I have now heard from a few unofficial sources that the new American Girl Ruthie doll will be coming out in May. Ruthie, who is being released as Kit’s best friend, has been reported to be coming out May 1st. I am trying to get an official confirmation of this and will update once I hear back from an official source.
One thing I did notice is that the Really Truly Ruthie (American Girls Collection) listing on Amazon no longer says it will be released in June – it has no date on the product page and just says it is available for pre-order now. Barnes and Noble and the American Girl publications site list the release date as May 19.
The pre-movie buzz for the Kit Kittredge movie this summer will be starting soon and I am sure the release of the Ruthie doll will certainly help kick it off.


















I doubt she is posing as a doll, Ash. lol!

Wow Ashleigh,
Yeah I did try kitkittredge.com I only have 3 dolls
Kit, Julie and an American Girl Today Doll
I only have 2, so yeah!
I didnt mean to send that, oops! sorry!
Continuing on:
I have Kit, and AG of today (brown hair, blue eyes, freckles), and soon to be Ruthie! lol!
Oh, and Annabelle, you are going to confuse me really bad. My sister’s whole name is Bayleigh Annabelle, and if she uses her second part of her first name, she will confuse all of us (and there is a major chance she will do it so we get confused). Ah well.
AND Annabelle is close to Anna too! This will get confusing! Tell your sister not to use the name Annabelle so we can keep things straight!
Cool!!
How was school??
I have exams next week!
I’m homeschooled. I get out June 5 and my best friend gets out May 22!How about you girls?
I love Ruthie!
how old are you, Annabelle?
haha)
(And Marcia, dont worry… just dont say anything. If you say something THEN she will. If you dont, she might not realize
Realise what?
Please tell me….
Im 13 by the way!!
How old are you guys??
OK bye 4 now
I’m 13 too!
I’m 13
and my sis Bayleigh… her name is Bayleigh Annabelle, and she likes to confuse people, so she may just use Annabelle as her name lol! but I doubt she will. dont worry!
Well, I emailed AG and their being all idk how 2 put this… annoying, prissy, stuborn?

American Girl’s first big screen movie will feature Kit® and will
premiere on July 2, 2008. New product releases at American Girl® are
very exciting events and we know that our customers are eager for their
details as soon as possible. While we can confirm that we will be
releasing a book related to the movie entitled “Really Truly Ruthie”, we
do not have information to share at this time regarding other products
that will be released in conjunction with the movie.
It has been our custom to release the best friend doll of our Historical
Character with the premiere of our movies. However, whether it is the
Girl of the Year, a new Historical Character or simply a new outfit or
accessory, future products are not revealed prior to their launch on the
website and in the catalogue. In the event that a Ruthie doll would be
released with the movie, any pre-sale or reservation system for her
purchase would be announced on our website as soon as the information is
available.
Thank you for your interest. We hope that you enjoy the show this
summer!
