I like Ivy, but personally, I don’t like Julie to much. I love my Kailey doll and though there are clear differences between her and Julie, they are way to much the same. I like the time period, so if Julie looked less like Kailey (who I already have) I might have concidered buying her. ***SO EXCITED! FELICITY IS ON HER WAY IN THE MAIL! I LIVE IN CANADA, SO I DON’T KNOW HOW LONG SHES GOING TO TAKE:( SHES MY SECOND AMERICAN GIRL DOLL! I’VE PAID FOR BOTH OF THEM:D***

I love American Girl, and have 5 of them, including Ivy. I, too, am Chinese, and were hoping for a Chinese doll. This year, my wish came true. Although Ivy does look “not-Asian,” I am just glad that they made her.
I agree that Julie looks like Kailey; she really does!!

I am a Mom, and I’m about to get a Julie doll for my daughter for Christmas—our first AG doll. I was only 3 1974, but I had a friend named Julie in the 70s. I think my daughter loves her hair and her cool bed. The second choice was Elizabeth, and someday maybe we’ll get her, too.

I think that they are just both so cool! Julie is my 2nd fave AG now, next to Felicity, of course!

I, too, am a mom to an adopted daughter from China. I was also disappointed that AG didn’t do a new face mold for Ivy to make her look more asian. I will probably end up getting Ivy and Julie, but just because I was 11 in 1974 and remember all the fashions and accessories. I had the Barbie head as well as many of the other things.

I, too, am the mom of a daughter from China. I just got word of this long-awaited doll from someone in a local China-adoption group. I’m disappointed in this doll as well — they’ve used my LEAST favorite of the face molds, sigh. WHAT is with the teeth on that doll???? (Sorry if the Jess mold is anyone’s favorite, but I much prefer a sweet smile like those of the other dolls.)

If you’re the mom of an Asian daughter, take a look at the original Asian doll by Goetz (or is it Geotz?). That doll’s name is Kimberly and turns up on eBay quite often. I MUCH prefer it to the “just like me” Asian mold in the AG collection. I got one on eBay a few years ago, and it’s safely put away for my daughter, who is 4, for a few years. This year, DD will be getting an Asian Bitty Baby.

Now, it is weird to anyone that I — who was 9 in 1977 as well! — want a Julie doll, lol?
