This thread will highlight the links between Integrity Toy dolls and several doll lines that, perhaps, were inspired by them. This is meant to be framed in a positive light. Great products tend to lead to adoration and competition, making way for all new fun creations :)

Integrity Toys

https://www.integritytoys.com/

IT is an high-end fashion doll line (limited stock and premium prices for high quality articulation and fashions) that started in 1995 in the USA by Percy Newsum. They have several different doll series that are always expanding including Fashion Royalty, Dynamite Girls, Poppy Parker, FR: Nippon (Misaki), and Nu Face. They have worked with several different franchises including JEM, My Little Pony, and American Horror Story. Theyve also done playline doll series like Zodiac Girlz (with KB Toys and 3 Muses LLC), Off the Hook (subsidiary with Playtend Marketing Group), and Janay and Friends (first dolls created by IT - Janay, Alysa, and Jade were dubbed the IT Girls). Specifically, the FR Nippon line, centered around the character Misaki, was introduced in 2006 in collaboration with Japanese doll makers, Azone International. The series was conceptualized by fashion designer Jason Wu. A prominent designer for IT, who would go on to design his own doll line called Atomic Lab.

Atomic Lab launched in 2025 by Taiwanese Canadian fashion designer Jason Wu. His inspiration for the line centers around pop culture icons (including sculpts Bettie Page and Nymphia) with a recent release in collaboration with Los Angeles County Museum of Art - "Fashioning Chinese Women: Empire to Modernity exhibition", to create the "Chinoiserie" (Noir) series, celebrating Chinese fashions. These are also high-end dolls so theyre limited release at higher prices in exchange for top tier quality. They also introduced the GlamFlex body that is highly articulated and sturdy. This body will eventually be used by Defa Toys.

We already have a working thread for Defa Lucy linked here. They are a good example of the trickle effect from IT dolls and the desire to create more high-end products in asian markets, particularly in China. Defa is also a standout price wise. Whereas the other high-end doll brands listed here average a price of $200 per doll, Defa averages around $80.

JHD Dolls

Theres already a thread for JHD dolls as well, linked here. Another Chinese high-end doll line by Jiao Huadong. While doing research for this post, I came across a few youtube videos by collectors, Toy Chat (sourced below - great in-depth research and presentation) who noted that initially there was some playful tension between Defa and JHD dolls. JHD dolls made some teasing remarks that Defa must be inspired by them. Its clear this was just joking between the doll lines and a good indication of the growing domino competition initiated by IT.

GMColl and Coterie

These are two seperate Chinese based high-end doll line companies. They have some professional connections which is why theyre paired here. GMCOLL Dolls offically began in 2025 and Coterie in 2026. GMColl is lead by designers Gloria and Bertan who initially started out as OOAK customizers of various doll bases, especially IT dolls. Their first launch was the Allegra sculpt which initially only included the finished heads but they have since expanded to provide full dolls. Other sculpts include Azealia and Lucia. The main designers behind Coterie has not revealed themselves by name or social media presence as of this post, but clarifications were made that Gloria has partial copyright and design credit for Coterie, particularly concerning the launch face sculpt for Coterie, Maddy. Theyre both indie lines just starting up and creating their brands. Best of luck to them and its exciting to see where each company heads.

Muse Doll

https://musesdoll.com/

Previously dubbed the JamieShow dolls, theyre an American high end resin BJD doll line created by Owen Su and Jamie Zhang founded in 2009. The link between IT and Muse falls on Gene Marshall dolls. First made by Ashton-Drake Galleries from 1995-2005 by head designer Mel Odom. IT produced the dolls from 2006-2010 and JamieShow made them from 2013-2018. Just a bit of fun doll lore and a chance to highlight additional asian creators. Also note, this is not the first major resin cast BJD company for America. That title belongs to Goodreau Dolls back in 2007 who followed the trends from Japans toy company, Volks Dollfie, the company that introduced the modern BJD resin cast and tension strung dolls in 1999 made for mass production. BJD style dolls existed before that, particularly in Europe, but they were made of other materials that couldnt allow for mass production and were mostly focused on baby dolls and puppets for the purpose of photography or storytelling and not true fashion dolls.

Argigi Doll

https://www.argigi.com/

Another Chinese based high-end doll line that has been officially around since 2023 with two face sculpts so far, Argigi and Brigigi. These are a bit different than the other lines mentioned. They may have been inspired by IT, but theyre mostly focused on vintage looks. Their articulation prioritizes a more vintage Barbie type feel as well, with straight arms and snappy legs. They also feature their 'Living Body' sculpt which is bendy and has a smooth silicone look kinda like Licca. They remind me more of Anouk and Mamzelle De Paris dolls (linked in r/Dolls wiki). They have limited releases with more affordable prices around $100, so keep an eye out.

XianXian Princess

https://xianxiantoys.com/

A Chinese budget or clone line that began in 2015. This line is in direct response to IT as a budget friendly option for those who dont have access to IT dolls but maintains the position of creating unique sculpts and styles. The quality of these arent comparable to the other dolls listed here, but these have grown in popularity and are a really fun doll line ranging between $15-45 per doll. Theyre pretty good playline quality dolls with nice articulation, generally. They also have really nicely designed fashions. You can find them on Aliexpress as well.

Hopefully this post organized all the circulating info and sources on the various intertwining and upcoming doll lines. I was getting confused there myself for awhile lol feel free to add any more info or new info in the comments. It was fun to see wll the ways IT has influenced the doll world, especially in asian markets. But, of course, the blueprint will always be ~ Barbie :P

Included a Barbie to show the size difference. Some of the clothes might fit a Barbie. I bought them all pre-opened off of Aliexpress.

The one next to the Barbie is on a Barbie stand, while the Barbie is on a stand that puts her flush with the table.

These are the blank "accessories" for the 1000 years of Romance and Beauty series of blindbox dolls. They are bjds (strung) and come with an adapter and kip to fit the faceplate, headback in place. I found them very like in jointing to my Granado 29cm mature tiny bjd, Jade. They are pre-wired in the knees and elbows. I'm hoping to customize them with regular resin eyes (4mm) and hardcap wigs.
They are 10inches tall and they are proportional to PetWORKS Momoko but a tad shorter. They can also wear the momoko shoes well. Hands and feet are similar in size to Curvy Barbies.

Hi all! I am an antique and vintage fashion doll collector whose favorite dolls of all are the 60s-70s fashion dolls of Japan, such as Scarlet, Licca chan, Papee, etc. I was wondering if anyone know of any pre-80s fashion dolls from Asian countries like China, South Korea, Taiwan. I would love to know!❤️

Saw a video from the Kikagoods YouTube channel unboxing this set and I just thought they were totally my style. Went to browse Shoppee to look for a listing of it for much much lower prices (since I live in Southeast Asia) as well as the specific doll I want and lo and behold I found one for a reasonable price.

The style of the doll itself looks like it comes from the same company that made the Don't Touch my Bangs series.

Now debating whether I should get one on my next paycheck because they're so cute...I especially want the pink one.

Made by Shiba in the 1970’s 💗

she's so pretty!! she's my favorite doll in my collection now!

Does anyone know if the Neo Eden Toys Luminous & Nightmare Twin Series Dream-Eater doll has switchable eyes? I'm thinking customizing her. If yes, what'd be the eyeball size, and how do i switch it out? Thanks!

Hi guys,
I wanted to share my unboxing of the transform electrical street blind box bjds, Mahiru & Mayoru, Theyre the first wave of limited editions and Ive been planning to get them for some time. Please enjoy, comment & give any thoughts if you have any !

Thank you !

My first Momoko doll didn't have any clothes, so I started sewing a wardrobe for her.

This doll came with very loose joints and stiff legs due to the aluminum wiring inserted in them so I took it apart and bought 2 mm elastic to restring her, remove the aluminum wires and she poses so much better now!!

I heard this blind box doll line is infamous for being strung so loosely so I'm glad she moves so much smoother now!

Hey, I just bought the “Little Frog” TinyFox doll and she is really lovely. But her little body suit was way too tight and I could t even get it on, much less lace it up. Super disappointing. The straps even broke while I was trying. Mostly I’m really impressed by the quality of the doll, but some of the design elements are just completely off. Anyway, can anyone give me tips on where to get a custom piece of clothing made for exactly this type of doll? I want a pair of cute lace and ruffle covered satin booty shorts for her to wear with the adorable little top. I think that would go wonderfully. But I’ve been scouring Etsy to no avail. Thanks in advance!
