Dark and Mysterious

#3

Integrity Toys had a minor "blip" in customer service this fall.  I really can't fault them about it. They are a relatively small company with a very picky clientele.  As collectors, we are perfectionists.  I cannot imagine the sheer number of complaints they get for problems.  I know several collectors broke a shoe on Main Attitude.  Much of what is produced is very delicate.

I notified IT of a problem I had with this doll's eye area in October.  I got a replacement recently.  It may have taken longer than I hoped, communications from IT may have been minimal, but IT did replace the doll's head.  The head I received was perfect.  They do their best to keep their collectors happy. 

I carefully removed the doll from the box, used a heating pad to change heads, and carefully replaced her in her outfit.
This is a closeup. You can see that I received a perfect replacement.  This is probably one of the most beautiful face/hair combinations IT has ever produced.  Her secondary market prices sky rocketed.  I was fortunate that Craig's number was drawn at the convention to purchase this beautiful doll. 
The accessories were minimal.  She was a table centerpiece from the Convention banquet.
The gown is an odd choice, but it is very unique.  I actually love the jewelry and shoes.

She is ab-so-lute-ly gorgeous! I was blessed to get this one also. A table mate sold her (at cost) to me within minutes after she purchased her. I left the dinner to go to the ATM for fear that she would change her mind. She is my favorite of all of the convention dolls.

Gosh, her face is a perfect blending between Rita Hayworth and Ava Gardner! But her gown...what the hell were they thinking!?
