I have often mentioned in my blog that sometimes a post production doll is much better than the promo photos. When the Integrity Toys 7 Deadly Sins Digital Convention was premiered, I wasn't overly impressed with this doll. Collectors' photos made me take another look.
As a long time collector, it takes a special doll to be added to my shelf. I have several versions of Dania Zarr. I was afraid that Delightful Indulgence was too much like Tweed Couture, but they actually are quite different. Delightful Indulgence has a very intricate hair style. I don't have another doll exactly like it. I really love the blonde hair color with the smoky eye/natural lip.
Integrity Toys has started producing dolls in larger edition sizes lately. A lot of collectors enter multiple times for a doll, hoping to use it as "trade bait" or to sell it on secondary market for a profit. Unfortunately, only a few dolls make it worth while. That means speculators are often holding multiple tickets and may have to actually sell a doll for a loss! I was able to acquire Delightful Indulgence as a "take over" for retail cost.
Here she is in the box.
And a full length photo.
The ensemble is actually quite interesting and folds beautifully. I really do like the skirt quite a bit. The train is a separate piece and can even be used as a cape (which is especially nice the way it cups her shoulders). The skirt is detachable and there is a beautiful sheath underneath. (There is an even a lace half slip under the sheath which will get a lot of use in my house!)
Here is a closeup out of the box. Number 45 of my 2023 Collecting Cycle is Delightful Indulgence Dania Zarr.
