Changes in our dealer database
Below please find several updates regarding our Official Dealers.
Magma Heritage: Due to some exciting future projects being planned by the management of Magma Heritage, they will not be carrying any of the 2007 Integrity Toys/JWU LLC collectible lines, including Fashion Royalty® and Gene®. While we are sad that such a wonderful supporter of our lines will not be part of the Integrity family this year, we are excited for Magma Heritage’s upcoming opportunities and wish them much success!
Gigi’s Dolls and Sherry’s Teddy Bears: We are pleased to announce that Gigi’s Dolls & Sherry’s Teddy Bears, an Official Gene® dealer, will now be an official Fashion Royalty® dealer. Based in Chicago, Gigi’s has a rich history in serving doll collectors, and we couldn’t be more delighted to add them to our Fashion Royalty roster!

FAO Schwarz: Due to some overzealous press coverage and feedback from their customer base, going forward FAO Schwarz will not be carrying dolls wearing lingerie. This means that the 2007 Basic Fashion Royalty® dolls will not be available through FAO Schwarz. We will be allocating their quantities to our other dealers, so if you shop with FAO, please note that you will have to contact another official dealer to purchase those dolls.
Should you have any questions regarding the dealers above, any of our other official dealers, or our product in general, please feel free to contact customer service.

Toy Fair 2007 Cult Couture Collection
Dear friends,
It’s that exciting part of the year again, where we get to show you all that is new with Fashion Royalty!
This year’s line is one that I am most eager to share with you, with many new innovations and great designs. I know that many of you have been anxious to see who will replace Natalia, so it brings me great pride to introduce to you our latest character, Eugenia Frost. FR Homme also brings a cool new addition with Darius Reid, and Model Behavior is more fabulous than ever with new recruits Ayumi N. and Colette D.! As you can see, celebrating cultural diversity continues to be our goal, and we pride ourselves in bringing forth more than one variation of beauty.
I hope that you'll enjoy our latest offerings!
Happy Collecting!
Jason
PS: Also, we have a brand new set of shoes to fit the new body this year! Enjoy!
For Immediate Release
January 4th, 2007
True Royalty Press Release from Integrity Toys, Inc.
We have received many inquiries regarding the price change for the True Royalty gift set, and would have loved to address them all individually; however we are issuing this statement that covers the general concerns of our collectors. Whilst we were aware that there was going to be an increase with the factory, we had given the okay to proceed with production to avoid further delay with the hope that we would be able keep the original cost. We negotiated up until the end with the factory to no avail.
We have heard the concerns of the collector base and have decided that we (Integrity Toys and JWU LLC) will ourselves cover the cost of the price increase, and therefore the price of the set to collectors will revert back to the original $180 price quoted. Additionally, Percy Newsum, President of Integrity Toys, has flown to Hong Kong to meet with the factory to help ensure that this situation will not happen again in the future.
We truly apologize for the concern that this situation has caused, and want to thank those of our collectors who have taken the time to contact us and present their thoughts in a logical and articulate manner. We appreciate the rapport with our collector base and look forward to the wonderful surprises that we have in store for you in 2007. Should you have further concerns, please take the time to contact us at customerservice@integritytoys.com.
We also wanted to address the question of why the information was initially communicated through the W Club. Integrity wanted to present the information ourselves so that it was clear that Magma Heritage was not responsible for the price increase (if the information had come from Magma Heritage, they may have been blamed for the increase, which again they had nothing to do with). We no longer maintain a proprietary email list, so our choice was to either put the information on our website (which nobody may have seen for days) or communicate it through the Club, where it would reach a large portion of our collector base quickly. This was the appropriate choice for us to make, and Magma Heritage was apprised of the release and then asked to relay the release to the purchasers of the set thereafter.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support. As a small company, we have growing pains and are not perfect. We appreciate you giving us the opportunity to learn from our mistakes and issues, as well as the opportunity to correct those issues so that we can continue to provide you truly beautiful, quality collectible dolls.
