    So have to tell Paul and Kathy my history with American girl: my Daughter was born in 1985. I use to pour over country living magazine and colonial homes etc. ( before internet). In the back, there was a small advertisement for pleasant co. Dolls. I sent in my post card and received a catalog big as life with Samantha, Kirsten, and Molly.
    Turned out later my daughter preffered Barbie and I ended up the obsessed Pleasant co/ American girl lover and collector. I showed my older sister a catalog in 1995, and her massive collection of dolls and accessories including furniture is beautiful. She has never sold 1 thing. Her scenes every season are stunning. Love your collections. I may start making videos and join the fun!

    Now Kathy knows her American Girls and that's neat. It appears that Paul is striving for the same thing. Now did Paul get his love for dolls because he grew up around it? That is so neat Paul. I love your shelving, great job! Keep it up.....

    Wow, Paul! What a great collection! I have found several at yard sales over the years....2 of which belong to my granddaughter. I work at the AZ Doll and Toy Museum and a wonderful collection including a white body Pleasant Company Samantha with complete outfits, furniture, books and accessories of that time period was donated. I wish I could show you a picture of the display I had fun creating.

    Why am I not a big a fan American Girl dolls when I find Chatty Cathy so charming? They share a relationship. When I say AG is not a favorite let me say that the concept is incredible. I live in Los Angeles where we have a giant 3 story store for the American Girls! (Once LA FAO Schwartz) The ingenious expensive props and accessories for the dolls are out of this world. Big thumbs up to Paul and everyone associated with American Girl. I do like the Nicki doll.

    That's great, good for Paul ! I love the passion and enthusiasm he has for his dolls. I myself aren't into 18 inch dolls. I don't like over-sized heads and soft bodies. Although I have my eye on AG's "Kaya" and all the outfits. I just can't get past the big head and soft body hang-up enough to get the doll. Still, I love seeing what other people collect. I just love dolls!! Paul ... you go boy!! 👍 😉

    What an incredible collection! Paul really has an eye for the rates. Kathy is amazing at identifying them. As a kid, in the ‘80s, I always wanted Samantha. Saw her in the catalog. My husband bought me Josefina. I really enjoyed this video and would subscribe to Paul’s channel if he made one and Kathy too! 💕

    I learned so much about these dolls. In the 1990's I bought my oldest daughter some dolls from Walmart called Tolly tots. I have them now as she is 28. And I have some other dolls that are 18" dolls. I don't believe I have any AG dolls. They were all bought used from ebay and I wanted them to make clothing to sell. I'm wondering how many other companies are out there making 18" dolls that are the same size as AG dolls.

    Nice American girl dolls. I have some but I just couldn't collect that many. I loves to collect reborns and partial silicones from ashton drake and artists to and also full body silicones and those robotic dolls and cabbage patch dolls and other types of dolls from the store's to or the flea markets or goodwills if theirs porcelain dolls to or on line purchases to.

Each doll type brings its own charm and history. Thanks for sharing a glimpse into your doll collecting journey! Happy collecting!
