Thanks to my readers for emailing me the links and photos as they find them. As the week goes on and more news outlets are writing about the new Rebecca doll, I’ll add them to the list above.

UPDATED: Here is another photo found via Lily at The Frisky (not what I would consider a kid friendly site so I am not linking to it):

What a cute outfit and the sideboard is a nice addition to her collection.

Thank you Madison, a Doll Diaries reader, for sharing a scan of a mailer she received announcing the debut of Rebecca Rubin, the next historical doll from American Girl.

She definitely is pretty and while she has some similarities to Samantha, she is truly beautiful and unique. Her story sounds very exciting – she is a Russian Jewish immigrant living in a row house on the lower east side in New York City in the early 20th century. She dreams of being an actress but her family has other ideas. I may be reading the books before my girls do!

She will come with 6 books:

• Meet Rebecca (American Girls Collection)
• Changes for Rebecca (American Girls Collection)
• Candlelight for Rebecca (American Girls Collection)
• Rebecca to the Rescue (American Girls Collection)
• Rebecca and Ana (American Girls Collection)
• Rebecca and the Movies (American Girls Collection)

UPDATED!!! Madi sent me more photos of the book covers as well as the one-chapter preview booklet (chapter name A Sabbath Surprise).
