Collecting Cycle 2024 - Number 8

Almost every year, Jason Wu personally designs an Integrity Toys doll(s) based on one of his original human sized couture garments.  This has been going on a very long time.  Please correct me if I am wrong, but it may have started with 2007's Spectacular, Spectacular Eugenia Frost and morphed into the Monogram line of dolls.

These dolls are always very sought after and become grails over a period time.  They are produced in limited editions.  Collectors lose sleep waiting for these dolls to go live on retail sales sites.  

Three of these dolls were produced in 2022: Bride Spring 2020 Alyssa,  Spring 2021Aymeline, and Winter 2021 Aymeline.  For some reason these have not been as popular with collectors as previous editions.   You can usually find Bride Spring 2020 Alyssa around, or even below, retail price.

I have been stalking social media and e-bay for the Winter 2021 Aymeline ensemble for several months.  You can't imagine my joy at finding the NRFB doll for about 30% off retail price!  I jumped on this deal!

Collecting Cycle 2024 - Number 8 is Winter 2021 Aymeline:
