows doll appeals to me and I'm trying to resist her but I may break down and pre-order. She is a direct event exclusive and W Club members can order her through May 17. 

Regarding the promotional layout, I admire how Alain has presented the poses for each individual offering into a larger composition. It makes for easier blogging.

Poppy Parker Swinging London Collection: First Wave Unveiled

The Poppy Parker Swinging London Collection was announced at the launch of the 2017  W Club with the Upgrade Poppy Parker doll, Popster. Now, finally, Integrity Toys have unveiled the first wave of the groovtastic collection in all its Mod-ern glory. There are six dolls in all, including a two doll giftset and a Special Event W Club member exclusive. Designed by David Buttry, as always, they take the Poppy storyline to the Swinging London of the mid to late 1960s when it was the centre of the hip and happening Mod Scene. This was the time Britain rose out of the gloom of the post-war era and youth culture was born and embodied by the fashion of the time. Skirts were short and the Twiggy and Jean Shrimpton were the first supermodels that every young woman wanted to emulate. The dolls feature a new 1.5 body with limbs which come apart. Sign of the Times Poppy Parker Swinging London Collection 2 Doll Gift Set Poppy is in London and she’d like a Carnaby Street makeover.

Misty Hollows Poppy Parker retails at $130 and is Special Event doll for W Club Members only. Although we have seen similar outfits in past Poppy Collections, but then she does exist in the 60s after all, I think David Buttry has perfectly captured this era of 60s with his Poppy Parker Swinging London Collection. The collection will obviously draw a comparison from Barbie’s own Mod Era and will no doubt tempt some B collectors to make a purchase. Glad All Over is particularly reminiscent with her straight bangs and ribbon hairstyle.   Whilst I am a fan of the mod era I only really loved the Misty Hollows Poppy from this Collection as she reminds me of one of my favourite actresses, Julie Christie, with her silver blonde hair and understated screening. I am more of a maxi than a mini fan and as we are promised a more dressed up look for Wave Two I am hoping to see something later in the year to tempt me! What else is in store? Earlier today David Buttry did a Q&A for W Club members and here are some tidbits we learnt: The box has been designed by Alain Tremblay and will feature a London phone box type design There will be no male dolls in the collection There will be another (one doll) gift set in Wave 2 No news on when Wave 2 will be released The fabric used for the Misty doll is velvet In other exciting Poppy news, it was announced yesterday at the Italian Doll Convention that there would be an exclusive Poppy Parker there next year. This will be the first such European exclusive. I know where I will be next May! So what do you think of Wave 1 of the Poppy Parker Swinging London Collection? Have you managed to get the dolls you wanted? Let me know in the comments section below.
