"The Masterpiece" - The Latest Jamieshow/Owensu Muses Collection Pre-order Until May 3

If you've been admiring the Jamieshow/Owensu Muses from afar and have considered purchasing from this brand, here is your chance.  Introducing "The Masterpiece":

"Masterpiece" is now being offered on their website for pre-order until May 3.   Here is the link:  Link to View and Pre-Order Jamieshow/Owensu Muses Masterpiece Collection .

This collection is truly extraordinary.  There are only four dolls offered:  A new version of fan-favorite Astrid, a newer version of male doll Gabriel, and two new females:  Celeste and Blanca.  Each is fantastic in its own right, but the stand-out among collectors is Celeste.

The theme of this collection is "Masterpiece".  Many of the Looks are inspired by easily recognizable artist Masterpieces on display in museums around the world.  Many of the ensembles were inspired by noted designers like Christian Lacrox, Yves Saint-Laurent, Schiaparelli, Dior, and Mugler.  There are fifteen ensembles ranging in price from $175 - $250.  The ensembles include jewelry, shoes, and oftentimes headpieces, sunglasses, and purses.  There were four ensembles for male dolls and eleven for the girls.  Here is a quick view of what is being offered.

And some promo photos ...

In addition to the fifteen ensembles, there are ten accessory sets (two for the guys, eight for the girls).  One of the coolest things this time is there are little resin purses with famous paintings on the outside included with many of the offerings.  Here is a photo of my favorite, inspired by Austrian artist Gustav Klimt.

Since Muses are bald with a "wig cap" system, there were also several wigs in various colors also offered.  

Jamieshow operates just like Integrity Toys.  This is a pre-order period where the they establish the edition sizes of the items made-to-order.  Buyers pay a 20% deposit now and are invoiced for the remainder right before shipment.

I usually struggle with placing a pre-order, but this time the process of elimination has been excruciating.  How do you choose?  I will leave you with three of my favorite looks.

Look 11 - Mugler's Birth of Venus

Look 14 - 

Look 15 - Inspired by Van Gogh's Starry Night.

Collecting Cycle 2025 - Number 5 The Return of Dominion Dolls

 In 2023, a good doll friend of mine introduced me to Dominion Dolls and I wound up adding two of them  to my collection.  Here is the link to my review of those dolls: Dominion Doll Review . Just as Jamieshow Muses is a leap from Integrity Toys, Dominion Doll is the next level above Muses.  Each doll is completely created, blushed, and painted by the skilled Russian artist Petr Tiskov.   These dolls are even more articulated than Jamieshow Muses or Integrity Toys.  

Recently, my doll friend offered me one on secondary market at a great price.  I couldn't resist.  Here is the fifth doll added to my collection in 2025, wearing the dress from Jamieshow Garden Party Look 5, Dominion Doll Aura in Fudge Skin Tone.
