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.

Rumors of Next American Girl Historical Doll

Rumor has it that the next American Girl Historical character will be Rebecca, a Jewish girl from the late 1800s to early 1900s. Since that time period is very close to the one for Samantha, I wonder if the release of this new doll is the reason for Samantha’s archiving.

No word yet on a release date, author for her books or any other details. Again, this is just rumor (one that may have been substantiated though). Stay tuned for more. Or better yet, if you know anything, leave a comment.
