Hey Gang!
I first saw the Janay doll while cutting through the
Gallery Mall in Center City Phila. She was in of all places, the window of the CVS there.
I
stopped dead in my tracks! She had a beautiful face and great makeup! For me,
it was unusual to find a doll other than Barbie with a great face screening. The name
of the company was Integrity Toys! Hmm…, new!
I picked up the box and saw other dolls in the line but the store only had this one. I purchased her and took her home happily.
When I opened the box the pamphlet inside showed several dolls in many different outfits. A black doll, an Asian doll, and a Hispanic doll. There was a phone number on the
pamphlet, so I called it. I have a gift shop in Baltimore. It may have been black-owned.
The shop was very busy and I was only able to ask a few questions before the person
had to take care of other customers in the store. As time went on I saw more and more
dolls from Integrity Toys in the area toy stores. Then it stopped! I didn't know why?
I couldn't find the phone number I had for the company. Poor Janay! I thought she had
gone under. But she hadn't she reappeared online!
Out of the box!
I am not sure who owns the company anymore but they are doing new and different
things. I am waiting on a new doll I recently purchased from Integrity Toys.
I will post her when I do!
Re-bodied Janay Right now you are looking at one of the first Janays faces that Integrity Toys did. This is
the one without the smile. They made this same face with a smile. I have re-bodied
or head-swapped her onto a SIS Grace body. She is enjoying a fine spring day!
In the meadow!
OK! Next time I will remove the stand.
I always loved her hairstyle and makeup!
The old Janay had the old Candi body. Maybe I'll do a comparison later!
The sweetest expression! Nothing like all those pouty
mouthed dolls that look mean and constipated!
In a different outfit. This way she can wear more things.
The new body makes her look extremely leggy!
OK, Thanks For Looking!
