Final W Club doll of the year: Rare Appearance Dania Zarr

The final W Club exclusive doll has been announced and is available for all members to order. It's Dania Zarr in Rare Apperance. I rather like her, actually.

She's got a medium length retro-style brunette hairstyle with striking blue eyes, painted quite nicely, and she's in the Japan skin tone on the new FR2 2013 body. Her retail is $130, with delivery planned in the spring of 2015.

She's dressed in an elegant white cocktail dress, and includes extra grey gloved hands, a rather cool looking convertible bag and coordinating shoes, bracelet, earrings, and of course, sunglasses.

Updates from W Club: Holiday Poppy sneak peek and more!

It's snowing Poppies! A sneak peek has been announced to W Club members: David Buttry announced the release of a holiday Poppy Parker doll to arrive this season, a raven-haired, green-eyed, red-lipped beauty. More details will follow by the end of the month.

The Integrity Toys convention next year will indeed be in Long Beach, California, October 22-24, 2015. The actual hotel has not yet been announced, and IT has asked members to refrain from calling hotels to ask for information, as the details have not yet been finalized.

Next, Alain is back from the last convention, which means The Doctor Is In. If you've been waiting to hear back about any doll-related issues, now is the time to contact patient care, and send a photo of your doll as well.

W Club registration for 2015 will begin after the holidays this year, beginning in early 2015.

W Club members were offered a lottery for several convention souvenir dolls that did not sell out on Thursday. The following dolls are still available and went go on sale (via lottery) through November 19 only:

• Jolt! ITBE $80
• Zing! ITBE $80
• Oomph! ITBE $80
• Dial "V" for Victoire Victoire Roux $110
• La Ville Lumiere Simonette Bertorelli $135
• After-hours Hanne Erikson $160
• Tantalizing Dominique Makeda workshop doll $135
• Evening Siren Ayumi $135
• Nocturnal Glow Veronique Perrin $150
• Grandiose Natalia Fatale $150
• Night Shade Kyori Sato $150
• Time Served workshop fashion figure $125

Additionally, limited quantities remain of both Sous Les Tropiques Victoire and High Visibility Agnes.

Finally, three more sneak peeks were offered of one of the final two club dolls of 2014, but, according to the W Club email, they need a spy who can focus the camera a little bit more clearly! I see some lemon yellow fabric, pale pink lips, and also some pale blue knit under white burlap. 

I realized that with the NuFace release, Eden and Lilith were conspicuously missing. I wonder if those two might be the final two dolls in the W Club release. Wouldn't that be amazing?

W Club Lottery - Victoire Roux Buenos Aires

W Club Members were invited to enter a lottery to win Buenos Aires, an exclusive IT Direct Exclusive Victoire Roux doll from the Christmas in July unveiling. She's limited to 600 and is priced at $99, with a delivery date of early August 2013.

She has the FR White skin tone, pale blonde hair and has hand applied lashes. She's wearing a New Look-inspired Dior fashion, it seems, and includes an umbrella prop.

Spring Kissed Chloe

One of the cool things that can happen--but almost never does, in my case--in eclectic collections is cross-over: when outfits from one doll company happen to fit another doll.

I discovered that Fairyland's slim Chicline BJD Chloe can wear Cami & Jon and Antoinette clothing by Tonner--down to the shoes. Additionally, I discovered yesterday that FR:16 clothing by Integrity Toys also fits well.

Because Chloe's feet are magnetic, I don't even have to worry about the annoying ankle straps on these shoes. I can keep the buckles connected, remove her foot at the ankle, and slip the foot into the shoe. Then, I slip the connected straps around her ankle and reconnected her magnetic feet. Easy as pie, for some amazing shoes!

Plus, it's a fantastic outfit. It's from a limited edition W Club doll, the first FR:16 doll called Spring Kissed from last year.

W Club exclusive - Irresistible Dania Zarr

Attendees of Saturday's unveiling (and all W Club members) were given the opportunity to purchase a limited edition doll, Irresistible Dania Zarr. She's $130, with a release date planned for mid to late summer of this year.

She has tan skin, platinum hair and green eyes. She includes a black shawl-collar faux leather top with red belt, black skirt and fishnets. She also includes a beige purse, beige and black spectator pumps, rose necklace and earrings.

W Club members have till April 2, 10 AM ET to preorder this lovely doll.

Lilac Frost Poppy Parker

I was nervous about W Club exclusive Lilac Frost Poppy Parker's "Japan" skin tone, but in person, I think it's perfect.

She reminds me a little of Pillow Talk from Integrity Toys debut collection in 2009.

Her hair is a (neatly gelled) flip in a golden blonde shade. She has green eyes, applied lashes and purple eyeshadow, which are set off with bubblegum pink lips.

Her lilac brocade suit is lovely and detailed, though you can see the hook closures even when the jacket is closed.

She also includes a cute white purse, hat, white heels, rhinestone earrings and a matching bracelet. I didn't bother with the white gloves--they drive me crazy!

If you didn't get a chance to pick this girl up, you can find her on eBay and the DollPage Show & Sell for around $150, which is quite reasonable for a W Club exclusive Poppy.
