UPDATED-Pictures of New American Girl Rebecca
So a bunch of people got an email today from American Girl with a teaser picture of the new historical character, Rebecca.
Basically it is their sneak peek photo that gives us just enough of a look at her face to know she is going to have light brown hair, hazel eyes and a very cool velvet hat. She will be released May 31 and all the American Girl stores will have special events in her honor.
UPDATED – Here is another photo someone got (thanks for the link Lena):
When I was at the Chicago store the employees were hush hush on the details of Rebecca, but I am sure the stores are getting ready for some rearranging to make way for her collection.
Another Update!
Of course, thank you Doll Diaries readers! Two of you sent this to me which is great, because I didn’t get one. If you see any more sneak peeks or have any doll scoop, send it to me at share@dolldiaries.com.
Firstie! She looks so much like Mia and a little like Nellie! Which is good, because based on the illustration, I thought she looked way too much like Samantha and Ruthie. I usually like PM dolls, but I might have to make an exception here!
and she is sooooo pretty!
She is SOOO adorable! I want her so bad! I love the colour of her eyes and her hat is so cool and funky!! I can’t wait till shes out! =D
4thy!!! she is so cute!!!
ahhhhhhhhhh! she’s gorgeous!!!
she is so cool
she looks adorable, in love her eyes and hair
where’d they find this pic
She’s a pretty doll, but AG is known for bad lighting and photos, so her hair may not be so light. I personally don’t like her as Rebecca.
9thie! I am getting her in october, chrissa for my b-day in november and sonali and gwen for christmas . the reason I am getting two dolls for christmas is because my mom and dad said tey would get me chrissa wen she came out in January but they never did.
Ashleigh, we got it in an email from AG.
Sorry Char, in my excitment (I was skipping. No really, I was) I forgot to forward it to you.
OMG !!! She looks kind of cute!
hehe funny, just saw this in my email!!
i just got it in my e-mail. she looks really pretty so far
I ‘m saving money to buy either Rebecca, Ivy, Josefina , or a JLY doll.
Selena, I updated my LJ with revised ch 2 and custom doll new if you want to see it.
Char, her mold is almost positivity the Josefina. Look at how her nose curves over her eyes, the original does not do that so easily, if this makes sense.
i can’t wait until she comes out..but till the end of may?? really? i can’t wait that long! lol that’s basically june
Guys!!!!!!!! KIRSTEN CAME TODAY!!!!!!!!!! shes in her retired outfit and she also came with her holiday outfit!!!! shes pleasent company and the bad news is her legs are dangly but shes beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!
Send her to the hospital for a restringing. What retired outfit is Kirsten in?
And how can you tell she’s Pleasant Company?
I was one of the people who sent it!
You’re welcome.
I heard some AG employees at the Boutique & Bistro in Natick talking about Rebecca. They don’t think that she has a best friend but the employees didn’t know about Gwen and Sonali in November, so IDK.
OMG that is awsomw
Sitara, AGPlaythings got confirmations that there is NO Ana.
cool!! she looks like she MIGHT have the face mold of Chrissa, but i could be wrong!! i might get her, but im saving up for other dolls!! i really want to see what her clothes will be like!! =)
Claire, she does have the Josefina mold. Look at how her eyes are shaped.
Thanks Lena!! HA i was right, i really want her now, her hat looks cool!! and velvety!! lol!! =) plz check out my youtube account agflower45 it is about ag dolls!! =]
From this picture, she looks a lot like Mia, which I am disappointed about. The illustration of her had brown eyes and brown hair, but this doll has hazel eyes and what appears to be reddish hair. I love the hazel eyes, but I’m not so crazy about the red hair because a) she had dark brown hair in the illustration, b) that’s how I thought she’d be for the longest time, and c)I sort of wanted her, but I already have two red-heads and three red heads out of six dolls would be way disproportional and I’m the sort of person who cares about proportions, and it is too many anyway. ! It only looks like red hair from the little bit we can see, so I may be totally wrong. I hope I am.
I don’t know why AG would make her be red-headed in doll form, but if they were worried about making her look too much like Samantha, so they gave her red hair, they shouldn’t have been! She has a different face mold, different eye color, and no bangs, so she wouldn’t have looked like Samantha even if she had brown hair. Now, she looks a little bit too much like Mia, in my opinion.
And anyway, if she had brown hair, she would look like me.
Actually, from the picture Madi sent in you couldn’t tell what her eyes looked like. And keep in mind AG has bad photography, so she could just be over lit. Her eyebrows look more like Marisol’s color than Mia’s. Actually, judging by the reflection on the hat, I’m saying she’s over lit.
Well, I’m pretty sure her eyes are a hazel/green/Mia color. I like that color (it’s practically the same color as my eyes). But now that you point it out, she could very well have light brown hair, her eye brows are darker than Mia’s. I hope she is brunette, then I’d finally have a doll that looks (sort of) like me!
she’s so pretty..i might think about saving up my money for her:D
I know, my hair’s Marisol’s color, but my eyes are brown/hazelish (plus, green contacts), *and* I’m Polish (so close to Russia!) that she’s my mini me. Not to mention if I was an AG, I’d have the Josefina mold.
Oh, and her eyes are hazel.
Hi, I’ve basically decided to get her by now, she is so pretty! But she does look like Mia and Nicki morphed together. But I don’t have Mia and I wanted to get her so now I can get a doll that looks like her. And I just found out that I won a contest and I get a prize of 100$! What a good day to win a contest!(I’m not trying to brag or anything) So, yay! I am so excited! Bye
Hi, I think she is going to have the Josefina mold and the hair is probably a little darker than Mia’s and probably shorter… We have a Just Like You Doll (Daisy) and Mia with those eyes… They are very pretty but sometimes they might look a little “washed out” comparing to dolls with darker eyes or blue eyes. I am looking forward seeing the rest of the doll and the outfit. Oh, I think I like the hat.
gorgeous! thank you sitara for sending it in!
i want her so much now! i’ve already saved up 35 for her!
oops i meant to write 35 dollars. i think her hair is marisol’s color and it looks like she has hazel/brownish eyes! luv her hat!
Seriously. Am I the only one who doesn’t like the hat?
Yes, her eyes are hazel.
She is So Pretty! I want her sooo BadlY!!!
Thanks for telling me about Ana, Lena! Although if Rebecca has hazel eyes and caramelish hair, then a future Ana in 2011 or something might have Samantha/Ivy eyes and darker hair so they won’t look too similar.
I love the ribbon on the hat, but it does look a little like something from Alice in Wonderland…(why Alice in Wonderland? IDK. It just reminded me of that.)
~Sitara
You’re welcome, Sitara!
Hey I just had an idea. You know it looks like Rebecca has the Josefina face mold, well I was looking at some of the other dolls and I think she maybe has Kaya’s face mold! Kaya’s mold has the same eye thing as Josefina’s, and since Chrissa and Julie (two newer dolls) both have Josefina’s face mold, AG might use Kaya’s mold! What do you think? Do you think it could be Kaya’s mold?? I can’t wait till we can see her! =D
Ag has bad photography???!! no way! I say pictures can be deieving, but ag takes some wonderful pics! I think she’s cute, her skin a little more olive like mine and the hat and the hairs adorable. i just checked my email and found this, i cant wait!
AG does have bad photos. Not every thing, but they do have some dab ones.
Kaya has a very round face that I’m not seeing here. I doubt it’s the Kaya mold.
OMG! I have been waiting ever since i found out about Rebecca to see at least a small part of what she will look like. Every bit of info i found out about her i just HAD to tell my little sister because its 7 days til her b-day and it would be awesome if she and i saved up money for Rebecca and got her! —-Her hat looks adorable! Plus, it took me a while to figure out her eye color. Is it grey? green? light grey blue? And her hair looks light-ish brown. Which i am happy about because my sister and i only have 1 doll out of 4 with brown hair! (1 is a redhead,1 is a blonde, 1 has black hair and then 1 has light brown hair). AHH! i cant wait!
Is it possible that she has the Sonali mold?
She could have ANY mold. I think the Sonali mold would be cool.
Bookworm, it is possible to tell by how the nose is shaped. See how it archs over her eyes?
It could be Sonali mold, but I kinda doubt it.
She looks like she has the Julie/Elizabeth mold but with olive skin, hazel eyes and curly brown hair (lighter than Samantha’s). I can tell by the eyes/eyebrows. She looks just like Elizabeth but with different coloring.
Once again, I’m certain she has the Josefina mold.
GUYS OMFG THERES A PIC OF HER AT AGPLAYTHINGS GO GO GO GO GO!!!!!!! OR GO TO MY CHANNEL AT YOUTUBE.COM/AMERICANGIRLNEWS67 THX GUYS SHES GORGEOUS HOPE U APPROVE CHAR BUT SHES GORGEOUS!!!!!!!
Sorry, Kayleigh, but that’s a photoshop someone on AGPlaythings made.
can sum1 tell me 2 things plz?
1. how do you view all that stuff like rebecca even tho its a fake pic on ag playthings?
and 2. wuts the url for craig’s list
thanks!
craigslist.org
You have to be a member of Playthings.
I VERY strongly suggest you don’t join because it is an ADULT collecting forum and AJ will just kick you out anyway.
HEY GUYS!! I GOT A PICTURE OF REBECCA< HER FULL HEAD!! I MADE A VIDEO OF IT ON MY YOUTUBE CHANNEL AGFLOWER45 CHECK IT OUT GOOOO!!!!
Clair, fake photoshop.
thanks lena!!!!!!!
lena, i believe that the rebecca pic is photoshopped, but how did u find out?
i am getting her definitely! i already have $250!
I’m a member of AGPlaythings, and I read the post where the lady showed her vision of Rebecca.
(remeber, I’m a few years older than most of you)
Hehe, me too. I have 500$ in my account (but remeber, I work hard for my money, at Disney) and I’m buying her the day she come out.
cool lena. lucky!
i already have $75 (not 2 brag) i’ve just had it… w/ $200 for FL (we’re gonna go back home -btw, used 2 live there – l8r this yr., but i wanted to go sooner too, so they said my older bro, younger bro and I have to pay for the whole thing!!) but the only prob. is i won’t be able to go to the AG B&BD for rebecca’s grand opening!! which totally stinks… but i’m still buying her!!!!!
i think she has either the sonali or josefina face mold. i really hope i can get her! she’s simply beautiful! i think i’ll ask 4 chrissa for my bday and ask 4 her 4 christmas.(but that’s not a gaurantee my parents will buy them cuz thewre kinda well,cheap. lol.)
i meant my parents not the dolls that are cheap.
I hear you Priscilla. My parent’s are really cheep and they think I’m too old for dolls. I’ve bought most of them myself. 3 were gifts when I was in the hosplital, and 1 was a gift from my uncle for no reason at all.
And that’s out of 9 dolls.
WOW! Those picture look WAY more like the illustration of Rebecca than the one above Lena, And you can tell that that picture was not photo-shoped. The box even says REBECCA on it. But Lena, in that picture doesn’t she look alot like chrissa. Weird?
omg shes so pretty!
Yeah, she does.
Lena – thanks for the tip. I added those pictures to this post.
Hey Char, if you could please delete my the post above where I linked to the Rebecca pics. I’ve put the pics on my photobucket, so that I’m not hotlinking or anything.
Once again, click Rebecca?
Lena, how old do you have to be to join AG playthings?
I’m so disappointed! Rebecca looks WAY to much like Chrissa!
You have to be at least 13, and pretty mature to be honest.
Rebecca’s coat is so pretty! I MIGHT buy her.
SHE’S ADORABLE!!! but is the COAT her entire meet outift?? then again i doubt any one can answer that… I wonder how they got the doll?????? who??
Selena, that’s a dress. It just looks like a coat. Someone on Craig’s List had her for sale, and said he had a friend who got her for him.
ooohh!! i was gonna say, that would be pretty sad if she only came w/ a coat!!! it’s a very cute DRESS though
(again) ooh!! has anyone bought her yet???? can you make a link??
I can’t see her hair that well, what style/length is it?
i checked on sand diego craigslist but its not there?!
The guy took it off of Craigslist, I can’t make it a link.
Her hair’s in a net. You can’t tell what it looks like.
Rebecca is so cute!! I really want to see her at the AG store. (Hmm, maybe I could ask them when I go to get Chrissa’s sewing table? If my dad okays it.)
I just saw a blown-up version of the drawing of Rebecca and I can definately see the greenish/hazel eyes, and personally, I liked the photo blown up better because she looks much cuter
*shrug* oh well, i’m buying her, that’s what matters!!!
YAY!! her doll picture!! OMG!!
I’m soo happy!! i want her sooooooo bad!! please check out my youtube channel, agflower45 ahhhhhhhh im sooo happy!!!
Yay she has green eyes, not many historicals do!!
sorry guys lol my bad anyways shes really pretty im gonna trade her over molly and emily…what do you guys think??? should i get her first or molly and emily…?
omg! her in dolly form! YAY!!!!!! looks like chrissa a bit but prob becuz her hair’s slicked bac. either way,GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
kayleigh,get her first!
Kaileigh, I’d get the older girls first (Molly) because you don’t know how long they’ll be around.
i so want her!!!! omg, shes ADORABLE!!!!
EMILY!!! She is the most adorable thing!!! I luv her!!!
my mom said she would get her for my b-day next month !!!!!:]
-.- why must we wait so long for this doll!! lol…i wonder if she has a friend 2 that might be coming out
If I can ever raise enough money, adorable Rebecca will be my 2nd to last doll!!
Minimittins, AG confirmed it. No Friend.
Kayleigh, I think u should save up for Molly and Emily cuz in my opinion, i think that they are the next dolls to retire!! i have molly, and im going to get emily THEN im gonna get rebecca! so get molly + emily first and get rebecca after them!!
no friend coming out WITH her… (uhh… wait ya I think that’s right!!!)
today my bro Jonathan is turning 10!! wow it’s kinda weird He looks/acts more like a 12 yr old I guess it’s b/c he doesn’t have any normal good influencing friends… all of his (his age i guess) friends act like all the have is sugar and caffine!!! It’s actually kinda funny..
prob go for molly and emily, b/c AG might retire them (even though they SAID they wouldn’t doesn’t mean they won’t) and hopefully AG won’t be like Ganz and retire rebecca before she even comes out!! lol
They wouldn’t do that. A Jewish historical is something they’ve been asked about since the 90’s.
OMG! she is so pretty i am pretty sure i am going to get her because 1 i love her 2 she comes out the day before my birthday! coolio
First of all she looks nothign like chrissa! Second of all she is so beautiful and the dress is adorable! And third of all I watched the boy in the striped pajamas last night (about concentration camps and this boy who makes friends with one of the little boys in em) and it was the best movie ever but so sad,its one of those movies that really affect you and the way u think, now i really want rebbecca, if youre like 13 or older id so reccomend it or if your interested in WWII but ask your parents and make sure you can handle a lot of inhumane and sad things.
Happy Birthday to your brother Selena!
Thx Ashleigh!!!
I’m defiantly getting rebecca!!! She’s so pretty, and I’d like to learn more about WWII. I saw this movie on abc (i think) about this lady who rescued Jewish children… so sad!! The way they tortured her just…ughh.. all that blood..
on the bright side, I bought 5 dear america books!! (not to brag)
I got:
“winter of red snow”
“early Sunday morning”
“my personal war”
“when will this terrible war be over”
and that one about the girl on the Mayflower….
I still can’t find the witch trial one!!
i love early sun morning!
[...] You can see the origanal post I found the picture at here! [...]
OMG
The new doll, Rebecca is sooooooo cute
Please send to my email all your photos of Rebecca
thanks so much for the information!!!
I JUST read the first ummm… day/entry in it!!
*cries* poor danny!!! (yes, i still remember “Pearl Harbor”!!) so sad.. but very good acting!!!
Hi, some of you have mentioned you have youtube accounts. I just created one and wanted to upload a video of pictures I took of my dolls. How do I make a video with my pics? I see some people add music to a slide show type of video… I cant figure it out. I have so many cool pics…
I just saw “The boy in the striped pajamas” a few weeks ago!!! It was great, but you’re so right, it was sooooo sad! I held back tears through the whole thing because I didn’t want my mom to see me cry, but when it was over I went in my room and cried, because it DOES make you really think (ok, lame that I cried, I know!) And we go used to go to BORDERS book stores every week, and I would always take the book that goes with that movie and read it in one of there chairs, because why buy it when you can read it for free. I’m very interested in WWll as well, I’m reading Anne Frank right now, and I’m looking for other books about it. We saw a Hallmark movie called “The Courageous Heart Of Irena Sendler” about the true story of a lady who rescued Jewish children. I think its so cool that there having a Jewish doll!!
I LOVE Ann Frank! I was born a writer, but she inspired me to write even more! Anne Frank was amazing. Yup, the more I think about it, I REALLY want Rebecca!
I’d like to point out that Rebecca represents the struggle of immigrants in a new country, not WWII.
Anne Frank just wrote what was happening each day, she did nothing special. The books have been translated, and each translation embellishes it. So unless someone read the original Dutch, it wasn’t really what she wrote.
thanks everyone thats true lena they might retire them first so im gonna ask for them for x-mas but i already have 5 lol!
1-felicity
2-elizabeth
3-mia
4-gwen
5-sonali
I’m afraid i have to many dolls. I really enjoy playing with them, and I bought almost have of them from my fiddle contest money. Here are their names:
1. Samantha
2. Mia
3.Kit
4.Marisol
5. Felicity
6. Chrissa
Selena, you got your titles a little mixed up on the Dear America books (I have read every single one and am a complete fan!!) “My Personal War” is actually “My Secret War, the WWII Diary of Madeline Beck” (I just finished reading it AGAIN this morning, how ironic!!) and “When Will This Terrible War Be Over” is actually “When Will This Cruel War Be Over, the Civil War Diary of Emma Simpson”. And the author of that book, Barry Deneburg I believe, makes a reference to it in his other dear america book, “Mirror Mirror On the Wall, the Diary of Bess Brennan, Perkins School for the Blind”. It’s very interesting and I freaked the first time I read it!!
I am so excited to see Rebecca!! I will definitely be buying her!!!! YAY REBECCA!!!!
You can never have too many dolls!!! I have 15 nad still want more!!!:
1. Samantha
2. Nellie
3. Addy
4. Josefina
5. Kit
6. Kirsten
7. Pre-mattel Felicity
8. Mattel Felicity
9. Elizabeth
10. JLU
11. Lindsey
12. Kailey
13. Jess
14. Nicki
15. Mia
oh oops!! I glanced and ran over to type them b4 I forgot!! hehe
THAT’S what it was called!! The Irena Sandler one!!!!! so sad… i was scared to death when the boy was dropping out of the train… thought he would be killed!!
Omigosh! Her hair is like a total match to mine! Finally a girl with LIGHT brown hair! =) I am so excited for her! Even if I dont get her.
She is so cute! I’m going to ask my parents to get her for me for christmas or maybe I’ll just buy her. It’s kinda hard when you live in Australia but i’m pretty sure I will get her. And my best friend is called Rebecca so that would be cool.
Oh, and she has my eyes!
She is adorable!!! I am getting her when I have enough money.
I have 2 dolls, 1 american girl, Mia and 1 karito kid, Gia.
Hey you guys! I’m so excited, I’m going camping down by the beach in my grandparents trailer, can’t wait til noon!
Yeah, that was a good movie, huh Selena! Hallmark movies are great! Especially that movie, although it was sad.
I think I know what you mean, Lena, about Anne Frank, the book. I’m guessing she didn’t write those EXACT words, but I’m pretty sure everything in the book is the basic idea. No, she didn’t do anything that special, but I really like hearing about a teen girl, the same age as me, with her point of view of the war. My friend did a huge biography on her once
!!
omg she looks exactly like me!
she looks soooooo much like me!!!!!! except for the hazel eyes… but my dad has hazel eyes! hahaha!!!! i can’t wait to get her!!!!! i’m soooooooo excited!!!!!!!!
oh and btw sarah, the diary of a young girl by ann frank is her real diary. her father published it after he was freed from auschewitz (or however you spell it), and she, her sister, and her mom all died there, except her dad. anywho it’s her real diary!
oh!!!! i know which movie y’all are talkin about! the courageous heart of irena sendler! that’s one of my most fave movies ever! i love it! it’s so sad though! i love the ending, though!
btw, i just created my own blog! click on my name and you’ll see it!
Caitlin!
I finished reading the D.A. book, My Face to the Wind! It only took me, like, 2 days, though. And I read i WALK in Dread. It was very good! Right now I’m reading Hear my Sorrow, and it’s great so far! I also wanna read the Dear Canada series, since my mom was born in Canada. The first D.C. books i wanna read are Alone in an Untamed and Days of Toil and Tears. My BFF also has 2 of them, since she’s from Canada also, and they are Footsteps in the Snow and A Prairie as Wide as the Sea. I’ve read practically the last 3/4s of A Prairie as Wide as the Sea, but I haven’t checked it off the D.C. checklist yet. I wanna read it all the way through. I’ll probably borrow it from my BFF after i finish Hear my Sorrow.
Oh, I know, it just annoys me that you automatically associate Rebecca with WWII. She’s from a different time guys.
I’m leaving on May 30, 2009 and going to the AG place in Dallas and get her!
:) i hope it all works out! 
138thie!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry, Priscilla. I’e been mezza morta myself today. BTW, I’ve been working on rewriting the chapters. I’m up to six, but I’ve been too lazy to post them.
awesome! I think I might get rebbecca, even though I have two dolls and my dad thinks that is enough. BTW, since I buy the dolls myself with my own money. I have Jess and a JLY called Lila. Before I get Rebecca, though, I want to see what the GOTY 2010 looks like!
hi, just read some comments. lemme try…
Jessica, I have the same problem, only I have 9 dolls, and my parents think that is enough. Plus, I’m in my mid teens, and they think I’m too old. Lucky for me, I have my own money.
I hope the next GOTY is black. There have been no black characters except Addy. Actually, Sonali and Marisol have been the only non white GOTY’s because Jess is half white.
Hey everyone, in case anyone is interested, Nellie’s pajamas finally went on clearance for $25 on AG’s site.
yay! my friend is jewish, and i know she’ll want it, she dosent hav an ag!!!!
hi
I’m sorry, but does every AG doll HAVE to have the Josefina face mold now? I mean, Julie has it, Chrissa has it, and now possibly Rebecca. C’mon people!
my cousins are Jewish, but they celebrate Christmas, too. I’m Christian,
they live in Maryland and we live in foggy, rainy, cold NE.
Hopefully not, ’cause a lot of people tell their age. 
My kitty rocks!!! Her name is copper and she is half a year old! she’s a golden tabby with gold eyes.
! She can get on top of the fridge from the ground. 
wow.
but we celebrate Passover with them. my sis is really close to one of them. they’re six months apart in age and half a country in where they live. this sounds weird, doesn’t it?
Is this bad to tell your age? I don’t know.
Why am I talking about my cat? Because she is
Jovi, I agree. I love the mold on Josefina, I love it on Marisol. But on white dolls it just looks bad. Plus, the whole last historical and GOTY both have the mold, and it’s getting repetetive.
And yeah, Rebecca will have the Josefina mold.
OMG! Im getting her on my birhday and she has the same eye color as me!!!!!!!!
and if i get her she would be my………….. 1ST american girl doll!!!!!
i think rebecca looks like marisol or nikki. If you don’t remember marisol was a girl of the year. she liked to dance. I’m jewish and so is rebecca.
I like the Josefina mold on her and Marisol as well, though I also like – no love – how it looks on Nellie. She wouldn’t be Nellie without it – the frame/shape of her face fits nicely with her hair. She is way prettier in person. I also think that the Josefina mold is used far too frequently these days. I really think that they should come out with a new mold and use it for Rebecca. Funny, though – I don’t recall seeing too many JLY’s with the Jos. mold…
There’s one JLY with the Josefina mold, 28.
Elizabeth, Marisol, Julie, Chrissa, 28, Nellie, and Josefina all have it, and now Rebecca. All but the original (Josefina) came out after 2004.
hey you guys
!!!
OMG she is so cute
im getting chrissa in june!
Hi-
I am thinking about geting the new doll rebecca!!
She is really cute of what I have seen!! I am waiting till
May 31 to get her, I have been saving every penny$
I get to get her!! I have a lot of america girl doll’s and stuff!!
I can not wait to get her.When I saw her I am like she is so
cute she is kind of like Ruthie!! I do not think that that hat pic we got in the e-mail is her, I think that ag dressed up a jly doll!!Anyway I can not wait to get her
she is so cute!!
Bye everyone
I love Rebecca, she is so adorable. I cant wait until she comes out, I want her so badly. Too bad there soooooooooo much money. I’ll have to raise quite a bit to get her, but hey, I’ll try. TTYL!!!!!
peace
$)
I think AG needs to have more of a variety when it comes to GOTY. There hasn’t been an African American GOTY. The closest thing we’ve got is Marisol, and she’s Hispanic! (There’s nothing wrong with that.)
Idk, I just want the dolls to be more like real girls. Not all girls are “white”!
I, honestly, don’t think that picture shows the real Rebecca. You know, the one with the doll in the box.
Someone could have totally fixed up that picture to make it look like the real Rebecca. This doll reminds too much of Marisol.
I agree with you, Jovi. I find that she also resembles Chrissa way too much.
It is the real doll in the pictures, just bad pics, she is beautiful in person.
Also, Jovi it has the same mold as Marisol so that makes sense that you see Marisol in Rebecca’s face, others have said she look like Elizabeth and Julie.
I think she is beautiful and can’t wait till I own my own Rebecca.
Hi-
I think that it is rebecca because how did they
get that book and did they sew the outfit because I have never seen
That on any doll. I think that she kind of look’s like samantha maybe ag is
trying to make another samantha and nellie.
Well anyway samantha is 1904 so maybe
they are trying!! I Think she is going to have a friend!!
I can not wait to get her she is sooo cute!!
Bye everyone for now!!
Mandy, sorry, but she has no friend being made with her.
AG’s known for bad photography, and the email pic is overlit. Rebeccca’s hair is much darker, and yes, it is very curly, though not as bad as Nicky.
i. am. bored.

my bff let me borrow her 2 dear canada books, and theyre really good! the ones she lent me r “a prairie as wide as the sea” and “footsteps in the snow”. im reading the first one first hto cuz it takes place in saskatchewan and my great grandma is from there so ya its pretty coolio.
hmmmm……i think i’ll have to see her whole collection first before i “decide” that i want her.
LENA,
i don’t think its a bad thing nicki had/has curly hair (?)
and ag has good photos, but these ones are taken by designers that made the doll.
I think Rebecca is very unique and does not look like chrissa she has beautiful hair and i dont have any dolls whose hair has curls and hers are different in tht pic theyre tighter than the other dolls with curls but full still, she has pretty olive skin and green eyes too!
I think she loks just like Chrissa in a diffrent outfit. She is Chrissa in old clothes!!!!!!! LOOK AT HER CAERFULLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU WILL SEE SHE LOOKS JUST LIKE CHRISSA!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have 15 American Girl Dolls and in June I am buying Rebecca and Chrissa…I can’t wait. My Dolls.
1. Kailey
2. Jess
3. Mia
4. Nicki
5. Molly
6. Nellie
7. Samantha
8. Ruthie
9. Kit
10. Julie
11. Josephina
12. Bitty Baby
13. Another Bitty Baby

How many dolls do most of you have?
i agree w/ u ashleigh!! but i want a new guitar more, so ill go w/ that than get her.
She must be replacing Samantha!!!
But she’s very pretty, anyway…. A lot like Ruthie, dontcha think?!?
But still cute.
I PROBABLY won’t get her…..
You know…
She kinda looks like the JLY with hazel eyes and honey blond hair that’s curly…
I mean in the photo that shows half of her face.
She looks so much like me I can’t wait to see her!
Amy, I have three (soon to be 4) dolls: Kirsten (2003), Samantha (2005), Nellie (2006) and, as of June 25, 2009 (my birthday), Felicity. Also on my list is Addy, and those in consideration are Kaya, Rebecca, and Josefina.
Kassidee, I was saying Nicki’s hair is VERY curly, not that it’s a bad thing. Becca doesn’t have as curly hair.
No, AG’s photography is bad. Many collectors agree.
Hannah, that’s not Chrissa, it is Rebecca.
If you go to Barnes and Noble website right now and check out the mini rebecca, it has a picture and it is the big rebecca!!!! Wow.
That’s a over lit minidoll. The big one has darker hair.
No, wait, that is the full doll! Yay! But it’s still overlit. Her hair looks darker in real life.
Hi,
Can anyone tell me if she’s gonna be out on the website may 31, and is her hair straight or curly or wavy???
Oh my! She is even more gorgeous than I had expected!
I love her dress and I love love LOVE her shoes! I always thought that Samantha’s meet shoes should be high-buttoned boots (all black, though, like the book illustrations) like that.
Even Kit is overlit in her picture. Her hair is much darker in person.
OMG the full pic of rebecca with her hair down is so beautiful shes number 1 on my list!
This is so awesome Im toadlly getting her!!!!!!!
OH MY GOSH! REBECCA IS ADORABLE! I AM SO GETTING HER! I”MSO EXCITED! AND I HARDLY TYPE IN CAPITAL LETTERS!
The new pictures look great!! She reminds me of a brunette Julie.
A question for those who have a Mattel Samantha: How long is her hair when the curls are pulled straight? Can you measure this on one of her dresses, preferably her meet dress (with her wearing the dress, of course), and report where her straight hair comes up to (below sash, above sash, close above/below sash). I’m trying to figure something out…any help is greatly appreciated!
R. Anne, Sam’s curls pulled straight come about a centimeter (1/3 of an inch) below the belt of her meet dress.
Karise, that’s because they both have the same mold.
she doesn’t look like her illustration, but I guess that’s good because her illustration wasn’t the most attractive, lol, I love her, she’s cute
No, AG overlights their pics. Her hair is darker in real life thanh in AG’s pics.
Thanks, Lena. And the part of the belt you used was the part in the back, right? And what year is the Sam you used from? Sorry to be so interrogative, but I’m really wondering about something…
My Sam was bought as soon as I got the archival email, so October 2008. I used the back of her dress to measeure.
where did these pics. come from??
madison, I’m not sure if the pictures were found anywhere else, but I saw them on the Barnes & Noble site if you search “Rebecca Mini Doll.” I’m not sure why this picture was put up, since it’s obviously not the mini doll. And double-thanks to Lena for the info!
Do you guys think Rebecca looks like Ruthie or Mia?
Yeah, they came from B&N’s website. It’s supposedly the mini doll, but it has way too much detail for a mini doll.
No, she doesn’t.
aww she’s adorable…and she kind of does remind me of ruthie..i can’t wait until may 31!
Mia: red layered hair, hazel eyes, original mold.
Ruthie: brown curly hair w/ red highlights, grey eyes, original mold.
Rebecca: brown curly hair, hazel eyes, Josefina mold.
Other than Mia’s eye color and Ruthie’s hair style, she’s pretty unique. I don’t see why every one says she looks like Mia or Ruthie if she only has one of their traits.
I might not get her, but im super!!!!! excited! My name is Becky but my real name Rebecca is spelled the same way! My hair is a little darker and shorter but other than that, i look A LOT like her!!!!!
AHHHHHHHH SHES SO CUTE SHES A MUST GET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
P.S. JESS AKIKO MCCONNELL CAME WITH A BUNCH OF HER STUFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!
congrats abby!
today my new ag outfit came!!!!!!(it was the Jumper & Boots Set!) its gorgeous! and my BFF got the Cozy Star Robe!!!!!!!!!
and i got 2 books!!!!! yay! i’m also so excited about rebecca! the new pic is just breath-taking,seriously!
Can’t decide if I should buy Rebecca, Julie, or Ivy.
Am I the only one who is not completely ecstatic about Rebecca?
Sure, she’s pretty, but her hair’s too light for my taste. The Josefina mold isn’t my favorite either and she doesn’t look very much like the illustrations, either, which had darker hair and darker eyes. She looks like a hybrid of Mia and Ruthie with the Josefina mold to me. 2/5 of my dolls are already red heads and Rebecca would just make that even more disproportional. I mean, I need a *little* diversity.
On the bright side, I like her outfit! I can’t wait to see her others. I’m thinking about some of them for Nellie….Sure, they would be a little forward, but it’s the next best thing. Besides, Nellie could be a trendsetter
OMG SHE IS SOO PRETTY
Mia: red layered hair, hazel eyes, original mold.
Ruthie: brown curly hair w/ red highlights, grey eyes, original mold.
Rebecca: brown curly hair, hazel eyes, Josefina mold.
Tell me how you see Mia and Ruthie in her.
And her hair’s darker in real life. I told you before. AG has bad photography.
Thanks, Priscilla. lol I juts had a Root Beer float with my friends at Wednesday night church and we got pretty wild. I’m on a pop strike and I get $100 if I go until
october!!
I heard you guys kiked my idea of the greek AG! thanks! oh Lena, I guess maybe no bangs………..
I mean liked. not kiked my idea….. i mean that would be mean u would never do that.
Also, Congrats Priscilla! you’re very lucky because my parents barly ever buy me the outfits but I just have my heart set on AGs. most of my clothes are doll clothes but not AG clothes. I’m not poor or anything but my parents will only buy that stuff for ocasions.
P.S. My mom said Jess is my end of the year school present!
but anyway, just must get Rebecca!!!!!! (I’ll most likely get her when I go to AG on June 7 to learn about her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
hi, I think she is beautiful, but my mom said no more ag dolls, at least for a while, But my BFF might get her if she saves up enough money, yay! And we are both gonna go to the ag shop together, yay!
Holly I read ur blog. you wanna make it big in singing??? so do I! im crazy for singing!
sweet kiah!
Lena~ Have you seen Rebecca in real life? Not to question your reliability on this subject, but have you? I haven’t so I am only basing my opinions on what I’ve seen in the pictures. Maybe you are too or maybe you have seen the Real Rebecca and really know what she looks like. If you have, then I apologize because I don’t really know what she really looks like.
I only said that she looks like a hybrid of Ruthie and Mia. I have Mia and I think there are at least a few similarities. I know you’ve said before Rebecca’s hair isn’t really red, but I’ve said before that I haven’t seen Rebecca in real life and in the pictures her hair *looks*, merely looks not *is*, red. Plus Rebecca has the same exact eyes as Mia, you can’t deny that.
Ruthie has the same hairstyle as Rebecca. Not the same hair color, just the style (shortish and curly). Also, from a distance it sort of looks like Rebecca and Ruthie have similar eye colors.
Mia’s eyes and hair color + Ruthie’s hairstyle + different face mold = Rebecca
So you see, there are some similarities between Rebecca and Mia and Ruthie. At least through my eyes. I hope I don’t come across as rude; I am only defending my opinion, as you have done yours.
~Starr~
Starr, my cousin’s works at AG, and she already has her. Her BF is a photographer, so he took good pics of her and her hair.
I already knew of the similarities. I did state the above. And AGT 21 also has Mia’s eyes, but no one complains about her. Rebecca doesn’t have Mia’s hair color, it looks much darker.
Well, I have to say I am disappointed with AG. I mean, I love her eye color, but the hair color is just to red. I think a rich brunette would have been adorable. Also, I would have liked to see a 50’s girl. I think that most of the new dolls since Julie have been disappointments. What about a new line of dolls?
Watching american idol and tatiana is on!!!
Marisol and Jess both had white/tan skin.
Abby, Marisol had medium skin, Jess was white…
Oh she’s sooooo pretty!!! I can’t wait until she comes out and we get to see her accessories and outfits!!! Thanks a lot Abby, lol, you ruined it!! I’m way over in Washington and American Idol doesn’t come on for another hour!!! JUST KIDDING!!! That’s cool, although I didn’t really follow it too much this year. I think I’m going to buy her.
I agree with you that AG overlights their pics Lena, no way her hair is that light. I can just tell from looking at it. It doesn’t look right!!
*faints*
(doesn’t that explain enough? but… pretty eyes, love the curls)
BOUNA NOTTE!!
oh, also, sorry i haven’t been on!! swim swim swim, all the time… coach T works us hard! lol
also, lena…
there’s another rose in the world?? by rose, you mean non fairy-pires right?? and no one else…
lol rose (the ONE and only!! hehe jk) would kill someone if she saw this!! ha
AHHHH I want Rebecca so bad, she is too cute I am busting to see her whole collection on May 31st!
REBECCA!!!!!!!
Kris won american idol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m so excited!
crayestar,Rebecca probably doesn’t have the
kaya mold. kaya’s mouth is closed.
still,she’s soooo pretty.I’ll probably get her for my
b-day.I only have 2 dolls and I NEED MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I REAAALLYYY want her!!! Shes stunning with her curly hair and pretty outfit! I also love her eye color! I hope my parents will buy her for me since i only have 2.
OT: but american idol was awesome last night! I can’t get the songs out of my head, i totally thought adam would win, but i wanted kris to win :]
Did anybody watch Dancing with The Stars? I’m also really happy that Shawn Johnson won!
Anyway, I’m excited cause I’m buying either Ivy, Julie, or Rebecca this month! How many AG dolls do you guys have?
Bookworm, I have 4. Kit, Kirsten, Samantha, and Sonali.
I’ll soon have Rebecca or Molly, I haven’t decided yet.
where exactly is her hat
? oh, wait, I guess it doesn’t show her accessories
I have three doll so far, Bookworm: Kirsten, Samantha, and Nellie. I am getting my fourth doll, Felicity, in June for my birthday.
bookworm,i have julie,elizabeth,eliza regina may(jly),tashianna(jly),and jess(goty). i also have 3 bitty twins,but me any my sister share them.
and i REALLY want Rebecca!!!!!!
I loooooooooooovvvvvvvvvvvvvvveeeeeeeeeeee her. cant wait to see the res of her outfits. plus I cant wait till she comes out.
YAY im so exited i LOVE her hair i saved up my money to get her the day she comes out. cant wait she will be my 20th doll!!!
CANT WAIT!!!! : D : D : D : D
Selena~ There must be a LOT of Rose’s in this world, because I have one. She would like to be the one and only, but I don’t think that’s the case. I got her in…2002. When did you get yours?
*pauses*
Wait, we are talking about dolls right? Not characters…? I’m confused. :S
Priscilla~ What JLYs are Eliza and Tasha? You can say their numbers or describe them.
starr,i don’t know their numbers,but i will describe them. eliza has auburn hair, light skin, and brown eyes and has her ears pierced. and tasha has dark blonde curly hair,brown eyes,and light skin and does’nt have her ears pierced.
Piercings don’t matter. Eliza’s a 5, and Tasha’s a 24.
Starr, we were talking about characters, although I do have her in doll form, my dark haired Ellowyne (she’s a ball jointed doll, not AG)
Hi
Can anyone please tell me if her hair will be easy to care for. She will be my first AG doll, I’ve never had a doll, well I did but they were porcelain and not very friendly looking, but Rebecca looks lovely. Please how will her hair turn out?
Well, her hair looks like Ruthie’s which is curly, but short, which is good. Curly hair is not really hard to take care of; if you brush it properly and don’t mess with it too much, it will be alright. I have Sonali, whose hair is long and curly, and so far I haven’t had any problems with it. The styles are sort of limited, but it looks lovely down or with part of it pulled back. And a ponytail or pigtails are always another option!
Just be sure to brush it with the right brush every so often—especially when you do her hair—and don’t leave hair down and then play with her with something that is likely to get stuck in it….
Thank You Starr,
But should i get a hair pick or the hairbrush?
Hair brush is fine on my Sonali, should be fine for Rebecca.
Ok,
can you tell me how to care for rebecca, she is my first ag doll so i don’t know much on taking care of her.
curly hair isnt hard to take care of. always read the card that says american girl on it .it will be on her wrist when you get your doll, its filled with tips on how to keep your dolls hair nice.
The dolls aren’t that hard to take care of. A washcloth with water and baking powder (or soda, I can’t remember which one is right! Ask your mom and she will probably know, or look it up) is great for taking dirt off the vinyl parts of them. NOT THE CLOTH PART!! Don’t get their cloth bodies wet!! If you have to for a stain, only get them slighlty damp. The special doll cleaner AG sells is really just baking powder/soda, so it’s a rip off!!
Bookworm, I have 15 AG dolls, soon to be 16 with Rebecca. I have Samantha, Nellie, Addy, Josefina, Kit, Kirsten, mattel Felicity, pre mattel Felicity, Elizabeth, JLY doll, Lindsey, Kailey, Jess, Nicki, Mia.
Thanks for all the info!
But I don’t understand what’s the difference between mattel dolls and pre-mattel,
and what company owns AG, is it pleasant co., or mattel
hahaha, yeah some porcelein dolls don’t look to friendly, Kylie.
btw, Lena can answer ur question Kylie. She’s a smarty with that kind of stuff, k, u can take it from here Lena
Haha yeah they used to stare at me at night with those glass eyes
kylie,mattel owns ag,but pleasant company used to but now it does’nt. the difference betweeen mattel and pre-mattel is that the premattel weret he older dolls with white bodies,and the mattel dolls are the newer dolls with tan bodies. also pre-mattel dolls eyelashes are lighter than mattel dolls.
oops,i meant to write were the older dolls in the last comment. oopsies! lol
CHAR,I JUST FOUND ANOTHER REBECCA PIC!!!!!!!! CLICK ON MY NAME 4 THE VIDEO WITH IT!!!!! OMG
oops, now u can click on it! lol
It’s not there anymore. I guess it was removed or something.
Kylie, Priscilla explained it wrong. Pleasant Company owned AG from the begining, in 1986. Until 1991, when Felicity’s low necklines made the change it, the first three girls (Kirsten, Molly, and Samantha) had white bodies. With Felicity, they changed to the tan bodies the girls have now.
Mattel aquired the company in 1998, just after Josefina came out, and hve owned it since. Many collectors have noticed a decline in the quality of accessories and clothes, but not the dolls. Also, Mattel more heavily promotes the JLY dolls, instead of historicals, which was PC’s main focus.
Priscilla, no offence to you (see above), it was my fault, I explained it wrong before. Sorry bout misleading you.
Sarah, I take that as a compliment, and I thank you.
Rebecca’s cute, bet she reminds me of Ruthie a little too much. It’d be cute if she had straight hair- but she doesn’t. Otherwise, I like her boots.
;)
That sounds pathetic. ‘I like her boots’. Hehehe.
All she has of Ruthie is her hair style. Besides, straight hair didn’t come into fashion until the 1960’s.
Hehe, i like her boots too. but I wish they were all black.
I am so excited for Rebecca because she represents a part of my heritage that I never really got to experience (meaning I was told the stories). My paternal great-grandma was born sometime in the 1890’s (not exactly sure of the date yet, but i’m hoping it is 1894, so she would have been born exactly 100 years before me) and came to this country from Poland in the early 1900’s (my dad actually found a picture of the boat she came here in taken before the boat was destroyed). She lived in NY just like Rebecca, and was obviously Jewish. Furthermore, my dad has memories of going to Coney Island (he was born in the early 50’s) with his mom and grandma, and Coney Island is the setting for one of Rebecca’s stories. Even though Rebecca’s stories probably do not include her immigration (meaning she either immigrated as a younger child or was born here) and is obviously quite a few years older than my great-grandma (assuming she was born in 1905), their stories might have been very similar. I think I connect with Rebecca over this, kind of like how I connected with Samantha, about being born in the end of a century and growing up in the beginning of the next one (also like my great-grandma, though her life was nothing, NOTHING like Sam’s). Wow, I’ve been meaning to share that for a long, long time!
By the way, what countries did your family members come from? We are Polish, Hungarian (Dad’s side), Italian, German, French Canadian, and possibly Dutch (Mom’s side). That’s all we know about so far. What about you guys?
I’m fully Polish, but I’d like to point out that most Polish are Roman Catholic, not Jewish.
Oh, and Rebecca was born in the states. Her grandparents came here when her parents were children.
But…. Ana does come here durring the first book, and she doesn’t speak english in the second.
Oh really – I didn’t know (about the Roman Catholic thing). How do you know about the grandparents? I knew about Ana not speaking English, but where does it mention when the family immigrated?
My cousin works at AG, and she sent me the books. I’m on Rebecca Saves the Day (i refuse to use the new title pattern. It makes no sense)
Haha this is just me but, she looks like Ruthie, with Mia’s hair color, tad bit of Nellie. She’s deff cute!!
But I preffered Sam.
Cutesy boots.
LOL!
Your welcome Lena, as that was a compliment =). I’ve noticed you can answer like any AG question people have
.
Yep!
i defintely canNOT picture a hat on rebecca
Lena, what are the Rebecca books about?
Meet’s a bout how her family has to earn money to bring their relatives to US.
Learns a Lesson is about having to deal with her cousin not speaking enlish well.
Surprise’s about how she has to deal with her family not celebrating Christmas, but the school still forcing her to do so.
I know I used the old style of names. I like them better than the new ones, which make no sense.
Sienna, her hair’s not Mia’s color. It is much darker.
i wish she would have been Catholic, then she would have been almost exactly like me.
But fans have been asking for a Jewish girl since the 90’s.
That said…. if she was Catholic, she would look like me, have my religion, and I wanted to be an actress when I was 10.
Ok everyones telling who she reminds you of and I say Nicki I mean she DOES look the most like her right? tell me what you think!
i think she has the julie mold.
anyway,I love her dress!i also like her curls.she
almost looks like me .brownish hair….shes soooooooooooo
cute!!!!!lena,do you think she has a pet ?and if she does, what animal
do you think it would be?and kaya has her mouth closed so it’s not
her face mold.
All the historicals have a pet. Rebecca has kittens.
And yeah, she has the Josefina mold.
I’m pretty sure Josefina is Catholic, in fact I’m almost positive. Are there any christian dolls? wait, actually, I don’t think they’ve never mentioned which religion each doll is
anybody like the artist Pink? she’s awesome :]
No, but Josefina is definatly Catholic, and you can guess each girl based on where she is form.
o,cool!!! ur catholic 2 lena, i think
Pink’s cool.
Kaya is Pagan (believes each thing has a spirit)
Felicity is Angelican (because she’s British)
Josefina is Catholic
Kirsten is Lutheran (cause she’s Swedish)
Addy is African Methodist Episcopal (goes to AME Trinity Church)
Samantha is not specified, but some form of christian.
Rebecca is Jewish (self explanatory)
Kit, Molly, and Julie are not specified, but some form of Christian.
Yes, but I’m not hispanic.
LENA,
why is ag’s photograghy mad?
my friend kasidee was like wondering and me too
OMG HEYYYYYYYYYYYYY I HAVENT BEEN ON IN LYK……..4EVA!!!!!!!!! good news, going to the AG place on June 27th, to get Rebecca, and as much as her collection. I only have lyk, 50 bucks now, but my bday was May 9th, but i didnt have my prty yet, and all i asked for was money, and my family ia rlly big, my dad has 6 siblings, and 3 of them are grandpeople, not including my papa! Haha. Anywho, wut up?????????? plz tlk to me!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Las t day of school, i forgot about tht, its June 10th, it sucks, but it’ll be worth the x-tra days. 12 days left of Elementary School ):
dosn’t the books say josefina she’s catholic?
what does the star of david mean?
i know its on necklaces and its a jewish symbol. will rebeeka have htat necklsce? thier pretty.
I don’t know what her necklace will be. The Magen David is a symbol of Judism. I haven’t read Fina’s books in a while, but I don’t believe they specified her religion. That however doesn’t matter, as Mexico (where she lives) was a Catholic country.
Lacie, AG’s photography is BAD. Not mad, bad.
i would have bought and kept samantaha but when i saw she was being archived adnn i wouoldnt be able to buy more of her colection i changed my mind. i did like her collection though and her time. oh well. i sitll have her books.
why is ag focusing on the like you dolls. do they sell more of them?
i think the historical dolls are so much better. and the babies are cute to. i like the horses.
Molly, Samantha, and Addy , and Felicity are christian dolls.
P.S, I think Kit and Julie are too.
im cahtolic to.
the doll who looks most like me is molly. and i have glassess. sheis cute and whne i wa much youger i had a pier of sadle shoes. her clothes are cute.
Once Again
Kaya is Pagan (believes each thing has a spirit)
Felicity is Angelican (because she’s British)
Josefina is Catholic
Kirsten is Lutheran (cause she’s Swedish)
Addy is African Methodist Episcopal (goes to AME Trinity Church)
Samantha is not specified, but some form of christian.
Rebecca is Jewish (self explanatory)
Kit, Molly, and Julie are not specified, but some form of Christian
Everyone cept Kaya and Rebecca is Christian, and every except Kaya believes in the same God.
I think they think little girls aren’t into history. But then again, their marketing strategy is geared towrd the JLY, which if you want to sell more, you promote it. I think Mattel is just trying to make AG into another Barbie. I mean, look how pink and pastel the JLY collection is.
its too bad because the original point for ag was histoircals. is short hair popular on the dolls. its cute, but can you style it?
Not really. All I can do with Kit (cept hair clips & headbands) is pigtails. I think that this is why few dolls have short hair.
there is a post before this one , sarah, when you said are there any chirsitan doll, did you mean are there any Other chiristian dolls, or a specified religion? because catholic is christian. sorry i was just confused.
lena,is’nt samantha presbetarian? (sorry if that’s spelled wrong.) ok i’m gonna go a challenge 4 u guys if u wanna answer it! ok so here it is- what is Kit’s real name? and wat is josefina’s? and kaya’s?
whoever wins it will get a name poem from me!
ok i have a bonus question! it is- What does Kaya’s full name mean? and what song did kit get her nickname from?
Kaya’aton’my
Maria Josefina Montoya
Margaret Mildred Kittredge.
No, I’m pretty sure her religion isin’t specified.
She Who Arranes Rocks
“Pack up your troubles in your old kit sack”
Kit is also short for Kittredge.
She looks like Nicki with the curly caramel colored hair.I can’t wait until I get her.I’m so excited!
Now, I have a question for you. Kit already has a middle name, irsten wouldn’t have one, but my Sam needs one. I’m thinking Lydia, after her mom, but I also like Mary (Grandmary)and Sohpia. Which do you like better?
do they not have middle names in sweden? (kirsten)
why was it grandmary?
why did mattel get ag, and will some other company ever take it over form mattel?
Grandmary’s name was Mary, Sam just added Grand to it.
They do, but she’s be called by her first and middle name, like say it was Hannah, she’d be called Kirsten-Hannah. So, since se isin’t, it’s safe to say she has no middle name.
sophia is cute.
Pleasant Rowland decided to sell the company. That’s all.
Maybe. Who knows?
did upper class do that, or was it just part of sam’s story?
So, my girls names are:
Margaret Mildred “Kit” Kittredge
Kirsten Larson
Samantha ? Parkington
Sonali Kamala Purnima
Yes, I know Sona’s name isin’t canon, I don’t care, she is not the canon doll.
I don’t know. I think it may have been just Sam, because most movies set in that time have children say “Grandmother” or “Grandfather”
in happy birthday kirsten they have her name written out in the family bible and it just says kirsten larson.
So yeah, no middle name.
i like the dress she is wearing in the pic. they used to sell clothes for s to wear that matched the historical dolls right, are they slowly bringing that back? or just one? i know they sell pajamas. are they making movies for the rest of the dol;ls?
what color is rebecca’s hair, and where can i get a pre-mattel doll
Hey kaylie! Ebay’s your best bet for PM dolls. Rebecca’s hair is brown, darker than in that picture.
Yeah, there used to be outfits for girls, but now they just have PJ’s. I doubt that they’ll bring back the historical dress like your doll though.
thanks, lena i’ll check ebay
in mollys surprise they went to church on christmas eve.
Muslims believe in the same god too. But Catholism is the original Christianity, then Orthodox broke off, then came the Protestants.
i read Letters from Rifka and she was a russian jewish immigrant from about Rebeca’s time. and All-of-a-kind-Family is a seiries and they are jewish, and from about same time. in one of the stoires they got thier ears pierced. so it would be cool if she did, i think she will have a neckalce instead maybe?
how do they pierce the dolls ears? is it somthing you can do on your own, or do you just send in the doll to have it done?
yes and i meant to type Islam also. martian luther started the protestants. and england became anglican because henry the eigth wanted to brake away from the pope.
i would rather her have a necklace, does elizabeth have both?
have you used the hot needle before? will it leave black scorch marks from the needle on the ear? do the ag earing fit in your ears to wear?
Elizabeth does have both, but ivy only has earrings.
No, i haven’t used a needle to pierce ears, but I know people who have, and it didn;t leave marks.
No, they don’t fit, unless you have very, very big holes. And I mean like huge.
yes. i explained that badly, or not at all.
and he had one son who died young, right
whys donst ivy have a necklace.
Yep.
I don’t know.
why did they change a couple of the dolls who were supposed to be brown hier/ eyes? since a lot of people appernly have brown hir/eyes.
Huh?
If you mean why is Sam the only white brown haired/eyed doll, it’s because according to Mattel, blondes sell better.
This is why I have learned not to question Mattel’s logic.
It’s non existent.
*imagines Spock exploding at the illogicality*
addy, jsefina, ivy, elizabeth have ears peirced and only tow of htose have removalble earings. why dont dome of the others?
i love her hair and her clothes seem very authentic WOW.
is she going o have a lot in her collection?
i love that dress to hazel.
is someone already reading the books? what do you think of them?
since samantha was the most popular i would guess brown hair dolls sell just as well. like you said they have no logic. thier clothes were cute. i bet rebcals clothes will be just as cute. are htere any more photos / will she be relieased may 30,31, or 29?
religion is just a part of culture. will rebeca’s books have inforamtion about her culture and jewish customs traditions/
She’ll be come out on the 31st.

Others don’t have ears pierced because they wouldn’t have had them. Technically, Elizabeth shouldn’t have them either.
lena,you won my conteest! here is your name poem-
LENA
L is for a good listener
E is for excellent
N is for nice
A is for amazing
lena,i think samantha’s middle name should be carmellia or lydia.
If you believe that Jesus died to take away your sins, and if you love Him and know he is Heaven, then you are a christian.
Thank you Bookworm.
Thank you Priscilla! You’re nice too.
And I think it should be Lydia too, to honor her mother.
Clickee namee for Rebecca article in the New York Times! With a pic of her!
I am a Catholic, and I can assure that Catholics are Christians. Not all Christians are Catholics but Catholics are Christians.
—–
Anyway, I have the old #27, the kind that came with earrings, and I wish they would be removable, but they aren’t.
——
I want to read Rebecca’s books! Can you believe only eight more days until her release? I can’t! Even though I don’t want the doll, I do want to read her books. Her stories sound fascinating. I love her time period and her background. I may get some of her clothes, depends.
Her hair will be a new color!!! Medium brown with russet highlights.
Sigh…. I’m convinced…. Rebecca will be my next girl.
Starr, any world history book will tell you what you said. Catholics are Christians, and were the original ones.
Thanks for posting that link, Lena! That story was neat. =]
You’re welcome!
*changes link back to LJ*
The sad thing is……I think I want her now!
I love her story and I really want a Jewish doll and another historical……I still don’t know because she looks a little like Chrissa…ugh! It’s so hard to decide!
BTW,have you noticed…. Lissie’s missing from the photo at the top of all the girls?
I thought someone was missing! That’s so weird, I wonder why? Maybe they didn’t have enough room, but I think it would have looked better with a red head in the mix.
Well, Lissie and Beckie will be my next two girls, but it worries me that she’s not there.
Who knows? Lissie my be the next to get on board the Samantha train.
It’s creepy because the only difference between her and me is her hair color!!!!!!!
Creepy Gracie your right…… no dolls look like me except Kit.
I don’t have a doll that looks like me….I thought Rebecca would but she doesn’t. My doll would have Mia/Rebecca/21’s eyes (hazel) with long, straight to wavy, dark brown hair, like maybe #25 hair.
Oh….. thats to bad Starr. I can’t wait untill June 6! I get to go to Chicago and learn about Beckie!
No, i’ve never read that, Abby, but cool!
Meh, no dollies look like me (they haven’t made a bangless brown eyed brunette with the Josefina mold who’s white) but Rebecca’s close, since my hair’s dyed reddish brown (natural brown, I dyed it red, and it gave me highlights) and have green contacts cause I have vision issues.
OMG!!!!! I want her soooo much I think I am going to ask for her for Christmas!!!!!!
will curly haired dolls stay curly or get messed up when u brush them
Wahhhh! Tae kwon do was cancelled because of storms!!! I’m upset now.
BTW, seeing as how i see this NOWHERE on the news………………… how many of you knew Daytona beach was flodded?
Depends on the doll Kylie. If she has curls luke Sam or Sonali, they won’t get messed up. If she has curls like Nicki or 26, the you’d better get a hair pick and be careful when doing her hair. If the doll in question is Rebecca, she has Sam style curls, and they won’t get messed up.
oh thank goodness, because i’m planning to get rebecca, thanks again lena!
would u get chrissa or rebecca….
and don’t say chrissa because she’ll be gone soon, and u can get rebecca later,
because i’m only allowed to get one doll
I’d get rebecca, because she’s jewish, is new, and when AG makes a movie for her, everyone is gonna eventually want her.
P.S. Click my name and check out my blog!
btw, I saw a pick of becca with her hat on! it looks ah-dorable!!! I NEED elizabth though
will becca be on the website may 31
We don’t know, Kylie. She’ll be in stores is all we know.
One last thing, Sarah, who ever you asked was wrong, they are the same, google it.
I’d rether get Rebecca, cause i’m just not interested in Chrissa. But that’s me.
K, no more religious arguing.
Peace Sarah?
*offers hand in appologetic manner*
oh! ALSO, REBECCA IS B-U-T-FUL IN THAT ARTICLE!!! THX LENA!!
please guys can we not talk about religion here? hey,i was just wondering,does anyone on here like the song hoedown throwedown? peace! luv! and happiness!
thanks char for making this website! (i know that’s random.) p.s.,Char, is your name pronouned char or cher? and is it short for charlotte or cheyrl?
REBECCA IS-
SUPERCALIFRAGAISTICEXPALLADOCIOUS!! (That means she’s gorge!)
oops i left out in L in SUPERCALIFRAGALISTICEXPIALLADOCIOUS
Priscilla, her name’s said ‘Shar’. It’s short for Charlene.
I totaly agree on Rebecca.
char like the famous CHAR! No way! JK JK.
Peace lena! *offers virtual hand back*
we went to ikea today, It’s my new favorite store!!! I got this super cute pink desk chair (speaking of it, im sitting on it) . And I totally want a giftcard for there to decorate my room some more. It smells amazing in there like a new house, and new furniture. They most have contemporary furniture there, that’s why I LOVE it! sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo……….
*shakes virtual hand*
Sarah, if i could live in Ikea, i would. So would my mom. I don’t think we own a piece of furniture that wasn’t bought there. Right now I’m on the fold out couch under my bunk bed (both Ikea) eating a cinnabon from their food store. Lol. Yeah, nothing in my room isin’t from ikea.
Dolls, books, a pillowcase and comuters don’t count.
ive been to ikea. i bought a blue chair that hangs from the ceiling.
Sweet. I’d get one, but my room’s too tall. Not to mention a little too crowded…
i was looking at ag site, and one review said they bough her when flecitiy was going to be canceled. was this years ago? its too soon to retire more i would think. and she’s colonial. although i did notice her skirt, from her 2nd book was gone from the webpage a week ago.
They took her out of catalogs and retired a lot of her things back in 2001. Then in 2005 they brought out the movie and she got popular again, but only while the hype lasted. Now they’re retiring her things again, but the doll’s safe for now.
how is he not popular enough? i like her clothes. and if they retire her stuff and she has less, how is that a good thing?
Chrysanthamum, I’m with you on Felicity. They’ve already retired her original meet dress, school dress, birthday dress, and summer dress. And she’s not necessarily not popular enough; American Girl just can’t produce many outfits and accessories for all of their dolls. An example is Samantha having to go so Rebecca could debut. Producton space is limited so the older products have to go.
Less stuff = less where house space taken up. meaning the Girls with the smaller collections are less touble some to Mattel thatn the ones with big collections, like Sam was.
I don’t know. Maybe it’s cause the target age group (8-12) isin’t into history for the most part? Then again, she looks like a princess so you’d think she would sell…. and now that Sam’s gone, her clothes are the fanciest….
Mattel has no logic.
Like I said before, Spock would explode if he met the Mattel people.
will samantha and nellie be back soon, just like what happened to felicity?
and the dolls form the thirties are popular right? because in the last ouge i was they had si pages or so. is that just because they had a movie?
did someone say they are reading the rebca books becuase thier coulsin works there? lena?
yeah, totally Ikea is my dream house!!! You know what? It would be THE best place for a slumber party/sleepover, lol. That would be awesome!! I wish they would let people do that, although I understand why they don’t…….
i saw a post from someone who wanted to buy either chrissa or rebecca and dont say chrissa just cause she’s here for one year.
i would personally buy rebecca, she will have more added later an i think her clothes will be better. i would decide when i see her colleciton. i owuld prefer her. ilike her time period to.
that would be. i love ikea.
“I-I-IKEA!!!” lol I don’t remember where that’s from.. the one here is HUGE, I got kinda freaked out the first time, thinking i would get lost! lol my bro got a light thing w/ a spider web on it to hang from the top bunk on his bunk bed (reads on the top, sleeps on the bottom!) and we got lunch there. Come to think of it, the cute little colored bowls and cups there we have too!
Btw, lena, have you seen the new star trek movie? I was dying to but my dad
OH!! WAIT!!! some thing funny : My dad is litteraly cpt. Kirk!!! Like, he’s a pilot and my bro (w/ the i-i-ikea lamp) has the initials “J.T.K(irk)!! lol anywho-
was taking JT (lol, .) my bro to it for his bday.. a “guy” thing. Why do guys think it’s too scary for girls????? Uggh.
BOUNA NOTTE!!
what’s ikea???
Ikea is a furniture store. They are all that huge, don’t worry, I’ve gotten lost too.
Star Trek wasn’t that violent, really. No bad words, but a lot of people died. Selena, if you want to see it, you should cause it was good. Because I liked the movie so much, I even started watching the original series (from the 60’s), and I am officially a Star Trek geek. Yeah, I even am making Sonali an Uhura costume.
Actually, my bunk bed huge enough for four people. There’s my bed that’s queen sized and sleeps two, and the couch under it can take two. So Ikea is like the ultumite slumber party place…….
Yes, my cousin works for AG. And I love Rebcca’s books.
Kit and Julie are the most heaily promoted dolls now, because Julie’s “new” (won’t be in a week!) and Kit had her movie.
Kylie, I really don’t know. Lissie was still available durring her dark time, what happened to Sam is different. Nothing is available for her, she’s gone from the historical line.
Except books and the mini doll. Those stay.
Wow…. that was long….
OMG I love rebecca she is so pretty like nellie I’m going to get HER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hey lena- im thinking about getting sonali and i wanted to know the good and bad things about her. i really am not sure about rebecca because she looks so much like all the rest of my dolls.
Well, Beckie has a new hair color, so it should be different…
Anyway, my Nali is very pretty. She looks good in everything I’ve put her in. Her hair is a little tangly, but if you spray it with a little bit of watter (like from a misting bottle) it should be fine. If you read some of the reviews on AG, they say her cloth body’s orange. It’s not. Mine’s not perfectly skin tone, but it looks ok if she has a swim suit of tank top of something. Besides, none of my AG’s has a body that perfectly matches their arms, legs, and head color.
The only bad thing about her meet outfit is that her pants are a little hard to put on, but otherwise I love it. The tshirt and sweater thingy are seperate, so you can mix and match with other clothes.
I love me Nali (she’s not canon Sonali) and wish you fun withwhoever you’ll pick to be your new doll.
She looks sooooooo cute!!!
THANKS!!! she will definately be my next choice. i just have to wait till after my vacation in flordia. lol
wowww i just read all the comments including the arguing and sarah you need to chill when i read this comment i really didnt know wat to think of you:well, it takes a rude person to know a rude person, right lena? whatever, because i know I’m right, I’ve actually read the bible, studied it, and DEEP studied it when i was baptised. and I’ll die before i SEE that ur right. and stop critising me! geez. btw, catholicism is not christianity, haha.
WOOW not trying to get anyone angry but this is a doll site no arguing and talking about religion and criticisng someone else and saying techically you know more bout the bible and stuff is horrible. I know you werent the only one invloved but still, you can never take back what you say, so i hope you guys think next time before you type and reread what you wrote.
On the sunnier side I think Im getting Rebecca, shes so pretty and i might be selling Felicity, plus MY POOL OPENED TODAY!!!! Im so excited its so hot plus i just ran 5 miles on my wii fit (no joke) so im sweating to death! Theres like only 7 DAYS TILL REBBECCA!!! pardon my bad spelling lol, im in humanities but I still stink at it. Well Im off to go swimming! Cya guys later.
Ashleigh, we got over it, yes, she was mean, but I wasn’t any nicer. We’re friends again.
Is Lisse in the rose garden gown on the lilac gown? Or neither? Cause if your selling her in the rose garden one, I’m willing to buy.
Im Jewish so Rebecca is perfect for me! Im gonna get he the day she comes out! SHE IS BEAUTIFUL! I CAN”T WAIT ANOTHER WEEK! GRRR! IT”S NERVE RACKING! I AM ALSO RUSSIA JEWISH AND I WANT TO BE AN ACTRESS! my grandpa wanted to be an actor when he was young but his parents din’t want him to like Rebecca! WHEN I GET HER I WILL EMAIL PHOTOS FOR YOUR GALLARY! THX SOOOOO MUCH FOR THESE INSIDE SCOOPS AND PICS!
I’m not selling my Lissie….. oh wait, you were talking about ashleigh!! oops! hehe My Lis is in the meet (whatev, rose garden) outfit. well, not technically, Liz is in it right now…I liked it alot more than the lilac one. I mean, I don’t think they would wear nice stuff like the lilac dress everyday, especially not Lissie. She looked much better in her original meet outfit. I’m really bummed though, b/c I never got her accessories!! boo-hoo lol
g2g clean the inside of the volvo, just finished washing, I might go swimming once we bring Izzy (our poodle lol) inside (she’s a jumper!) ….
3 more days till FL!!! =D
does anyone know what the GOTY 2010 is??
i’m SOOO excited to see rebecca!!!
no i dont kylie. ur best bet is to ask the wonderful AG expert lena
yes ashleigh i was mean, but i was just mad because i learned something different from lena, which is totally ok because no one believes the exact same thing. and i apologize, so please dont mention it because im sorry and i wish i didnt say those things,.
Eek! star trecky’s are so cool, except some who really get a little too over-obsessed with them, u know when they start believing they’re actually one of the characters? i havent seen the movie, but ive heard its good! whats that guy’s name with the funny eyebrows? spock? or am i thinking of someone else? i’ve never seen the old episodes but they are classics, from what i heard :].
this is sooo random but i feel like going to the beach……… or swimming….
Kylie, no one knows who the GOTY 2010 will be. Well, cept the people at AG. Although three french names were trademarked: Emmaline, Laurette, and Marie-Claire. I’m hoping for a Louisiana Purchase historical, but the trademarks match those of GOTYs. It was about this time last year that we found the trademarks for Chrissa, Sonali, and Lanie, so it could be the next GOTY.
I love Star Trek. if you can see the movie, I suggest you do. Spock is the guy with the eyebrows, and one of my favorites. Actually, my favorites are Spock, Uhura, McCoy, and Kirk, in that order.Yeah, the old series was good, a little lacking by today’s standards, but good. I’m making Nali an original Uhura costume (Nichelle Nichols) , i just need the black boots.
AG expert…. haha.
omg lena i’m catholic 2!!!!!!!!!!
wouldnt it b cool if they made a war of 1812 on set in 1814, 1 yr b4 the war ended? and like, her dad would be part of the navy and fighting the british on the sea, and her mother was left alone with her and her siblings, and her mom would be so sad a lot bcuz shed b worried about the dad on the sea! omg that would b soooooooooooo cool!
no shes not in the rose garden dress
i meant war of 1812 ONE.
wait, wut do u mean ashleigh about the rose garden dress? u mean a doll?
She meant Felicity’s original meet outfit. Ah. I thought I’d save myself a trip to eBay, but if not, I might just buy a new one. Oh well, back to ebay.
r. anne, i know this is kind of a l8 comment, but my family background is irish, swedish, scottish, and a little british. the british part isnt really british, just my grandma was born there, but her parents were both raised in ireland, and my other great grandma was scottish, but she married an irishman, so i’m, like, about 98% irish, and then my other great grandma on my father’s side was directly from sweden, so ya.
I’d personally prefer a creole girl at the time of the louisiana Purchase, maybe with a cajun bf.
oh, ok. thnx lena!
i mean about the rose garden thing
i’m glad they’re making another jewish doll because the last one they had was the GOTY 2001 (i think 2001) and what was her name? i’m braindead 2day cuz i’m really sick with a fever, sore throat, headache, and i feel like i’m gonna vomit.
oh ya! i remember her name now! lindsay!!!!! she is such a pretty doll! i wanna get her off ebay
Lindsey. And they only mentioned her Jewishness in the stereotypical bar mitzva failing of her brother.
Oh…. such a bad hedache….. to much TV.
I found a picture of Rebecca with her accessories I emailed it to Char she’ll hopefully put it up soon! She looks beautiful in the pic I found plus her accessories are amazing.
cool.
Not exactly Pioneer…. Lindsey was 2003.
i know, i thought her hat would look weird on her, but I saw a picture with it on her, and its super cute. Not like Goofy’s hat at all, like I thought it would look like, hehe.
btw, im trying to find a dish chair for my room, anyone know where I can find one? I found an amazingly adorable one on roomsforkids but i cant order stuff from online.
yeah, i remember Linsey was jewish, huh? She wore a cross right? or am I thinking of someone else?
No linsey did not have a cross and yes i think she was a Jew
um, ya sarah u r thinking of sum1 else. jews usually dont wear crosses, only star of davids.
i love rebecca! i have 18 american girl dolls!
1. Julie
2. Ivy

17 &18. boy bitty twins
nellie wore a cross. You know what’s kinda interesting is ya know, Jesus died on a cross so back then it was like wearing an electric chair! lol
GASP! (hehe) cpt. Kirk isn’t your favorite? I thought you were my friend!
JK
Spock is great too! my older bro was him for halloween last yr he looked funny! *giggle*
black boots…. old santa’s helper outfit? that’s the closest I can think of! haha nothing alike… (well, actually, they’re : 1. both black 2. both boots! 3….. both worn by girls?
I put Nel’s cross on ruthie. IDK why!
hi is anyone on? Rebecca is so pretty!
oh, yeah it was nellie! not lindsey
there’s this book about a girl who’s jewish, it has something to do with her star of david (thx pioneer, i forgot what theyre called) but i cant remeber what its called….. it looks very good though
NUMBER THE STARS! THATS IT! it looks very good =)
is it number the stars? or letter to rifka? i love those books! it could also be a time of angels. i love that book also.
haha sarah! i was typing that comment just as u were! except 4 sum reason mine took longer…
oh and number the stars isnt about that girls star of david… shes not jewish, but her bff is and when the nazis try to take her bff away she hides her in her apartment and acts like they’re sisters, and her bff gives her star of david to the main girl to hide when she escapes denmark, where the book takes place. it is a very good book and i highly recommend it if u like reading about WWII europe, like i do.
ohhhh, ok I’ll go find a summary of it. Yeah, I really like to read about WWll in Europe, i find it very interesting, and although a lot of it is sad, for some reason its really important to me
Lindsey was 2001, not 2003, as 03 was Kailey.
Yeah, I posted an NYtimes artice on Rebecca a while back, and it had a pic of her and her accessories.
Selena, I meant the old series. William Shatner wasn’t very good, IMO. But I do love him in the new movie. The movie favorites are Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Uhura. I won’t spoil it, but I’ll say I love both Spocks.
yay sarah! i own itm and i kove just flipping thru da book, stopping @ a random page, and reading that page!
what’s a custom doll?
Oh My Goodness she is so gorgeous!!!!!! I was already planning on getting her but now I am even more excited than before!!!!!!!!! yay I am selling some of my other doll stuff so i can buy her !!!! super glad i did now!!!! yay!!! one more week!!!!
i wish they didnt retire the core outfits. its so annoying.
Yeah, I hate it when they retire core outfits.
A custom doll is one that has been customized. Like of you swapped wigs with Kirsten and Julie, you’d have 2 custom dolls.
can you swap eyes on biity baby becasue i want a brown haired blue eye biityy baby. so then i would also have a blond hair brwon eye bitty baby. do peopole buy the custom dolls on craiglist/ebay? and how do you change the wigs ? or eyes, if you can?
There’s a youtube vid on eyeswaps. You take the wig of one doll, and glue it on another. I believe there’s a youtube vid for this too.
Do bitty’s have closing eyes? I think you can only do eye swaps if the eyes close, but I’m not sure.
my eyes hurt, I’m gonna go to bed, so bouna notte.
thank you.
pioneer fan, i read number the stars! its so cool!

also, i’ve read number the stars twice (not to brag) It’s a very good book. for school (home) we read it as a read aloud, and b4 i read it on my own.. they should have made a sequal!
it is a good book.
i really hope her best friend comes out too her name is Ana!!!!! My name is Anna so i really want her too!!!!! i am super excited 6 more days!!!!!!! she will be 23rd doll that i have bought !!!!!!! yay!!!!

wow 22 dolls is a lot
i have only 2, but still
oh yeah I have another rebecca pic click on my name
In the first atual pic, for some reason she has straight hair??
my mum said I could get her the day she comes out!!!! I’m so exited for the 31st!!!! I like the colour of her hair and eyes, but I am christian
fred the spider freaks me out he’s on my computer WATCHING. MY. EVERY. MOVE.
fred the spider said bon voyage he is in the ocean now. bonjour, fred!
Lena~ I don’t think I meant to say Mia lol!
Mia’s hair was red…Rebecca’s is light brown.. 
Ruthie’s curls, definitley. Just more lightly curled. Resembling Chrissa? :\ Sam had suprisingly curly hair, if you wet it and fluffed it. Julie or Josefina face mold I’d say.
I think AG took a risk making a Jewish doll, wouldn’t you agree?
Toodles!
Sienna Amber
Sienna,
What do you mean by AG took “a risk” by putting out a Jewish doll? What exactly would that risk be? She is a doll capturing the immigrant experience of the early 1900s and also exploring the early movie days. She is historical and beautiful like the other dolls and I cannot imagine why her release would be risky. I am hoping that her release will let girls of all religions see that Jewish girls are a lot like them, just dealing with a few different issues — like different holidays, etc. They could have made the immigrant doll an Italian or another ethnicity, but AG is acknowledging that there are other groups with other beliefs that have truly made a great contribution to the United States. How wonderful!
Sienna, Julie and Josefian have the same mold, the Josefina mold.
I agree, but according to those articles, a Jewish comittee read them and approved them, so little to no stereotyping here!
Im getting her whole world set for my b-dayyy!!
she looks nice without her accessories aswel but i am going to get her full set.
i have $120 dollars saved up so i am gonna get her. yay!
it is so cool that some of you are going to the store and getting her, or ordering her online as soon as she comes out, or getting her for your birthday. i have to save my money. i want to get a job for the summer. im a junior.
[...] the buzz is definitely building! Articles in major news outlets and more are starting to pop up and more sneak peek photos are showing [...]
thats so weird theres another Kayleigh on here!!!! lol XD i have 5 ags
- Felicity
- Elizabeth
- Mia
- Gwen
- Sonali
and i want Emily, Molly, Kailey (GOTY 2004) Rebecca!!!, Josefina, and 4 JLY’s plus whatever GOTY’S come out too.
cool
OMG! I really want to get her, but sadly my mom doesn’t want to spend so many money just for a doll so I’m sure that I won’t get her.:( I only have bitty twins. I also love to have Chrissa and her best friends, Kit and Ruthie, Molly and Emily, Julie and Ivy, and one JLY doll. I want them so badly!!!!
I need to ask you guys a question. I’m going to American Girl Place in Chicago for my birthday and I can get one doll. Should I get Rebecca or a Just Like You doll? I already have Julie and I’m not sure if I want to get another Historical Doll. But I’m 12 and kinda outgrowing American Girl and I’m not sure if I want to get a Just Like You because then I’ll spend a lot of money on it. I love Rebecca and I’d love to have her because she look alot like me but there’s a Just Like You that looks just like me that I’d love to have too. Please answer my question!
Auby, I’d get Rebecca because she’s new, looks like you, is pretty, has great books and accessories, and you said you wanted her.
Hope this helps!
I’m not trying to be mean but can any1 do
? Or 
I can’t wait to get Rebecca Rubin! She is so pretty! I liked her just today when I got a thing in the mail about her,and I thought she was amazing. When a new doll comes out I want that doll so much,so I get it for Chrismas or my birthday.I want:
- Chrissa
-Rebecca
-all of them
I want them because they rock so much!
build a bear or AG???
I can’t decide what to get my little sister:(
P.S.
She has never had a doll or a build a bear
I’m SO getting her! My 8 AG dolls would love to meet her! Well… I don’t know IF I’m getting her for Christmas this year. I’m getting a MYSTERY doll of ether Elizabeth, Rebecca, Sonali, Gwen, Ruthie, Emily or Addy. lol!

OMG! she is so cute!my mom is geting her 4 ME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(maybe)
i cant wiat to see her colection. im selling a few old things, like computer games for very little kids and stuff to have a little money for buying ag tings like theis new one. i it when people quit emailing after they say they will buy it and they dont even tell you they changed thier mind. oh well its rude but sonene else buys it then.
I have 15 AG dolls in my collection. My 2 grand daughters each have their own AG
dolls and love to come and play with mine.
I love all the AG dolls and will be adding Rebecca to my collection.
Her story is similar to my mother’s father ’s family who were Russian Jewish immigrants, as well as my father and his family who were Polish Jewish immigrants
Does anyone think that Rebecca looks sort of like Samantha? I do. I mean with the clothes.
And I wonder if Rebecca has kittens because Kirsten has a cat and kitten.
I have Felicity, Samantha, Josefina, Julie, Elizabeth, Molly and Chrissa.
I still want Kit, Sonali, Kirsten, Stephanie (JLY), and Addy. Maybe Rebecca; I have to see more of her collection first. And she’s more foreign to me, kind of like Kirsten. Does anyone know if Ana’s getting released with Rebecca tomorrow or monday? Just wondering, because people said Ruthie was going to be released May 31, but she was released June 1. Who knows?

Hmm…I don’t really like Rebecca, only her school outfit. She doesn’t seem like I thought she would be, but she’s ok.
i like her meet dress outfit.
OMG!!! She’s on the website already!!!!!! I ordered her already I can’t wait for her to come!
your so lucky how exciting. when will she arrive?
it usually tkes over a week form when i plcae the order.
I’m not sure, but I hope she comes soon! My mom ordered her for me, we just got the confirmation email.
Will Becca have a best friend doll, did AG confirm it?
i don’t know kylie good question but i think she will because of her books. There is another girl on one of her book’s. So it is a mystery, but if i remember julie was, showed on Oprah so maybe rebecca will be on Oprah???
did julie have more stuff than rebecca when she was released?
will they make the character’s dolls from the books; for julie and ivy who had chinese dolls? and rebecca, ruthie,?
i belive julie did.
i have bad news, rebbecca will not be on the oprah winfree show. i emailed ag and they said no so no oprah but that isn’t dissapointing i asked if she will have a bf so i will info soon
Do you guys think I should get Rebecca or Kirstin? I like Rebecca more than Kirsten and Rebecca’s clothes and stuff more cuz I have Samantha and Nellie, and I just love their clothes and Rebecca’s clothes is very similar. And I like the Victorian Era time and around that time. But I also like Kirstin too, and I’m afraid they might retire her, and if they come out with a friend for Rebecca I would want her too. And I don’t know how many more dolls my mom will buy for me cuz she says like 3 or 4 is enough. And I just have Samantha and Nellie right now. So which one should I get?
well, in my opinion, rebecca. she would go w/ the ones u already have. u could change their outfits and still be historically accurate.
but, thats just my opinion.
Yeah I was thinking the same thing, but I’m still thinking which one to get, but I think I’m leaning more towards Rebecca.
omg She Has Marisols Skin color and eyes
and she is awesome
i’m getting her in august im saving WISH ME LUCK
lol :333
