Open Letter to Mel and the Gene Collector Community
I wanted to take the opportunity to thank Mel Odom and all of the Gene collectors for the opportunity to “take care” of your favorite star over the past few years. It has truly been a privilege to be able to work with someone as talented as Mel and to service such a dynamic and caring group of collectors. We hope that you have enjoyed the creations we have come up with and that they are an important part of your Gene collection and the Gene legacy.
The entire Integrity team wants to ensure that Gene and her 15 years on the fashion doll scene is celebrated appropriately and hope you will join us in Philadelphia this June to celebrate all the wonderful things about Gene and her friends.
Once again, thank you for this wonderful opportunity. Gene will always be an important part of our history.
Best Regards,
Percy Newsum
President, Integrity Toys

Other Clarification Concerning the Gene Marshall Doll Line:
Per Mel’s announcement, we are confirming to you that as of June 2010, the Gene Marshall line will be officially retired. Based on Mel Odom's wishes, Integrity Toys Inc. will host a final official convention to celebrate the 15th Anniversary of Gene Marshall, which will feature every character of the line as a final farewell to everyone's favorite girl star. As Mr. Odom put it, it is better to go out on top while your fans still love you and we could not agree more. Our experience dealing with Mel and the exquisite Gene Marshall has been a great one and we wish to thank everyone for their support these past four wonderful years. More information about the Gene Marshall farewell celebration convention will be posted on this site in the next few weeks.
Please come back to visit for registration information. This website will not go off line, but will be incorporated into the www.integritytoys.com site sometime next year.
Also for clarification, other than a special Gene early next year, the only Gene products produced for 2010 will be the final convention collection. The Hollywood Royalty Gene dolls (mini-Genes) will also be retired.

The paparazzi are taking over Toy Fair 2009!
This year, we are trying something new... Let's pretend that the most sneaky paparazzi of the publishing industry raided Integrity's design studio and captured Jason's top secret concepts for all our lines. What do you think they would do with this priceless information? Why go straight to the juiciest gossip/celebrity board around to expose their scandalous finds in public of course!! Using the latest picture management software, the Integrity design team is proud to be able to show you "the big picture" at a glance, all under one roof for the first time since Integrity Toys took residence on the world wide web in 1998 or so. But fear not my friends, this wonderful new tool will stay in operation only for a few weeks, long enough for all of you to have a complete overview of all our lines and then we will re-launch the individual sites in the Spring of 2009 with a fresh new look for each. But for now, enjoy and let the paparazzi show you around our world in their own sneaky way!
Warmest regards and welcome to our 2009 Toy Fair presentation!
Alain Tremblay
Executive Marketing Director
Integrity Toys, Inc.
