IT Direct Exclusive - Jem's Anthony Julian!

A rare sight!  An AA male doll!  Our first proper "Doll Days Of Summer" announcement was for Jem's director, and Shana's boyfriend, Anthony Julian.  He's only limited to 500, so there's not going to be many of him for Jem collectors, or Homme collectors for that matter, since black male dolls are few and far between.

One thing I've got to talk about is that on the WClub forums, there's a huge divide between the "IT" collectors, and the Jem collectors (even though the Jem line IS Integrity).  There were some shitty comments that it was bullshit that the first announcement was Jem, but Jem didn't get anything at the webinar.  It's something that's gone both ways too, where some (not all) Jem collectors have said shitty things when Jem hasn't been shown.  I just think it's so lame from all parties.  We collect dolls for love, and shouldn't be bringing petty jealousy into things and making collectors of lines we may not collect feel lesser because we're disappointed that 'we didn't get what we want'.  It's very elitist.  Everyone's a new collector at some point, and it's just a foreboding environment to try to join.  Can't we all just be friends?  That's Jem's motto! (sort of...)

Anyway, here are the pictures of Anthony.  His bullhorn is awesome.  He'll be scheduled for late fall, and the IT Direct link will go live on Saturday.
