Other: Integrity Toys Item #PP023, from the Poppy Parker collection and designed by Jason Wu for Integrity Toys, uses the original Darla Daley mold 1.0 for the head and body. The head sculpt was reportedly damaged after production and before other versions were produced. Made in a limited edition of 400, Twist ‘N Shout Darla Daley is, therefore, the only Darla Daley with this head sculpt. Darla Daley is a doll character, and friend of Poppy Parker and uses the Latino skin tone. See out-of-the-box pictures here.
