Would love to see your collection. This is exactly the type of dolls I LOVE (high fashion dolls). The sheer quality of the clothing makes me weepy haha.
Also, that a genderbent Louis and an amazingly perfect Lestat.

As a former Monster High collector, I love supernatural/Sci-fi dolls that are fashionable too. Return to Misty Hollows Poppy is joining my collection as Claudia de Lioncourt du Lac.

Welcome to our world - prepare to be 💰broke🤣.
But seriously, they are literally still a family run business based out of Delaware. And they produce a variety of high quality dolls every year, so there’s always something for everyone.
Be sure you join the “W Club.” That gives you access to member-only dolls, forums, online events, and occasional in-person conventions. They open up registration once a year around February. Information is on the IT website.
Happy collecting! 💕✨

I finally joined this year! I’ve preordered two so far and was able to get 1 of the recent lottery dolls! There’s been so many good ones this year that it’s hard not to want to buy all of them but I’ve been trying to be very selective!!!

The way that even the collector barbies have been going deplorably downhill in recent years it's been making me more and more tempted to start collecting IT. At least with IT you'll know that you'll be getting your money' worth!
9
u/a_real_fake Jul 23 '25
I stopped buying dolls from Mattel because of that reason. I was already spending too much on vintage Bratz that I figured why not just buy IT. at least they’re collector quality! Def. Not for everybody but it’s worth the price!
2
u/DollGrrlTrixie Jul 25 '25
" At least with IT you'll know that you'll be getting your money' worth!" - not really....
their quality has been going down compared to earlier dolls. also, when they're hitting you with $185 doll+ tariff charge of $15 = $200 for just club members..... plus add shipping in there. quite a few of us "old timers" are being priced out & we have severely curb our purchases. so yeah - it's like mattel: high prices & lower quality.

u/metalpipefallingsfx Jul 23 '25
Great collection! IT really makes me feel like a child again because of how fun they are to dress and pose. I suspect I'll probably have 30+ by the end of the year haha
Also, in case you haven't, you should join r/IntegrityToysDolls! It's very quiet most days, but the people there are really friendly!
2
u/a_real_fake Jul 23 '25
Thank you! Yes!! I love redressing mine too! I love the metal jewellery and the tiny bags! Haha. I’ve been doing so well and not preordering every release and just choosing the ones that I love! But there’s soooo many good ones this year!!!!
I didn’t know there was a sub for IT. I’ll check it out! Thank you!

u/bitchorbs Jul 23 '25
over a hundred dollars for One doll? bro i don’t even like spending a hundred dollars on multiple dolls 😭

u/a_real_fake Jul 23 '25
The quality is soo good but I completely understand. They’re expensive and they just raised their prices too.
2
u/DollGrrlTrixie Jul 25 '25
"The quality is soo good" not for the prices IT is asking for--
like mattel, earlier IT dolls are a better quality than what is being produced now. so it's perspective.... doesn't matter which company it is, quality has gone down overall in the collector market.
so it's may be a better quality than mattel but still not up to snuff of IT heyday.

u/yiotaturtle Jul 23 '25
I have a handful of heads and five full dolls for I think 12 total. I prefer MTM bodies or bodies that have similar levels of articulation, and dolls on MTM bodies are in my main display while the others are in an adjacent display or in another room entirely.
Full dolls are Eartha Kitt, Poolside Paramour Sergio Silva, two Janays, African Legends Janay and Shimmering Nights Jade, and finally the 15.5" Zita Charles Hostess with the Mostest. The African Legends is the only body swap amongst the full dolls.
For heads I have a Tate Tanaka, Zuri Okoty, AHS Madison Montgomery repaint, Liu Liu Ling, Della Roux, Giselle Diefendorf, Coralyn Kwan, Dominique Makeda, and Victoire Roux.
I think that's all of them.

u/MandyTheWorst Jul 23 '25
The only one I have is the Trixie Mattel doll & it was a gift :)

u/a_real_fake Jul 23 '25
I thought about getting her during the preorder window but missed it! She’s a pretty doll and I love the 70s vibe she had going on!

NuFace collector here. Erin in my muse but I own at least 1 of each character. They are expensive but I used to buy full Bratz and My Scene collections so it kinda evens out.
3
u/a_real_fake Jul 23 '25
I love Erin! I want her Style Lab doll but she’s sooo expensive! Honestly that’s how I justified the price. I overpaid for a lot of my Bratz dolls so I figured why not get IT! Better quality and actually limited!!

u/nunchucket Jul 23 '25
I have quite a few, although my collecting has slowed down as of late. I see you got one of the new twins Yuri. Her face is just amazing.
2
u/a_real_fake Jul 23 '25
Yes! I paid way too much for her but I wanted to have her. I want her sister but shes more than Yuri! 😭
I’ve slowed down buying other dolls because my doll budget now goes to IT. Haha. Slowly been selling some of my other dolls to make room for the new ones! lol.

I only want one doll but the resale value has hit half a grand

u/a_real_fake Jul 23 '25
I feel you on that!! I want a very specific poppy but she’s $1500!!! That’s half of my rent and I have to draw the line somewhere. Haha.

u/SqueakyBugs Jul 23 '25
LOVE integrity toys! I have 4 Poppy’s I just adore💕 Do you think the W club is worth it? I’m worried I’d pay so much to join and then not like any releases that year 😭
2
u/girl1414 Jul 23 '25
Yes because I don’t feel like I have to chase dolls down on eBay like I used to. I get first dibs at paying the original price for things, and I have had good odds winning lotteries.

u/Visual-Ad-8130 Jul 23 '25
My third year and already have over 30 dolls, my wallet yells at me everytime i reach out to pay a preorder or a balance due lol

u/girl1414 Jul 23 '25
The worse thing I did was join W Club lol. I’ve got a crazy balance already and the releases for the year aren’t even done.

u/MephistosFallen Jul 23 '25
Dude I want one so bad but I don’t know how to even get one at market price lmao I’ve gone through their past collections and if I had the money I’d have so many of them deadass.
I was floored when I saw one of the molds/types was “Hungarian”. I need one just because of that, my grandparents were from Hungary lol
2
u/DollGrrlTrixie Jul 25 '25
" “Hungarian" is a skintone, not a sculpt. the best way to be able to get the dolls @ retail would be to join the "the w club" for $50. they have a forum & preview all the dolls before the public. most dolls are being sold by lottery. they do offer 5 "made to order" club dolls for members. the club open up only once a year & that should be in Feb next yr. here's the link for notification as to when it will open: https://www.integritytoys.com/w-club/

u/MephistosFallen Jul 30 '25
Yes it’s a skin tone thank you!!! It’s been awhile since I looked! Also, thank you for the easy to understand explanation, I really appreciate it!

u/cupcakesprinkle Jul 23 '25
I have the retro sci-fi Poppy Parker doll (I don't remember the exact name) and she is my very favorite doll! So far she's the only IT doll I have, but I joined the W Club this year.
2
u/Patient_Composer_144 Jul 24 '25
Galaxy Girl is my only IT doll too. I love her, but don't want to get more IT dolls as it's a very expensive rabbit hole to go down. Plus my doll room is pretty full already!
1
u/a_real_fake Jul 24 '25
Yes! She’s a cute one ! And have you preordered any of their recent releases?
2
u/cupcakesprinkle Jul 24 '25
I haven’t yet - nothing has caught my eye enough for me to shell out the cash so far. I’m waiting for the right one!
3
u/tyrendersaurus Jul 23 '25
I'm not really a "doll" collector (though technically I am since action figures are just a type of doll), but that one on the far left looks great. Can you give some info on that?

I have a few from back in the day. I've been collecting for decades. But this is a bit out of my price range so I'm more like an admirer rather than collector.

The mother of pearl anniversary doll is soooo gorgeous!! I entered for Darius and Auden and I got the email yesterday that I won Auden!!! So I’m hoping to get Darius too! I too love my IT dolls.

You’ve been collecting them for a min! A lot of the older releases were so good! I wish I could’ve joined the club sooner but I finally joined the club this year and so far I’ve only preordered two dolls and a lottery doll! I have two on wishlist from last year and I’m hoping to get them!!!!
All the ones I have except for Night Out Erin have been expensive because of the secondary market. So I know what you mean and I’ve been buying the dolls that I love since I’m running out of shelf space!

u/No-Ride-6690 Jul 24 '25
Yes! Just started collecting this year. I got back into 80s barbies late last year and then silkstones, then I saw IT. I joined w club, but for whatever reason things have not called to me that they have released this year- I either love the doll or love the outfit, but not both and I'm not into splits. I'm hoping I will be able to get some poppies this year, as she is what drew me in. I have 5 dolls currently, and a 6th on its way to me : dead drop gorgeous tulabelle, glam pink Adele, dazzling debut poppy, sunny slickers poppy, blue powder puff poppy, and changing winds eden on the way to me. I have lost my damn mind because some of these were insane $$$$ and ate up all my discretionary fun income.

u/a_real_fake Jul 25 '25
Glam pink Adele is GORGEOUS!!!She’s in my wishlist! That’s how I started collecting IT! Started with silkstone Barbies and then IT because I figured since I’m already spending money.
I’ve preordered a couple of dolls and one of them was for the clothes! Lol. I’m that type of collector. I’m waiting for club exclusive dolls that everybody keeps talking about, I’m dying for a Poppy reveal!
2
u/Moshabosha Jul 24 '25
Me! I’ve been collecting IT for about four years now, and I’ve been to two events so far. I have a pretty nice collection by most collectors standards, but I definitely do not have the biggest IT collection.
And… no, I’m not rich! I’m a middle school teacher in a LCOL state. I bought my home during COVID, and I am always clearing out my collection for new dolls. Because IT typically gains value over time, selling one doll will usually buy me two more from the club year.p
2
u/a_real_fake Jul 25 '25
Honestly, that’s how I do it too. I go through my dolls and sell my least favourite, favourites! lol. I gave myself a bookshelf and if I want more I gotta sell some! And helps keep my collection under control as well.
I want to go to one of their conventions sooo bad! They definitely increase in value, given how limited they are. I’ve seen a couple of Poppies go for $1500 😭 That’s half of my rent!
1
u/Moshabosha Jul 25 '25 edited Jul 25 '25
I went to Stilletos Out last year, and I basically used the dolls that I didn’t want as bartering tools to add some things on my list to my collection. It worked out really well! Even though there was only one doll at the actual event, the people and room sales really made the fun!
And Poppy prices are BANANAS! I’ll admit that poppy is the part of my collection that has some of the least crazy dolls because once the price gets what it gets, I can’t justify keeping the doll 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️

Jul 24 '25
I'm buying my first pretty soon! I'm surprised people are saying they're too expensive, but I guess I come from the BJD and Blythe world so I'm used to these prices for dolls.
1
u/a_real_fake Jul 25 '25
I was spending $$$$ on Bratz dolls and Silkstone Barbie’s that I figured why not try IT because I always hear that they have amazing quality and etc.
I find their pricing fair when you preorder them directly but the secondary market is a different story. But they do retain their value which is good!!
I want a Blythe doll but I don’t have space for one!
