I really cannot emphasize enough the perks of being a member of the W Club. Not only are you on the "First To Know" list and get preference for Convention Registration, there are some fantastic dolls that are available only to the members. This was especially true this year when there were so few Integrity Toys products available to the general public.
Unfortunately, many dolls are received months to even years (cough ... Mothership Dania Zarr ... cough, cough). This is mainly true for dolls that are "made to order" based on the number of collectors who are purchasing.
My latest doll received from Integrity Toys is Desert Dazzler Poppy Parker, a W Club members exclusive opportunity from 2021. She is in the "Sunkissed" skin tone which is a personal favorite. This doll retailed for $160 + Shipping, with a $30 deposit due at order.

And their photo of the accessories (yes, there are two sets of lower legs!):
The minute I saw this doll I just knew she was going to be very special. She arrived a few weeks ago and I couldn't wait to take photos.
Here is a closeup in the box:

I'm not sure what I'm going to do with the ensemble. It is fun, but I'm not a big of fan of it. It might look better on Viva Las Vegas a la Ann Margret. I thought I would try a different coat with this - it is from the 2018 Miss Behave Style Lab Collection, Not Your Puppet.
I enjoy redressing and styling some of my dolls. Desert Dazzler will probably get quite a bit of camera time. Here she is wearing a Mattel Barbie Extra fashion. (Yes, the jacket is actually lined!). The boots are also from the Not Your Puppet ensemble!
Here is a closeup. I am so glad I purchased this Poppy Parker. She is one of my very favorites produced. I love her hair, her faceup, and her skin tone. #33 of 2022 is just a perfect little addition to my collection, Desert Dazzler.
