The Dynamite Boys

Sorry it's been so long since I've posted!
You know how the holidays go and then the cement-like quality of the long month called January.
Finally, the long awaited pre-release of Integrity's 2013 Dynamite Girls collection has arrived. Of course for me this means the new Fashion Royalty line is just around the corner!
I just want to get out of the way that I am not a huge fan of the Dynamite Girls.
Some are OK, some are boring and some just have cute outfits.

The introduction a few years back of the first Dynamite Boy was a BIG thing.
He flew off the computerized shelves within 20 minutes. I was one of the 300 lucky ones to nab him and I was suddenly a FAN.
It started with Kyu Summer Daze of The Checkmate Collection;
He was a new sculpt with a great new hairstyle.

Kyu was so popular that of Intergity Toy's next wave, The Plastic Inevitable Collection, they introduced TWO new guys who were even more awesome than Kyu;
Radiant Child Remi and Most Beautiful Boy Auden, both of which were gone just as quickly, at only 300 of each made;


In 2011, Integrity introduced us to the next wave of Dynamite Girls In The City Collection and yet another Dynamite Boy aptly named "Hot Stuff Cruz";
Mr. Cruz was my inspiration and muse for my "Saturday Night Fever" tribute that won me the IFDC makeover sweep last year.
His face sculpt is probably the best of all the FR dolls, in my opinion, other than the Nu-Face line (and in particular) Rock Ringmaster Lukas Maverick seen below;

2012 brought is the next wave of Dynamite boys (Remi and Auden<now a redhead>) in the Back To Brooklyn Collection.


 I feel Integrity was  starting to run low on ideas, and it seemed that this next set of guys was just a re-hash of previous dolls.
However, it sure didn't make them less wanted by any means. Their clothes were impeccably made, especially Remi's leather set with the long sleeve Brooklyn shirt...wow.

2013 January 28 (omg...that's today!!!!) ushers in the next wave of Dynamite boys!
London Calling Collection had its debut today on my favorite and best run doll site in the world; AngelicDreamz.com
The first guy looks like Auden, but I am not totally sure because I soooooo didn't manage to get him before the buzzards...er buzzer went off for the pre-sale.
I did however manage to grab Mr Kyu and he looks fantastic;

He has that Lukas Maverick "Nu Face" look while his hair is pretty cool and fashion foward.
I love the jacket which has an Asian-esque influence appeal.
Not sure about the sweater, but the new high tops are amazing and quite realistic.

That's all for now.
I will be posting again soon once I start working on my next creation (I have two that I am grazing over) for the 2013 IFDC Monster High gala the first week of July.
In view of the monster theme and my total adoration of monsters and B movies, let me say that my competition entry will be a HOWLING great time!


I leave you with Creepy Doll of the Month;

                     Obviously got a 5 dollar foot long at Subway or is just bragging
