It's sort of strange how this turned out ...
The very first doll added to my collection in 2025 was Number 10 in my Best of 2025 countdown. Now we have the very last mass-produced doll to join my collection in 2025 in the Number 9 slot.
Nadja Rhymes (version 2.0) is one of my very favorite molds in my collection. I think it must be one of Integrity Toys (IT) designer Jessy Ayala's also. He has done so many wonderful things with Nadja.
This version of Nadja was designed by Jason Wu and is the third time this dress/hairstyle combination has shown up at IT, with the previous versions being 2009 Optic Verve Agnes Von Weiss in yellow with a gray bow and 2009 Optic Clash Dania Zarr in black with a fuchsia bow. (There was also a reimagined version in yellow using Giselle Diefendorf as the model, but there was very little comparison to the original design.) I love the material used in this dress, the fact that the bow is in the same fabric and color, and the hair color choice/skin tone of Nadja Rhymes.
A truly beautiful doll worthy of a place in anyone's Top 10 of the past year. Best of 2025 - Number 10 is Optic Gold Nadja Rhymes.
