A Delicate Bloom - 2016 Fashion Royalty Collection

After waiting since like FOREVER, finally Integrity Toys revealed this year's main Fashion Royalty collection and they are pure feminine, soft and perfection!

It was hinted by IT with the first upgrade doll, which is, Take Me On Vanessa Perrin, on which theme they will use for this year's collection. The hint was, the collection most likely be about flowers, feminine silhouette and of course more colors. Which makes most FR fans happy because they keep giving us black! Black is chic, but we need more colors please ad boy did they delivered!

What's not to like about this Natalia? She's blonde, a perfect cocktail dress and killer accessories. She's SOLD OUT within minutes and fans LOVE her. How I wish I can get her too, but budget is a little bit tight. T_T

Emerging Rebel

It's 2nd doll from FR collection and IT is KILLING IT! Kyori in brown hair? Fresh face? Embroidery faux leather mini dress??? Fabulous accessories?? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? If she's not release in September, I would buy this girl in a heartbeat! But again, I promised myself ONLY THREE dolls per reveal. Once again, am crying HARD!

Daytime Impact

It's Dasha and while I AM Dasha's fan and she is one of my favorite, SADLY I also had to pass on her. At least for now. LOVE the face and her hair and her make up and shoes. NOT so much on her suits. The suit has delicate lace detail and that skirt somehow...a meh..for me? Which is weird cause I always favor suit than couture. Plus, I already have one perfect Dasha this year and she will be release on September. There's no way I could afford her in time being. Once again, my eyes are tearing up! That demn evil IT!

Veronique is always known for her minimalist style and this one suit her personality very well. Super Chic and WHY she has to be a LOTTERY DOLL???? I'm entering and hoping God of Dolls will have mercy on me and let me win a fucking right-to-buy doll this year! I ALREADY lost Dasha and Poppy lottery for fuck's sake! To me, this doll screams perfection! I would even buy her if she's in full price!

Honestly when I saw IT reveals Luchia, I scream so hard that my parent woke up from their nap (it was midnight in Malaysia time). Almost cried when I saw this lady. Been waiting to have her for few years and finally she came and she's a perfection. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE her! She's a redhead, which is a rare hair color in IT dolls, she's in cream skintone which is my all time FAVORITE tone, fabulous accessories which the best is her shoes and that vintage inspired couture! PERFECTION! LOVE her couture which feature corset like bodice and delicate gray flower print with mermaid silhouette. And this is coming from someone who HATE mermaid dress. Pre order her ASAP and I get her!

Oh, miss Elyse Jolie. LOVE the fashion but not so much on the face. While am a sucker for blonde and pale skintone, Elyse's face somehow look too ghostly to me. Almost like she's lifeless. Pass on her, but am crazy for her pink lingerie!

SERIOUSLY, I can't ask for other doll than miss Agnes to be event exclusive doll and this one is pure perfection! And totally unpredictable! Because I just had two dolls set featuring Agnes and Giselle as 2nd WClub exclusives and didn't think miss Agnes could be another exclusive so soon and not that am complaining because one can have too many Agnes doll. And if it's up to me, I would make all exclusives to be Agnes doll. I LOVE Agnes and maybe way too much. Her face is fierce yet so soft. Her hair is high fashion and relaxed. Her couture is amazingly feminine with beading detail. Her shoes are fabulous. That bow purse? Perfection! Her accessories gives her some hard edge to all soft styling. And BEST of all, she's in CREAM skintone. YEAY!!! Once again my parent woke up from their holiday sleep after I screamed so loud. And thanks GOD she is WClub exclusive doll and make it easier for me to get her without all that fuss waiting for confirmation from the dealers. 

So to recap, this year's Fashion Royalty has everything a fan like me could ask for. More colors, feminine, mixture of ready to wear ad couture, fabulous and fresh faces, the return of Luchia Z and Agnes as member's exclusive doll.

BUT... Where's Adele??? She's the ONLY black core character and she's NOT in this line? WTH? IT better have some explaining to do! I HOPE she will appear as exclusive WClub doll, NOT just for convention doll! And where's Kesenia and Korrine? Maybe next year please?

And here are my three pick from this year's delicate bloom collection:

L2R : Luchia Z, Veronique and Agnes
What are you guys think about this year's collection? Yay or Nay?

  1. I'm not a true collector of IT dolls, but every once in awhile I add one. I would love to get my hands on the Veronique Perrin doll. I love her look and her dress.
