Doll Collection Cycle 2022 - Number 1 Varsity Alejandra Luna

I guess we start the whole thing all over again.   

The first doll I added to my collection in 2022 was one for which I had to pay secondary market prices, but I purchased it from a doll friend who was fair and kind (and I know they are not a scalper).   I only paid secondary market prices because it was a doll offered at a convention for which I didn't have a ticket.   By purchasing from a friend, I didn't have to pay E-bay sales tax, so I saved even more money!

Fortunately, there were not many dolls I couldn't resist from this convention.  A lot of ticket holders were very upset about the designers' interpretation of the term "Obsession".   Fashion Royalty was supposed to relate to military fashion and Nuface "sported" Athleisurewear.   Since there were 1300 dolls produced and they didn't receive a rave review, most of them are accessible for reasonable prices. Since this was only the second version of the Alejandra Luna and I really liked those boots, I decided to take a chance on her.

Most of the dolls from the Integrity Toys Obsession Convention were delayed in shipping.  It was anticipated this doll wouldn't be shipped until the end of January but it came much earlier.  That was a nice surprise.

Here is a full length photo in box.

And a closeup.

She has really nice eyes!  Her hairline isn't perfect, but I can live with the minor stitching problem.

I really love that Integrity Toys is including additional lower legs with flat feet.  That gives us a lot of versatility with the dolls.  Did I already mention how much I liked those incredible boots!  (They are every bit as nice in person!)  This is a photo of the accessories (property of IT).

Let's see what she looks like out of that box!

Alrighty then!   This girl is actually quite a show stopper.  I like the ensemble much more than I expected.  There are a lot of mix and match possibilities here.  I want to redress her soon, but I am actually loving her in stock!!  #1 added to my collection in 2022 is Varsity Alejandra Luna.  (I really can't say enough about how much I like this doll!  She is a great start to a new year.)
