Two recent visits to two different Target stores have made one thing very clear to me – the new items from Our Generation are fantastic! While I still am not a fan of their dolls (remember, that’s just MY opinion – Natalie thinks some of them are really pretty), I think their accessories and furniture are a really great value and add to your 18″ doll collections nicely.
For example:
How absolutely CUTE are these scooters? I just love that the back wheel is wider than the front one for stability. They have a fun modern design, come with a helmet, and are certainly sturdy enough for daily play. And the price tag? A very reasonable $40. Did we buy one? Nope, not last night. While it is super cute, I had to stick to my list of buying just school supplies… boo.
Madelon has also been noticing the new Our Generation items recently, too, and she also noted what I feel is an increase in the quality and play value of the items. Madelon spotted the Treat Seat complete with a place setting and I think the new purple rain boots are the cutest things ever! Madelon likes the stylish gray outfit with fabric black boots and I love the hat accessory pack with the iPod in it. These are just a few of the new things from Our Generation I noticed. I think the accessory packs and shoes are definitely my favorite.
This Our Generation outfit is one of Madelon’s favorites.
What do you think? Have you seen any of the new Our Generation items? Have any favorites?
Lena, I want the horses too. My friend has one and oh my… the horse is just beautiful!
Sharry, yep! It was annoying, too!
Lena, I want one too! I think they might be a little bit better quality then a few years ago, because I had one and it split down the middle when I put my doll on it!
Ihave the gray outfit and both scooters buth they are 20$ wherei live
I bought the boots for my American girl doll Maddie and they are very very hard to get on.
awesome! I seen those like weeks ago though…………………………….
Chloe, I LOVE your Gravatar! Did you make her to look like you?
hi char i read a post that you made i think awhile ago and you saw redhead bitty twins in a ag store?
i think i skimmed the post let me double check
nope i was wrong it said bitty baby
I realized I do have on OG item: a gray pinto horse (she’s about 5-6 yrs old). As far as how well she holds up to play, I don’t have a definite answer to that, since I was a little past the “playing” stage when I got her (I liked her colors), but she feels pretty sturdy and her hair is silky. The quality has probably improved since I got her so they’re probably even nicer now.
Abby has a pinto (cream colored horse with dark brown spots).
Positives: plastic body so its easy to clean, cheaper than AG horse, sturdy plastic and put together well, true to life look, fun accessories (we got splint boots, blanket, water canteen, boots for doll)
Negatives: stir ups are not long enough for AG doll so her feet can not go into them, mane and tail tangle VERY easily (just like OGs doll hair do)
Abbys is 2 years old. My neice got the articulated race horse this past Christmas. Its smaller than my dauhters horse so the dolls dont fit on it as well.
I noticed the horses look smaller than my daughters. My neices OG doll makes the horse look like a mini. LOL
Abby would lile a foal now. I highly recommend the OG horses.
aglover – I saw the redhead Bitty Baby.
I’m going to Target sometime this week, so I’ll check it out!
Char why does one of my other posts say waiting for moderation? They both said that yesterday and the later post was cleared but the earlier one wasnt.
Lorie Ann – sometimes the spam checking software gets confused! Sorry – your other comment has been approved.
How much did the items in the pictures cost?
Char, have you seen the Our Generation jeep yet? It’s a steel- only $35. Compared to $400, I think it’s a greal deal. It’s also pretty good quality!!!
Yes, I have. It is a pretty good value. The Sophia’s one I reviewed has more room in it – like room in the back seat for two more dolls – but the OG one has doors that open. Both are cute and good for play.
I bought the scooter for Abby 2 weeks ago. It is a Christmas gift. Really great quality! Just look it over before you buy though. My target only has 2. One was scratched up and the side wasnt snaped together well. The other, which I purchased, is in great condition. Since its a gift I cant take the helmet out of the wrap to see how it fits on an AG dolls head. The hand brakes move back amd forth which is a cute feature. And it comes with a seat belt. Abbys is the pink ans green scooter. The other was a purplely red and blue.
