Integrity Toys' New Dolls
Not all of IT's doll lines were included in this reveal. The most popular appears to be the new Funny Face collection designed by Chris Stoeckel. These dolls and fashions are based on the 1957 movie by the same name that stars Audrey Hepburn and Fred Astaire. In a brilliant move, the designers decided to give each doll in the new line a different sculpt. And, instead of having a bunch of single dressed Poppy Parker-faced dolls, several of the dolls are mini-giftsets and full giftsets. The focus is on the fashion and although none of the designs is original, Stoeckl has interpreted them very nicely.
Here are several of the images with which we were presented.

Jo Stockton "On How To Be Lovely" |
Jo Stockton "Bonjour Paris" |
Maggie Prescott "The Quality Woman" |
There is a lottery for another gift set. This one is called "Let's Kiss and Make Up." It looks like a fabulous gift set consisting of three complete outfits and lots of accessories. Also included is a little dog. It's not a poodle but we'll over look that fact.
I need this giftset and will be very disappointed if I am not amongst the lottery entrants who is picked. VERY disappointed.

Integrity Toys 1st on-line presentation 2013 - Jem & The Holograms
Last Saturday, Integrity Toys hosted their first on-line presentation for the W-Club members. Carol Roth began the seminar with an introduction. Four distinct lines of dolls were presented in it, catering to a wide variety of collectors. One of them was this year's first wave of Jem & The Holograms dolls, the Hasbro collaboration that has proven so popular even for collectors not familiar with Integrity up to now. This time it is the three Hologram ladies that are available, since Jem could not continue to be long without her group. Dear Alain Trembley made a general presentation of the characters and then designer Vaughn Sawyers took over for each doll with Carol commenting. Let's see them one by one.

Volks are going full force with GK for Wonder Festival
The monthly magazine scans may have given away much of the surprise but it seems that Volks still had a few tricks up their sleeves as they have just opened up their Wonder Festival page on their main site to show what they will be taking to the event in a couple of weeks time.
As shown in the scans, there will be a new kit from an add-on for Walkure Romanze in the guise of Alice Weinberg. She will be joined by the other two recent releases, Ryozouji Akane and Bertille Alchiselle at the Volks booth. Also, a completely new kit of Koishikawa Tamami from new eroge hanairo Heptagram will also be on sale. There was a tiny pic of her in the magazine scans but we have a clear (and coloured) look at her now! Akiyama Akari will be on display for the charagumin side along with yet another member of the Girls und Panzer cast, Isuzu Hana.
Rounding up the rest are various senjustuki variants from Muv-Luv alternative and the enormous duo of KOS-MOS and T-ELOS, both with huge pricetags to match their 1/4 scale. It's great to see KOS-MOS available again after years of nothing but I can't help but be at least a little annoyed by the release of T-ELOS since she will be released as both a regular unpainted kit and a charagumin kit! Having recently received the Charagumin kit, I'm not all that impressed by the workmanship, as the colour resin kit still needs a lick of paint to look decent, in which case, I would have preferred to go for the unpainted (and ¥10k cheaper) regular kit had I known that they would have made it available again so soon...
Dammit...
