I. History:
a. Integrity Toys® :
Integrity Toys is relatively new to the scene of collectable dolls and limits their production to 600 to 2000 dolls per item. Attention to scale and detail is their calling card. All eye lashes are hand applied and trimmed.
Percy Newsum saw a lack of diversity in the doll industry at a young age. He was determined to offer an alternative to the collector market. In 1995 he founded Integrity Toys, a family-owned business based in Chesapeake City, Maryland.
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. Every detail is essential, from beautiful facial expressions to the rooted hair and hand-applied eyelash lashes.
This sensational innovation displays various high fashion clothing styles and accessories trends that completely reinvented the industry and took the collectors market to the next level. Integrity Toys is a now-established concept that has gained a worldwide following and has since expanded its collectible collection to include multiple other successful Doll's. Today they are the most beloved and sought-after collectible products in the market today.
b. Natalia Fatale® (Italian):
Like most Doll manufacturers, Integrity Toys dolls each has a storyline. Natalia Fatale is no exception. Natalia Fatalé is an Italian runway model, that enjoys swiping on the Italian Rivera. The doll came originally dressed in a designer swimsuit. And like most Doll stories, it leaves plenty for the imagination. The Doll was sold under Integrity Toys new "Basic" line for 2023. Unlike their other dolls production was not limited to under 1000 and 5,000 units were produced.

a. Model Overview:
The Doll is a redressed Integrity Toys Fashion Royalty Bombshell Beach Natalia Fatale. Doll has a full range of motion except for the waist, which was sacrificed for high detail, particularly the Navel area. The Doll is the 1st in a series of four for 2023 Basic line. Skin color is a vibrant tan olive on the mark and falls well within a Greco- Roman, or Italian - American woman skin tone. Again, Integrity did an above-average job with the skin color.
The eye color is Blue with excellent depth that sparkles in the sunlight. Hand-rooted Eylashs and detachable hands.
The nose and cheekbones are prominent similar to an oval face, but tapers at the chin.
Jessy Ayala designed Natalia Fatalé, and The Doll is well made with exceptional detail and heavier than the Fully Articulated "Made to Move Line" by Barbie®.

Business Suite Lavender jacket and skirt The jacket is open - it does not close - but does have black buttons which gives a closed the appearance it could. Originally from a Barbie Twist and Turn® Doll, fits well. The skirt closes with a stainless steel snap, a very stylish Wall Street look compliments her figure. Shoes reflect Christian Louboutin Kate Red Sole Pumps.
d. Opinion:
I like the doll for the above reasons, the only thing I would have prefeed is color on the nipples to highlight the breasts which are anatomically correct and scale. I am very happy with the shoes it gives off a subtle sexiness' with the no nonsense business look of the power suite. The doll can be customized to whatever look the buyer wants at reasonable cost since it takes most 11.5 to 12 inch doll clothes. Shoes are a little tricky since the manufacture was more interested in scale over uniformity. 5,000 unit were produced which is a respectable number given the company's size and demand for quality and detail.
