Chrissa and Her Friends
Chrissa has officially been retired in the American Girl history books, but she and her friends Gwen and Sonali are loving life in my daughter’s room. Chrissa is the doll that my daughter had bonded with most – I think it is because they are both swimmers. She got Chrissa for her birthday last year and then set upon the task of convincing me that she needed the entire collection over the course of the year. Between Christmas and her birthday this year, she did manage to meet her goal.
Gwen, Chrissa and Sonali (weird lighting – I know) with the table, party treats and craft studio.
Chrissa with the craft studio and her llama, Starburst.
Gwen and the picnic table complete with party treats.
Sonali and Starburst at the school desk (which is not really part of Chrissa’s collection, but I think it is a nice addition).
Chrissa wearing her pjs and fuzzy slippers.
Chrissa in her snow gear.
Chrissa in her swim warmups and her second book, Chrissa Stands Strong.
First?
Cute! I like the way you’ve set up her world (accessories).
Awww
Chrissa is adorable!
I was able to get Chrissa too!
And I got her Sundress, movie, and book!
I’m sad she retired.
I love Chrissa!
2nd!!!
i was wrong…………3rd
It looks so cute! And I have the same curtains
Cute pictures! I love Chrissa, Gwen, and Sonali!
Chrissa is so cute! My little sis has her and the llama. I love her and wish she didn’t have to go…
Chrissa is my fave too!! I love her and I’m so sad that she’s retired!!
Chrissa looks adorable in the pics!
I love Chrissa! I have her two!
Hi!!!
Thats cute, I wanted Sonali sooooooo bad!
Nice collection!
Char, do you have the IM-Me for girls?
That’s a cute collection!
Adroable pictures! I believe if you go on americangirl.com and type Chrissa in the search engine you can still buy most of her stuff.
Update- you can buy everything of hers except the Im Me for girls, Chrissa herself, and her pjs. I believe everything else is still in stock.
I cant wait fo this weekend! I’m going to the AG place on Saturday!
thats kinda cool-but the swimsuit didn’t show up when I searched. I think it sold out
I love how the collection has been set up! I regret not taking advantage of the oppertunity to get Chrissa…
sonali is soooooooooooo pretty i love her!!!!!!
Sarah- I know! She looks so good in high and side ponytails! She is like the only doll that acually looks good in pony/pigtails! I love her!
I like Chrissa
I love the way you set up the dolls, Char!
I can’t believe you can still get so much of her stuff! AG must have made too much.
Oh my gosh! That is so cool.
I have the Craft Studio (which is actually, like, the last one in the country because my grandma got it for me from the store in Atlanta, and they only had a couple left. They were the only place that had them!). I think that Chrissa’s table looks really cute. I wanted to get it, but it was too expensive.
Awww chrissas soo cute
You’re right, Ava. For one, AG gave her an enormous collection. Then they overproduced it. That was a little foolish in this economy. Now they have so many leftovers they’re leaving them on the website.
They always leave leftovers on the site. Mia’s bedroom collection was available for about a month after Chrissa was here.
Anyone heard any news about the new historicals yet?
Just asking…
I just went to the AG store and got Lanies starter collection, trash can, and blue shurt for you and the doll. Its all amazing.
yes, i’ve heard rumors about the new historicals
The only news I’ve heard is that they are working on a French historical in the early 1800’s. Names for her are Emmaline, Laurette, Marie-Grace, and Cecile (yes, like the GOML), with the last two being favored. No news on Sarah & Denise yet.
C’est bon nouvelles!
Finally, a french girl! That’s completely off from the rumors I heard, but then again the person who I got the Sarah and Denise info from also told me Rebecca would be a Pilgrim or an AA ballerina who has an allergy to cats and doesn’t go to school even though she wants to.
lol
LOL about the AA ballerina Rebecca. The Sarah & Denise rumors however are real. ISBN have been found for both of them.
Lena- Cool! I can so see Laurette or Cecile being her name. Probably Cecile- pretty but easy to pronounce.
But you said she would be french, how does that relate to being an american?
New Orleans was originally French. The Northeast was also pretty French.
I can’t wait for new historical characters!
I hope she lives in Northwest,though. Kaya is the only one living in northwest.
I like her names,but I do want Laurette.
I don’t know about that. The French names and the early 1800’s setting points more to New Orleans.
I like Emmaline (maybe Emma for short?) and Marie-Grace.
About the “French” girl-Elizabeth is English, Josefina is Mexican, Kirsten is Swedish, Addy is African, Nellie is Irish, Rebecca is Russian, Emily is English, and Ivy is Chinese. The only really “American” Girls are Kaya, Felicity, Samantha, Kit, Ruthie, Molly, and Julie.
To Rachel I said that-I was looking for the person who said that.
Addy, Rebecca, and Ivy were born in the states, making them American too. Nellie, I’m not sure about, but I think she was born here.
I wonder when they will come out.
Nellie came from Ireland.
I see what you mean, Lena, but most of the dolls are not all AMERICAN.
Actually,here’s the fact:New Orleans was originally owned by France,then by
SPAIN,then finally,on 1812,it was owned by United States.
If it’s true,then what will AG do about Spain part?
Plus I like Emmaline,too. It kind of reminds me of Emma Watson. She was born in France.
I don’t think Felicity would be considered as an American. When she was born,the colonies were owned by England.
Wait,I’m confused. Because I don’t think US had bought New Orleans from Spain.
Out of 10 main characters, 8 are born on American soil (so Lissie’s counted). Only Kirsten & Josefina were born elsewhere. Out of 5 friend, 3 were born in England, the rest here. 5 out of 15 were not born here is not most. And what makes America American is all the immigrants.
New Orleans was owned by the French, sold to Spain, sold back to France, and then to the US. Here’s a fun fact for ya: Creole means “mixed”. So a Creole could be French-Spanish.
If you use the logic that they are not white American born, here’s another thing. Lissie is British, Sam, Kit, Ruthie, Molly, and Julie are all European. Only Kaya is truly American.
Oh,cool!
But do we have any chance that we’ll get AA doll-I’ve heard that there were lots of AA people that time.
So…Princess Tiana from Disney’s Princess and the Frog movie was AA,and she
lives in New Orleans,and it was owned by France then…wasn’t it?
So it still works if AG makes an AA girl.
Tiana was in the 1920’s. New Orleans was sold to the US in 1804.
Creole could mean AA-French, AA-Spanish, AA-Native, Fench-Spanish, French-Native, or Spanish-Native. So yes, it’s likley she’ll be half AA, but keep in mid, this is only me speculating.
Ohh…
And do you think AG dolls are still good for kids younger than recomended age?
Depeds on their maturity level. If they are mature enough then maybe 5 years old. If not, get Bitty.
I love Chrissa! I wish I had gotten her.
On the subject of the next historical character- I love either Laurette or Emmaline. I know it’s very early to know for sure, but are there any rumors about when this doll will be coming out, if she does at all? I heard 2010 once, but I don’t know if it was on here or not…
Where did you find the stuff about emmaline/Laurette/Marie-Grace/cecile and Sarah and Denise
Random sites. The 4 French names are trademarked, and ISBN numbers were found for Sarah & Denise (though not by me).
well do you remember any of the sites.
The Patent/Trademarking site?
ok i cant find it but o well
Julie is European??
Julie’s ansestors came from Europe, just like Ivy’s came from China.
If you look at the top of the insides of your dolls legs You might see a star like marking. Do you know whet these are. They are on me and my sisters dolls that we got on the 13th.
Also, where did you find out about the new hastoricl? Sounds cool. Could you tell more?
I think the stars are to authenticate that they are American Girl limbs. The factories where the dolls are made do make other dolls too. Its also for the hospital to know if a limb was replaced with a non-AG one. Kit, my oldest doll, has them.
Like I said to Beth, various sites.
Karis i see what youre talking about i neve rnoticed it before i dont know what it is
Does anyone have Samantha and/or Nellie????
I have Sam.
Lena- Could you give me a name of one of the sites?
I have both Samantha and Nellie.
lucky!
I had saved and saved and saved for samantha and Nellie, but Nellie was already sold out on the site, and I didn’t have the heart to get Samantha…but I asked AG and they said they’ll be released again, so I’ll wait
i only have two dolls…but I’m savign up for more! That’s really cool about the french girl! C’est bon! (im partly french too). People tell me Denise will be AA
i looked up the name Denise-and found it was actually very popular with AAs’ in the 1800s
wow, lena!
you really knwo your history!
know, sorry
thats a very cute configuration of your daughter’s dolls, Char
i don’t see a star on my doll….
I can’t wait for Laurette,Emmaline,or Cecile to come out!
I want her to have wavy brown hair if not AA-AG dosen’t have any wavy brown haired girls that is avilable for purchase right now. If she has a good outfit(probably French outfit),then well she’s on my favorites list.
Ooops-I mean wavy brown haired historical characters
I love Laurette, Ceclie and Emmaline. I don’ot really like Marie-Grace because Kit already has a grace-and its a bit of a mouthful. They’re all beautiful names though. I can’t really picture an AG doll called Emmaline. I think Laurette would be the most ideal because, as Lena pointed out, there already HAS been a french Cecile, who I have in her doll figurine. I would like a girl with honey blonde, long, wavy hair, sortof like Nellie’s hair color. Actually, we have Molly, who has wavy long brown hair sometimes when it just came out of braids. My sis’s Molly doll was purchased 3 years ago, but it’s still textured, not like Sonali and Marisol’s hair, but its still considered wavy. I would also like the honey blonde hair one of the JLY dolls has-the one with hazel eyes and short curly hair.
I may get Lanie tomorrow at the AG Place, i need your advice, guys. I alteady have a Lanie Bitty Twin, should I call the GOTY Lanie:
-Amy (’cause she kinda looks like Amy March)
-Angelina (thats my old dog’s name)
or
-Cassidy (which is my old cats name)
I was gonna say 24 has vavy brown hair…. and Sam and Molly do too.
The US Patent and Trademarking website.
Okay,here’s my question to AG:
WHAT HAPPENED WITH EMILY?! In The Light at the Cellar:Molly Mystery,it says her aunt got better and Emily moved in with her aunt. Mystery stories do make a good afterhood story,but anyway,it’s more about mystery so…
I don’t get your question.
The story was that Emily was meant to stay with the McIntires for 2 week while her aunt recovered from being ill. Makes sense that if her aunt got better, she’ go live with her.
anybody who can answer this:
“why did Emily become a doll-even though she is minor next to Susan and Linda?”
Maya, don’t worry about not haveing stars on limbs. Some of my dolls don’t have the stars either, and they were bought directly from AG.
That knowledge comes from being a junior in highschool and a history buff.
I like Angelina best.
She’s a lovely doll, and I love her story-but why Emily?
They chose Emily because she could give a different view of life durring WWII. Linda and Susan (both equal friends to Molly) couldn’t.
Do you think AG should make an afterhood book for each character-including Samantha,Molly,and Kirsten?
thanks Lena!
Yes, I think I will call her Angelina
Yes, I do. Like when they are 15 or 20, I’d love a book for each. (Sam meeting Rebecca? Or Nellie? Please?)
And does anyone know why American Girl dolls are only sold in AG store,and the website? (not including craiglist and ebay,)
oh! that makes sense, elizabeth’s a loyalist, ivy’s from an utterly different culture, Nellie was a servant…hmm, I never thought of it that way!
I dunno. They are meant to be exclusive?
i was told it was because if they sold secondhand-there’d be a lot of fraud and fake AG dolls. Apple also sells like that
do you think they’ll do an 80s girl? i never understood why the 70s was considered an era.
I think that Sam looks much older then 9 on the new book covers
Also, it is much easier to control sales and prices that way-but you can’t exactally ban people from selling their dolls on eBay
The 70’s was an era. But historical, not to me at least. And I was born in the 90’s. Gosh I hope for NO 80’s dolls. The horror….
I have both Samantha and Nellie as well. I got them in around 2004 when their movie was released. I had been wanting Samantha ever since I got Kit (my 1st doll) and whenever I would look at the catalog. But when her movie came out, I wanted her immediately! I couldn’t get Sam right away, but I was able to get Nellie with my money. Then, at Christmas in ‘04, I was shocked and overjoyed when I saw a package that was big enough for a doll box. Then I saw her. At the time, she looked just like me. I love them both.
*sigh* well, I’m off to work, bye!
i’d love an AA french american girl that lives in New Orleans! That reminds me i have to go study for my french mid-term!
Je’taime Francais! Aurevoir mes amies!
I think 80s would be different enough. I mean, many of the 80s fashions have come back-converse etc. so I don’t think her collection would be very different from a JLY Collection. Maybe….
i like the sound of a French Native, because we only have one native doll and several JLY AA dolls.
A big problem with me is I go through my phases-I wanted Nicki really badly for about a month at one point, then decided I wasn’t gonna pay double for her off eBay. Then it was the Nellie phase-which started and ended quickly when I heard she’s be reintroduced. Now it is whatever doll will arrive.
Sorry-I meant on my first comment that the 80s wouldn’t be different enough
Maya, fake AG dolls are very easy to spot if you know them well.
really? how can you tell?
Fake AGs tend to be shiny and have really big eye sockets.
ill keep my eyes peeled.
But for every product-there is usually a fake version. From fake lo tops to fake dolls, so I guess I shouldn’t be surprised…
I don’t think that there will be an 80’s doll because the company was made in the 80’s.
Actually, that seems reason to make an 80’s doll. I can see that for the 25th aniversary, or possible the 30th.
does anyone have any of the AG pets such as ginger/coconut/pepper/sugar/honey i was reading the reiews on AG and the werent very good so are they good?
I’m back!
Beth, there is a new AG pet, Pepper, the husky.
Oh, you said Pepper. Sorry! Never mind.
ya thats OK but does anyone know if theyre good or not??
Beth, they have a hard pastic box under the fur, and are completly non-posable.
I have Licorice. Are they good other than that though?
I haven’t heard otherwise.
o ok
PLEASE READ OMg you can still buy sonail and gwen and some chrissa outfits even though its not 2009 amazing
ya i just bought the party treats
I have the old licorish and Coconut. They are really wll made, but when I saw the new pets at the store they looked ok. Suger looked horible with meesed up fur
Peper looked the best. Ginger was ok, and the new Coconut and Honey were good looking. Still, Suger looks like a long haired dog thats never been brushed.
I have the Coconut with the magnetic mouth. She (or he?) is alright, but the accessories were cheaply made. Both the collar and the chew toy broke. Not worth the $22 I spent.
yes, I have the hard, heavy, paperweight coconut, i think its the new one.
i got honey and found that her fur would come off in clumps sometimes, but i returned it and got a new one that didn’t have that problem
Marilyn-usually outfits and collections stick around until March-April, because there are always items that have been overproduced. Parts of Mia’s collection were around until May!
Samantha and Nellie’s collection stuck around for a few months after the new year.
i asked AG about that, they said it was normal for collections to last a little longer then planned, after all, its not as if they can force people into buying every last item. And if a really popular product goes out of stock too early then they loose the oppertunity of earning a LOT of money. During the end of the year is the most popular season to get GOTY dolls, and ’cause Gwen and Sonali were so popular they just kept making more because they knew costumors-especially people who were gonna resell the dolls on eBay would take the oppertunity to buy the dolls until there were none left.
i don’t like sugar, her fur is not very soft
here’s a question: people are telling me that for the 25th anniversary (which is 2011 i think) all the original dolls will be reintroduced. Would that mean that if Molly and Emily are retired this year, that they’d come back the year after?
it doesn’t sound very practicle
is nobody here???
Maya, that is a rumor, one we would all like to happen, but still a rumor.
And Sam’s collection did stay till May, because she was officially archived then.
Aslo, Ava, Coco is a girl.
I think people are saying that three original characters will be reintroduced because originals are retired,one character per year.
We are all hoping that they will for their 25th anniversary(sort of like what Cabbage Patch Kids did),and they may come with exclusive items,but they are going to last for about a year,I guess
It’s kind of funny how Coconut was originally considered as a boy dog…and then they changed stuff and Coconut is a girl now
Yeah, Coco was originally a boy, then with his/her secon release they changed him/her to a girl.
We also hope for the best (reintroduction) because CS said to many of us that “Sam will be back”.
finnally a french girl and in louisiana, they have very french places like the french quarter and new orleans
i just wanted to share this with yall but when Emily came out i freaked because we have the same last name lol
The French Quarter is IN New Orleans, Allie. And, this is purely speculation.
And i hope the french girl will be named Emmaline (i really like that name) and i hope she has long wavy light blonde hair (as long as kayas) and a light blue dress and her hair pulled back half up half down (idk what u call that) with a white bow
lol i like girly stuff
and lena i kno its in new orleans…i live in louisiana
and scince every time i post ANYTHING some one is mean to me i wont post anymore
I was simply correcting you, and telling you that at this point, it was speculation. I wasn’t being mean.
Allie, what you are imagining is identical to what I am! I hope, atleast,
’cause forever i’ve dreamed of a doll with long wavy blonde hair, but in my vision its more honey blonde-gold like the cover art for Cecile: Gates of Gold. I guess that’s where I’m getting this from, though that time period takes place in the 1700. I think her hair should be in a braid or just loose, and that she has green eyes. Not Rebecca-green eyes (although those are hazel), and not electric like Felicity’s eyes, a softer shade.
don’t worry, by the way. Most of the time online when people post it may look like they’re being mean, but its hard to word out what you want to say when you can’t see the person whos speaking. I’ve learnt to get used to it. Its not that they mean to be harsh. its not personal
A French girl sounds great! But what about the Sarah and Denise rumors.
Sarah might mean Addy’s best friend – a possible best friend doll, perhaps?(!)
I just did some Google-ing about the Denise (because I have no life). I thought *maybe* it was french. It is!
The girl’s name Denise \d(e)-ni-
se\ is pronounced de-NEES. It is of French origin, and its meaning is “follower of Dionysius”. Feminine form of Dennis, from the Greek name Dionysius. There is an ancient Latin form of the name, Dionysia, but this variant dates back only to the 1920s.
Maya, have you seen the new AGT green eyes? They are a much softer shade. I can’t imagine her anything but AA, so i see lighter dark skin, curly black hair tied up, and a blue short puffy sleeve empire waist dress. And green eyes
Sarah, won’t be Addy’s BF. Friends don’t get six books. Sarah and Denise, there hasn’t been anything on them yet. But I’m really hoping for late 1800’s for them. We have enough 1900’s dolls.
The name Cecile is very pretty and simple, Marie-Grace is kind of a mouthful.
Ava- that’s really intersting about Denise!
Oh- I didn’t realize the dolls would be getting six books each. I’m excited!
I’d like to see a doll that’s the daughter of a Chinese migrant worker. That would be very interesting.
Maya thats cool that we were picturing the (almost) same look for the doll
that would be nterestng Ava
There are way too many 1900s dolls. There hasn’t been a new 1800s historical since 1997.
I bet American Girl made so many 1900’s dolls because they make it (a little bit) more modern for girls. Little girls want dolls like Julie because she has clothes and accessories similar to what we have today.
i agree Lena
the early 1800s-that would be neat
no kidding, allie!
i do want an AA doll, but im hoping Sarah will be the AA doll, ’cause my best friend’s names is Sarah and she’s AA and it would be so cool to have her doll…interesting about Denise
i haven’t actually seen the new green eyes, ill check
i hope the name is cecile or laurette
i think it would be neat to have a doll from New Orlenes, im Canadian, and the french fascinate me!
If it was up to me, Sarah, Denise, and French girl would all be pre-1900.
French girl might be pre-1900, but I bet Sarah and Denise are from last century. They will probably be from the ’20s or the ”50s, maybe even the ’60s.
The French girl is suposedly early 1800;s, but I agree, Sarah & Denise will be 1900s. I doubt it’s be the 20’s though.
I agree, probably not 20s, there are a bunch of dolls clustered around the early 1900s. But hopefully we will end up with atleast one 1800s girl. Are all three of these dolls going to be released this year?
I don’t think Sarah will be Addy’s friend, but then again, nobody thought there’d be two best friend dolls until Chrissa came along. AG likes to break the rules, to surprise us. So I wouldn’t be very surprised if Sarah did turn out to be Addy’s friend with a series all her own.
I don’t know when they’ll be released.
I still doubt Sarah will be Addy’s friend.
i really liked the 1800 cowgirl idea though, i think it was yours-Lena. I’m hoping one of the new dolls will be based on that.
i would like a hispanic historical doll, like Marisol kindof. She was pretty. Does Josefina count as Hispanic?
Of COURSE Josefina counts as hispanic!!!
I must have missed something. I heard about the french girl- who is Sarah and Denise and are they BFFs? What are the rumors?
ISBN were found for a six book series about a Sarah and a Denise (6 books each).
Fina is Mexican, that does indeed count as Hispanic.
Thanks, Maya. AG seemed to notice that cowgirls sell with Nicki, so maybe we will get a wild west girl.
Rachel, I think Sarah is Addy’s friend. ( I know because of an AG activity book, and it showed that Sarah was Addy’s friend). I’m not postive. I haven’t looked at the book since April.
I don’t know anything about Denise.
Maya, Joesfina is from the 1800s. No offense.
I forgot where I bought the book, though.
Yea Lena I bet she would be AA there are two many blonde white dolls plus most French people in new Orleans are AA maybe we will finally get the AA we wanted Lanie to be.
Sarah IS Addy’s best friend, but Sarah was a common name through history.
Actually, most French people in NO at the time were white French at the time.
i live near new orleans and i love how the people in the french quarter speak beacuse they have a more heavy french accent and i only have a slight french accent
i want the french girls name to be Baylee beacuse thats my bffls name
Ashleigh in New Orleans there are french people of Caucasin and AA so…
where i put are i meant to put ‘and were’
*sigh* American Girl, in my opinion, hasn’t really covered pioneers a whole lot. They covered the pioneer age quite a bit with Kirsten, but she is retired. I am just hoping for the War of 1812 doll, as I’ve said before. I hope that Sarah or Denise will be in the 1800s, but I don’t know… if AG comes out with another 1900s historical, I will be furious.
I doubt Sarah will be Addy’s friend, and I agree with Lena that we need more pre-1900 dolls.
And weren’t there Caucasians in NO too? I don’t believe it was mostly AA.
A caucasian girl with long straight black hair and bright blue eyes would be beautiful.
Are Sarah, Denise and the French girl all for sure?
I would love a wild west girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She would be mine!!!!!!!!!
Does anybody know when this new doll might come out?
All we know is that AG has trademarked 4 French names, and ISBN (belonging to AG) were found for Sarah & Denise.
It’ll be cool to have a girl with wild west theme! It’ll be cool to have cowboy or cowgirl story/just wild west town story.
But I doubt that AG will make a character with wild west theme…I don’t know…
So do you think AG WILL make 1 or 2 character(s) this yr? I hope so!
And maybe they can include stories about California Trail or Oregon Trail?
(It takes about 6 months-it might be boring…)
Great idea. A Western theme? Better not let AG know, or they won’t use it!
Oopsie! I meant: A Western theme? Great idea.
I do want a WW themed girl,though. Bcuz she will have cool story,look,and things.
About 80’s girl- I doubt there will be one becasue you realize some of out parents were born in the 70’s. 80’s is way too close to now and to Julie. And what differences would there be?
And, you know, girls like ponies.That’s the only reason I suspect they might make one, same with a ballerina historical. Girl will be able to relate (look at Rebecca & acting).
Between Julie and 80’s girl? Big. Neon clothes & can of hairspray hair big. And parents were also upset when Julie came out, and that they were “Historical”. And AG did it anyway. As much as I wouldn’t like it, I can see AG making an 80’s girl.
Haha,Lindsey is about sixteen or seventeen…next yr she’ll be an adult…If she still existed. Gosh,she’s old as AnnaSophia!
Lindsey would be 18 or 19 now. A full adult.
Sigh…like in 2040,Lindsey,Kailey,Marisol,Jess,Nicki,Mia,Chrissa,Gwen and Sonali will be considered as a historical. But I don’t think AG will make any character after 2000’s because they already have GOTY
I think they will, in 2040 or later. There’s many things going on now that the GOTY don’t go over.
But there is still JLY that can easily be made into historicals. I’m using clothes from 95-99 to make my own historical.
Wow..
And I wonder how long will AG exist?
I never said all people in New orleans were AA allie, In my french class we studied New Orleans history and most of the people were AA, I know there are white people in New Orleans too. I’m just hoping she’ll be AA which is a possibilty. We all seemed to want Lanie to be AA so maybe she will be AA.
Toodles!
Ok, I’m confused. Are Sarah and Denise twins or best friends? If so which one is the main girl? Or have we like NO clue yet?
We have no clue. Sarah & Denise could be from different times or the same time. They could be friends, or they could be strangers. All we know now is that both have 6 books.
as long as people are buying ag will be here
How do we know that they both have 3 books?
Also, what site did you get all this info from, and When might these dolls come out?
Anybody hear?????
dont yall think it would be weird if AG made twins?
lol
That would be weird.
Karis, someone found an ISBN and they each have 6 books
I really don’t remember where these were found. Stop pestering me about it.
if they made twins that would be weird but they’d have to make one has a different hairstyle and clothing, personality etc because if they were the same why would you buy both.
ive always wanted bitty twin historicals. I used to imagine my two twins, who were the original brunettes are Nan, feliciy’s sister and Benny, Rebecca’s brother
I think it would make sense if AG released an AA and a WW girl. Its true that addy, josefina and kaya never sold well, and i think that AG would release two at once, because i doubt an AA WOULD’T sell well, as there has been only one and that everybody wanted an AA doll, but AG would be unsure, and would probably introduce a very popular one like a western girl with it. Rebecca was a huge hit, too, because she was a change from what we’re used to.
i dont think they will make twins, as they’d be too alike to really both sell well, unless they looked very different
I think it would be cool to have best friend dolls with three books each.
I’d rather have them be from different time periods with a full 6 book series.
a girl with long hair like kayas would be lovely
I have Chrissa, her PJ’s, Starburst, both books and her Warm-Up suit.
I got all that for Christmas, but i can’t wait to get Lanie for my birthday! Sonali is vey cut…kinda wish I got her…!
oops i meant she is very cute… lol sorry
you can still get her, Liz, if you type in ‘chrissa’ in the search engine. You can get everything but the swimsuit, Chrissa and the IM for girls
gwen and sonali are still available
did you know sonali’s face mold was supposed to be mia’s?
i want lanie, nicki and rebecca so bad
Can someone tell me who Denise is!
I’m getting Emily, Lanie, and Lulu for my birthday.
Ashleigh, are you still on?
What does ISBM mean????
Anybody on?
i just watched the lion king haha
i love old disney movies
What does ISBM mean??
No, Sonali’s mold was NOT means for Mia. The prototype Mia mold was different.
Denise is one of the girls ISBN were found for. ISBN = International Standard Book Number.
Well I cant wait until we get more info for these dolls. Especially the french one!
hey guys, you can still buy gwen and sonali…just search gwen and sonali on ag.com…i swear im not making it up!
Ive always a wanted a 1600’s doll, like the Mayflower! I even know what I think she would look like! Of course that will probably never happen. If it did I would just have to convince my parents I needed one more doll.
I know its cool! I just baought the party treats the other day.
Twin dolls would be interesting; there could be the main twin and her best friend could be her twin sister…. hm. I doubt AG would ever do it, though.
Im studying latin…soo much stuff to study!
I can’t wait for new characters. But French girl is either Denise or Sarah,isn’t she???
And if they made a ww girl..
LOL.Lanie’s starter collection is sold out….
And the doll,accessories,gardening outfit,and butterfly outfit is still avilable….
If they made a ww girl,I hope her name’s something exciting and fun,but I have no idea what it should be!
Oh and I think AG should have lower prices for some of their items(such as a raccoon/trash can. They could’ve included an empty can or something like that,so girls can pretend that Lanie’s throwing away trashes)and hair styles in hair salon.
Ugh,somehow,AG is just addicting!
And gosh,how much will it cost to buy everything(1 for each item) from AG?
I think it might be more than 100 thousand…and that’s a LOT of money
No the french girls name is Laurette, Emmaline, Marie-Grace or Cecile.Were not sure which one yet ,AG&FAN
Originally, when each historical had a full world, they offered Whole World collections. They were more than 1000$.
All that is known is that Denise & Sarah are meant to get 6 books. These names are under ISBN, so I think these names are separate from the Trademarked ones.
I mean every single thing including historicals,jly,And goty except ones that aren’t avilable for purchase
And well I don’t think new girl’s name will be Marie-grace somehow
there wouldn’t be a 1600 girl because Kaya is supposed to be the first, ‘first nations’, i mean, i guess a girl who came off the mayflower could have a native american friend, but i can’t see that happening
sorry Lena, my mistake
a full world-why dont they anymore?
and does anybody know how much the dolls cost when they were first produced??? Ive been wondering…
i dont think her name will be Marie-Grace either, its pretty, but I can’t see:
-Marie-Grace: An American Girl
doesn’t fit as a doll’s name
Yeah, everything would be around 7000, if you got all the JLY, their accessories and the really expensive shelves and cubords and trunks for your doll-hey, rebecca’s trunk is 100-way over the top!
But, like a bubble, the economy will have to collapse as the prices are getting larger and larger…and that will force AG to reduce their prices if they want to stay in buissness, so i think slowly the prices will go down.
You are soooooooooo lucky Ana, that is literally my entire wishlist!!!!!
lol, wow, Lanie was a HUGE hit
The have already lowered some prices. The pets were 22$, but in the January catalog you can get them for 20$.
They already did lower prices. In 85, the dolls cost $84. But in today’s prices, that’s more like $120.
i just checked-Lanie’s starter collection IS available now
i talked to my dad about it- he said that this whole credit crunch thing will get people to avoid getting 100 dollar dolls,
my mom can remember when they were 85, but that was A LOT to them then
just like if the economy collapsed-even if they reduced it to 85, it would be a lot
in 50 years or so Lanie and all the previous GOTYs will be worth sooooooooooo much
Excuse me, but the economy IS collapsed. Even if it wasn’t, there are people who think 100$ is too much for a doll.
because they WILL be historical. If AG considers 36 years ago historical, then i’d bet the 2000 would be historical, and they may even have a Credit Crunch doll-who knows?
it would be neat to see dolls dressed up in what is ‘old fashioned clothing’ to the next generation
thats my point, and slowly its getting worse (the economy). Some people haven’t been impacted by it yet-but prices are getting higher and THEN they will fall dramatically. Its called ‘the economic bubble’
there are always people who think 100 is too much for a doll-and always will. I used to think that, until I saw the dolls
I haven’t been impacted yet, but my dad’s in the business that does well in collapsed economies (show business). I work at Disney, and you really do see peoples economic struggles though.
I realise that. Then there are those who are too ignorant about AG who spout nonsence about the books. I once saw a lady who was mad that “Addy’s mom abandoned her child and never saw her again and Addy couln’t read or write” In Addy’s time, it was illegal to teach them in the south, and she learns in book 2. And Momma leaves Esther because that is historically accurate to what she would do, leave a small child with family or friends, and escape North, and hope to see each other again. And she got Esther back in book 6.
guess wut!!!!!!!!!!!!! im getting gwen for my b-day and im buying lanie yayayaya and some other ag stuff but i just wanted to tell u guys wut dolls im getting!
Does anybody know for sure if the new doll will be French?When might she come out?
No one knows for sure. Least no one who will tell. All that’s known is that French names are trademarked, my cousin hinted at early 1800s, and Pleasant Company was working on a Louisiana Purchase historical in the late 90’s.
My guess is any new dolls will come with the summer or fall release.
i got lanie and her startes collection and hammock over the weekend! haha and i read her 1st book and now i just emailed a local volunteer group cuz now i wonna garden in public places! thanks to Lanie Holland!
and omg i was just about to turn my #25 into a french lover (like sew her a french design and write her book). only my personal doll would be a GOTY with a passion for traveling and exploring world cultures. maybe the french doll ag is rumored to be producing will be from the 1800’s french revolution. i’ve been to france lol, now THAT would be cool and would end up im my collection!
Hi, guys! I’m new here! Well, not to the site, but to the commenting! Do any of you guys have Lanie? I don’t. : (
My dolls are: ( in the order I got them)
Samantha
Mia
Michelle ( JLY # 13)
Nellie
Ruthie
Kit
Chrissa
Emily
Kirsten
Sonali
AGFAN- Denise and Sarah are historical girls that are coming out. Or anyway books about a Denise and a Sarah are coming out.
Lena, Anne, and whoever else might care . . . I’ve decided to stop visiting doll diaries. It’s a great site, but I just don’t like seeing spoilers for all of the dolls. Good bye!
And I believe the dolls were $82 in 1993. I have an old holiday catalog from that year. Good bye for real this time!
I also think that sometimes its not very fun to learn about dolls early. Then I’m not a exided about the doll when it comes out.
I am. I like spoilers.
I’m off skiing, so I’m gone for the rest of the week. Bye!
i like spoilers too
they get me even more excited!
i have my drama mid term today and then get to come home at 9:30! yah!
Usually all the AG doll sites have spoilers-I do like them bcuz it’s like a puzzle…
But well DollDiaries isn’t the first website that gives out all the info so I’m ok with it
i like spoilers, its sortof like an ‘insider’ thing.
they are so much fun!!!!
you hear about the dolls in advance for people who DO look for spoilers-that you may as well look and get the good info
have fun Lena!
my math mid-term is on friday!
Yes-I’ve met people who thought Mia was a bad influence because she doesn’t ‘listen to what her family encourages her to do’, who thought Felicity’s adventures were encouraging children to ride at midnight, and who thinks Samantha being described as a ‘victorian beauty’ is bad for children’s self esteem…
its sad
i haven’t been affected yet either, and i hope i never will…
My parents took the laptop, so I’m back on. And in Utah.
I’ve met all sorts of people who complain, yet they never even read the books (or in the case of poor Gwen, looked at the website.)
oh yes! I remember that horrible story about Gwen-what a joke!
wow-it must be cold in Utah!
, i really don’t like cold whether and no snow
Its not snowing where i am
You’re telling me… I’m from Florida! Its not that cold here though, its around 34F. In Poland, it was closer to 0F.
I actually like spoilers. I don’t know why, but I just do.
Hello!
Which one do you like better: Josefina or Addy?
Addy. Her story made my both cry & gag at times.
Lena- Have fun skiing! I hope ya have a great week! And I feel the same way about Addy’s story.
Ashleigh- Mid-terms? We’re doing finals, its horrid.
I love spoilers as well!
And Michaela- Welcome to Doll Diaries! Do you have any dolls?
I got back last night from a trip with my youth group!!!!!! It was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I realized that my jly looks like Amanda with blue eyes. In chrissa’s movie, I think she had short blonde hair with bangs-just like my doll. So I’m going to name her Amanda! LOL
I think people should really read the whole series b4 making reviews like that too
Actually, I’m snowboarding, but Ski Trip sounds better than Snowboard Trip
Welcome Michaela! I don’t have Lanie…. yet. I’ll buy her once I see Chrissa (yes, I’m selling her).
since i got 2 of lanies accessories sets by mistake, im returning 1 and getting chrissa’s party treats! yay!
Gracie, haha, I like spoilers too!
Woo-hoo! I just got $13 for my Lanie fund!
I agree with you, Lena. Addy’s stories were wonderful. I almost cried when I read the last book. However, I prefer Josefina in the doll catagory (curse you, bad spelling). Her outfits are just so chic and beautiful. It annoys me that AG has retired so much of her collection.
Lena- Indeed, it does sound better! I snowboard myself; I simply can’t stand up on ski’s.
I agree with you Lena. Addy’s stories are so heartwarming,especially the last book…
Sydnie- To answer your question, I do.
I have Samantha, Mia, Michelle (#13), Nellie, Ruthie, Kit, Chrissa, Emily,Kirsten, and Sonali.
Phew, that’s a lot of dolls!
I realized that Kaya’s animals,and Julie’s hoops outfit was retired.
really?! i didnt know they reitred julies outfit! i just noticed that they retired kits bday treats….
I just got back from school. Sixth grade math is NOT my thing. It’s so hard!
I hate how AG retires everything.
Me too Gracie.
Michaela, try Algebra 2. Now that is hard.
I’m only in Algebra 1/2 and I already think that’s hard.
I’m learning geometry.
So, who is Denise?
I know Sarah is Addy’s friend, but I don’t know who Denise is!
Well, we’ll have to see if Denise and Sarah are in sale in Spring.
I mean on sale, not in sale.
Bye! Gotta study science!
Sarah & Denise are both new AG dolls with 6 books each. Sarah likley isn’t Addy’s friend.
Oh, yeah. That does look hard, Lena. I feel so dumb. I barely understand ratios and here you are studying letters and numbers mixed together into this weird combo. Well, I’ll learn eventually.
Oh, and BTW, did you ever think that Sarah and Denise’s names might be code names for future dolls? I mean, we thought Gwen’s name was Lanie and Chrissa’s Lulu.
I did. I still partially do. Sarah & Denise don’t seem to go with the other AG names.
Basic algebra’s easy. When you get to quadratic formula, it gets hard. Try this:
6x + 8 = 20
Well, 8+6=14, so the x has to equal six, right? I’ve already done that before!
No wait, x means to multiply, so six times two is twelve plus eight is… twenty. Oh come on! They’re the same answer, so which is right?!?! ( sigh) I hate math like crazy.
Michaela, im in 6th grade and were learning input/output tables and finding out stuff like x-16 if x=-82 lol i get confused and im bareley making honor roll
-82 looks weird in my comment but its negative 82
6x+8 +20
20- 8 =12
6x=12 I haven’t done stuff like this in a long time!
x=2
Funny how we started talking about 6th grade Algebra.
haha im in 8th grade algebra…we have to GRAPH equations….like take any x=y equation and turn it into a graph….its fun but can be challenging when you start getting asked questions like “which coordinate is a point that both graphed equations intersect at?” I MEAN GOSH WHO CARES!!!!!!
I wonder,since Lanie is such a science lover, if they will ever have a math lover……hmm…..nahhh I mean with all of the issues in the world….who would buy a doll that’s all about adding numbers and stuff… i really wish they’d make a GOTY that has cancer…. like the doll could have hair but then in the accessories set they could include a bald cap so the doll looks like they are in chemotherapy….wow that sounds really depressing….but I would buy it. My family has a long history of cancer. my aunt actually just got diagnosed w/ breast cancer a few weeks ago and she needs chemo…but yep….i mean chrissa was about bullying, and lanie is about the environment….so hey maybe a cancer doll isn’t such a farfetched guess….
Sometimes I wonder why teachers make you learn all this stuff that you may not be learning in the future. I mean, like Alex said, WHO CARES? In your adult life, if you’re a vet, for example, why would you need to know all these graphs and stuff?
It doesn’t make sense!
Oh, and can we change the topic back to dolls? PLEASE?
Vets have to know the right amount of medicine to give to pets depending on their weight and age. So they need algebra. And Ava got it right. X = 2
Its OK if we stray off subject, as long as we keep it family friendly.
yea im learning geometry
Karis-My Kirsten has those stars on her arms. IDK about Elizabeth, her limbs are too tight to pry under her armpit to look. (;
Well, Lena, I get it. My dad said if my ancestors didn’t decide to become American I’d be European myself!
Sarah and Denise…how do you guys know that these are AG’s? A lot of book series have six books. ISBNs or not, all books have them.
Lena-I heard about Marisol that ‘residents of Pilsen, (or Plisen, whatever it was) Chicago, thought American Girl was criticizing their neighborhood and saying it was dangerous.’
Beth-I imagine a pilgrim with hair like Lissie’s (three little curls on each side of her face) honey-brown hair, brown eyes, a little brown bonnet that could fold back on the brim and be white, a brown dress with reversible cuffs like the bonnet that was down to her shoes (Just like Lissie’s shoes, except with square buckles-not a flowerish curvy pattern) creamy wool stockings, brown velvet garters, and a petticoat. Her accessories would be a journal, an extra bonnet, a hair bow, an apron, and a small cross necklace.
A 60’s or 80’s doll? Those would extremely creep me out! I don’t really like the fashions from that time.
And about twin dolls! They probably wouldn’t sell!!! Unless hey had a different face mold, shorter hair, lighter/darker eyes, and the blah.
That’s why they shouldn’t make Ana for Rebecca. From Book 2 in Beckie’s Series, they DO look like sisters, twins! She’d have a teeny weeny collection (Poor Ivy) of like, a meet dress (that wasn’t all raggedy. Kirsten got a new dress after she came to America, and it was pretty. That was her meet dress. Of course, they made an outfit like the one she wore on the ship: the Swedish dirndl.) that was, maybe, a soft pink with a light blue pinafore. And then black socks and boots like Kit’s work boots. Her accessories would be like, a shawl, a head kerchief, and maybe a hankie? IDK. And then she probably wouldn’t have a school outfit. On the cover of “Rebecca and Ana”, she wears the same school uniform as Beckie. Maybe they’d have some deal, like, “Buy two school outfits and save $5″ or something. Ana would have maybe a work dress, a Sunday dress, a Russian book, (IDK?) and a play dress. Maybe she’d also have a washing set with a tub and handmade soap and a scrubbing board. It could come with a pamphlet on how to make your own soap. Or a trundle bed. And a nightie.
I always thought, when I was a little girl, what if Addy and Kit met eachother? Lissie and Kaya? Emily and Julie?
Plus, I remember the good old days from AG. When there were just Kaya, Felicity, Josefina, Kirsten, Addy, Samantha, Kit, and Molly-8. The friend dolls were just Nellie, Emily and Elizabeth-no Rebecca, no Julie, no Ivy, no Ruthie. It was better then (:
Well I’ve said more than enough.
~Grace(:
Woah thats the longest comment in DD history
plz read it tho it has lots of info, opinions and ideas.
~Grace
Sorry to correct you, but a pilgrim would NOT have pin curls. Pilgrims were VERY religious and simple. They didn’t celebrate the first Christmas in the US because it wasn’t the sabbath. They worked.
The ISBNs that ere found belonged to AG though.
Grace, I went on your website. It’s really cool!
And Lena, thanks for the mini math lesson!
Lena,
and it is just used for updates!
I see what you mean, maybe she’d come with a bun instead.
You’re right, Lena.
It just sounded very pretty to me. And about the ISBNs, I guess that proves it!
Michaela,
Thanks! Be sure to leave comments and sign the Guestbook please!
You can leave a fake email address if you don’t have one or are uncomfortable giving it to me.
No one but me can see it though,
From,
~Grace
Grace,I love ur idea except I don’t want any pincurls!!
Oh and remember how Emily/Molly had same outfit for the b-day?
It should’ve been called Emily/Molly’s birthday outfit.
AND in pictures Rebecca has reddish dark brown hair and Ana has blonde-brown hair or honey brown hair,so she’ll look exactly like Rebecca.
I heard that AG changed the color of Rebecca’s hair..in the very last momment or something
Really?
Well I just thought pincurls would be pretty-the picture that kept coming to my mind while I typed that was Lissie in her Gala gown. i just thought it would be pretty, tied back and little curls falling out.
Forget the curls then
What’s a “WW”?
~Grace
does any1 know any more smilies?
if so, how do you do them?
~Grace:)
oh and u r right AG&FAN Molly and Emily DO have those same bday outfits!
~Grace
I do like your idea for a pilgrim looking doll (she would have a very boring and sad story though), its just the pin curls. I do plan on making my own though (just making her story realistic).
i miss chrissa
Hi!!
Grace-the 80s fashions are pretty much waht kids wear today, so i doubt they’ll make an 80s doll anytime soon.
60s-i doubt that too, they have to stop tryi8ng to squeeze dolls into every decade of the 9000s.
So you’re in luck
Ana? I too agree that is unlikely, as Lena said, the best friend dolls are meant to give a different light on the situations, and Ana-though she actually experienced moving to America, wouldn’t give a very different light on the story.
If AG did make stories in which the historicals met each other I doubt they’d use Emily and Julie-maybe Molly and Julie, but they focus on the main historicals. Also, Addy and Kit is unlikely as there would be around an 80 year age difference.
Sorry, I’m not trying to be mean or anything
yeah, im guessing if they made twins they’d do more skin tones, hair and eyes. I’ve always wanted a red headed twin
yeah, im betting no math lover Alex, maybe it could be her best subject, but probably not a big part of the story, lol
Pilgrims-cool, but i don’t see a 6 books coming out of that.
The cancer idea is nice, but i don’t think it would sell very well. In general, People don’t want sick dolls.
i miss mia! I have so many happy memories when she was GOTY
I agree on the cancer doll, but I would still like to see a doll who’s deaf or has dyslexia, and has to deal with the issues there.
Ya Deaf or something would be cool.
thats a great idea!
Personally I want a blind doll…. just for those eyes.
K, I’m off snowboarding, bye for the next 6 hours!
It’s odd that all the GOTYs have had traditional families (mom and a dad) and no disabilities whatsoever. It’s not very realistic. I’d at least like to see a doll that was adopted and have her dealing with that in her story.
And about Sarah-What kind of hair would they give this doll? She has short (boy short) tight curls hair she’d be like the AA boy bitty twin.
What’s a WW girl?
Have an AWESOME day!
~Grace (:
So, who is Denise? I don’t know who she is yet.
I bought the book “Lanie’s Real Adventures”.
Have a good day, too Grace!
Lena, is snowboarding hard? I snowboarded once in my life.
I’m so excied! I’m going to the American Girl store in Natick in March!
a WW doll is ‘wild west’
that’s great-Ana!
Denise and Sarah are both rumored dolls, but as somebody has mentioned, they may not be their real names. I don’t think they’d make a doll with short curly hair like that bitty twin, as girls like dolls they can style with. Even Kit, who’s hair was suitable for younger children allowed a little styling to be done with her hair.
I mean, would they change Sarah’s hair if she WAS Addy’s friend? Her hair is so short and then who would buy her? Her hair is boyshort!
Thanks Ana!
And thanks too Maya-Wild West-that doll would be AWESOME.
cool site-Grace!
they probably would change her hair…
I mentioned that about the names, Maya.
I do think they should make another short haired historical doll, though. I mean, almost every doll has long hair. Not that I don’t like really long hair ( I LOVE IT), it’s just that AG needs to start doing some new hair styles.
a cowgirl would most likely have Emily-length hair, either dark brown like Lindsay or honey blonde like Nellie, and it will probably be curled at the end. It would be cool if they associated the Native American’s and perhaps the affects of the gold rush…
oh, the horses!
they would be a real winner (horses) among the younger audience especially.
ill do that Grace!
oh, red wavy hair was alos common around some parts of the US in the 1800s for cowgirls, around Nicki length-maybe a little shorter. My previous comment is awaiting moderation, so ill repeat what it said.
A common hairstyle for rodeo cowgirls in bigger cities was dark hair about shoulder length and curles at the end-sortof like Lindsay’s hair.
I hope they make another Kit-length-hair doll, but I don’t want cropped hair, I still DO want something I can style. It would be a nice change though…
I love Kit’s hair! The only thing is:
What fun would it be to style short, tight curled hair? We’re talking about boyshort! I’m sure you’ve seen drawings of Sarah. It wouldn’t even be able to hold a hairclip. No fun.
I really like Kit’s like I said. It’s STYLEABLE. That’s my point.
Have a great day!
~Grace
PS Thanks Maya! Have fun!
But about fake AGs-what do you mean by “fake”? Are they really another brand or does someone fraudulently make them look like AGs and make money?
It wouldn’t be realistic if the Sarah doll had strait hair, Grace. Most Black have naturally textured curly hair. You could probably still clip it back, tough.
hey….did u guys realize that both Kirsten and Ana are immigrants in their stories? Since they retired Kirsten, there’s a pretty big chance that they’ll release Ana….AG will find a way to make her sell (maybe a diff face mold, pretty meet outfit, longer/shorter hair than rebecca’s)….. but they can’t make her look too much like Ruthie!
If I were in charge of making up a new historical character, her name would be Jennifer. She would be a girl from 1984. Her parents have recently told her that they are moving to France for financial reasons, and Jennifer does not like that. After a long boat ride, she and her family arrive in France. At first, Jennifer despises every French person she meets, but after several weeks, she begins to realize that even though the French are different than Americans, they are still great people to be around.
Jennifer’s hair color is black. She has green eyes ( the soft green, not Felicity’s electric green). She has lots of freckles. Her meet outfit is denim jeans, a white tee shirt with the French flag on it, and beaded sandals. Her hair arrives in a long braid down to her waist.
If Molly has to be archived in the future, this is the girl AG should make, in my opinion.:)
Ava-I didn’t say not curly. Just long enough to put in a little ponytail.
Have a great day!
~Grace
PS if you don’t like me saying “Have a great Day” don’t hesitate to say so.
Helloooooooooooo?
Im having grilled cheese 4 supper
Maybe this comment doesnt need a “Have a great day”
~Grace :p
oh ok no ones on i’ll just edit my site
Have a great night!
~Grace
I like how they are put nicely on the shelves
Michaela- why would a historical doll (from the 1800’s) be wearing blue jeans? I know it’s just ur imagination but i doubt that they even had denim in the 1800’s….
whoops…i thought ur comment said 1894 lol sorry….but in the 1940’s it was hardly allowed for girls to wear pants in public places….my mom was born in the 1950’s, and she said no one wore pants to school…
** 1980’s, not 1940’s. sorry….my mind is shutting down cuz im tired. lol gnite
Actually there were jeans in the 1800’s, but they were worn by miners and farmers. In the city it was a fashion faux pas.
Would it make sense if there was a native GOTY?
i doubt a historical in the 1800s would wear pants-let alone jeans
i want a historical with black curly hair and pale skin and blue eyes-like a few people have said before, except with freckles! And hair that’s darker then Chrissa’s and paler skin, and a different face mold-maybe Rebecca’s face mold or something.
and a deep purple dress or someting emerald green.
she could be french, but doesn’t have to be….it would be cool to have a doll who has lived in the city her whole life and goes to the countryside or something…
all of a sudden blonde JLY dolls are really really popular
then the red heads-maybe we’ll get another red headed historical, maybe the ww girl!
yes, they are!
in my mind the ideal historical would look sortof like the JLY with dark curly hair, the green eyes and pale skin. And if we get a ww girl i hope it looks like the doll with curly red hair and blue eyes. if we get an aa girl i hope she has ’sonali waves’ and dark eyes. Maybe Ruthie-length hair. But I think an AA doll with the original face mold would be dazzling.
there’s a JLY like that, with straight dark brown hair and brown eyes-beautiful
i kind of hope we don’t get a blonde historical-there are so many blonde historicals and a blond GOTY and tons of blond JLY dolls…
Chrissa and Rebecca had the same mold, the Josefina mold.
The blondes are not the most popular, they are just put in that order, the blonde, the redheads, and the brunettes.
ag rly needs mor black haired dolls…only josefina, kaya, and some jlys have black hair. black curls would be a new thing, and id love it
Some of the JLY have back curls, but I agree. No white historicals have truly black hair.
sorry, my mistake
it was different before-that’s why i made the mistake (the order of JLY dolls).
The medium skinned, brown haired, brown eyed doll was the most popular, followed by some blondes, the curly-haired red head and then some AA. at the end were auburn haired dolls.
another hispanic historical doll would be nice
I’d like a ’50’s refugee from Cuba. If AG makes a different 50’s girl, I’m still gonna change the story to fit my needs.
A white historical with long straight black hair and bright blue eyes would be stunning.
i didn’t like the way chrissa’s skin was tan, it didn’t compliment her eyes and her hair didn’t work with the eyes either. If we had that face, lighter skin, darker hair, curly, and Sonali-length hair. Maybe the eyes could be less soft-blue, or more electric. Not as bright as felicity’s-like Nellies. If they’re the same, im sorry, they look different
and i know felicity’s eyes are green-im saying that electric blue eyes wouldn’t work
Nellie & Kit have darker blue eyes, you are right. But Chrissa had the light skin tone.
I’m off back to FL. Bye for now!
WE NEED SOME KIND OF DOLL WITH DISABILITIES! She would be great because everyone would probably love her and she’d sell well.
yes everyone would like her! I want a blind doll!
this might be kinda random, but i didnt like chrissa so much. she just looked so…plain…. i liked her collection and story but idk…she looked kinda cute in person but i didnt like the blue eyes….she wouldve been better with green eyes.
I like Chrissa’s dress.
I would like more blond AG dolls. The only blond AG doll I can remember is Lanie.
I like Chrissa’s dress too.
There are a lot of blonde dolls, Ana- Kirsten, Kit, Elizabeth, Kailey, Lanie, and all those JLYs. AG should make more Latina and Black dolls, if you ask me.
hey guys!!!!!! i havent been on in a while cuz of school ugh more papers!!!!!!!
i cant wait to get gwen and lanie…. im like soooooooo excited that gwen still here…… this is random but ill be in D.C. (like 3rd time lol) when it is my b-day…pretty cool!!!!
i liked chrissas shoes. her dress looked cute…
Well, I made a mistake!
Congrats Sarah!
That’s great Sarah!
I wonder if Molly and Emily are retiring next.
Well, I’m going to Connecticut for three days in July.
thanks ana!!!!!!
thanks aqua!!!!!!!
would the still have gwen( like in the back sorage room thingy at the ag store in chicago )or any where but mostly chicago since im going there……. does anybody know…..thanks!

i love these pics they are gorgeos!!!!!
ana- when are u going?
ugh never mind you said u where going in july sorry……i dont know why i did not see that lol
i think molly and emily are…..i hope they dont retire lissie and lizzie…i luv them
ps there nicknames are kina the same lol
hehe….my friends lil siss won Rebecca in a raffle! they went to a tea in a jewish community center (my friends not jewish, she just went to the meet the author thing and the tea there)…i think its soo cool that she won rebecca!
Your friend’s sister is so lucky, Alex! She must have been really grateful.
Sarah, Lissie and Lizzie probably are going to retire because theyre putting new dolls and they think they need more room, (they dont) Just dont get your hopes up on them not retiring.
Beth, your wrong about them needing more room. Maybe not in the stores, but in the werehouses. Doll stuff takes up space, and 500 doll beds is about 430000 square feet of space.
Guys-wish me luck-the Sonali auction ends tonight!
they dooooooooooo need the room. They need a LOT of room. and if they do release the french girl, Sarah and Denise at the same time, i really don’t see how that’ll work. I think they should tell people if they’re going to retire a doll at the beginning of the year, not during the last three months.
I know somebody who thinks Lissie and Lizzie will be retired at the same time as Molly and Emily-does anybody think that’s likely??? I hope not, im saving up for both Lissie and Emily
Another question: who here has Elizabeth, and if you do, is she prettier then in the pics?
good luck Grace!
sorry lena, it looked tan
I don’t have Lizzie, but I’ve seen other people’s pics and she really is gorgeous.
They wait until the last 3 months on purpose. There’s a madder rush to get Archived girl, which means more money for Mattel.
another question: does anybody remember what month Rebecca was released?
Rebecca was released June 1.
oh, i guess that would make sense
i’ll have to be patient while I wait for the new historicals-im not good at that….
elizabeth is sooo pretty in person
so about when did people find pics of her?
(rebecca i mean)
We found her books (& summaries) around this time last year (early Feb?), and the first official pic some time in April, I think.
Maya-I have Elizabeth-She’s GORGEOUS and looks great in “modern” outfits too.
and thanks! I sure hope I win her.
Have a great day!
~Grace
Does anyone know how to do the green smiley?
~Grace
: mrgreen :
No spaces:
OK here goes
YAY!
Any really impressive, moving ones?
Thanks Lena!!
Who do you guys like the most? These are completely random LOL!
JULIE or NELLIE.
I like–hmmm, I liked Julie’s books more, and Nellie, I like her outfits more. IDK. What about u guys?
Who do you guys like more-Nellie or Josefina-
~AND~
Choose: Kirsten or Ivy?
I like Kirsten and Nellie more.
wait woops choose from Nellie or Fina
and Kirsten and Ivy
not Nellie and Julie
I like Fina better. Nellie’s story was good, but I hated all the frilly clothes AG gave her. Fina’s story was touching and her clothes are more down to earth.
Kirsten. Her story was better and she has real clothes. On looks alone, Ivy.
i like potatoes lol…haha jk! idk they are all soooo pretty!
I like Nellie and Kirsten better.
:mrgreen;
Oops i messed up the first time
:0
It worked!
maya- elizabeth(lizzie)is sooooooo pretty than in pics….lots of hair to style with!!!
i was her in a ag fashion show for 3yrs
cool.
i like kirsten and nellie too. I liked Nellie’s meet outfit, and i thought Kirsten’s stories were great. I didn’t like Ivy very much when I saw her, i dunno why. Josefina’s pretty, and her outfits are great, but her stories didn’t really move me.
i don’t know whether to get Lizzie or Lissie, any help??? They’re both soooooooooooooo pretty
okay, that’s good to know, thanks Lena
*sigh*, nobody’s on when i am…
oh well, thanks for the Lizzie advice everybody
why, grace? (about the nellie-josefina questions)
thats cool, Sarah!
x-(
B-)
those are the only ones i know
Sarah, sorry I’m answering now, (I just saw your question) I’m going to Connecticut during Summer Vacation, for 3 days.
I already said that. Opps.
Sorry, sometimes I only read 1 coment
Chrissa is soooooooooo cute!!!! I have Chrissa,Samantha,and Gwen.
I spelled comment wrong.
That’s cool Jasmin.
I don’t know. They just seem more interesting to me.
What seem more interesting to you, Grace?
Maya-Just wondering. Very random
Ana-I haven’t read Ivy’s story. I loved Julie’s though, so it sounds good.
I liked Nellie because her dresses are sooooooo pretty, and I love her dark blue eyes and cute freckles
And Josefina, the doll is BEAUTIFUL, but I haven’t read her stories and I might later, but at the moment I like Kirsten more because-
I have her, and her stories were so wonderful. I also LOVE pioneers. I also think she’s pretty, and I know how she feels sometimes.
Have a great day!
~Grace
Hey anyone on.
Question~ What is everyone’s fave AG Mystery? Mine are Samantha’s (I can’t pick just one out of all of them!!!)
Oh, ok. I am going 2 bed soon. goodnight. B)
Sara-I’ve only read 1, “The Stolen Sapphire: A Samantha Mystery”, and it was pretty good. I want to read “Lady Margaret’s Ghost: A Felicity Mystery” and “Puzzle of the Paper Daughter: A Julie Mystery”.
i read the stolen sapphire one…it was really good! i feel like i read another but i can’t remember what…
I like the old History Mysteries best. They are AG mysteries, too.
I like The Stolen Sapphire and all of the Molly mysteries.
And I do like Kirsten’s story-they’re my favorite series of book from AG-it’s so fun and exciting to read. Plus I love the illustrations.
What are the History Mysteries, Lena?
I’ve read The Stolen Sapphire, Danger at the zoo, and whatever Addy’s mystery was. (To lazy search for it, haha)
I’ve read too many mysteries to mention!
History Mysteries were published by AG 2000-2004(?), and were about girls solving mysteries in different times & places. Each was about a different character, and 22 were published. Off the top of my head:
Watcher in the Piney Woods
Shadows in the Glasshouse
The Smuggler’s Treasure
Mystery on Skull Island
The Night Flyers
Danger at the Wild West Show
Gangsters at the Grand Atlantic
Mystery of the Dark Tower
Trouble at Fort La Pointe
Betrayal at Cross Creek
Enemy in the Fort
The Minstrel’s Melody
The books are being re-released as “Mysteries Through Time”
I made a nice long reply to you Ava, its just awaiting moderation.
I’ve never read the mystery books but I love Nancy Drew books!
ive read the kit one (i dunno how many there are, i read the new one), samantha’s and molly’s (all of them)
i like the illustrations in Josefina’s book-they are gorgeous. So were Samantha’s. I don’t like Rebecca’s, Kaya’s, Addy’s and Molly’s, the rest were okay. I don’t like the new cover for Molly’s book.
I also read a Felicity mystery i think.
I think, in general, I liked tghe old covers for the historical’s books. It was the same idea for all of them, which was cool, ’cause you could see their differences. Also, I liked Felicity’s old meet outfit better.
nobody’s on???
I liked the old meet outfit better too. The new one is not Lissie’s best color, IMO.
High five Ashleigh. Nancy Drew FTW!
i like nancy drew’s old books better then the new ones to be honest
i didn’t like the material on lissie’s new dress either. Elizabeth’s is gorgeous, it looks like a lot more work was put into it.
I like them both equally.
I actually hate Elizabeth’s dress. Its hot pink, a color that would not acuratly be worn in the colonies, and its very thin. Historically, it would be three pieces, white AG made it be one.
i love Nellie-she was sooooooooooooooooooooooo pretty! She and Samantha were gorgeous. Josefina’s extreamly beautiful too, but like i said, kirsten had more of a story, and she was pretty too.
is felicity’s holiday gown accurate?
but when i dress my dolls in elizabeth’s dress, i don’t mind if it isn’t accurate or not
i hope we get an immagrant from Asia in the future, like a Philipeno doll or something.
Lissie’s holiday dress isn’t accurate in that it has a gown, petticoat, and stomacher, but its more accurate than Lizzie’s.
I did like Nellie and loved her story, but the dolls clothes anoyed me. She historically would not have worn that until after she was taken by Sam’s family. I would have liked better if they made at least one work dress for her.
I would love an immigrant Asian girl. I don’t care where she’s from, I just want asian historical clothes
thats ok ana!!!
Grace-did u get sonali? so you are bidding her on ebay is that right?
i really hope you win her if that is wut you are doing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
she is the best doll they have ever made i think (and nicki and lissie(elizabeth))lol
oops i meant lizzie not lissie(lissie is felicity am i right)
thanks maya!!!!!!
i hope you guys know wut i mean when i say thanks etc. to your comments if not please tell me!!!!!!
yep, i know
yeah, i was surprised when i saw her meet outfit, and she should have had some dresses like she wore in the movie…maybe they’ll release a dress like that in her future. I didn’t like her holiday dress and spring dress or whatever it was called. To frilly.
i think a korean girl would be cool, oen of my closest friends in Korean and some of their national clothes are GORGEOUS. They won best dressed at international day at my school.
Korean hanboks are gorgeous. If they do make a Korean of Asian girl, I want her to have the 4 mold, 25’s hair, and Sam’s eyes. I’ll be happy then
what is the 4 mold?
The Asian AGT with bangs has a different mold than the other asian girls.
oh, thats interesting. Is that Jess’s (and Ivy’s) mold, or is that different?
No, its exclusive to 4. Jess, Ivy, and the other JLY have the Jess mold.
A korean girl with pretty long hair (like Julie’s) and dark eyes would be beautiful
thats interesting, im looking it up
heres a question, its pretty ridiculous, but, how are the JLYs numbered?
i mean, i know which one ur talking about, but how do you number the JLY is general, where does it give their number???
The first 20 were numbered by AG, then the next few that came out were numbered by the order they came out in. The 20 that were released last fall were again numbered by AG.
AG stopped using the numbers, but collectors still use them. AGPlaythings has a guide to all the JLY ever made.
that explains it then, i remember numbers, but couldn’t find them. Oh well
im gonna try this:
x(
awww, too bad
im building my collection:
any more?
why is nobody on??????????????????????????????????????
*sigh* well i gotta go anyway
bye!
Maya-dont feel bad i was wondering the same thing and i thought it was a ridiculius question too lol
thanks Sarah
‘night, its 8 over here and im exausted
i’m searching for everything i can on the new historicals
Yay! I won Kailey on ebay!
Congrats Kelly!!!
haha kelly when u get her send some pix 2 char! id love to see her!
Sarah-no I didnt bid we didnt bother ): but my dad said maybe soon we’ll buy her from AG
That’s cool Kelly!
Did u know that there was another Husky b4 Pepper?
Yes, pulling the sled. I still have the catalog when he was new.
Marisol’s tap outfit looks alot like the current JLY tap outfit.
Every1, what’s the oldest AG catalog and/or AG magazine that u guys have? I have Nov. 08. LOL. I was like, 7, when I got my 1st catalog, so I was irresponsible and they got ruined or missing after a few months. I also got the Supersize Summer and Fall AG mag issues, they got ruined too.
Jess was new when I got my 1st catalog. A year later I remember seeing the GOTY 07 on the cover, and I was like, “Hey oh yeah, the new GOTY!” I also forgot about the GOTY for 2010 until I saw it on DD. LOL.
I have a mag from december 2006. Its a little torn up.
I saved up for Chrissa’s pretty pink paty table but it was gone before I could order it! Where can I get it now?
eBay is going to be your best bet for getting any of the retired Chrissa items
1999 is the oldest cataloge I have. It’s a little torn up, but otherwise in good condition.
I agree with Char, eBay’s best bet for retired stuff.
omg everytime i post something it gets deleted >:(
*Sigh* I never have time to go on anymore.
My oldest cataloge I have is August 08, I think. I’ve collected AGs longer than that, but I didn’t care about keeping the old cataloges when I was a kid.
my favorite catologue was the giant winter 08 one. The oldest is October 07.
hm if they do make a korean girl I can see her as coming out as goty.
my first catalogue was the one I got when I got my jly. I think it was march/april one with camping stuff and chrissa on the front
and my first mag is march/april issue 2009
AND this is random,but first AG book I read is meet kit then i read kit learns a lesson. I think I read all of the AG historical books(except mysteries and extras) in one and a half year-it’s that good!(Well to me it’s book first,doll second bcuz I like to know the characters better)
and chrissa’s party table is still avilable on ag site. it’s a best place to get chrissa’s “leftover” stuff but you can’t get swimsuit,chrissa doll&book,chrissa’s IM-me for girls,chrissa’s starter collection,chrissa&sonali,chrissa&gwen.
oops…I made a mistake on comment above-I should’ve said that books are so good that I will read them fast(and also because it’s not thick)
And do we have any reason that you can’t delete/change your comment in DD?
I can see the reasons,but I’m not sure(but I’m ok with that)
my aunt has tons of catologues though, some from when she was a kid apparently.
i also liked the 2009 catologue with Chrissa’s face on the cover and a pink background, maybe thats the same one AG&FAN is talking about
if they make a korean goty, i think it will be very far into the future. Jess was partly Japanese, and i think a lot of people would be upset if they released a second part asian doll before an AA doll
:I
awww, that one doesn’t work
that’s great Kelly! She’s a gorgeous doll
Oh,my first catalogue didn’t have chrissa on the front. I think it had a girl with doll together on the front. I’m not sure. I don’t have any AG catalogue now.
And it’ll be cool if they make an AA girl,I hope it tells ALL about AA culture(hmm maybe not)…well possibilities are ENDLESS(I mean girl of the yr)
i have a stack of catologues at the back of my closet, and i only look at some of the morei nteresting ones. Half the time they use the same sets and same layouts for the catologues, so I only read them every other month.
can u get lanie with her accessories, i couldn’t find that on the website…
usually in a collection there will be the meet outfit, two extra outfits, their pajamas and then one more outfit you don’t get in their starter. But for Lanie, you only have the butterfly outfit, the gardening outfit, her meet outfit and her PJs so far…then again, she has a lot of t-shirts
why didn’t chrissa have accessories???
anybody on???????
maya-to be honest ive got know idea
i might in a ittle bit but right now idk
maya- i dont think you can get lanie with her accories….. they might do a special on it you never know
sorry if i spelled some words wrong or my sent. dont make sense ive been tired lately lol
Notice with the last meet the JLY didn’t have accessories either.
true…
i got rebecca on may american girl quiz. My two little brothers wanted to do it, one got Julie and the other Samantha
lol
by the way, which dolls do you have, Lena?
AGs, or all of my 18inchers?
Kit Kittredge
Kirsten Larson
Samantha Parkington
Sonali Mathews (soon to be sold)
Chrissa Maxwell (soon to be sold)
Helena Maria no last name… yet. (FKA Rebecca)
Alexandra Aspen Winchester (Madame Alexander, in process of rewigging)
Laylie Colbert (LOF)
Elise Dinsmore (LOF)
Wan Ling (Karito Kid)
Lulu Kibwana (KK)
Pita Corta (KK)
Unnamed Disney girl who’s gonna get a new wig.
Those are all the dolls I play with, not counting my childhood dolls or polish display dolls.
wow! what a cool collection!
just out of curiosity, why are you selling Sonali and Chrissa???
i have ‘rebecca’ too!
i think they’re gonna release a new coconut play outfit, as they retired the last one…but i doubt they’ll release a licorice play outfit as she/he’s been retired. I’m hoping for a sugar play outfit-or a pepper play outfit, or something, they were pretty neat.
I only got them to sell them in the first place. I don’t really like Chrissa, and while I do like Sonali, I’ve decided she’s not for me.
Hello!
Chrissa did not have acsessories because of her movie. You can not get Lanie with the acsessories. I don’t really know why they did that. They will not make a Honey play outfit because the made PJ’s based of of Honey. They might make cloths based of the other pets, though. Yes, you can still get some of Chrissas things online. I think that they might make another outfit for Lanie later in the year. In book 2, Lanies Real Adventures, one of the pictures shows Lanie in a outfit that you might ware on a hike. Its really cute. All of her other cloths in pictures in the book are ones that she already has. Also, will they make a flower set for Lanie? If not, I will get my Lanie the JLY flower set. I’m also thinking about geting all the camping things for Lanie. Last, I think that Lanie is the best GOTY yet. She has really made me want to help the Earth more. Now I want to be a Botanist when I grow up. A botanist is somebody who studies plants. I think that girls can relate more with Lanie then Chrissa.
I think girls can relate to Chrissa more than Lanie, because I think lots of girls get bullied.
Yes, but Lanie tells them to put down their video games and go outside. If the trend that was started with Kailey continues, Lanie should get something in the summer or fall release.
I’m going to Disney World in April!
I can’t wait!
I’m going to start using my first name, Ingrid, to avoid being mixed up with Grace.
Hello!
Michaela, you’re lucky that you get to go on vacations often! The last time my family went on vacation was in July 2009, but that was our first vacation since 2006!
OK Gracie! Thx! Hi, Bye. Goin’ 2 bed now.
Good Night!
~Grace
PS Gracie I like ur real name!
Haha, I’m going to Disney on Sunday…. to work. Disney’s unfortunatly lost its magic for me. Except Epcot. I love that place.
Actually a lot more girls can probably relate to chrissa, because of the whole bulling thing, a lot of girls get bullied and then a lot of girls are the bullies but then theres a lot of girls who arent bullies or bullied too.
I love epcot!
Do you work in the Magic Kingdom still, Lena? Maybe I’ll see you there!
Yes, I still work in Magic Kingdom.
Ingrid-that’s so pretty!
Usually they release an item of clothing that appeared in one of the books, and hasn’t been released. I don’t actually remember the snow outfit thing in Chrissa’s books, but I read them last year and don’t exactally remember the illustrations or anything. Mia’s silver skate dress was on the cover of her second book-and only got released in October i think. I cant wait for the new spring outfits. Last year’s summer releases were really good, i think, so i’m excited for this year.
i think people can relate to Chrissa more, because, in some way or another, everybody has been bullied at one point, or will be. Lanie’s story isn’t one that many people could actually relate to, but I think it’s one that more people will learn from. The ’stop bullying issue’ is a good one, but for me atleast it was very cliche. For younger kids though, it was good.
Lena-Will you get Lanie after you sell Chrissa and Sonali??? (Just wondering)
Here’s a random fact: of all the girl’s of the year so far, Mia, Jess and Lindsay are the only ones who don’t get a red underline when you type their names
Epcot’s sooooooo cool!!!!!
Kailey got a towel.
Marisol got a ballet outfit that was mentioned in the book, but not Marisol’s.
Jess got her scooter, mentioned in the book, but not hers.
Nicki got her ski set, which was pictured in the books.
Mia got her silver dress, on the cover of her second books.
Chrissa got the snow set, not in any books. It was a random outfit they decided to give her.
Maya, that’s what I was saying. Lanie you can learn from, but Chrissa you can better relate to.
Yes, I likely will.
You mean the spelling line with the names? Yeah, I noticed.
i think (this is my new theory) that they sold the accessories seperately for a few reasons:
They have starter collections and whole world collections for the Girls of the Year because many people think “what a great buy! worth the money! Plus i save xxxxx dollars!” and many people buy the collection, which means Mattel earns more money then if it were all seperate and not many people bought it. Yet, Lanie’s accessories were going to be a big hit-Mattel knew it, and also knew that people would buy the accessories even if they didn’t have the doll (maybe they stiched ‘Lanie’ onto the tote so people would HAVE to buy the doll too??) so to earn more money they’d just sell the accessories and doll seperately, even if they only earned 5 (??) dollars more then what they would have if they were sold together…
i think….
oh, sorry Lena!
me 2 i think girls can relate more to chrissa and learn more but the could still learn how to garden (kind of) in lanie’s books
but i still think chrissa is better than lanie
Why are you apologizing to me? I just stated facts.
I like Lanie better. Chrissa was kinda blah to me.
why do you think that? Sarah? (im not disagreeing, just wanted to know)
i didn’t like the doll Chrissa, she was kind of plain in my opinion. But I did in the beginning, so i could understand if anybody else did.
lol, i’m an apoloqetic person
i liked Chrissa’s collection
Lanie and Chrissa had NO Whole World Collection!
Lindsey
Kailey
Marisol
Jess
Nicki
Mia
Chrissa
Gwen
Sonali
Lanie
For me, Chrissa and Sonali are the only ones with the red line.
Well, its not time yet for Lanie to get a whole world. They are released with the second set of accessories & clothes.
Yay, I have no school today.
I prefer Lanie to Chrissa. Chrissa’s collection was a little too…pink. However, it did include my beautiful Sonali! I like Lanie’s collection because of all the cute animals.
Why didn’t Chrissa get a whole world?
And Lena, my friend went to Disney and got a Disney Doll. Its 18 inches, have you heard of them?
Chrissa was kind of girly. Lanie’s not.
Here are what I saw as the GOTY’s main color schemes.
Lindsey-Lime green, navy blue, red
Kailey-Light blue, dark purple
Marisol-Dark purple, pink, brown
Jess-Orange, yellow, hot pink, red
Nicki-White, bright blue, dusty brown
Mia-Silver, blue, magenta
Chrissa-Pink, lime green, purple
Lanie-Blue, green, orange
Just my opinion, y’all.
cool list grace!
i like nicki’s colors the best i think
i heard the whole world collections didn’t sell well, but i dono’t know if that’s why they didn’t make one for Chrissa. They didn’t sell well because by that point in the year a lot of people already had the GOTY, some of their clothes and accessories, and didn’t need to rebuy them. I think it’s a bad time of year to release a whole world collection, personally
IMO, Nicki was more pastel colored.
Yes, I know them. I also know that the quality is horrible, the vinyl is very soft, the hair is a cheep rooted plastic, and they sell for $40. I can get an OG with the same quality for $20.
Mine’s from a couple years back when the dolls were $20, and the quality’s a bit better, but I need to rewig her. The hair is horrible on Disney dolls.
yeah, i agree Grace. Me and ‘Chrissa’ weren’t the same AT ALL. Me and Lanie are more or less the same, except for appearance, i don’t have curles or blonde hair or hazel eyes, my brother does though
Chrissa’s whole world would be too expensive. The three dolls alone would be $300, add Chrissa’s 5 outfits, all her accessories & furniture, and it would end up somewhere close to $700.
I have Chrissa’s hair (kind of) & face, Lanie’s eyes. But I relate more to Lanie than to Chrissa, mostly because I was never bullied.
So, how is everyone?
i have nicki’s hair but more a little straighter and molly’s eyes, and freckles…
so there hasn’t been a look alike for me yet…i guess i have rebecca/chrissa/josefina’s face
i relate to Mia and Rebecca the most
The Josefina mold. They all have the Josefina mold. In truth, Rebecca is my mini me.
which is why i got them
sorry, my computer loads really slowly, so my comments always appear a long time after i post them and by that time other people have posted so my comments look out of place
i have a question regarding rebecca
is her hair supposed to be shorter in the back?
Mine has shorter hair in back too. I think its meant to be that way.
i just curled annalee’s (#25’s) hair it loox SOOOOOO CUTE!!!!!!!!!!! OMG ITS ADORABLE! i used the curlers in the hair care kit….i left them in overnight and while i was at school! soooo cute
Yes, I think Rebecca has shorter hair in the back of her head.
I won’t be on tomorrow. Please DON’T ask why. Please.
I look like the JLY with caramel hair. She’s my Mini Me. They FINALLY made a JLY for me. When I was little, I looked like the one with short blond hair, light skin, blue eyes and bangs. And I love GT 4!
I don’t mean the 2 other dolls for Chrissa’s world. I guess the “Chrissa and Sonali/Gwen friend collections” replaced her whole world.
C U Ingrid.
k, bye Ingrid (though ur probably already gone)
the caramel haired one is sortof like me, except my hairs a little wavier and i have grey eyes-so, maybe not like me lol
when i was younger my hair was blonder, and the one wiht long wavy hair, brown eyes and freckles looked like me ‘cept my eyes were dark blue back then
not many people are on anymore…
which dolls do you have Grace?
Hey Maya,
I have Kirsten and Elizabeth and might get Sonali for my Birthday. Then I want to save up for the JLY with caramel hair.
Have a great day and thanks for asking!
~Grace
LOL Maya. Don’t feel bad that no ones on. Some people are probably just sleeping-where you live, it may be afternoon. Where someone else lives, it could be 2 in the morning. A lot of peeps don’t use the comp at the early AM-2-3 AM. LOL. Not trying to sound snotty!
But I’m on!
The last time I was on a real vacation (to a diff state) was July 2004. I also go up north to my grandparents’ and the most recent visit there was August 09.
So yeah. I don’t vacation much. ):
Hey everyone!! Wow. I haven’t been on for awhile have I? Well, in case you were wondering, the dolls I have are:
1. Kit Kittredge
2. Nellie O’Malley
3. Samantha Parkington
4. Marisol Luna
5. Elizabeth Cole
6. Jess McConnell (did I spell that correctly?)
7. Molly McIntire
8. Emily Bennett
9. Felicity Merriman
10. Julie Albright
11. Ivy Ling
12. Mia St.Clair
13. Ruthie Smithens
14. Sarah (JLY #16)
15. K’Shawnna (JLY # 31)
16. Chrissa Maxwell
17. Gwen Thompson
18. Sonali Matthews
And soon~ either JLY # 24 or #29
And, has anyone heard of the band called Sibling Harmony? It’s Christian band, the music is fantastic!! Click my name and watch one of their music videos. (Is it ok that I post this?)
Hi?
Is any1 here?
): WHERE IS EVERY1?
im on
wow, im tired
lol, yeah, ur probably right grace
its actually really ahead where i am-7,9 hour difference i think, i cant be bothered to check right now and the computer is still in a new york time zone…
I’m on.
wow, that’s a great collection Sara!
18 dolls-wow!
i’ve saved enough for Lanie, Emily and Lissie or Lizzie, any idea which one i should get??? (between lissie and lizzie)
I like Lissie better. Her meet outfit I don’t like, but you can get the old one for pretty cheap on ebay.
Get Lizzie. She is BEAUTIFUL and looks great in very style (except 2 braids show her wig cap). She has an awesome book and a great meet dress. Just DON’T bursh out her pincurls and don’t let them get caught in her earrings.
And because she’s a BFF, you can get her whole collection easier.
It consists of:
1.Accessories
2.Tea Lesson Gown
3.Holiday Gown
4.Cloak
5.Trading Cards
6.Bed
7.Colonial night accessories
8.Riding outfit
9. Fashion doll
She has awesome dresses and they have so pretty colors!
I never like Lizzie for that very reason. Her wordrobe is way too pastel for a colonial girl (I do care about the accuracy of my dolls).
Well, who is Lissie? I think Lizzie is Elizabeth, right?
Lissie if Felicity’s canon nickname. Lizzie is a collector made name for Elizabeth.
Her holiday dress is less pastel.
Lena, I highlym respect your opinion but I LOVE Lizzie’s clothes. I just would like a plain old dress. All of her outfits had a purpose: Riding, Sleeping, Tea, and Dancing. She needs a good plain dark green work dress-it’s not like she has millions of servants to do everything for her.
I read somewhere that Lissie has more fall colors and Lizzy has more spring colors. It’s true-compare the 2 riding outfits.
i don’t like Lissie’s eyes, but her hair is a great color. Elizabeth’s pretty, but i’ve always thought her eyes were a little dull, not very deep blue, nor a very bright blue…
both have pros and cons and im stuck!!!!!
I’m not saying Lizzie’s collection is bad, just the colors are off. I’d like them a bit darker, or different altogether. The style is ok.
I agree on the work dress, and I did notice the color thing.
i didn’t like Lissie’s riding outfit, it felt cheap to me. i adore both of their holiday gowns! I didn’t like Lizzie’s riding outfit very much either-come to think of it…
but one outfit doesn’t matter too much
Guys-Which JLY is prettier-The layered blonde haired one, or the caramel haired one?
PLUS-I remember seeing in an old catalog that the layered blonde was the only one with earrings, That’s weird. And I like the “I like your Stye” JLY meet dress best.
If any of you live in Wisconsin (or would go there) go to the AG Outlet in Oshkosh. They have TONS of retired, first-quality things. I found, like, 10 of Lissie’s Rose Garden Dress. I didn’t buy it, but it was there!!!
i really like felicity’s Gala Gown, i dunno how accurate it is though, i didn’t think it was…but…
That’s because originally only 27 was available with earing, but she came with them weather you wanted her to or not.
Hello! I haven’t posted in awhile.
)
(I STILL haven’t gotten Julie, for all I know, My dad with have Christmas with me in JUNE!)
Anyways, Lanie is ADORABLE, and she fits in great with my other girlies.
I’m going to watch a great movie, (Posidon ’spelling?) About a 150 foot rogue wave that encounters a cruise ship. (I recommend it!
Got to go! BYE!
caramel haired one-Grace, she’s very unique in my opinion
Lissie’s gala gown was accurate, but not for her. It was accurate for a much higher class, Lissie was only middle class.
I know Lena.
(; I understand. I just love Lizzie, prob cuz I have her.
oh hey Julie!
long time!
sorry about Julie, Lanie sounds amazing!!!!!!! I want her soo bad!
I have to got to a dance party (literally, we’ll be doing ballet), so I have to go. Bye!
But Lena-Why, of all the JLY’s, why did they pick this one?
lizzie’s very capeable of being both modern and historical-then again, i think most dolls are…i don’t know how i’ll choose. maybe ill just not get emily or something…i dunno…
anyway, i gotta go!
bye!
Has any1 seen the link I posted?
Because that one was new then.
I have to, wish me fun!
Anyone on?
Keanna-I’m on.
Lena-Ooooooooooooh I get it.
I’m home. Because I’m sick. I feel bad cause it was my friends 18th birthday, but she was understanding. I have to bake her cookies now.
So what sounds better:
Samantha’s Jellie Buiscuits
Kit’s Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
Lissie’s Almond Tarts
Lissie’s Queen Cakes
Julie’s Almond Cookies
Molly’s Apple Sauce Cup Cakes
My Rich Man’s Shortbread
Oh sorry Lena! Get well!
The Queen Cakes! Ever since I read book 2, I have wanted to try those. Make them!
hey every1! I saved up for Chrissa’s pretty pink paty table but it was gone before I could order it! Where can I get it now?
get well, lena
i vote for the queen cakes
sorry i mean pink party table
Queen Cakes are delicious, I’ve made them before. If you can get Lissie’s cookbook, get it. It’s my favorite in terms of tasty food.
Ebay, AGRachel. Or maybe you could buy somethin’ else.
Rachel, go on AG shop and search “Chrissa”. The table is still available.
hi gracie
i know im new but i wanna talk to you guys too
btw im not an old lady
lena
thanx!
Ooooooooooooh! I want that book now (after I get doll school
)
Molly is going to be retired
caz her Christmas box and tea set are already retired
and samantha, kirsten and molly were the first 3 dolls
No one knows who’s next to be archived, but I do agree about Molly being next.
they retired Samantha in 2008, Kirsten in 2009, and Molly in 2010?
So i guess Molly and Emily will go away : (
I guess they want to get rid of the first 3 dolls to make room for new ones.
also a lot of her stuff is backorderd
ag doesnt say anything
but everybody knows nolly’s going away
Hi AGRachel,
It’s “Grace”. Not trying to be rude!!
Welcome to Doll Diaries. Here’s some things to know:
ROTFL-Rolling on the floor laughing
GT-Girl of Today
WTW-What the Watermelon
LE-Limited Edition
Easier ones:
GOTY-Girl of the Year
AG-American Girl
LOL-Laughing out Loud
JLY-Just like you
Just wanted 2 help!
Have a great night!
~Grace
lena, what dolls do you have?
No, they don’t. Only the tops of AG know. Regular employees know nothing. So there is no way collectors know. It could be Lissie.
i knew these:
GOTY-Girl of the Year
AG-American Girl
LOL-Laughing out Loud
JLY-Just like you
but thanx anyways!
lena
its just obvious even if they dont say it
i have Samantha, Kirsten and Chrissa
No, its not. Like I said, they can surprise us and archive Julie. We just never can tell.
Kit Kittredge
Kirsten Larson
Samantha Parkington
Sonali Mathews (soon to be sold)
Chrissa Maxwell (soon to be sold)
Helena Maria no last name… yet. (FKA Rebecca)
Alexandra Aspen Winchester (Madame Alexander, in process of rewigging)
Laylie Colbert (LOF)
Elise Dinsmore (LOF)
Wan Ling (Karito Kid)
Lulu Kibwana (KK)
Pita Corta (KK)
Unnamed Disney girl who’s gonna get a new wig
Helena Maria no last name… yet. (FKA Rebecca)
wats that?
i think the retirement will be like this:
1 # Samantha
# 2 Kirsten
#3 Molly
# 4 Julie
5 Felicity
#6 Josefina
hello… anyone on?
FKA? “formerly known as” in this case, I renamed Rebecca into Helena Maria because she’s a mini-me.
i think the retirement will be like this:
1 # Samantha
# 2 Kirsten
#3 Molly
# 4 Julie or Kaya
5 Felicity
#6 Josefina
Julie’s too new to be archived. Its safe to say she & Beckie are safe.
oh.. bcaz i didn’t have time to read the “comments”
Rebecca Rubin
I doubt Kaya would be archived as well. She’s less than 10 years old.
But she has so little stuff and she and Addy are not so popular
But they can archive anybody they want. But Kaya’s like 8 years old already. She was introduced in 2002
They are also of a race that is not white. and Kaya oringinally had little stuff because she woudn’t have historically had much.
julie wont retire caz shell have a musical movie in 2012. its official
I know. I’ve heard. I’m disapointed that its a musical. I likley won’t see it.
i will. btw, i still think that Kaya will retire next after Molly. I know, shes not very popular
Molly is so cute
i like emily too.
good night everyone
thnx grace!
I doubt it. Kaya may be unpopular, but she is the only NA character, and is the first American Girl. NAs would be mad if she were archived.
i dont think so
but ya
How can the NAs not be mad if the only “American” girl that represents them is archived?
does anybody know where can i get Samantha’s Real Gingerbread House Kit
does anybody know where can i get Samantha’s Real Gingerbread House Kit
i cant find it anywhere
samantha was my first doll and i dont have a lot of her stuff
Ebay. Although your better off making one your self, the real AG one tends to rot.
Sorry if I’m being mean, I just don’t like being sick.
theres not one on ebay
but if u guys have 1 for sale on craigslist id be happy to know
i dont think you will eat the gingerbread house, i think its fake
No, its real gingerbread. They warn you not to eat it, but it is real.
Julie is definately not going to be retired, i agree
first, she’s wildly popular and Mattel would loose the chance of making a lot of money out of her
second, as people have mentioned she’s gonna have a musical
third, she was released in 2008 i think, like Lena said, they aren’t going to retire new dolls like Ganz does.
I’m hoping they’ll release a new NA doll, it’s unlikely, but it would be cool to have another NA besides Kaya.
its sad about Molly, but i think that there is an equal chance of them archieveing Lissie and Lizzie next, just to catch everybody off guard. It was clever to archieve Samantha first, because she was pretty popular, then Kirsten-not as popular, but she made it clear that there’d be more archieving. Now most people think Molly will be archieved, so already a lot of people have been buying Molly merchendise and getting as much of her collection as they can. And if Lissie or Lizzie will be archieved instead…
anyway, i’ve decided to ask for Lanie for my birthday, save up for Felicity and Elizabeth and then get Emily during the holidays.
chrissa’s not on the site anymore, i typed chrissa in and got:
‘we’re sorry, the Chrissa doll collection is no longer available”
i wanted to get the warm up set, but oh well…
I agree about the NA doll. Maybe this rumored New Orleans doll will b half french half NA?
Julie was 2007.
Lissie & Lizzie will be archived together, but thank you for agreeing with me about Mattel’s randomness.
It worked with Chrissa when I did it last night.
maybe it’s just my computer
i’ll try again
yep, same problem.
I have the same problem, its just that last night it worked.
i don’t remember what time of year Mia sold out, but i thought it was a bit furthur into February…
Mia sold out in December. Her stuff sold out in early feb late jan.
oh, so i guess it was around the same time
i want lanies camper and starter collection so bad
Yea Molly might be archived next but who knows
I never liked Molly but I loved the setups they did when her movie first came out in the christmas catalogue! I like her era, just not her.
Oh and I want Lanie’s pjs they are so cute!
Lanies camper is so cute that its actually selling even though its so expensive, it’s backorderd till feb. 24th!
Oh and If I do get lanie I’ll get the jly garden set too!
Backorder doesn’t mean stuff sells. Some time it means that they didn’t make much in the first place because they weren’t sure if it would sell.
Alright, I have to get ready for work, so I’m off for today.
i didn’t like Molly at first either. I guess it was becase she was so…typical. Her story didn’t interest me and her character wasn’t very different from many other heroines.
Then i saw my friends molly and she is sooooooo beautiful!
I love her eyes, i think they’re the same as Ruthie’s.
I’m the opposite of you Ashleigh, i don’t really like her era, it was a sad time in history according to my grandparents and i didn’t really like the outfits, but both Emily and Molly are great dolls.
Molly’s eyes are the same as Ruthies. And you’re right, it was a sad time in history. Especially in Europe.
I have to go to work now, so bye!
bye Lena
Im not sure uf this will work but im going to try something (pac-man) (pac-run)
ya it didnt work
what would it’ve done Beth?
they retired the 2 in one ballet outfit
, and the jumper and boots set, and the licorice play outfit and tons more 
but, they didn’t retire the gardening outfit and the school days outfit, which were released around the same time
cool pics! the WHOLE collection.
I remember not liking Molly because her stories didn’t even MENTION Japan or the Holocaust, which ticked me off. One of my grandfathers was fighting in Japan, and the Holocaust is important to me, since I’m Jewish.
i didn’t like Molly’s story for almost the same reason. But also because it really didn’t give an idea on what life was like back then. Molly’s stories are a lot happier then it would have been in reality. I also didn’t think Emily’s story covered enough of that period in time, after all, in England it was especially dangerous.
Hi! I’m back!
So, I think Molly and Emily are retiring next.
Hey guys!!!!
How ya doin’?
If I get Sonali for my bday then I’ll save up for the caramel haired JLY.How does that sound?
Sry if I’m repeating myself, but has anyone seen the link I have? (Clickee namee))
sounds great, Grace!
its soooooooooooooo cold here! it’s snowing a little bit, but the forcast says it will snow a lllllllooooootttttttt, so im hoping for a snow day tomorrow. Normally it stops snowing in early January, but not this year…
Hi guys. Is anybody on?
they just wanna get rid of molly, then lizzie next
#1 samantha
#2 kirsten
#3 molly and emily
#4 lizzie and lissie
hi grace, molly, ana sara……….
so Chrissa is gone forever
on the AG website it says sorry, not available
hey maya, yur lucky!
where i live theres no snow now, but there was a little bit at the end of December…
the licorise outfit is sorta gwen’s
she wears it in the movie
And so is the violin case. Remember, Gwen plays the violin in the movie and wears the licorice play outfit. I’m sad that they retired Licorice. I never got her.
Molly did represent what life was like, in America. And no one knew what they did to the people in concentration camps until after the war.
:v
Sorry just trying something there!
I’m having troble with Lanies hair. It looks kind of frilly and staticky. Cane somebody give me step by step instructions on how to brush or cair for her hair, also, I don’t have a hair pick to use.
I didn’t like Chrissa. Her outfits were a little to girly for me.
If you don’t have a pick, use your fingers. They work just as well.
Spray some water onto her hair (NOT her face), and twist each strand around your finger. Hold for a few seconds, then release.
Random question. What eras would you like to see AG cover (NOT what is soon to come, or what we think is soon to come).
i would love to see the 50s. i think it would have cute clothes. i just dont like that it would be close to mollys time.
I would love to see another colonial doll thats cuter with a softer colur for eyes.
Maya the first one would have been a pac-man thing and the second would be pacman with the things chasing him
about mollly’s stories not mentioning the holocaust- im learning about it in school. America didn’t know what was going on at all in Germany. they only knew that Hitler was in power but that’s about it. so molly’s stories couldn’t be accurate if they mentioned Jews being deported and killed….plus it would be a touchy topic for the dolls’ target age (around 10 years old)
I like Emily, but she’s weird in the books
hi guys is anybody on?
I’d like to see 1850’s,because I think it was the time when California Gold Rush happened. It will be really nice if they make a covered wagon!
Or if they can’t,maybe Oregon Trail(reminds me of Kirsten in last book) story??
And I wonder why some things in AG historical characters’ stories are not realistic? For example it’s kind of hard for 3 girls to row canoe when it was really hard even for adults in bad wheather(from Samantha’s story),although it is possible.
I guess they wanted to entertain readers….??
hey ag&fan!
i guess that they wanna retire the dolls with too much stuff. Samantha had a lot of stuff, so did Kirsten. now molly and felicity have the most
coincidentally, i think there going to retire molly and lizzie
Ya, I love The oregon trail stories!
I wish that they could make like a historical Indian doll with a sari dress-( not Sonali). And the gold rush, revolutionary war..
how abuot the middle ages?
hmm. my time its not 12:00 its 3 hours earlier
I think it will be cool if they make a section where you can design the dolls/outfits,except that AG probably will not make them into the doll
I mean,we can at least have fun with it and make a look for new historicals/goty/jly!
Except the middle ages ended with the “discovery” of America. And Kirsten lives in the 1850s, but there were pioneers in the 1940-1890s.
i want a girl from the gold rush, either a girl who is one of the only people left in the town because of the gold rush, a girl who lives in an abandoned gold town or something…
50s would be cool
but i want some more 1800s dolls!
