American Girl sent out an email in the past few days with this photo of the entire new Beforever collection. From left to right we have Julie, Samantha, Kit, Josefina, Addy, Rebecca, Caroline and Kaya. What a bunch of cuties!
In the American Girl stores there will be special events August 28-31. I have seen promotions that you can print a coupon for a free book, I have seen an announcement about a free trunk at the event, and some stores are having private events before the debut is open to the public (we are going to one of those on Thursday morning).
If you are interested in going to any of the Beforever debut events, my recommendation is to have your parent call your local American Girl store’s Personal Shopping department and ask one of the personal shoppers for all the event opportunities at that store.
If you are going to the DC store for the debut on Thursday look for us – and don’t be shy about saying hi!
Farrah Lily – no, it’s a reboot.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I don’t like BeForever.
Pretty Lily- You live in the Netherlands?!
I might get Samantha. Or a My A.G. Prabably a My A.G.
I LOVE Rebecca’s new meet outfit! I might just have to get her instead of #61 unless the problems with defects become really bad…

All of the new outfits are kinda cute and I’m SO glad they did not change Kaya’s outfit. I wish AG would’ve kept Ruthie and Ivy, they played a pretty important role in the stories.
So true Sabrina!
I’ve seen this..
oh man I am so worried! Will ag still have julies bunny?
Does any one know the schedule for the D.C. Store on Thursday?
Hi Tara,
According to the AG website the debut at the DC store is at 1 pm.
Lydia and AG 4ever: Addy didn’t escape in her old meet dress either she was given it by her first stop on the railroad. She escaped disgused as a boy.
Overalll, it looks very strange to me. I’ve been collecting for 10 years and I really don’t like the changes. Rebecca: Is that her Hanukkah dress and will they make a new one? They already retired her samovar and menorah sets and if her eyes are truly blue, well that’s wrong. She’s illustrated with brownish hazel eyes.
Julie: The only character I may buy because she’s so much more historically accurate. I’m glad we got Marie-Grace and Ivy BeFore this all started. But Julie is boss, love the flowers up the seams of her bell bottoms, the vest, she look awesome in yellow! I am NOT excited one bit for the extra $5.
Addy: she looks so wealthy, she should be wearing rags. Our house is a stop on the Underground Railroad and in the book she is given a cinnamon pink dress to wear safely in the North. This looks like Mama made her a birthday dress, which gets me thkin’, could a lunch and school supplies finally be re-released for Addy?
Kaya: @Gail Kaya DOES look different, but I can’t put my finger on it. Is is her braids – too thin? The fabric – more cheaply made?? Something’s off . . . .
Kit: Girls in the Depression loved knit sweater sets because they got double the wear, they added the cardigans in later Fall to stay warm. I hope she still has her cloche, That dress is all wrong for her. Her first Meet outfit was salmon colored not bright pink and you got beautiful clothing for a cheaper price. I cannot bring myself to buy Kit though she’s charming and adorable, she looks like a MyAg to me.
I’ve never owned Sam or Caroline. Sam looks lovely. Someone in corporate gave her a haircut.
Carline always looks pretty.
Im getting Caroline in December,( I have Josefina, Addy Chrissa, Rebecca, and Kanani) and I have to say she look a little weird. I mean all the dolls do. But out of all them she is the most gorgeous. I don’t know WHAT they did to Kaya and Julie but…
There is a 3rd goty2015 book
she looks so wealthy, she should be wearing rags.

Just because Addy is from a lower class doesn’t mean she needs to be in rags. Granted her new meet outfit does seem a bit too pretty, but poor girls would have still copied the fashion styles of the wealthy, except their clothes would have been less fancy.
(Can somebody confirm this as correct?)

Addy’s mother was a dressmaker so she would have access to lots of beautiful fabrics and leftovers to make Addy’s clothing. Addy’s Christmas dress was among the fanciest of all the dolls, IMO. Her wool school suit was gorgeous too. I don’t think this new dress is that far off the mark.
I LOVE Rebecca’s new outfit as well as Kit’s and Addy’s. Time for a garage sale to get some money!
Okay thanks!
I think Kit’s new dress looks alot like her other dresses like the reportor one, but the flowers do look rather big and a bit 70’s. Oh Kaya’s dress doesn’t seem to have the same fuzzy texture as her old one it looks almost too smooth
Have fun at the event, Char!
Kaya’s face is more round than it was.
The dolls are quite lovely
What is up with Samantha? Her face is like… Wrong! She just looks like all the other dolls whereas the other version of Samantha seemed more… Different. I don’t know, she just doesn’t look like Samantha.
