Integrity Toys is a family-owned business based in Chesapeake City, Maryland. With the absolute lack of diversity in the doll industry at the time, Percy’s dream was to build a company that would display a balance, showing respect and appreciation to all cultures. His innovation in the industry did not only help children develop self-love but also fostered respect and understanding for all ethnicities and socioeconomic backgrounds.

In 2000, with the exceptional collaboration of Integrity Toys very first Creative Director and Designer “Jason Wu” along with the design team, Integrity Toys welcomed its first “collectible” collection and its Fashion Royalty concept.

Chinese New Year!

2004 Street Fusion Jade isn't a grail but she is close to me!

Out of the box!

 The outfit is cute! It has a Mandarin collar satin top with red trim. 

The pants are an Asian print flower brocade with red cuffs and gold dot buttons on them. 

Taupe color shoes and taupe leather hat. The taupe apple hat is the "topper" of the whole outfit. This outfit is still as stylish today as it was in 2004!

From the back!

Her long pigtails add to the young edge of the look.

Close-up!

She has a great face screening and this face sculpt is better than the older sculpts.

The box seemed kinda moldy. Not to the point of discoloring the accessories but there were spots on the cardboard.

Warning Nude Dolls

I was looking to give her some articulation.  She isn't the complexion of Barbie dolls.  If you are familiar with IT dolls you will know that they have a gray undertone. A body matching to Barbie body can be hard.

I had anwas Evil Queen doll that is close in complexion and had articulated arms and click knees. She also has a small wait like this IT Doll. I thought it might work.

My comparison.

I am happy with the rebody and am calling her Liu!

 

OK, Thanks For Looking!
