Best of 2025 - Number 6

Adele Makeda 2.0 is one of my very favorite characters/molds from Integrity Toys and has been around since 2004.   The 2025 Countdown version was produced as a made-to-order W Club doll in 2024 to commemorate the 20th Anniversary of their Fashion Royalty line, but it didn't make it to collectors until earlier this year.  (I really wish IT had made this a two-doll giftset with Veronique Perrin since they were the flagship dolls in the Fashion Royalty collection.)

Since this particular face-up has been used way too often in the past few years, many collectors passed on it; the edition size was only 1200, which is quite low for a made-to-order W Club doll.   Even though this doll looks like many other versions of Adele in my collection, it is the first time we have seen it in the Light Honey skin tone.  Besides, it's hard to pass up a Schiaperelli inspired gown!

Here is the IT promo of the accessories.



I don't regret adding this beautiful doll to my collection in the least and am glad I purchased her.  There were several collectors who scrambled to buy her on secondary market after her release! Best of 2025 - Number 6 is Toast to Us Adele Makeda.
