I wish they’d release all the Christmas outfits and accessories for the historical dolls that they’ve re released. I don’t have room or budget for all these dolls! She’s beautiful, enjoy! And Happy Birthday! 🎉🎉🎉😊
AG has been my latest hyperfixation. I don’t have the means or want to start collecting, and your channel has been perfect for learning a lot about the dolls and the history of PC. Thanks for the vid, and Happy Birthday 🎉🎉🎉
When i was in kindergarten and grade 1, the girls all went to sing the Santa Lucia song at the local Nursing home. We were about 10 girls, all in white somple gowns, and each of us held a candle with both hands in front of us, except the front girl. She had the wreath just like Kirsten. We had to practice and practice because we were all holding live candles. It WAS beautiful and it's still a great memory. And Jonathan, Have a Happy Birthday 🎂
13:30 The cover was updated with more detail for the 2004 edition (the last one before Kirsten was retired). I love seeing it in full! I wish her dress was sold separately so my Kirsten could have one, but it's so cool seeing her in the spotlight! She deserves her moment to shine in the candlelight! :D
I also thought the box was extremely beautiful & well done. She is a very beautiful & I love her historic St. Lucia outfit & wreath crown. I wish I could get her.
Happy Birthday, Jonathan! I'm watching on the 13th and today is my granddaughter's 15th birthday. She's getting her driver's permit. Thanks for the video.
I just received my Kirsten doll and I love her. She is beautiful. The box is gorgeous and agree you can just display her in the box. I love the historical dolls and your channel is the best place to come to learn about them. Happy Birthday 🎉
The new box is beautiful. And Kirsten looks like she is on display in a store window. Very magical looking. I am thrilled that you compare the two dolls. I was looking for that. I will not be buying the new one but not because i don't like it. Just because i have to show restraint somewhere. 😊 It makes me think they have good designers on their team again.
I really miss the Pleasant Company classic mold. It had such defined features and bright eyes compared to what they make now. I have a 1996 Kirsten and I treasure her.
Happy early Birthday Jonny! Wishing you the best year and happy holidays ❤ getting back into AG again and you’re my favourite creator! can’t wait for the hauls! hehehe
Happy Birthday! to you and to me, I am today 11/11. Its a Great time to have a birthday. I purchased Kirsten too, I have 3, one with silver eye from my daughter when she was young. Just love them. Thank you for sharing.
happy early birthday you 25 year old man????? Like i refuse to believe you're any older! you look fantastic, and i enjoyed this video so much. so happy you're doing well, you deserve it🥹
Thank you for addressing that crazy shit is going on in the world but this space is a safe space for AG content to try to escape from the worlds horrors. I appreciate it so much!!
I had all the AG books but we could never afford the dolls as a kid. Your channel is bringing back the pleasant nostalgia of sitting on my bed, wearing the spines out of the catalogs, and dreaming of playing with all the pretty dolls and play sets. Kirsten was always my favorite. If there was ever such a thing as an inexpensive mid-90s Kirsten… I might try to find a beat up one and restore her to “cuddle quality” rather than collector quality. Maybe I’d make her some handmade clothes… maybe it’s more fun just to dream. No interest in collecting them, but my inner 5yo is once again enjoying the escapism through your channel.
There was a podcast I listened to called Dolls of Our Lives where two women who are our age, PhDs in history, and grew up with American Girl read each book and make an episode on it. In one of the episodes, they interviewed Lauren Graef. As a kid who coveted AG illustrations and was inspired by them, it was a delightful episode. Sadly, the show has been completed and wrapped up. I miss it. I wonder what made them decide to put the elastic band on the sleeve? It wasn't part of the original dress design.
This is a really interesting video! Thanks for making it - would be interested in more comparisons btw early edition PC and current Mattel designs. Learned a lot!
Happy Early Birthday! Excellent Video! I want a Collector Molly doll. I feel so ripped off right now because I love Kirsten's box and want a Molly's Surprise Collector doll. Yes, we want NEW outfits for all the historical characters.
Happy birthday! Looking forward to hearing what AG item you choose for your gift - my bday is 11/16 and I got myself playline Rapunzel. Self gifting is truly the best way to make your adult birthdays more fun lol
I got my childhood Kirsten doll and I'm getting this limited edition Kirsten surprise doll for Christmas from my parents as my main and probably only Christmas gift from them but that's okay she's worth everything and she's a dream come true. I can't wait to open her on Christmas morning.
I am of Norwegian and Swedish heritage and my family immigrated to Minnesota just like Kristan’s story. My family’s church that we have continued to go to since the immigration is still going strong and we have our st Lucia service every year. I never got to participate because at the age I would have been my parents moved out of state and we didn’t continue the tradition. Now as an adult I’m going to get this AG additional so I can experience the holiday in my own way.
I loved seeing your Kirstin’s compared with each other. I like the look of the older vintage dolls better and your Spooky eyed Kirstin is really cute. Happy Birthday Jonathan. 🧁💐🎂🍰Thank you for your kindness to everybody. I really love your channel. I appreciate how you share all of your knowledge about vintage American girl with us. Have a fun Birthday. 😃💕
I purchased the special edition Kirsten two week before the holiday doll came out. I ended up buying the holiday one as well. Mixed feelings about that.
I asked for her for Christmas but I already got Lila at the holiday event 😂 then K was released! they are both so beautiful, hope my fam pulls thru ✌️loooool Beautiful video ❤❤❤🕊️
I remember the illustrations of Kirsten book cover having the kitchen or fire place behind her and not trees. But I think the cover changes from the 90s or 2000s but I don't know 100%
i wanted this because i dont have the original set but seeing the dolls next to each other they look soooo different and I prefer the original one. not that the new one is bad, shes just not my favorite kirsten. i do wish I had the holiday outfit though.
I love your content....I might have that wreath I have 2...I got a deal on it! How .much is it worth? Maybe I can sell to you. Kirsten & Molly & Kit are my favorite collections! I have a few Kirsten dolls one has Tinsel hair is tar worth more?

Actually, many people in Scandinavia have those really piercing light blue eyes! They are authentic looking on the 1986 Kirsten.

I have my childhood Kirsten doll I got for Christmas from Grandma and Grandpa when I was 13 years old
Happy birthday!!! You barely look a day over 30!! I’m 31 and just getting into American Girl dolls. Told myself I might be too old. 😂
Happy Birthday! I hope you do an all my dolls video or room tour soon!

Imagine if an Addy Christmas re-release included her hoop skirt/undies! That would be incredible. Thank you for this video!
lol! Love that intro!!!!!!❤
I have a few people selling the doll with just the red hairbows because they just wanted the outfit
I purchased the special edition Kirsten two week before the holiday doll came out. I ended up buying the holiday one as well. Mixed feelings about that.

happy early birthday!!!:)
Got mine and have not opened yet. Trying to wait till after Thanksgiving. Not sure I’ll make it 😂
Happy birthday fellow Scorpio! I also turned 40 in November! 🎉🎉
Omg that opening 😂🤣🤣🤣
happy early birthday!!!
Ugh now I want to buy her to put out at Christmas time….
Can you compare the outfit and crown wreath from the 90s and 2000s if you have them? Along with the different book çovers too aswell.
Totally off topic but Is $25 and $5 shipping on PC 1993 Molly Christmas dress with both ribbons à good deal?
She gives off Midsommer vibes.
Happy Birthday Jonny!! 🎂🎁🎉 I like 1986 Kirsten a lot more than LE Kirsten. 1986 Kirsten has nicer hair style, prettier eyes and better face mold.
Happy birthday Jonny! What's the other youtube channel you mentioned at the beginning?
Happy Birthday! 🎉
When I think of a burgundy Pleasant company box. Early 2000s box that My first few dolls càme in.
Happiest of Birthdays!
I wish we could go back to 1992 Pleasant co time . 😊
Happy early birthday!
The beginning!😂😂😂😂😂😂❤
The opening of this video…😄
