BMR1959 Collection from Mattel

The BMR1959™ collection celebrates the fashion heritage of Barbie® and showcases how current trends influence the brand. These bold, fully posable dolls capture the diverse looks found in today’s streetwear culture. From high-low fashion mixes, re-imagined ‘90s gear to juxtaposed patterns, textures, and silhouettes, this curated ensemble is all about personal expression and style. (mattel.barbie.com)

All the dolls in the collection are fully posable, comes in a streetwear-inspired shoebox and include a BMR1959™ logo doll stand. Priced at US$29.99.

These very colorful dolls remind me of the United Colors of Benneton dolls from the 1990s. I’m excited about the fully posable Ken dolls and can’t wait to see them.

 

 

Midnight Decadence Poppy Parker

I just got this doll a couple of weeks ago but didn’t debox her because I wasn’t sure whether I was going to keep her. In fact, she was one of the dolls I was going to sell to reduce my collection of Poppy Parker dolls. However, this video has got me reconsidering my decision. It’s a review done by SureshNY and as usual he’s done an excellent review. Here it is for you to enjoy.

Integrity’s Fashion Week Convention Part 3

Yes, I know 3 posts in one day is unheard of but I just wanted to highlight the accessory packs.

The first is Heads Up Accessories Pack which contains 2 heads.

Head A: Bright Copper Red Hair, FR White Skin Tone

Head B: Sunshine Yellow Hair, Japan Skin Tone

Again reminiscent of mod era  Barbie and the heads and hairpieces that came in the Hair Fair Barbie set.

The second accessory set is called Boots ‘n Baubles and is really cool.

Integrity’s Fashion Week Convention Part 2

The 2019 Style Lab Collection: Poppy Parker… She’s A Real Doll!

Each doll in the Style Lab is sold nude and outfits, carded dresses, and accessory packs are sold separately.

Name: Kicky – Edition size: 600

Name: Groovy – Edition size: 600

Name: Keen – Edition size: 600

Name: Cool – Edition size: 600

Name: Fab – Edition size: 600

Name: Far Out – Edition size: 600

I love all of them but am especially keen on Kicky, Groovy, Keen and Fab. These dolls are already available on the secondary market and way out of my budget so I can only dream about them. I know I might be unpopular for writing what I am going to write next but these dolls remind me about a lot of the Barbie dolls that were released during her iconic mod era and maybe that’s why I am so in love with them.

Fashions are sold separately and they are a joy to behold. Not only do the first 6 outfits come with matching accessories, but you can also be sure of the quality because its made by Integrity dolls. I am finding it very difficult to pick a favourite 🙂

Integrity’s Fashion Week Convention Part 1

I have been receiving updates from the convention and the photos I have seen of all the dolls are to die for. The line-up of dolls seems endless so I am simplifying my life and just reporting on Poppy Parker dolls which is my favourite doll from Integrity.

Young Romantic Poppy Parker with an edition size of 700 dolls. She has gorgeous wavy dark brown hair and has an articulated Hungarian skin tone body.

 

The next doll is called Kimono Go Go Poppy Parker. She also an edition size of 700 and her skin tone is FR white. I love that her hair is styled in two ponytails. Very cute.
