Why??
Because David Buttry finally unveiled his 2013 Poppy Parker line!
This year its called "Poppy Parker at the 1965 Worlds Fair"
David claims the line was inspired by art work from the 1965 Worlds Fair.
He's not fooling anybody....This line says Mr Buttry LIVES for the Its A Small World Ride at
Walt Disney World and he wore his work pad out on that ride HUNTY!
As word goes this line was the first to sell out in just a few hours after the show.
Here are the highlights of the line:

UP NEXT
To my surprise The Misfits!
Both me and my wallet hoped they were going to wait till next year to unveil the Misfits but Alas, they did not.
I had planned to skip the Holograms and only purchase The Misfits, so I was in regardless.
I remember not even being interested in the original Holograms when I was young and NEVER being able to find Roxy and Stormer so this line completes me!
As for the dolls.
The outfits seem to fit much better than the Holograms' outfits.
Face screening is also a step above.
They are really fantastic!
My only gripe is the face molds should have had more mischievous grins like the original line.
However, Vaughn said Hasbro OK'd the line so if it's fine with Hasbro then its fine with me!

The third line was the crown jewel in the Integrity Toys stable: Fashion Royalty
Before the line was revealed the lead designer trumpeted: "Surprises".........
We still cant figure out what the surprises were.
It wasn't furniture or a new character....
Was it the almost 18% price increase?
Maybe it was Jordan!?
Jordan seems to be the HIT of the line (aside from the WClub Event Doll below)
and the FIRST Must Have Jordan EVER!
Even tough some people expressed dislike in the hair color, Jordan seems to be the over all HIT of the line:
Item #91315
Splendid
Jordan™ Dressed Doll
The Fashion Royalty® Collection
Suggested Retail Price: $130.00 US
Limited Edition Size: 400
Estimated Ship Date: Late June / Early July 2013
|
The rest of the collection seemed to fall flat due to poor promo dolls and promo pics. Bad lighting and wonky eyes may have quelled interest.
Item #91317
Ambitious
Kesenia™ Dressed Doll
The Fashion Royalty® Collection
Suggested Retail Price: $130.00 US Limited Edition Size: 700
Estimated Ship Date: Late June / Early July 2013

Korinne™ Dressed Doll

Suggested Retail Price: $130.00 US
Limited Edition Size: 700
Estimated Ship Date: Late June / Early July 2013

I think once the dolls are shipped and live pictures are seen Korinne will be a hit as well!
Close up pics showed her with a clumsy screening that will be improved in production.
The SHOW STOPPER
The show stopper of the event was the second Dania Zarr!
(The first one can bee seen on other blogs and flickr)
This was the WClub member exclusive doll available ONLY to WClub members with a production number made to order.
Unlike the rest of the collection she is a dazzling and interesting piece with many different possibilities that rises above the ensemble.
Remember this is NOT the complete list ONLY the highlights!
Surely a complete list can be found on Shug's Blog or inside The Fashion Doll Studio.
If you are still undecided about your selections you may be out of luck for the Poppies but excluding Jordan there should be plenty of Fashion Royalty dolls available.
The Misfits were also produced in high numbers and should be found at numerous dealers!
GOOD LUCK!
What did you order
