2014 IFDC and JAMIEshow

JAMIEshow attended the 2014 International Fashion Doll Convention and debuted not one but two special releases at their breakout Gene Marshall event.  "Cool Breeze in Vegas" Oona thrilled attendees in an edition of 100 and a retail price of $425.  Oona shares the Violet head sculpt and features violet eyes, a blonde wig cap, a navy and white dress with red pocketbook and heels, and a lovely red and white scarf.  Oona is a bit of a mystery woman.  She was introduced into Gene's world during the Integrity Toys years and only make two appearances, one as a special competition doll that was extremely limited and then again later as part of the final Integrity Gene convention collection.  Who is this bewitching character?  What's her story?

The other doll announced is Marlena in the likeness of Marlene Dietrich.  She is a limited edition of 50 dolls and retailed for $475.  She wears a 3-piece tuxedo and comes with a top hat.

"Prêt a Partir" Victoire Roux

Integrity Toys' W Club members are in for a treat.  A club exclusive new Victoire Roux doll has been announced.  Her name is "Pret a Partir" and she limited to 600 dolls.  The story line mentions Victoire's good friend Marcella and a mysterious beau, Arnaud Poulin, joining her at the Riviera while on holiday.  Is this, perhaps, foreshadowing of some upcoming releases?  One only hopes.

"Prêt a Partir" Victoire travels in style in a gorgeous two-piece ensemble consisting of a Navy cocktail dress and jacket combination which is accessorized with navy faux-leather gloves, hat, and spectator heels.  Everything is topped off with a matching vanity case.

"Evening Ingenue" Poppy Parker

Superdoll Luggage

Today sees the release of LNDN, Superdoll's gold luggage set, and Transit_B the soft-sided matching weekender and garment bag.  This is the third release of limited edition Superdoll luggage, and the metallic gold does not disappoint.  A few months ago a kelly green faux croc printed luggage was release entitled BRLN, then about a month ago a black set entitled  PRS was released and sold out quickly.  The black Transit_B 2-piece soft-sided set is also still available.

On the back of the recent issue of Haute Doll Magazine there was a Superdoll ad that showed a few more color variations.  I wonder if they will also be released for sale soon.
