The one I'm most excited about is a darkest Kaya with a curly hi-top, a dark Jess, and a medium (just not sure which medium is the least like actual Kaya's colouring) Kaya; in that order.
I’m dying for a medium skin tone addy mold with the short curly red wig, light brown eyes, and freckles. She’s my number one most wanted. After that, your cyo Rosalie has me really wanting a blonde Sonali mold!
Wouldn't it be wonderful if the next AG doll of the Year was created with Addy Mold? It’s about time! I wish you were in charge of the AG dolls design team! It would be wonderful to have a doll like this. Congrats again, she is gorgeous 💗 Have fun
I wish AG would give the Addy mold the love it deserves. We're so long overdue for a fully fleshed out character with an amazing collection, great promotion, and the *Addy* mold!!
I totally agree with you, @@agtakesover ! The rumors of the next Girl of the Year 2024 do not allow me to be very optimistic bout this :( With the latest Historical or the World By Us dolls, they could have shown us the love they have for Addy by using her face mold... But nothing has happened. From my country I am very far from what the AG community talks about this topic... Wouldn't it be nice to have a meeting in some AG store and everyone take an Addy doll in their arms? LOL... #AddyWalkerRevolution ♥
I LOVE the idea of a group tour to the new AG headquarters with every participant carrying an Addy mold doll and wearing some sort of pro-Addy shirt!!@@bcn_0629
I loved seeing your excitement and delight as you unboxed and viewed your CYO. Nora really is adorable! As is Autumn) congratulations to both of you! ❤ Great video! 😊😊😊
I'm very happy for you! Nora is beautiful! Tgank you for sharing your joy with us! I purchased several CYO dolls from the time they first hit the market through 2020. Plenty of them had issues mainly bad eyes, when they were using the "new" eyes, and thin hair. But I did get some good ones as well. I wouldn't mind having that back door link!
Yes, the bad eyes in a $200ish doll is *really* unfortunate. If you email me (agtakesover@gmail.com) I'll be happy to share the link and instructions :-)
Nora is so cute! Congrats! I love this mold, this may be my next doll. Like your excitement when opening the box. I somehow missed this video. This video is dated the same day as my granddaughter’s 13th birthday. I gave her a CYO doll, she loves it. I saw a cat go by, cute and nice coloring! 😻
Thank you - I completely agree that Nora is beautiful. And that cat is Lily. She came with the relationship so we cohabitate, but we're not close lol. That's an awesome gift for your granddaughter!!
Oh my she is absolutely gorgeous. Congratulations on receiving her. She looks beautiful in her new outfit. I always get my dolls ears pierced when I order a new doll, though some historicals don't get that option, something about that not being a thing in their era. That info caused a whole rabbithole search, in Claudie day they used screw earrings, pierced was considered too risque.
Thanks! I absolutely adore her. And I wasn't even sure what you meant by screw earrings, but when I looked it up I was like, "Oh yeah, that's a variant of a clip-on that I've seen before." Not exactly an option for the AG dolls lol.
OMG.. she is PERFECT!! Such a cutie. You and Grace both made some gorgeous gals! My next CYO will be a warm medium tone Addy or a dark skinned Kaya mold. It'll be a while before I get another but getting one with the new freckle pattern is super tempting! Thanks for sharing 😍
Thanks so much - I'm over the moon about her. It's crazy how with some dolls you never connect, with others you connect over time, and with some it's instant. I'm so happy it was instant with Nora! And your future CYO(s) sound gorgeous!
Thanks - and I saw on your recent video that you changed your mind about your 54. Funny how our feelings about them can change. FWIW, I think both of your 54s are lovely.
Yeah - Tonks had walked by in a previous video so I guess Lily decided it was her turn. I'm so glad this gorgeous doll is inspiring others to consider the CYO route! :-)
The new freckle pattern is SO great! You definitely hit a home run with her design. The Addy mold is one of my favorites, for sure. It’s so special. I’d love for them to create another named character with it someday, even if that’s a pipe dream. I don’t know if I’ll ever make a CYO, but the thought of being able to “secretly” combine the new freckles with the old bangs is making it VERY tempting 😂
She turned out BEAUTIFULLY. I'm so glad that both you and Grace got your dolls - it's been a nail biter! The Addy mold is just perfection; they really, really need to do more with it. I love the new freckle pattern, too, and they look adorable on her. Also, I know that apparently bangs are very "blergh" in terms of fashion or whatever, but as someone who has had bangs my entire life and thinks they look SO CUTE on dolls - we need more bangs options! I'm so sad we don't have more. As for next CYO - it'll depend on some of the last planned dolls are. I am looking to add at least one more Addy mold to my collection (as I currently only have Addy) and have either 26 or 58 on my list. A CYO I am contemplating is a dark-skinned Kaya mold with the short natural curls, but if I were to get a 58, I wouldn't necessarily want the same hairstyle. But I think, if I someday want a new CYO, it would be a dark-skinned Kaya mold with freckles, hairstyle TBD.
I'm thoroughly enjoying seeing the Kaya mold combos people are exploring since its addition to the CYO generator! The one you're talking about sounds fun. Short curls as in the recently-added "high top" or as in 58's length?
@@agtakesover Short curls like 58's length, yeah. Which is why I'm holding off for a bit to see if I end up getting myself a 58. Because I also really, really love 58, but... do I really need two dolls with the EXACT SAME hairstyle in my collection???
I love Love Love your doll. She is beautiful. I have been looking for that wig for my dark sinned Addy mold I love bangs. I have never made a CYO doll.
Thanks - I'm glad you like her. If you want the link and instructions for making a doll with that wig (while the wigs last), just email me :-) agtakesover@gmail.com
Thanks for the offer not sure I want to do a CYO I am trying to learn to rewig a doll I followed your video and was able to remove the wig from my doll. I am now looking for a wig a want at a reasonable price. it like my project for now. Thank You again Enjoy the new additions to your doll family.@@agtakesover
@@nailahvenable7989 If you find the right wig and rewig her, I'd love to see pics! Are you planning to glue down the wig? If it's for your grandkids that is probably wise but if it's just for you you might opt not to.
I will, alomg with the Halloween pictures but dont expect alot I am not a very good photographer. This is all a new way of interacting with the dolls I never thought of changing them from their original form or taking pictures. It was just a display thing for me with the historical dolls and playing with the truley me girl of the year dolls. Now I purchased an addy mold and a kaya that i want ro rewig and I have a cecile and her hair is a mess and I tried everything and the hair feels like straw so I want to rewig her. One thing at a time. for now my plan is to glue down the wig. @@agtakesover
Thank you! She was definitely inspired by #11. I didn't want to completely recreate her because I'd like to get an 11 some day, but I wanted to pay homage to her with Nora.
Congratulations! She is beautiful! My CYO from 2020 has the same wig in brown and the old freckle pattern. How awesome to mix old feature offerings with new!
@@agtakesover She looks similar to Molly with a Josefina face mold, freckles, gray eyes, brown hair and the 10 vinyl tone. She is really cute in most of what I dress her in! I have most of Courtney’s clothes for her.
She is wonderful!! I love your reaction when you first see her. So much joy!! I'm thinking that you don't have a #11 and your goal was to create her, but with freckles (because all dolls need freckles). :) Grace's new girl is gorgeous as well. Thanks for telling the whole back story. They are so sweet. If I made a CYO, she would look like my Brynlee: Jess mold, red hair, green eyes, freckles. But I don't need one since I have Brynlee. :)
Yeah, Nora was definitely an homage to #11 (but I didn't want to copy her outright because I'm hopeful that someday I'll get an actual 11). I am absolutely thrilled with her. And I agree that your Jess mold combo would be tempting (IF we could get the old Jess mold still ;-)
@@agtakesover Good plan re: the #11. And re: the Jess mold, the other big IF is those eye sockets. You just never know what you're going to get. Much safer with the Addy mold. You and Grace were smart to go that route.
Thanks! Part of me wonders if they meant to keep some wigs as replacements for the existing CYOs that have bangs. But if that's the case, why haven't they closed the loopholes/back doors? IDK.
You're right. Something happened in the uploading and they didn't show up at the end. I added the playlist link to the video description for you, though.
IDK which is the most popular but I would love to know. And it's a little more than just a link, but if you email me I'll gladly shoot you the link and instructions. agtakesover@gmail.com
TM 11 and TM 45 are the two Addy face molds with straight hair and bangs. 11 has single line eyebrows and 45 has multiple line eyebrows. Neither has freckles.
So glad that you had a happy experience with Nora. It’s so disappointing to wait and hope and wonder for so long and get that oh, no, sinking feeling. I’ve never seen eyelashes that went straight out like that before. I haven’t gotten a doll since last Christmas so maybe it’s a new thing? Nora us super beautiful and I love her in the non AG clothes you put her in.
Her eyelashes don't go straight out. They're the typical ones AG makes these days - that go out and then turn sharply up at the very end. I *do* miss the more natural curve of earlier dolls, but I'm happy these are at least symmetrical!
What was the quantity issues that the princess dolls have? I didn't understand what you were saying when you showed the princess doll picture side by side to your new cyo doll who's beautiful by the way
If you pause the video when I showed that picture, you can see that the eyelashes on the doll's right eye go straight up and the lashes on the left stick straight out. It makes an otherwise beautiful doll look really weird to me, so I'm glad Nora didn't have that issue.
Did you sell the outfit?? This is the one I always put them in and have wanted, but I can't justify spending over $200 for one doll. I'd rather use the money toward finishing off my historical collection first.
Okay I called placed an order on the phone to AG and I redeemedy reward certificate and I got an email to remind me to redeem it and I did Friday when I ordered the Samantha tumbler and vyinal stickers which was a long story I'll have to do a video on that but it's back ordered but oh boy. I totally fill you. So frustrating
She's really beautiful! Did Grace make her own with bangs as well, but red hair? I saw her post a doll like that on instagram and thought she was beautiful as well!
Yep - there's a picture of them side by side at the end of this video. Their hair color, eye color, and skin tone are different but in other ways they're identical.
To my knowledge, it does not. Curse them finding out about and closing the back doors. If I ever find another workaround in the future, I'll update the description of this video and do a community post about it.
She was actually designed with 11 in mind. I would still like to get an 11 someday, so I didn't want to try to recreate her exactly. But she's definitely inspired by 11's combo :-)
QOTD: If you were going to create a CYO *today*, what features would you select?
After seeing your creation an Addy face mold for sure 🤩🤩
The one I'm most excited about is a darkest Kaya with a curly hi-top, a dark Jess, and a medium (just not sure which medium is the least like actual Kaya's colouring) Kaya; in that order.

YES!

With the latest Historical or the World By Us dolls, they could have shown us the love they have for Addy by using her face mold... But nothing has happened.
