When I heard the news that Samantha’s collection was going to be retired, I knew I needed to order Samantha and Nellie right away. Originally I had planned on giving them to my daughter for Christmas, but once she saw Chrissa and found out that Chrissa is on a swim team, she no longer seemed interested in Sam and Nellie.
I ordered them anyhow and couldn’t believe how pretty Nellie is up close! Samantha is just so classic (and looks like me when I was younger).
Christmas has come and gone, Chrissa has been ordered (even though her swim gear won’t be here anytime soon) and I just couldn’t take it anymore. I had to bring Samantha and Nellie out this evening. The dolls are mine (along with Felicity) but my daughter gets to take care of them and let them stay in her room with all the other dolls).
Miss N was so genuinely happy and appreciative to have Sam and Nellie join her dolls. She immediately started reading Nellie’s book and helped me find a space on her cabinet for them.
Check out the new photo gallery for more photos of Samantha, Nellie and other dolls from our collection and Doll Diaries readers’ collections.
And while most of Samantha and Nellie’s collection have been retired for the time being, you can still get a lot of it on the secondary market.
my felicity isnt the orginal one sorry ive been on the other post
im good sienna you?
i think im selling her with the horse so i’ll try to get 115 or 125 cause shes in great condition same with her horse which is worth like 60 dollars and she comes with her accessories
omg the chrissa movie was so good
but the sound at the end was kinda bad and stupid
Ohhh!!! I was like huh?? You’re having half of ur birthday?? lol!! Ya so my half bday is June 11th unless u split the days in half too!
Omgosh so for my half bday (the exact day) present, I get my braces off!! Well actually I get straight teeth! Thx Sienna!!

its my only way to get chrissa too so im determined! ive made six diff posters and im comparing them etc. hope come in as one of the 15th first place ppl tht get chrissa
mias beds here
I finally got my cataloge today!
Umm, actually if your half birthday is in January you were born in July, and if you were born in June then your half birthday is in Dec.
But it doesn’t really matter
LOL, thanks you guys! I only celebrate my half-brithday because my real birthday is in July, and it’s hard to reach friends for me in the summer because I travel a lot.
I watched Chrissa’s movie today, and luh-ved it!
The only things I disliked was the wardrobe (with a few exceptions) and that the actress playing Chrissa was wearing too much eyeliner.
Its weird because like the people bidding on ebay on the dolls that AREN’T even retired like Kit , well the dolls are going for about $70 with about $30 dollars for shipping and handling! The things people will do to save a few bucks, lol, just kidding
. bye, i’m gonna go post more on the other subject about the holiday dolls.
BTW, yeah I noticed that the girls in the movie were wearing wayyyy too much makeup and eyeliner, and their supposed to be in fourth grade. The girl who plays Chrissa, sammi hanraty, doesn’t she look too small to be 13? l8r!
i so want to see the movie and sarah,i dont think sammi hanratty looks too young to be 13,not to be mean,im just saying.and why would they wear eyeliner?there only in 4th grd!
lol Starr, **me confusius!!!**
Im surviving Ash, busy like a bee!!
Hey priscilla!! And Zoe, and Sarah!!
how’s it going??? I didn’t get to see the movie yet but will try 2 buy it on the 19th when I go 2 the Dallas AGB&B !!! They r wearing 2 much makeup!! (at least in the pics I saw on the site!) And I can’t believe Sammi Hanratty is 13!!! Well, actually now that I look at it she does kinda look’it!! How in the world does she pull of a 4th grader?? ( yr. old!!) IDk! lol
Oh hi Sienna!!! It’s so funny about the half bday thing… these 9 yr olds ( 11 yr olds came l8r … FYI meeting at my place : cause) came and they were saying, so when is ur half bday?? I was so surprised!! (these r homeschoolers BTW) I was like (hehe!) “how do u know about half bdays??” they said “doesn’t everyone??” Lol!!!
Lol!
yeah,i guess i think sammi looks 13 cuz im short! lol
yeah, plus the movie was shot in March so she has probably grown taller. I think the reason that I think she is short is because I am really tall for 13. Its ok, I understand, everyone has their different point of view
!
cool! but if ag wanted 2 make the girls in the movie look like real 4th grade girls,the actresses should’nt have worn lipstick.
how do u do the smileys?
nellie is adorable.
Hey priscilla!!! Here’s the smileys, u just have to put them close 2gether: : ) : (

i’m so Mad cause samantha and nellie are leaving us.
please don’t let them go.
it would break every american girl fans heart to see them go.
and mine too.
let them stay
karissa
my guess is they’re only archiving her for a year, and that they are going to start doing this. I hope when they bring her back that they bring back some of her retired stuff as well.
