It's hard to believe that it has been five weeks since my last blog entry. I promised myself I would get better at posting, but it's been sort of quiet on the retail doll collecting front.
First, I would like to thank everyone who participates in this blog. It truly encourages me to keep doing this.
With Valentine's Day coming up this week, Jamieshow/Owensu Legends Thea borrows Integrity Toys 2004's Red Blooded Woman Kyori Sato's gown and fur but combines it with the jewelry and hairpieces from Integrity Toys 2007's Veronique Perrin's Photo Realism. The wig cap is Jamieshow/Owensu Go East Style 2 in black.
In January I received my first doll of 2026. I had pre-ordered this doll from an online retailer several weeks ago and she just got shipping in January.
Collecting Cycle 2026 - Number 1 is Integrity Toys Misaki Neo Wave.
The next dolls were just received from Integrity Toys' most recent shipment.
The first was one of the four dolls in the Modern Muse Collection offered to W Club members through a lottery opportunity. I entered for this doll because we don't see a lot of nice denim offered by IT, so I really wanted this business casual ensemble with all the accessories. When she arrived, I was so glad I got her because she is gorgeous. The makeup and hair just work so week with the sculpt.
Collecting Cycle 2026 - Number 2 is Integrity Toys Fashion Royalty Shopping Suite Elyse Jolie.
The next doll was also offered as a W Club lottery and represents a new sculpt/character for Fashion Royalty. We get another Perrin system with an open mouth smile; this time wearing a version of a Jason Wu original. Photos do not capture the beauty of this particular doll. She's extraordinary in hand.
Collecting Cycle 2026 - Number 3 is Integrity Toys Fashion Royalty Constellation Anais Perrin by Jason Wu.
We are off to a slow start this year and I hope we can truly limit the number of girls joining my collection. The first three are a great start!
