    It’s honestly so sad to look back at the old catalogues and see how far they’ve strayed from their original purpose..

      Fr! I collect ag dolls, and I HATE the new “cartoons”. It strays from the “you can have fun without phones” sorta theme they had.

    2017 thru 2018 has got to be one of the worst eras of AG. It had the introduction of the short-lived Perma-panties, the new eyes, and the controversy behind Tenney and Gabriela's releases.

      Not to mention Logan's "face off" shenanigans 😬

      It was so crazy to me because Grace and Lea the pervious two years had been really successful dolls for the brand then it just went over the edge

    Just what I needed this afternoon. The concept of AG always intrigued me, but not when they changed up and didn't focus on the history aspect as much.

    The American Girl are and will remain a milestone in the world of the high class dolls: they really are another world than all the other brands, there is no comparison.

    Very funny for millenials to get mad when it's not that much of a difference from the time gap between when Julie's story takes place and when Julie was released.

      Julie was too soon, too! It felt like an obvious money-grab instead of really taking more time to do research and make her release feel special.

    I love the boy doll ideas. Why can’t they do the siblings from the historical American girl doll line as boy dolls

    I used to get the American Girl magazine and that Victoria Justice cover immediately ranked familiar, I had no idea at the time that it was her though!

    I was a kid and a huge AG fan during the Hopscotch Hill School era. I hated those dolls. Beyond the ugly faces, their joints were weird looking and I remember not liking their names either (especially Gwen and Logan, I'm so sorry if that's anyone's name here, I was a kid and very picky). The illustrations in the books were weird too. I think the Wellie Wishers make more sense as a doll for the younger age group.

    How come Kiersten wasn’t included in the beforever line

    We have a bitty baby at our house. My younger sister got it when she was 3 years old and named it Adam. He’s been Adam for 7 years now and she knows he’s a girl, but he’ll always be Adam to us

    it’s so weird that they named one of the newer ones makena when McKenna already exists idk if it’s pronounced the same way but it’s just odd

    I think the franchise obviously went downhill when they started archiving the historical dolls and brought them back rebranded. Big ick! I grew up with these dolls. I looooved them and I loved their books.

    @marieazrak1951 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    See $80 for a doll is more reasonable than how much they are now my first American girl doll when I was growing up was like $100 plus shipping same with my little sister and my family did not have a lotta money to spend on the dolls
