Who's that Girl? Her Name is Defa Lucy!

There's a new girl in town, and her name is Defa Lucy. Dolldom is delighted to profile Defa Toys' Defa Lucy Collectible Dolls Icon .004, as the evidence of care and attention to details produces a remarkable quality offering. From box to stand to face-up with rooted eyelashes to a gorgeously executed fully lined camel coat, Defa Lucy Icon .004 gives the collector a bang for the buck. Accessories abound in this set: sunglasses, purse, cap, boots, hose, sports bra and bottom - even a black metal hanger with DL engraving. And the fashion is a hip interpretation of current trends: black hoodie, black boxer shorts, and the already mentioned luxe camel coat. The tension created by the classic styling of the coat and the relaxed versatility of the sport essentials makes Icon .004 a unique presence in the 1:6th scale fashion doll universe.

Congratulations to Defa Toys for producing a line of high quality collector fashion dolls that exemplifies respectful consideration for today's consumer. And many thanks to Rudi Terruel of RND Dolls for making the acquisition of this beauty possible.

Returning the Favor

When The Muses line by JAMIEshow Doll debuted in 2022, the concept of a hand painted, resin, fashion BJD in the 1/6 scale realized. The first waves of fashions, designed by Owensu, focused lavishly on haute couture fantasy and, in Dolldom's view, left a gap for styles that would lend themselves functional for the streets of reality.  As the models needed clothing to perform their inherent duty, fashions made by Integrity Toys for their various lines of coded-as-male dolls became the building blocks for some successful styling opportunities.

Fast forward to 2025 and the latest JAMIEshow Muses collection, titled "Garden Party", offers two great options (Look 15 and Look 19) not only for wearing as designed, but also for their mix-and-match potential. As planning proceeded for this entry, Dodlldom's resident Muses' models decided to invite Integrity Toys' NU.Face No. 1 Lukas Maverick to be the model as a gracious gesture of gratitude. A perfect collab, we shall add.

No. 1 Lukas Maverick comes from Integrity Toys' latest convention with a silver buzz cut that complements an effective-because-it-is minimal face-up that allows the strong sculpt to do all the talking.






Lukas arrived in the classic Pierre DeVries "High Elite" mechanic's jumpsuit. 

Look 15's khaki shorts, tank top, and cap define urban chic. "Enchanted" Daniel digs the vibe.

Switching the cap for the look's motorcycle jacket and sunglasses pumps up the drama. 

A quick change using Look 19's trousers gives the jacket and cap options for evening. 

Look 19's grey trouser and vest pair well with the look's beige loafers. "Dangerous Love" Daniel approves.
