Thanks to Marcia, here is another photo of the new historical friend doll, Ruthie Smithens, from American Girl. Ruthie is Kit’s best friend and is being added to the collection in time for the Kit movie debut in July.

Here is a scoop photo from the American Girl site (later removed) with Ruthie circled.

I think the two look very much alike and tend to think that this is the real deal, although time will ultimately tell.

This isn’t a very big picture, but if you look closely this doll looks like she could be Ruthie, the new American Girl doll who is Kit’s best friend. Ruthie has dark brown hair with curls and looks like she is wearing a purple dress.

Time will tell if this was American Girl’s way of giving us a sneak peek without giving away the surprise.

Thanks to Ashley for sending me this to post.

I love how all the girls are wearing Kit movie t-shirts.
