East 59th Capsule Collection
East 59th Capsule Collection

This year East 59th was revealed on time, last year it was late and revealed in August. I was quite excited for this reveal, as East 59th was my favorite collection in last reveal. There are three dolls offered this year and one giftset with two dolls. The price for Victoire and Lady Auriela is the same as last year - $135, Evelyn is a giftset priced at $170 and $200 is Victoire and Auriela giftset. Still, I kind of think this year less accessories are included. Although separate dolls come with a swimsuit. The price for giftset is quite good IMO, but you have to win in a lottery to be able to buy it. All of these ladies now come with hands with extra long nails!!! I love those! Though I do not think they are in proportion with this petit body size.

The first doll is Lunch At 21
Victoire Roux - I thought this was Constance, but she is MIA in this collection. I am not a fan of both Constance and Victoire 2.0 sculpts. Somehow they look alike and there are no distinctive features. The outfit here looks very nice and I like two-piece swimsuit. Some glasses would look nice here though. Easy pass.

Now, here comes the danger: All Aboard On The 2nd
Evelyn Weaverton. I am a HUGEEEE fan of this sculpt. I have Glittering Gala and Americano, and I ADORE both. I have them on FR2 bodies and they look splendid. I just love her pouty lips and that nicely defined jawline. This doll comes with several looks, it has two complete outfits with shoes + coat + swimsuit. Still, I need more here, she is priced at $170. A headpiece would be nice or a towel for a beach. Still, I preordered her in a heart-beat. Just look at those dreamy eyes! Bravo Chirs!

Opera on the 5th Lady Aurelia Grey - is a second variation of this doll. She has the same screening as a debut doll. I am not impressed with her eyes screening, so I didn't get her this time either. I am waiting for a doll with screening similar to Glittering Gala Evelyn. Still, her outfit is very, very nice! I like East 59th outfits in general, but look at that material of the dress. And her swimsuit is the best IMO. I like color variation of the Glittering Gala necklace, but a bracelet and a ring would be nice additions too.

Finally, Pink Champagne
Victoire Roux and Lady Aurelia Grey. Once again, outfits are TDF, but I do not like the characters and their screening used. The price is super nice for two dolls and additional accessories!

Overall, I think Chris has done a very good job with this collection. The outfits are fun and dolls generally look good. The only thing I would change here is the white under the eyes. All dolls have it and I do not think that look is flattering on any doll aside a couple of grails. Also, edition size is once again 500. I think 300 is a better measure, as you can still find heads of the dolls and outfit pieces from previous collections on Ebay and other forums. These dolls have to be more rare in order to build a solid fan base.
