I really wasn't expecting this release until next week, so it was a pleasant surprise when I woke up (in the afternoon) and found this announcement in my inbox. They're going to be available via lottery (everyone's fave... yeah right). They're each $99 plus applicable taxes and shipping, which is a rather large price hike for the ITBE dolls. They also all each come on the FR Tall Body, also known as Torpedo Boobs. I personally like that body, so I'm happy, but I know there are people who would be happy if it was never seen again. There's also an odd component to the email, in that each doll is limited to 'less than 500', which is surprisingly vague of Integrity. What does that even mean?
Love Roulette ITBE (Vanessa 2.0 Sculpt):
This is the one that I'm most BUMMED out about, because the wonky eye is REAL. I love Vanessa 2.0 as a sculpt, so when I read that it was her, my heart leapt with joy. Then, when I scrolled down to the image below the spec information, my heart deflated, because she has the Monaco Royale screening. Which has horribly wonky eye. It's why I've never tried to purchase that doll, and it's why I won't enter for this one. You can see in the prototype image that her eyes are fish-eyed, and that will only look worse in the production version. SO SAD.
Audacious ITBE (Finley Price Sculpt):
Who is Finley Price, you may be asking? Well, she's a new sculpt! Judging by the name, she's probably a Color Infusion character, which means she may be a Jem character - we know that Lin-Z Pierce is coming, so this may be her face. Personally, I think she looks very pretty, but she reminds me a lot of Cruise Control Vanessa with her hair, skintone, and blue eyeshadow, so I won't be picking her up. (I already have Cruise Control)
Dark Side ITBE (Anja Sculpt):
This collection has mostly darker skinned girls (which is a nice change), but here's the one pale girl, and she's really pale! I'm torn on if I should enter for her or not. I love her, but I already have a few pale blonde girls. But I love the porcelain skintone, so we'll see! I'm trying to be more selective this year... famous last words, right? To me, she kind of looks like You Look So Fine Erin's big sister.
My Desire ITBE (Isha Sculpt):
Holy Bodacious Adele, Batman! The resemblance is uncanny. Now, here's where we get into sticky situations if you're me. I'm trying to be selective, and I DO own Bodacious Adele, but this is an Isha sculpt, and you all know that I lurrrvvesss me some Isha/Luchia. I think she'd look awesome with a bindi added to her. I'm definitely considering entering for her, and she's my fave of the bunch.
Entice ITBE (Kesenia Sculpt):
The more I look at this one, the more I like it, and she's the runner-up to Isha as my fave in the collection. As time goes by, maybe she'll become my fave. I love the Kesenia sculpt, and this one is quite pretty. Kesenia's a polarizing character, so I'm sure there's a bunch of collectors that disagree with me.
Buxom ITBE (Veronique 1.0 Sculpt):
I'm not a fan of Veronique 1.0, and only have 1 of her (Body Double). I'm not a fan of the screening, but her coloring with the pink lingerie is just stunning. I won't be entering for her, but good luck to all that do.
The deadline for WClub members to enter to try and win one of these lovelies is Wednesday, March 11th. Mark your calendars. Deadline for payment if you win is March 20th.
