In Loving Memory of
Vaughn Sawyers
“What you leave behind is not what is engraved in stone monuments, but what is woven into the lives of others.”
– Pericles
Vaughn was a visionary designer and a beloved member of the Integrity Toys family for 25 years. He was part of the pioneering team that helped evolve the company from a playline-focused company into a global leader in the collectible fashion doll industry.
His creativity is woven into some of the company’s most iconic and enduring lines: Fashion Royalty, NU. Face, The Monarchs: Homme, and Meteor, as well as licensed collections like JEM and the Holograms. His eye for detail, deep understanding of fashion and storytelling, and unwavering dedication to the craft earned him the admiration of collectors around the world.
But beyond his artistic talents, Vaughn will be remembered for his kindness, humor, and passion for dolls, for design, and for the community that surrounded it all. His legacy is not only in the dolls he developed, but in the friendships he built, the fans he inspired, and the company he helped shape.
He was not only our colleague, but he was also our family. His absence is felt deeply, but his spirit will live on in every sculpt, sketch, and spark of imagination he leaves behind.
With love and gratitude,
The Integrity Toys Family

His fabulous legacy lives on with his designs and his wonderful personality. I remember his stories about his trips to China and the hard work it took to ensure the quality of the dolls that we love. As a doll collector, I will always be affected by his immense talents. With deepest sympathy to his family.
He's in heaven restling in peace telling the angels how to arrange their feathers laughing and smiling with his soft-spoken voice and soul what a beautiful human he was May he rest in peace my condolence to the family.
All my interactions with Vaughn from the very first time have always been joyful. From the first moment of laughter to the last. Vaughn has designed some of my favorite Integrity ladies and gents. His energy will be missed by so many. I am always an admirer of the talent he possessed. I wish his family and friends all the positive thoughts and love during this time.
My Family and I (my husband Jim and Daughter Tanya) were deeply saddened to hear of the loss of Vaughn Sawyers. We came to know him through the many Conventions where he always had a ready smile, and an easy-going and gentle way. We especially appreciated his generosity in sharing fascinating and detailed information about the doll production process. We know he will be sorely missed by all, and our hearts go out to those who knew him intimately and we offer our deepest condolences.
You may rest in peace, my friend. Your kindness, generosity, and warmth will echo in the hearts of all who knew you. "What we have once enjoyed deeply we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes a part of us." — Helen Keller

I will always remember Vaughn as a smiling man who was kind and soft spoken. May he rest in peace.
I own two dolls from the MLP line, and when I first opened them I was reminded of when I started to collect dolls with grandmother that precious feeling of a new and wonder was reignited to me. I thank you for brining up this precious memory to me.
My deepest condolences, may you Rest in Peace.
Vaughn, you were one of a kind. You are a real gift for menswear, and I really looked forward to watching you develop the Meteor line, and the Hommes. And for all of this, you were an even better human being. You will be missed by me and by everyone who loved you.
Thank you for so much beauty and fun, Vaughn. You will be remembered. From the Universe to the Universe.
This is such a sad loss for all of us in the doll community. He was so talented and I loved many of his designs, especially the ones that reflected, what was going on in fashion and the music industry. Thank you for your many contributions, and your Kindness to me.
Your laughter and dapper style were always a smile waiting to happen. My time at Integrity wasn’t long, but events with you, and when you worked with Mel are in my heart. You truly were the beauty you created, taking time for all the details, just as you did the collectors and your friends. Thank you for crossing into my life and leaving a forever sparkle.
Always in our hearts. I express an abundance of thanks for the talents Mr. Vaughn shared and the abundant joy they produced. He will be always remembered for his peaceful disposition and wonderful craft. Praying for those who loved and cared for him. May God continue to comfort and strengthen you all.
I joined IT slightly before the Meteor line came out, and it is my favorite IT doll line. I appreciate Mr. Sawyer's talent.
Was so saddened when I heard this news. My deepest condolences to Vaughn’s family, friends and the entire Integrity Toys family. He was a talented and versatile designer who created some my favourite dolls that I was fortunate enough to be able to add to my collection. He will be greatly missed. Rest in Power, King. 🙏🏾❤️🙏🏾
I was lucky to have the honor to meet Vaughn at IFDC in Las Vegas. He created many of the dolls I collect, he had an amazing eye for fashion. He will definitely be missed and I am happy I can remember him through his dolls. To his family I wish you all the best through this rough time, but take solace knowing he was loved by so many, and will be missed a lot.
You will never be forgotten Vaughn. Your beautiful work will always remind me of you and what you stood for. Sending much love to your family. Rest In Peace dear friend.
