One of our readers, Stephanie, sent me some pictures of her dolls. I absolutely love the pictures of her Pre-Mattel Kirsten and American Girl Doll of Today #7.
Dolls made before 1998 are considered “pre-Mattel” since Pleasant Rowland sold the American Girl Company to Mattel that year.
While Pre-Mattel dolls are hard to find, they are still available regularly on eBay and if you are lucky you may find one at a yard sale or even a thrift store.
Hehehe….
No, I was simple pionting something out, there is a difference.
And we’re right back at personal preference!
I wish Chrissa’s meet outfit was a little more detailed; next to say, Julie, she looks like a stripped down doll. Surely it costs more to make Julie over Chrissa.
How are we back at personal preference?
JULIE is perty so I would pick her. my opinion.
I’m starting to kind of tilt toward Chrissa, though.
Let’s let that topic rest a bit.
if you like long hair you won’t be dissapointed with Julie. and she has one of the cutest faces.
Hey guys click on my name to check out this cool blog!
Whatever Lily.
I don’t really like the Josefina mold on Julie. The only dolls I like it on are Becie and Fina
The reason why I’m kind of favoring Chrissa at the moment is because I don’t want to get the 2009 doll of the year when it’s almost 2010. I’d like to display her in her swim team outfit next to Molly and Emily.
Julie, on the other hand, has a great meet outfit and that long, silky hair. She also has a swimsuit, but it’s $52 for the complete outfit . . . ouch!
The reason why I said we’re back at personal preference is because you said the charm of the nightgowns is because they’re plain and white . . . atleast , that’s what I thought you said. But we’re not here to argue, and I need help deciding between Chrissa and Julie!
ya… pretty expensive….
I love Julie! She has the best hair for styling! She has really good books too…
I like Julies PJ’s over Chrissa’s
Julie, as i’ve already said.
That was my preference, yes. I though you meant about you being rude and me pointing it out.
That’s a hard decision, Lily. Remember Chrissa won’t be here for as long as Julie will.
Taelyn – we have the llama – very cute!
Lena, Lily and others – please keep things nice or I will start moderating all comments and that will really slow down the conversations.
But Julie’s meet outfit is so cute she wouldn’t need her summer outfit right off the bat.
If I were you, I’d think about all the things I like about them both. Then whoever has the most things I like, I’d get.
I know this was mentioned long ago, but SOS stands for save our souls. Just putting it out there.
I would definitly choose Julie because she is so beautiful. But then I’ve never seen chrissa in person so I don’t know what she’s really like.
I’m sorry, Char. Sometimes you type something and you don’t realize that it offends someone else.
I think I’d still get Julie though, because I just like her more.
And then little spats start.
Julie’s hair however is very silky. It looks nice in most styles but is very hard to braid because it is so slippery.
When are you going to get Chrissa/Julie?
Georgia, no it doesn’t. SOS in morse code is very simple and no one can mistake it for anything else.
. . . – - – . . .
That’s SOS. It has no meaning.
I don’t mean to be nosy, but what were you fighting about?
Okay, if I get Chrissa and Emily plus 3 swimsuits it’ll be $297 before tax.
If I get Julie and Emily plus 2 swimsuits, it’ll be $288.
I’d get Julie. BTW, Chrissa’s wig is very thin, and Julie’s is thicker.
I’m going to the American Girl Place in Chicago for the first time soon. Has anyone been there? What is it like?
I’m going to Los Angeles next week on a family vacation, and we’ll be stopping by the AG Place there. I’m wanting to stock up there so I don’t have to pay shipping charges.
The arguement was about some doll outfits. I said that if I got them, it’d feel like a waste, Lena called me rude, I called her rude for calling me rude . .
i know Char’s been. I’ve only been in NY, so i can’t be of any help.
Kaya is so pretty I recomend her to anyone who has no idea what AG to get.
I’m getting Rebecca and things for her and things for Julie
Natile Ive been to the one in Chicago in December.
If I don’t get Julie now, I’ll get her for Christmas. If I get Chrissa now, I will have to buy less of her collection at Christmas, thereby freeing up room for historical stuff.
What Lily said. We’re over it, and hopefully friends again. Truce?
*Offers hand*
I’ve been to New York and Dallas (2006 and 2008).
I’m really excited, but I’m not sure what to expect.
Accepted.
Do you guys hang out here alot?
Um, I’m sure its changed alot since Ive been there at Christmas time.
Yes, I do alot!
I do. I’m homeschooled and have nothing beter to do (not that that’s a bad thing)
It’s a lot of fun the first time. For me, it’s kind of stressful because I’m always with a parent who doesn’t want to be there and thinks a kid my age shouldn’t be there, I have to decide what stuff I’m going to get, etc.
Yeah, I’m here alot. I even got on at school one time.
It’s very stressfull for everyone else in the store. Why? Because I dress extra goth when I go there, just for the fun of them staring.
I know most of you like Julie better, but do you think my reasons for getting Chrissa first make sense? Don’t get me wrong, I’m still strongly considering buying Julie.
