I never had Molly as a kid, but when I saw the new 35th anniversary dolls, I got the STRONGEST urge to buy her, and since I’ve been in Orlando this week, I went the the AG store and picked her up today. 🥰 She’s adorable and I’m so happy to have her!
Oldest Molly definitely the best. I seem to find Molly dolls second hand more than anything. I've found three so far. One was from the late 2000s or just before they retired her (I'd have to look). Then, I found two (one at a flea market and one at an antique store) from the early to mid 90s. They are my favorite because they are so chunky. All of them were in horrid shape and their hair was ratty and knotted, but I was able to restore them. The "newer one" is for my daughter to play with, but the Pleasant Company Molly's are display only. Molly was never my favorite, but she has really grown on me through the years and I find her so adorable. I'm thinking I might like a 35th anniversary Molly just to own a pristine one.
Please tell me that I am not the only one who, in the mid 2000s, would purchase my dolls based upon which one I thought AG would retire next......Those were dark times, dark times indeed
I decided to get Molly first. But, I like the Beforever meet outfit. I want to get more Molly books. I am just looking for a good deal. I don’t like the Beforever doll’s glasses. Because, the brown plastic is too modern. I like the new doll because she gives us the best of both worlds.
Which Molly is your favorite? Be sure to let me know if you notice any other differences. Also there will be a new comparison video up every day this week! I forgot to mention as well that the 35th anniversary doll and the original doll have the lined eyebrows, but the BeForever Molly has the feathered eyebrows!
Original, because even though they look very similar the original one is just so iconic and is special because she was a old doll so how American Girl made it is just different and older (and the locket just proves my point..) and that’s how I think of Molly; old and original if that all makes sense.
I grew up with American Girls. I collected when I was a kid with my sister (so early/mid 90's till mid/late 2000's.) I have an entire room in my parent's house with American Girl dolls, accessories, furniture, etc. (Have all the historical dolls and friends, clothes, furniture, etc. Bitty babies, American Girl Today (or whatever they call them now lol) and some girls of the year from the early 2000's ) from that time and I realized after finding your channel (specifically you looking at old catalogs) I realized that probably 98% of everything I have has been retired. I'm 25 and would love to get back into collecting and get everything I have out of storage to display and show off my collection online!!!
Absolutely love the original Molly. I too got the 35th Anniversary Molly and am so happy I did. I went in AG with every intention of getting a 35th Anniversary Samantha and looked at every single one but as soon as I saw Molly I picked out the perfect one and got her for Mother’s Day! Love your videos too BTW ☺️
My sister got a Molly once year for Christmas but she ended up being lost in a house fire, so excited for the 35th anniversary releases! Very excited to see if I’m able to get my hands on one of the new dolls
I've always wanted an American girl doll molly I'm 36 a friend had an American girl doll I've always wanted a historical doll no matter how old you are you can enjoy them at any age !❤
I have a Samantha doll from 1990 and I had every intention of getting a new Samantha but when I saw how well they have redone Molly I decided to go with her for now. She was always my second favorite anyway and I absolutely loved her books. How nice would it be if they brought back the furniture and accessory sets too!
I got my Molly in 2006 as well (got it from the AG Place in NYC). However, although I was 10, I used a regular hairbrush, so her hair is a wreck. Been thinking about sending her off to the AG Doll hospital for a while...
Thank you so much for making such helpful videos like this! I'm looking forward to the Addy one because I'm having a hard time deciding if I should get the 35th anniversary one, or the current historical Addy
I'm bummed. I ordered Molly the day of the release. She shipped the next day. FedEx picked her up that day. Nothing has happened since then. AG was predicting Monday as the delivery day. FedEx has no prediction. I might have to call them tomorrow. I'm sad. The doll's now backordered. I don't know what FedEx did with the package.
Honestly I’m so torn. I’m an adult bjd lover now, and I use blank bjd like art projects. so I typically don’t buy this type of doll anymore. But part of me really wants to get this Molly since I really wanted her when I was a kid, but never got her. I just can’t justify spending 100+ dollars for a lower quality than what Ioved ag for when I was a kid. I suppose I’ll just hope to get lucky and find an older version in a second hand shop for a reasonable price
I love AG I have Sagie I love her film and I like Molly I have the new Molly as the mini doll and I have the old Emily Mini and a few others and I am buying some more clothes for sagie from eBay
she came out last year or the year before i believe, i’m not sure. but she’s super rare and wasn’t out for very long. so i don’t think a lot of people know about her. 😅
But I me and my sister got Courtney and January so we got her American mini American girl doll so she we have one of those and then we have the mini Samantha to be forever one and then we got the Molly's at Costco and then we got the beef forever American girl Molly's at the American girl store and then we have the original mini Molly and Courtney are Courtney sleep with them
I like to be forever American Molly and I also like my beef forever Samantha but me and my sister do want to get Felicity and Kristen but I do have the American mini original Samantha I me and my sister do and then I have the American mini original Molly but that's Courtney's and then I have we have the mini stage the mini Isabel Marie Grace Marie Grace to Cecil's Isabel Leah's and be forever American mini mollies that we got at the American girl store but me and my sister want to add Felicity and Kristen to our collection we have Julie Maryellen kit Rebecca Courtney and I'll be forever Samantha me and my sister have me collecting American girl dolls since 2014
I wish the AG Girls Dolls was all vinyl like the Adora Be Bright Girls Dolls & Hearts For Hearts Girls Dolls because I can't deal with cloth bodies on dolls. | the Cloth bodies gets easily dirty too fast whereas vinyl bodies don't like their cloth bodies counterparts.

So true.
My favorite Molly is my original, too. She's Pleasant Company, from 1992... absolute cutie!
Great video!

I've always wanted an American girl doll molly I'm 36 a friend had an American girl doll I've always wanted a historical doll no matter how old you are you can enjoy them at any age !❤
The weirdest Molly glasses variation in 2004 Molly had a saffron tint in the lenses.
They are cute I'm glad that you have them in your collection

This is such a cool video to see the differences and similarities! Love your channel!

My school has most of the original books. I just thought I’d share.
I love the pie bangs of the 35th Anniversary Molly! I totally agree that the Be Forever Molly's bangs are not as nice
Great review! Thank you so much!
Also, I noticed that the BeForever Molly had a little bit more expression to her face :)
They improved that doll. :-)
Hi and first and I love all of your work and all you do
I love oll the Molly dolls I just bought Lea I can’t wait for her to come in
I love my be forever Molly and that's the one I have
Me and my sister got our Molly at Costco that's cool
Thank you so much for making such helpful videos like this! I'm looking forward to the Addy one because I'm having a hard time deciding if I should get the 35th anniversary one, or the current historical Addy
The lines in the Kirsten clothing are called grow lines as girl grows the mom can lengthen the dress
Also, the 1944 on the 2 books are a little bit different, they have a little bit of a different style of writing
I'm bummed. I ordered Molly the day of the release. She shipped the next day. FedEx picked her up that day. Nothing has happened since then. AG was predicting Monday as the delivery day.

did you ever end up getting your molly??

That was very thorough and informative.
The accessories set right before them retired molly also has a pleather strap but with a snap.
Thanks for sharing that information!
I love AG I have Sagie I love her film and I like Molly I have the new Molly as the mini doll and I have the old Emily Mini and a few others and I am buying some more clothes for sagie from eBay
Can you do an all my dolls video soon?
the downgrade of their quality is so apparent when comparing these loll but still very cute!
so cute! i have a molly from 2009 💗
Actually the whole friends page is flipped except for two pictures
Oh my lol maybe they didn’t do a good job copying that page lol
Are their eyebrows all the same? My Beforever Sam doesn't have straight ones
No the eyebrows are not all the same! The BeForever Molly has feathered and I can’t remember off the top of my head what the 35th anniversary doll has
Your old Molly doll has smaller shoes then the Newer One
1:46 there are a few pictures flipped, not just that one. that is weird though lol.
The be forever molly necklace has the US army medical symbol on it Mary
My locket doesn't open either
yo why don’t i remember beforever molly
she came out last year or the year before i believe, i’m not sure. but she’s super rare and wasn’t out for very long. so i don’t think a lot of people know about her. 😅
She was a Costco exclusive
wait will american girl replace the cheap eyes for free?
But I me and my sister got Courtney and January so we got her American mini American girl doll so she we have one of those and then we have the mini Samantha to be forever one and then we got the Molly's at Costco and then we got the beef forever American girl Molly's at the American girl store and then we have the original mini Molly and Courtney are Courtney sleep with them
The older Molly’s shoe is littler than the newer Molly’s shoes
👍

??!!!!!!????!!?!!!?!!!!!!!
I prefer the old Molly. But to be honest,I'm not the greatest fan of Molly 😅 Sorry to anyone who loves her
Same im not the hugest fan but i like her story and shes pretty cute
I wish the AG Girls Dolls was all vinyl like the Adora Be Bright Girls Dolls & Hearts For Hearts Girls Dolls because I can't deal with cloth bodies on dolls. | the Cloth bodies gets easily dirty too fast whereas vinyl bodies don't like their cloth bodies counterparts.
i think they might’ve made them with cloth bodies so they’d be more cuddly.
@@lexi1595
That's completely understandable.
They look the same
ok ma'am thanks for your input
