#10 - Full Spectrum Veronique
Some people might question having this girl on the list ahead of such dolls as City Prowl Eugenia, Adorned Vanessa, Nightshade Kyori, etc. City Prowl was right there, but Full Spectrum Veronique is a much different approach than City Prowl. While City Prowl is gorgeous, we've seen blond Eugenia's before. A short haired brunette isn't something that comes along all the time, especially not one that's got as pretty a screening as this Veronique. Her red lips! Her green eyes! She sublime!! More short haired dolls in 2015, please!!
#9 - That Holiday Feeling Poppy Parker
A Poppy that just arrived in time for Christmas, and in time for the list. I don't collect Poppy so don't have any personal photos, but she's lovely from all the photos on Flickr. She's very much a throwback to Reluctant Debutante with her hair, especially when Poppy has been looking different in her screenings from those older dolls lately. She was a larger edition of 800, but still left many people wanting.
#8 - Montaigne Market Elise
The doll that broke a boutique's website! I don't think Montaigne Market (the store) had any idea what they were getting into when they agreed to sell Montaigne Market (the doll). Us Integrity doll people are cray-cray, and with good reason. This Elise is gorgeous, and wearing mini Wu! I was able to get her in my cart, but at the time I just couldn't afford her. Now, I REALLY can't afford her. Le sigh. Maybe someday, pretty lady! Feel lucky, all those who snagged this gem!
#7 - Edge Vanessa
Another doll that was released just in time to make it on this list. I only include dolls that have SHIPPED in the year, because there could be massive differences between the prototype and the finished product. (That's why Mademoiselle Jolie isn't on here - she'll be eligible for 2015). And Edge Vanessa, the winning design from the Premiere convention by Lisa Ramsammay, is SO GORGEOUS in real life. I only have the stock photo right now, since I'm waiting to purchase mine so I can save on shipping. But she got in under the wire, with plenty of beauty to spare.
#6 - Le Smoking Adele
There seems to be a divide between the Adele 2.0 lovers and the Adele 3.0 lovers. I'm included in the latter, and also in the minority. I just don't seem to bond with Adele 2.0 dolls when they come through my house. But Le Smoking is a different story. DARK SKIN! God, they finally listened and went back to darker skin for Adele. She's just stunning, and is a new companion to The Muse Adele. I'd love to see this skintone also in the 3.0 sculpt, but I know many a people were very happy when this Gloss Centerpiece showed up. And a WATCH. WATCHES! Finally!!!!
#5 - Agent Lotta Danger Poppy Parker
In my opinion, the best Poppy of the year. She's got a more classic Poppy screening, and yet she's different with that spy theme. Agent Lotta Danger is the *quintessential* spy with the black catsuit look. With my brief foray into Poppy Parker, she was my fave of the bunch, and I still admire her in other peoples' photos!
#4 - Intrigue Elise
The second Elise to make the list. The lady of the Gorgeous Cheekbones was the centerpiece for the final dinner at the Gloss Convention, and I was lucky enough to get my number called. Not only is the doll herself just gorgeous, but so is the mini Jason Wu Tuxedo jumpsuit she's wearing! Also, another girl that's got one of those fab watches!!
#3 - Platinum Society Hanne
The sole 16" doll to make the Top 10. But that wasn't for a lack of trying by some of the other gals! This year was a GREAT year for the Integrity big girls! The return of FR:16 was stellar, and it introduced one of the prettiest face sculpts of any size to come around in a long time - Hanne! I came back to the big girls in a BIG way this year, and Hanne was at the front of that march! She's even prettier in person!
#2 - Intimate Reveal Agnes
The Belle Of The Ball. Everyone kind of figured that Agnes would be the convention doll when she still hadn't shown up on the final night, and she wasn't the centerpiece at the final Gloss dinner. But I think what nobody suspected was how perfect she would be. She wore a mini Wu gown, and in one fell swoop, she kicked Silver Zinger off my want list because I didn't need her anymore. Sometimes, it's not a good thing that you look like another version of a doll already released, but in this case, it was a dream come true. Silver Zinger is probably THE holy grail of all Integrity dolls, so something similar is verryyyyy welcome to people like me who could only wish and hope that they'd win the lottery in order to even think about purchasing her.
#1 - Nu.Fantasy Femme Rouge OOAK
This doll is probably a contentious choice for the number one doll of the year, since only one person got the chance to own her, the lovely Rosanna! She was the show stopper in the OOAK part of the Gloss Convention museum, and everyone who saw her wanted her, including me! I really hope that they make something similar to her for production. Not exactly like her, since that wouldn't make Rosanna's doll as special, but similar, maybe with some different colors.
