Will There Be Two New American Girl Historicals in 2010?
One thing I am certain of when it comes to the American Girl doll collecting community is that once there is rumor of a new doll, they become very impatient for new information. We just want to know all the details as soon as possible.
For 2010 what we know so far, is that we are highly likely to get 2 new historical characters, Denise and Sarah. What we don’t know is if they are both historical dolls complete with the 6-book series and their own line OR if one of them is a friend doll who is going against the normal pattern and getting 6 stories instead of one. What do you think?
We don’t have much more info than that right now. We don’t know what era they are from or any book plots yet.
And in retirement news, if everything follows the pattern set to this point, Molly is the most logical choice for retirement this year. This has not been confirmed – it is just speculation.
As always, if you find any more details, let me know. Most of the info in this post has been gleaned from a variety of sources including reader comments, emails and information found readily on the internet.
I’m hoping for a New Orleans doll.
I think they’ll both be from different eras. What I hope for is 1804 & 1964. Because I’m selfish
So if they put two new dolls,will they have any new ones when(if)Molly retires?
I think one of these dolls will likely be a replacement for Kirsten – in terms of a doll close to her time period – like Rebecca was kind of a replacement for Sam. I think the other doll will be a modern era doll – either 50’s or 60’s.
I hope they will!
One of the PS’s at a store told another woman in the AG collecting community to stock up on Felicity/Elizabeth and her things. We all expect it to be Molly. But, with what I read, it could very likely be Felicity.
I want a 50s/60s girl to show up!
No offence intended, but you can’t always trust waht PS says. After Sam was anounced, people called both CS and their PS, and some were told that it was a joke, they weren’t palnning to archive a doll.
8th, lol
i think there is a pretty good chance Lissie and Lizzie will be archieved. Felicity was released pretty soon after the original three, and to a lot of people she is considered one of the original dolls…either way, i’m planning to stock up on both Molly and Felicity’s collection.
Me too, Maya. I’m stocking up on Molly & Lissie this year, and Addy the next year. In the order that they came out in.
who came after Addy?
me too…im giong to stock up on lissie and lizzie and molly etc.
and chrissa’s stuff and lanie
Sam
Kirsten
Molly
Lissie
Addy
Fina
Kit
Kaya
Julie
Beckie
In order they came out.
Sam
Kirsten
Molly
Lissie
Addy
Fina
Kit
Kaya
Julie
Beckie
In order they came out & order I’m collecting in (cept Kit, cause she was my first)
chrissa’s stuff is gone, unfortunately, Sarah
thanks Lena
Sarah is probably for Addy, and Denise will be instead of Kirsten.
i like Lanie’s collection so much more then I liked Chrissa’s. Chrissa’s collection (minus the swimsuit, which i LOVED) was not what most kids wear today. Most of Lanie’s collections are more down to earth.
I doubt Sarah’s Addy’s friend. Sarah was a pretty common name historically. Everyone from Lissie to Julie probobly knew some Sarahs.
i don’t think Sarah will be for Addy. If Addy IS archieving after Lissie+Lizzie/Molly + Emily then there isn’t much point in giving her a best friend.
sorry, didn’t see your comment Lena,
Also, as people have mentioned in the past, Sarah and Denise don’t have to be their real names.
no, i think addy will stay or the blacks would get mad, since theres we even have a black President.
well, I am pretty certain they WILL release another AA historical or GOTY before they archeive Addy. They ARE going to archieve Addy eventually. And I know a lot of people were pretty upset when they found out Lanie was Caucasion, a lot of people wanted an AA GOTY. I bet they’ll release one soon.
Obama’s half black. And if this rumored NOLA doll is creole, she could likley be half black. That would give them a chance to archive Addy without much drama.
I bet Sonali was a test to see how well a “colored” GOTY would sell. (Jess was white, and one could argue for Marisol being white)
*Jess’s skintone was light, I mean. I know a few European people who have those eyes.
still, Kaya and Addy wont retire, or people would protest
People protested Sam. She was still archived.
no i mean blacks and NA will protest. Sonali was an Indian Limited Edition, so nobody protested her.
they’ll retire. They don’t sell as well as the other dolls for a start, and say we get a WW girl. Then they could release a Native to go along with her story, similar to Kirstens.
Jess is considered ‘white’ for most people, i think
Sonali sold really well (i think), so i’m hoping we’ll get an AA GOTY, ’cause I’d get her!
also, people protest all the time about archieving dolls. there were tons of online petitions etc. and it doesn’t stop them from archieving dolls, it all has to be planned in advance
sure, people would get angry, but AG would then release an AA from the 60s or something
ww?
That’s not what I said when I said Sonali, but whatever.
Like I said, if they bring out another historical who’s black, people won’t protest as much as they would if they archived the only black girl.
Wild West
And I started that rumor in my wishful thinking about Kirsten’s replacement.
i think that by the time Addy is archieved, most people would have realized protesting doesn’t work, and by that time we’ll have a new AA historical. and anyway, what will protesting do? They decided who’s going to be retired months and months in advance, and an angry mob won’t change their minds or anything
it was a great rumor, Lena!
I don’t think people will ever realize protesting works not. There was many petitions against Sam, then a year later when we learned of Kirsten, the samething. Doesn’t matter that e-petitions never work.
I do kinda agree with your native friend idea. I never thought of that!
thanks,
To Rachel: don’t think we don’t want you here because we disagree with you. I’m a lot older than most of you, and I tend to strong opinions. And I tend to state facts. But like Maya just proved, I don’t think of some things, and a native friend for my WW doll is a great idea.
Also, I’m sick and cranky. I’m not usually this mean.
oops left out Lanie…im disapointed she turned out to be a generic blonde
mebe thell make another AA doll was like during Martin Luther King Times
That’s what I’m hoping for. An AA doll durring the civil rights movement, prefrably with a white friend.
still, i want addy to have a friend. also, rebecca might get a best friend Ana
Ana’s not her best friend though. Rose is. And Ana’s meant to be Rebecca’s twin.
I would like an Ana, though it’s unlikely there will ever be a doll for her. She looks so much like Rebecca! Especially on the cover of her second book. I agree, Lena, an AA doll with a white friend would be especially interesting, to see the controversy involved!
I actually think the best friends line is over. Kirsten was archived without a friend, Rebecca was introduced with out a friend. Makes me think that the lin is over.
no, ruthie was intoruced later after molly, and so was emily. besides, ana like has almost her own book in one or rebecca’s stories.
But Julie was released with Ivy.
The primary motivator is not protests. It’s just simple economics and marketing.
AG needs to have at least one AA historical to serve the market of people looking for an AA doll. If they had zero AA historicals, they would lose more customers than they would lose if they simply had one fewer white historical.
I agree with the people who said that Addy probably won’t be retired until a second AA historical is introduced.
yay
I hope the best friend line isn’t over. The fact that Julie was released with Ivy might be some weird marketing-thingy. Are there any other dolls released with a best friend? I don’t know of any other ones besides Julie and Ivy.
Julie & Ivy were the only ones.
Ok, I do believe this, but I’m not sure if there will be two dolls. In summer 2009 rebecca was introduced. We sort of saw Rebecca was a little copy of Samantha. Although they didn’t have the same plot, they were in the same time era. of coarse, the time era affected them both. So, basically, Rebecca is just a new copy of samantha. This is what I think will happen this year. I mean like, a little copy of Kirsten except a new one with a different plot. Just a more modern one. Maybe there will be a best friend doll. I doubt this will be another historical character. I also don’t really think that there would be six books for a best friend doll. I’m just saying what’s on my mind. Oh yes, here is some news for you- Molly will be put in the american girl archives this holiday. Yes, Molly will be gone by 2011.
sorry 4 the confusing i might get chrissa’s stuff on ebay yea it kinda sound like i was saying that she was still at the websight lol
ps sorry maya if it sounded confusung me but thanks anyway
ingnore the me part after the confusing i dont know why i put that lol
ps i might have some mispelled words too lol
i was going to get julie but lissie might retire soon so i think ill get her wut do u guys think?
I think you should get Lissie,Sarah.Shes probaly going to retire soon,so you should get her before the outragious prices on Ebay go.Julie is not going to retire intil a couple of years.
hhmm. I think that you should get molly or emily. you can get Lizzie and Lissie too!
There going to retire like this i think:
Molly #1
#2 lissie
or switched
i agree with a% fan but i think that lizzie will retire after molly
i mean i agree with AGFANFOREVER
Also click my name.Theres some information about the new dolls.
I think Sarah is going to be Addy’s friend i told my parents they were happy about it..I cant wait!!!!
AGRANFOREVER:
how do you do it so your name will be purple and clickable, how do you become a member at dolldiares.com?
See the thingee above where you comment where it says:
Name (required)
Email Address (required)
Website
You put in a website, and your name become the link.
AGfanforever, that’s not news, its speculation. Like I said before, Addy’s not getting a friend this time around.
Yes,what Lena said.
Oops my comment went on exactly when you did Lena.Yes about the Link thing.
Sorry about that.
Its OK. I think she knows you were talking about the link-name thing.
thanx
hey guys!!!!
anybody on
i am
well im going to watch a movie……i will then see ya guys tommorow wish i could stay on longer bye awawawawa
talk to you tommorow agrachel
Me to, kinda. I’m working on making my own historicals out of Maplelea’s 2 outfits.
ok !!
I’m thinking that new girl will have a wavy honey brown/brown hair tied with ribbon,blue or soft green eyes,classic mold..
And I already wrote this on another page but there’s no one going there anymore now so…
I think it will be cool if they have a game where you can design your doll and outfits,except that AG wouldn’t be selling them. Maybe Design Dolls and Outfits???
i think it will be addy’s friend
i am sad my cat died =^.^=
I think it will be cool to have AA GOTY with Kit-short (but not textured) hair,or long braided hair(probably textured that way).
And I’m thinking,if AG can make games like this:You design a doll(online) and outfits and name her and make stories for her,except that of course AG can’t make them.
I’d say that one of them will be from 1876 for a wild west/gold rush era. (I sent in the idea for a doll like that almost a year ago).
I wish Denise(the Louisiana Purchase girl) has wavy honey brown/brown hair,classic mold,soft green eyes,eye form(I don’t know what is called) that is like Kit’s,eyelashes like Gwen and Felicity’s.
And I hope Sarah is AA from civil rights(I agree with someone who came up with this idea)…and to go with that,she’s an AA(not Addy’s friend).
I would squee so loud you’d probably hear me if they did that.
is anybody on?
that would be awesome
I’d love a black girl from the ’20s. For one thing- imagine her hair! Also,her story might be about the rise of the Ku Klux Klan, which would be interesting. Maybe she could have a Catholic or Jewish best friend.
AG is starting to know that we’re getting sneaky. it’s february, national african american month. for all we know, they could release a new AA doll tomorrow. it’s unlikely, but how much do u wonna bet that the marketers are looking at our comments and laughing. they are getting more and more careful about leaking info online. so hey, maybe we will have a new AA doll some day in february. that’d be cool
And I wanted them to make a gold rush girl ever since I actually thought about thinking about new character,and I still want them to do so
And I was going through Pepper reviews then there were 2 negative reviews on the first page that didn’t make sense to me-1.Pepper was too big. 2.Because of Pepper’s name,I guess. Just click my name…
It’s sort of like tops of AG are top secret agent or something-they won’t tell anything out until the big day.
I’m sure knowing all the secret stuff is fun…
“And in retirement news, if everything follows the pattern set to this point, Molly is the most logical choice for retirement this year. This has not been confirmed – it is just speculation.”
first ag doll= Samantha
2nd= Kirsten
3rd =Molly
2008- Retired Samantha, first AG doll
2009- Retired Kirsten- Second Ag doll
2010- Retired Molly Third AG doll?
from 2010- 2011 Retires Felicity
clickee namee. it says some stuff about ag history
I can see that by 2050’s,we wouldn’t be able to see Rebecca if AG keep retiring characters
I wish they had catalogue online! I mean,MyTwinn has it online,so why not AG? Plus they don’t need to update a lot,even if some parts change.
I’m wondering if AG know about DD??? If they do read the comments and finds out that we’re not exactly right about those characters,I think they’ll be happy because the info isn’t leaked or something…BTW,in old Rebecca post,I thought someone guessed that Rebecca wants to be a actress and things like that before storyline came out??
whos DD?
thay wanna retire cause people get bored of the same dolls i guess.
DD stands for Doll Diaries-this website
Is it alright if I have this link? And yes, I am.
No offense to anyone, but I don’t really like Addy’s face mold. That’s why I don’t have any AAs.
I wonder what an AA would look like with the classic mold or the Josefina mold. Hmmm.
You’re right, Rachel. My best guess is that AG wants to keep the market fresh with NEW NEW NEW!!!!!
also because sam, kirsten and molly have been around Soooooo long, that a bunch of people already have her (i think)
i do like some of the AA molds, but not addy’s. I would like an AA girl with textured hair, but not so thick like some of the JLYs. Maybe in two braids or just out. It would be cool if they had curly hair, like Rebecca, but unlikely.
I think the Klu Klux Klan would be interesting, but would probably only be touched upon because what they did was pretty horrible. I doubt they would even mention them.
i hope ur right Alex, nice thinking!
Wait has anyone thought of the fact that Sarah is the name of Addy’s friend? maybe Addy’s friend is coming out next! and if so possibly a movie (although there has been many rumers about Julies movie) and Maya is right
Actually, I was thinking that as well!
I like the link you have Rachel, by the way
It’s been mentioned several times. I strongly doubt Addy’s geting a friend.
Maya, the only AA mold is the Addy mold. AG’s notorious for they bad photos. Addy looks really cute in person.
Alexis- a lot of people have thought of that i think…(i hope that didn’t come out mean, by the way) and it’s a possibility, we’ll have to wait and see
Personally, I think that’s very unlikely. As Lena has pointed out, Sarah is a popular name, and if the archieving of dolls continues its pattern, then Addy will be retired after Lissie/Molly in 2012, which wouldn’t really give us very much time with a new doll, two years.
I doubt it, and I kind of hope that Sarah isn’t Addy’s friend and is instead an AA doll from another era.
oh, my mistake Lena, they kindof look different on the internet.
i hope we get another colonial doll, maybe after the revolution or something. (after lissie is archieved)
Yeah thats what I thought too but I doubted it A bit because if thats true than Addy isn’t going to have a frien but then again Kirsten never got a friend either.
*friend
Hmm. But I think why should they make a weird Sarah doll with short hair like a boy’s. She would have no stuff. But I still want her.
I guess your right
i don’t think i would get a doll with such short hair. For me, one of the best things about dolls is their hair.
i hope they make lots of new dolls but i love lissie and lizzie oh well i least i have them
oh guys I am changing my Name to LExie because thats what my friends call me.
Maya- me too i love playing with their hair:)
hey click on my name the website isn’t accurate but it is pretty cool
btw, she would look weird. but we could pretend she’s a boy since there’s no boy ag dolls, I mean big ones.
not saying it wouldn’t be cool or anything…but i also think that she wouldn’t sell very well with the target audience, which are younger girls. And younger girls LOVE to play with dolls hair
alexis- i love that website..it is a pretty cool website
Ya, but I love history. For me, American History is very interesting, so I like Addy, bad mold, or not.
who here has sonali i love her she is my fav doll!!
That site is very accurate, but it hasn’t been updated with all the modern stuff yet.
They still haven’t made an Oregon Trail Girl ( I THINK AG Decided to put Kirsten instead of a Oregon Trail and traveling girl.
A girl who lives in one place has more stuff than a girl who travels. Simple math.
Lena-did Nellie have the Josefina facemold?
Yes, she did.
no, they just updated it this year
http://curtdanhauser.com/AG_Collecting/Jul.html
look, Julie’s outfit and bleachers and Xmas gift have been retired. How can AG get away secretly retiring stuff?
plus, Lanie has been added
i dint think that they wanna do the JLY stuff update, just the historicals
thanks
AGHHH! im REALLY getting sick of AG retiring the good ‘ol classic dolls and making more! STOP! i dont WANT new dolls! i want the same that web always had! anyone agree?
i never got Nelile
i have her and she is soooo pretty…you should get her on ebay she is worth it so is sam!
what happened to this french girl?
i want nellie a lot, but i decided to wait till she is re-released with sam
Mackenzie- look at this in AG’s perspective. After a while most of the AG Doll Collecting Girls out there have the old dolls, they’re not making money out of the dolls anymore and why retire only the doll and not the rest of the collection? I miss Sam and Kirsten and Nellie, but it meant that AG was able to release my beautiful Rebecca.
my sister has Sam and Kirsten, so right now the only retired doll I REALLY miss is Nellie
I think Sarah & Denise may be code names. They aren’t on the official trademark list.
it was mean to take away sam for a rebecca doll that almost looks like her and the same era. sam had so many cute clothes. i never got them
has anyone even bought a very good used AG doll for like a $1 or less?
Nope. I’ve never seen one for bellow $20, in really played with condition.
i mean like on garage sale, like almost like new doll
That was at a garage sale. And no, never new. Once I saw a gently played with Marisol for $40, but she was already sold.
I GOT MY FIRST SAMANTHA DOLL with dress, shoes, stockings and undies, with uncut hair, almost like new condition for 25 cents at a garage sale!
i saw a lindsey doll once, for 30$, but she wasn’t in great condition.
I’ve also seen a kit doll for 35$ but then when somebody remarked it was cheap they changed the price to 80$
i hope that sarah and denise are code names. Sarah is a really pretty name and i called one of my cats Sarah, but it is a very common doll name. As for Denise, that’s a pretty name too, but it doesn’t seem like a doll name to me.
I hope it is one of the names you found, Lena, they’re really pretty
what are code names?
cover up names, just like people thought Chrissa’s name would be Lulu (that’s what i heard, atleast)
i think the names that were found were:
-Laurette
-Marie-Grace
-Cecile
-Emmaline
ya i forgot cecil
anyway, ‘night, i have exams tomorrow…
is there a yawning smiley???
:O ?
:0
im trying which ones work
;o
lol, see ya!
LOL see ya!
As we know there is the Just Like You Dolls and the Historical Dolls. I’d love for there to be Culture Dolls. There have been attempts in the past with Girls of Many Lands, but I’d like the full 18″ Doll for different cultures. Such as a German doll with dirndal, India doll with sahri and elephant and bangles, London doll and so on. Anyone else agree? You’d get to learn about different peoples cultures and accepting them, which is what American Girl is all about.
Hey Rachel in an earlier post you said “how can AG get away with secertly retiring stuff” well if you want to see whats being retired next just go to http://www.americangirl.com then to SHOP and click LAST CHANCE SAVINGS
Why doesn’t some one look at when the names “Sarah and Denise” were most popular that MAY give us in insight look on what year they may be.
Hello!
I can’t believe it! I am upset though… my mom says no more dolls after Julie. I’m planning on getting beds and clothing and furnature until she forgets about what she said! LOL
lanie is my last doll.. and im going to get beds etc. until sh 4gots 2 lol i thought i was thw only one here lol
some words are mispelled so here is wut i really said:
Julie-Lanie is my last doll…and im going to get other stuff for the dolls until my mom 4gots 2 lol im soooo upset too:(
atleast someone here is getting no more dolls im glad im not theonly one lol
agrachel- my friend found a jly(in very good shape) for a dollar!!!
and other friend found penny(lissie horse) for 15 dollars
im not lying really thay did!!!
i think it would be cool if denise was a french girl !!! my aunt has that name and my mom has a french name too!! …………………… i think that would be cool ! because ag hasn’t had a french doll i don’t think ,,,, anyways i thought that would be cool .
and maybe her friend could be sarah !!!! exept she wouldn’t be french …. anyways if people don’t like my thinkings ………. oh well that would be cool though guess what!!
i ordered lanie her butterfly outfit and accesories !!! my sister ordered julie and accesories ( wich are backordered
) yum i just tried my first bite of marshmallow fluff well since i live in canada !!! we are sooooooooooo excited i can’t wait til they come !!! watch my channel two opening vids will be up !! also she is my first ag doll!!!
on ebay?
how can i make a good essay and photos for Lanie contest?
I’m saving up money. I got some Of Kirsten’s collection and promised to pay my dept. So ya, you can promise to give money later.
Hello girlies! I have an idea.. It is called, “AskJulie!”
You guys can post a comment on here and write:
Dear Julie,
(Insert Q or Comment Here)
The only reason why it is on this site it because, I am not allowed to have my own website.. and the questions would be based on Doll Diaries info and other comments, and plain American Girl.
Do you like the idea?
i love felicity I hope they don’t retire her, i got her and elizabeth a while back and a bunch of lissie and lizzies clothing too.
I really love addy, I have her, shes so pretty!
I also love kits whole collection, all the cooking sets and laundry are so cool, and ruthies pretty cute
I still want lanies camper and starter set!
So… just ask away! (No personal info will be asked for.. just an answer in responce!)
Ooo and I like Rebecca and her stuff a lot too because shes just like me!
Sometimes I go on Ag site and make what I’d call my ag dream room,and add pieces for a kitchen, living room etc, i love lanies camper because of the mini kitchen and shower! I have the perfect ag bedroom at my house though!
all I know is im getting addys flower oufit before/if they retire her
honestly i hate when they retire dolls because what if in 2 years from now i want molly then id have to spend a lot of money on ebay for her. ugg
Sarah will likely be a best friend doll because that was the name of Addys best friend in her books, but saddly I don’t know anything about Denise.
addy needs more accessories and clothing
oh i also have felicitys horse penny because my neighbor was giving beanie babies and stuff away and i spotted penny and she was in great condition so i took her!
if emily is getting retired im going to definatly atleast get her mini doll
hello
Ashleigh, good to know I’m not the only one that does that.
anybody on?
i like lizzie! she has like the biggest collection!
hello
I just noticed something odd. Except for the original three dolls ( Kirsten, Molly, and Samantha), none of the historical dolls have bangs. Isn’t that strange?
Not really. None of the dolls would have it be fashionable to have bangs. Sam is the only one who would have had them for the fashion of it. Pre-Addy dolls would never have bangs, and post-Sam they really weren’t en vouge until the 80’s.
Lanie has bangs
also, felicity have spiral curls bangs
so ya
Hey everyone have u ever been on:
http://www.americangirlfan.com
it’s sooooo awesome! (:
How do u make the yawning smiley?

Katheryn-from waaaaaaay back-how do you know Molly is retiring next?
Lissie didn’t have real bangs, she had pincurls.
Hey Lena,
What are the next top 5 dolls you want to get?
Mine are-
Sonali
Caramel haired JLY
Rebecca
Felicity
Kit
Hello!
Hello
seems like i can never chat with anyone……….
lena – i know there curls
Hey Grace and evryone
What are the next top 5 dolls you want to get?
Mine are-
Felicity
Emily
Molly
Addy
hello, anyone on?
hi ingrid
I don’t know if I will ever get another doll. I’m going to High School next year, so it seems like I’m getting pretty old for AG dolls. Also, I think 4 is enough.
i will. my dream is to collect all of the historical ag stuff until i am an adult.
You are never too old for dolls.
I want 25 and that’s it.
The dolls I want are:
Lanie
Felicity
JLY # 22 (Anna)
JLY # 28 (Hope)
JLY # 23 (Abigail)
Nicki
OH NO! My little sister, who is six, just read my above comment and said that SHE wants Felicity. Problem is, Mom doesn’t want her to have any long haired dolls(she has # 21 and Kit) yet. Felicity might be archived soon though, and I don’t want to hurt my sister’s feelings, so what do I do?
Grace:
YES! I haven’t gotten an AG catalogue in so long! I order items from them all the time and sign up for the catalogues but I never get them. I’m glad that I’m not the only one having this problem.
Click my name!!!
I also don’t want to buy a $200 Felicity in the future on Ebay, so that is out of the question.
Michaela, maybe you can buy Lissie for your sister now, and give her to your sister when she’s a little older.
Felicity’s gorgeous, i agree with Lena, just save her until the right time.
My five dolls are:
-Lanie
-Felicity
-Elizabeth
-Emily
-? I don’t know, I’m waiting to see the new historicals, and if I like them then maybe they’ll make my list…
Alexis-are the last chance savings really outfits that are going to be retired, or outfits on sale? It wasn’t clear.
Last Chance are going to be retired soon. Spotlight Savings is just the sale.
Ava-You’re never to old for dolls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My cousin graduated 8 years ago, and before she did, gave away all her AG stuff, some of her doll clothes went to me and my sister.
But now she regrets it, ’cause she’s an AG Collector, and has to start her collection all over again.
thnx, Lena
Update: Julie might be my number five on the list, i dunno, she’s never striked me as a favorite, but she’s pretty and has a great story.
i hope Rebecca gets a BF, its unlikely, but i hope…
I like Josefina’s mold, i think the nose looks smaller, but im fine with that personally. Not everybody has the same nose.
actually Maya it is likely Rebecca will get a friend (ana) because she is very popular and MOST other dolls do……………but I guess she might not.
Lena, I can’t. My sister will think it is for me and throw a fit. Even if I try to explain to her that it is half hers half mine, it won’t work.
Wait, that’s a good idea! Half hers half mine…. I think I solved my own mystery!
I (again saying this) doubt Ana will get made. She looks EXACTLY like Rebecca.
it’s not very likely…
i mean, AG changed Elizabeth’s illustrations because she looked so much like Felicity originally, but i doubt AG would do that for Ana. I agree that Rebecca’s BF would sell VERY well if she had one.
emma-that’s great news! (about lanie)
Well they COULD change ana a bit but I dont know if she’ll be made or not I mean you never know with AG
too true…
she could have longer hair, maybe a shade darker. Her eyes could be blue or green. Maybe her hair could be less curly-wavy. Maybe her hair could be redder or something. I dunno. But I doubt they would make her.
i need to go to a team practice (soccer). We have a game on Friday and I’m NERVOUS!!!
g2g, bye!
I ACTUALLY ASKED American Girl if there is going to be a friend Ana for Rebecca. They said- our staff is working hard to make new products for AG, so it is all a secret!
Why would Mattel photoshop over books that were published a year ago? It makes little sense.
Sound like a form letter to me, Rachel.
ya, its like copy paste
Rachel,
If you ask AG anything about upcoming products they will just tell you that they appreciate your comments and are working hard to create new products because of course AG isn’t just going to say yes! we are heres our ideas….. Therefore we are trying to figure it out
I do wish they would though.
I just skipped the last few comments so sorry if I reiterate anything. xP
And I learn so much American history through AG’s that surely girls would learn tons about other cultures through Culture Dolls.
I would love Culture dolls! I’m British, so a London doll would be sweet
The thought of AG spying on us seems fairly Big Brother-esque, but makes sense. I can just imagine them laughing at all our ideas. And then realising that some are actually really rational and clever and make products based around what we think!
Personally, I’d love a French immigrant doll, perhaps from around the French Revuloution which is close to Lissie’s time?
And why the heck does everyone keep saying Sam and Becky are in the same time period? So, US history is different to UK, and I’m going by UK history, but still..
Sam is Edwardian. Edwardian. Not Victorian, but Edwardian. And she is rich and lives in the suburbs and is an orphan, so her story is different to Becky’s.
And Becky is a WW1 doll. Yes, America didn’t join the war until 1917, but she is still from the Great War. And she’s a poor child, with immigrant parents living in the city, and family is very important to her! They are two different dolls.
BTW, has anyone looked at the AGPUblishing stie recently? There are a bunch of new books coming out. Some are Sugar, Honey & Ginger’s books, there are some new historical mysteries and activities, and some new books for girls as well as a new parenting book.

ya
i also asked them that if Molly will retired and they said AG might retire any doll, blah blah
Yep thats what they do Rachel…………….I mean it’s almost useless to contact them.
but how come some people asked AG about Lanie and got hints, I read 1 article where it said that they asked AG and they confirmed that her name was Lanie
That was because it was sooo close to 2010 and most of her had been leaked.
Rachel, that was probably because the book titles were already out.
no, they werent. but still, how can they get clues?
We found the book titles in early November. They were likely out, and the CS could tell the person what her name was, because collectors already knew.
If they told you right now what the new historicals are, they could loose their jobs. No one is meant to know yet.
ok..
i got chrissa’s party treats yesterday! they are SO CUTE i wish they didnt sell out i got them just in timeee
from now on i’ll refer to myself as Rachel
My top five dolls I want are:
Lanie
Nicki
Rebecca
sorry I mean top 3
my top 7 dolls i want are:
Emily
Lanie
Molly
Felicity
Elizabeth
Addy
sorry i mean 6
guess we both make mistakes
My top 5 are,
Marisol
Kaily
Emily
Kit
Kirsten
i mean i want to get that arent retired
I know
My top 5 that I DON’T have are(that isn’t retired/archived):
1.Elizabeth
2.Julie
3.Lanie
4.Molly
5.Kit
When they release new character,they don’t usually release with large amount of things,like Rebecca/Lanie did. Rebecca was released about month before summer stuff like school table for jly came out…
So it’s likely that new historical will be out on april/may/june/august/november/
but we never know for sure,I’m just guessing
WOW! wouldnt it be cool if they got a girl who went on the Mayflower? and then her mom was accused of being a witch?? a 50’s gal would be 2qt, but then again molly is like, 10 years earlier so AG wouldnt do that – my oppinion
According to a baby name website, Denise spiked in popularity in the 50’s, 60’s, and 70’s, and started going down in the 80’s. It is now about 370 in popularity.
So I guess a Denise doll would be most likely from the 50’s- 80’s.
Which makes sense, since all the Denises that I know are in their 30’s and early 40’s now, so they would have been born in the 70’s.
If Denise was born in the 70’s, would that make her a doll from 1984???
As much as I loved the 80’s, I’m not sure I ‘m ready for a historical doll from that era.
i think that molly is gonna retire
Libby, THANK YOU. Sam & Beckie are not the same time, and they live in different circumstances. (lol, Big Brother)
I’m worried about an 80’s doll, I do not want to see that. But I still think these are codenames.
I don’t have Molly, and I’ve never wanted her. I already have Emily and a few of her outfits, and I’m good with that. So, if Emily and Molly are retired, I won’t go crazy about them leaving like I did with Samantha, Nellie, and Kirsten. I just want Emily’s robe and slippers and Molly’s sweater and skirt set. Other than that, I’m fine.
I’m starting to wonder if Sarah or Denise is the French girl. After all, their names could be code names.
i don’t want an 80s girl, first because I don’t think their collection would be very interesting as what kids wear today is similar to what was worn in the 80s, therefore, if they make an 80s doll they should do that in maybe 3-4 years, when we’ve moved past that.
i think denise and sarah are code names.
No, i disagree with a replacement doll being in the same era or around the same times. I don’t think our new historical will have lived ten years after or ten years before Kirsten. Sorry.
I agree Michaela. I like Molly, she’s pretty, but i don’t want her. I love going to my friend’s houses and playing with Molly. But I want to get Sam when she’s released, or get her on eBay or something, and they look very similar. I do want Emily though. I won’t miss Molly that much.
by the way, Molly’s swimsuit is really cute! That’s one piece from her collection that i adore!
I luv Molly skating outfit!
i like the muff and skates!
I always wondered how that girl could skate with bare legs.
10 years after Kirsten is Addy, so we likley won’t see that. I’m thinkin 1804-14, because that’s when NOLA was most important, and the most was going on there. But I could be wrong, they could give us a French ballerina from 1894.
that would be a big hit with the younger kids
yes, i’ve always wondered that too, lena
some of mia’s stuff didn’t make sense to me either
Like which of Mia’s things? I know her story made little sense in how easy it portrayed skating.
What’s NOLA? And, by the way, Mia is my favorite of all RETIRED AG Today dolls cause she has those pretty ice skating things.
NOLA = New Orleans, Louisiana.
I didnt read her book, but I want to be an ice skater. I love Mia!
thnx Lena
i love her books, but i agree, it does seem a little easy in the story (skating)
Lena-her practice outfit is a short sleeved off the shoulder shirt, and sweat pants. The sweat pants I get, but if I ever go ice skaing on a pond when it’s hard enough to skate I’ll freeze if I wear only a long sleeved shirt, i need layers.
Also, her two in one skating outfit was a short denim skirt. Again, that’s too cold for me to handle, i dunno about other places in the US at winter time.
i love her stuff, i just think they’re a little un-realistic.
she’s beautiful, anyway
she’s my favorite, along with jess (because of the meet outfit which i ADORED) and nicki i guess, i loved her meet outfit too. I loved all the GOTYs meet outfits aside from Kailey’s and Chrissa’s.
Well, the skate practice outfit she’d wear at a rink, not outdoors. When you move around on ice, you get warm. The skirt is still a question to me too. I always pair those shirts with jeans. But I’ve been outdise in -3C weather in thick wool tights and a skirt before (with a big fluffy ski coat).
I like them all. Chrissa’s isn’t so bad if you use it as a tunic and pair it with jeans.
in the illustrations of her first book, she is pictured in her practice outfit on the pond near her home. Maybe she wore it on the rink, but not in the book. I was givin Kailey’s as a b-day present (not the doll) from a friend, it was new in the box because she’s purchased it seperately years ago, and the material was thin and i ended up never using it.
My sister had Chrissa, but gave her to one of her best friends a few months back. I didn’t like the color and print on Chrissa’s dress, but everybody’s opinion is different…
I like Chrissa, Mia and Lanie
oh yeah, i like Lanie too!
How can I make a good essay for the Lanie project? I dont know what to do! I’ve never did any contests before!
I know the rules, but just dont know how to make it look good and stuff
i haven’t checked the site about it, what’s the essay supposed to be about?
i don’t think i’m entering. it’s doubtful that i’ll actually win anything. Me and my bad luck
i think i’ll save up for her anyway, so good luck to everybody who’s entering!
Your “good” essay doesn’t really matter, they pick the winners randomly anyway. But here’s some tips: focus on your subject, don’t stray. Check spelling by hand. Spell check may not alway be your friend. make it your own essay, don’t use texbook style.
actually mias skate practice outfit was for at home it even pictures her skating in it at the pond in her backyard, but it could be for the arena too. Also her skirt has tights that go with it.
her meet outfit had tights, not her 2 in one skate outfit
i’m confused, do you have to take pictures of five different things on the list? or only one of the five?
im really upset about the random winners, skill doesn’t seem to matter at all! I guess it would take too long to read hundreds of essays and choose the best photos, but im still upset
Wait a minute, how do you know that AG picks the winners “randomly?” They may, and probably do, read each of them to find the content they are looking for. I mean, do you work at AG? How would you know that? Maya, just do the best you can, and I’m sure your essay will be very good!
No, I don’t work at AG (my cousin does). From AG’s website about Lanie’s photo contest:
“Winners will be randomly selected from all photo contest entries!”
I wonder if one of the new dolls will be meant to replace Kirsten, like Rebecca was meant to replace Sam. What I mean is I wonder if there will be a doll about immigration, like Kirsten. But Rebecca has kind of covered immigration, with Ana and everything. I’m just curious.
thanks Lizzie, i’ll try. I just realized that the first prize for the first 5 winners is Lanie’s entire collection, ill try, i love taking pictures anyway…
That’s cool that your cousin works there Lena!
i get no credit.. i guess
I keep telling everyone that Sam and Kirsten got archived because AG was weighing which American Girls to get rid of and realized that Sam and Kirsten’s stories are the least important in American history. Kirsten’s story is very general of the 1800s, but most of the things talked about in her story was covered in Josefina’s story, and Josefina has more detailed important history. The most important event in the 1800s was Western Expansion and the Civil War, Josefina and Addy’s. Samantha was also not very important and could very easily be talked about in Rebecca’s story, which they discovered the Pre-WWI era was much more important. Talking about Jews was much more important
All of the minorities like Josefina, Addy, Rebecca, and Kaya will more than likely not retire because then AG would have to answer to the minorities. And AG is not ging to make anymore. That is a touchy situation.
WWII is far too important of history for them to retire.
I’m telling you, I remember AG telling me they create dolls whose history has to play a role for a whole era. That’s why they turned down my trans-continental idea for an Asian, and my Pacific Island idea. Sad to say, they told me themselves that the Louisiana Purchase only happened in one state and is too similar to Western Expansion idea. Remember, all this information has to travel beyond a six-book series, and it has to be far more important than Kirsten.
I really think Addy might be getting a movie if Sarah will be introduced. Or they might be twins. But I don’t know any important times.
I doubt these dolls will really exist.
And I keep telling everybody that they’re gonna retire Molly cause shes the third one and is too old, and they will make a new one with more stuff- like Samantha and Beckie. An Addy doesn’t have a twin but she has a friend Sarah
a new ww girl instead of molly
Again, explain the ISBN.
Kirsten’s story IS important. It tells the story of the millions who came here from Europe the start farming.
And honestly, CS & PS lie. They often don’t know things, so they make them up to please little kids. AGs cover 2 years, not an era. And marketing for them is the event that circles their lives, like WWII for Molly.
I HAVE BIG NEWS
I asked AG about Molly’s retirement, and they said- We retire by what kinds of sales we have and what we want to do( something like that) . what they mean is that if a doll is unpopular or does not sell, or if they have other plans, they archive. they do whatever they wanna do. I think they wanna get rid of first 3 dolls cause there boring already. they have been like for 5 years before lizzie, so people might get tired of them. Its like, I bought Sam, Kirsten and Molly, can they be there forever?
who are CS & PS ?
Customer Service & Personal Shopper. And like I said, they lie. It was no secret that Sam was the best selling doll they had.
Samantha was really popular. She has a lot of stuff. they wanna get rid of first 3 dolls, they dont care. they might make an AG doll that is also in World War
lauren- i know 1 important time! the revolutionary war! Its importnat how we fought for our freedom! they didnt make a doll during this era, so they would ignore the WW Molly
World War I = 1914-1918. As in, Rebecca’s time. And Lissie is durring the Revolution. As soon as Lissie is archived, they may do an articles of confederation girl from the 1780’s.
They didnt do a Civil War girl! or is addy civil war?
my bad, i forgot that lissie a revolutionary war. wait- they also didnt do a girl during the early america times, when they built railroads
Lena, please don’t think that I was trying to offend you in any way! I wasn’t trying to sound harsh, I was just wondering. I guess they randomly pick the winners because they have so many to choose from. But don’t worry, Maya! I’m sure your’s will be great! Good luck!
Rachel is being ignored..
i posted lots of links on the websites, and nobody has said anything about them……
Hey, Rachel! I agree with you about Molly and Emily! I think they may be retired too, because it seems like AG is retiring each doll in the order they came. After Molly, I bet Felicity will be next if our ideas are right. I hate that they have to keep retiring them, but I guess it’s for sales!
Actually, they even wanted to retire Felicity a while ago, but she was saved with a movie! so, after Molly is Lizzies turn.
I hate retiring, too. Then you cant collect alot of stuff, ‘caz it gets sold out after the archiving announcements.
Yeah, people drew a petition to save Felicity when they found out. Then AG decided to make a movie on Felicity. But yeah, I think Molly may be next, although they may get rid of Felicity/Elizabeth since Elizabeth was out longer than Emily.
Oh! I just realized that it’s kinda weird that they may be making a doll named Sarah when Addy’s best friend is named Sarah!
Civil War is Addy’s time. Also, transcontinental railroad was built in the 1860’s.
Its OK Lizzie.
I luv Lizzies stuff! I wish they hadnt retired her little sister!
Lizzie never had a sister. Lissie did. (I know its confusing:))
Darn that didn’t work.
Ya, Lissie, Lizzie soo confusing!
HEEEEEEELLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOO
Lizzies or LIssies, watever
sorry about this comment part lena
luv Lanie’s curls!!
I’m sick.
i love lanies curls too!!!!!!!!!

Click my name! This site is awesome!
I love that site too, Michaela. It’s such a cool site!
Two new historicals? Wow! What fun! The historicals are really the best part of AG, I think.
Denise’s name (if that would in fact be her name) heavily hints a girl from the 1900’s, whereas Sarah really could be from any time. Personally, I hope Denise would be from the 1950’s, and Sarah from sometime in the 1800’s. Since Kirsten is now archived, we’re a bit low on girls from the 1800’s.
Oh well, I’m intrigued! I wish there wasn’t always the long wait for news…
Would want 2 new historicals !
They should make them like in the Egypt and a English girl from England.
What do you think??
please enter my giveaway.
agcrazy.blogspot.com
I think that AG is only for dolls that live in America
I heard someone got a email from ag saying they only had 3 retired historicals: samantha, kirsten, and FELICITY. hmmm….
are u serious?
OOH WOW!!!!
I’m so excited!!
I don’t want AG to retire Felicity. She’s one of my favorite characters.
they retired felicity before but brought her back all fresh and new
wait lizzie as in elizabeth and lissie is felicity
they both have sisters so i dont understand what you mean
Lissie had a sister in dolly form, Polly. And Lissie was never retired. She was made online exclusive.
lissie had a sister?
I hope that they don’t retire lissie, she went so close to retirement so many times…
i hope it’s molly, personally. Just because i want both lizzie and lissie, and only really want Emily from the molly collection…
The emails AG gives are unpredictible, i emailed and asked when we got the samantha rumors whether kirsten or molly would retire next, and they said something about retireing dolls is entirely focused on the companies decision to renew the collection-and will not follow the order of release.’ or something.
Wow, I bet Sarah is Addy’s friend, and then Denise might replace Kirsten!
Or, you know, people make them up to look like they know something they don’t.
BTW, there should be a release of new stuff next friday.
I think Sarah is Addy’s friend!
Well Lena, I told you A while ago that Lanie was gonna have to do with “going green” and “helping the planet” and you told me I was wrong and couldn’t prove that it was true. Sometimes they do know what they are talking about.
Linda-Marie-I LOVE the historicals. The JLYs, AG can make 10 new ones w/out me noticing and the GOTYs I expect…LOL! But the historcals are a big thing.
I want “Oodles and Oodles of HORSES” and Julie’s paper dolls. FINALLY, JULIE’S PAPER DOLLS!!!!
Madison-I heard that too. I emailed AG (I explained I went on the site, and someone contacted them, blah, they retired 3, blibberdy blah blah) and they said they have not ARCHIVED Felicity. And ’sorry for the upset this has caused you”. So don’t worry.
I just hate how they are starting to retire all the good ones, One by One!! When I grow up, if AG still exists I am TOTALLY saving my old catalog to show my daughter(s) the originals. I mean, this is how I see it:
2010: Molly
2011: Lissie/Lizzie
2012: Addy
2013: Josefina
2014: Kit
2015: Kaya
And they may keep Julie and Beckie but that ain’t good enough for me. And if people get mad about Kaya/Fina/Addy retiring, that’s stupid. People protested Sam and Nellie and Kirsten being “archived” and AG didn’t listen to them-why listen to someone else?
Lena-Really? Awesome!
She isn’t about going “green”, she’s about kids going outside more often.
And some people do make things up. I’ve seen on wikianswers that the GOTY 2011’s gonna be a “moeslum”. There’s no way she can know and reveal that to us at this time.
I agree, Grace. But Addy and Kaya are NA and AA, way different from Samantha and , since shes white.
PS I have Polly she is ADORABLE my mom got me her at a rummage sale. I went w/ my friend and then I found out when I was home that mom went 1/2 hour b4 we did and left fast!
There was:
Lissie-$90
JLY With that purple and green meet outfit-$70
Sam-$90
Addy-$50
Bitty Twins/tons of clothes-$120
All was new in box! Tons of things too-roller skates non AG shoes, Lissie’s riding outfit and tea chairs. Go to my site (my name link) and you’ll see a page “How I got My Dolls” its funny how I got Lizzie!
I understand, Rachel, but why not listen to us and listen to someone who IS AA/NA? That’s not fair!
Because most of their dolls are white. Kaya, Fina, and Addy are the only “of color” girl in the collection, in Kaya & Addy’s case, the only dolls representing their race AG has ever made (AGT’s don’t count. They don’t have stories)
So I guess Lizzie is gonna be gone.
Yeah ):
My new goal for this year is to save up lots of money to buy Felicity’s collection, in case she retires. I don’t really like Molly for some reason, she just annoys me a lot.
Hey, Grace, are you on right now?
If they retire Rebecca, that might also cause outrage and problems because she is the only Jewish doll.
why wud they retire her? she is brand new!
i agree. i only like Emily. I am going to save up, too
ingrid, i agree with this comment:
My new goal for this year is to save up lots of money to buy Felicity’s collection, in case she retires. I don’t really like Molly for some reason, she just annoys me a lot.
the same for me
Ingrid-I am on but I have 2 go soon.
Molly, I think is cute. I LOOOOOOOVE her hair and cuteness and outfit and cuteness and Emily and cuteness and outfits and cuteness and and…
YAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
Rachel-In about 10-12-15 years Beckie prob. will retire.
=O O= 0= =0
YAWNY!
Im not tired but i want to make the yawn/surprised face.
O–O 0==0
Those were horses’ bits.
Bye!
bye!
I hope Felicity doesn’t get retired!
I hope Molly’s retired. No, sorry, i hope none of them are retired, but if one of them has to be, i hope it’s molly.
I like all of lissie/lizzie’s collection except their riding outfits, for some reason.
I want the palomino horse, ’cause she would look just like my horse in Colorado, Bonnie.
If they retire Felicity, i want another revolutionary doll. I adore the clothes from that era.
They’re not going to follow the order of release. They may not even release addy after lissie/molly, because she was released a while after they were. I agree grace, for rebecca, im assuming 12-15 years.
my comment’s awaiting moderation
what annoys me, is that when people find out a doll is retiring, there’s a mad rush to get her, and then she sells out really fast
thats what happened to nellie…
will they retire lissie’s horse? they called penny the ‘american girl horse’, so i’m not sure
They called her that cause she was the only horse available for a time. Now she’s just “Penny” because the AGT’s have their own horses. So ya, if Lissie goes, she’s taking Penny with her.
k, thanx
Maybe I’m alone here but I don’t mind dolls being retired. Feel free to virtually throw things at me
The way I see it is, AG is a company. Yes, it is trying to help girls be the best they can be and all that jazz, but it’s a company. They need to make money.
And they can only make money by circulating stock, bringing in new things, and ‘keepin’ it fresh’. So that means dolls have to be retired. Retiring dolls is stopping AG from folding, sort of. Because when news spreads that a doll is retiring, she sells like hotcakes. And when a new doll comes out, many people go ‘OMG I NEED HER AND SHE NEEDS ME AND I NEED HER SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH THAT I DONT CAR ABPOUT GRAMMA OR SPELING ANYMORE!!!!!!!!!!!!1′
And not to offend anyone by my post above… everyone is entitled to their own opinion and everyone can have their bad-grammar moments when they see a gorgeous doll
Libby, I couldn’t agree more. Mattel is a company, after all. They need to make money.
i agree Libby. I was sad about Samantha going, same with kirsten. But it’s out with the old and in with the new i guess…
Yes, everybody has their bad grammer moments, especially me!!!!!!!!!!
Rebecca was a huge success-she was new, which helps, and she was beautiful!!!!!!!!!!! Also, for the Jewish families out there, she was a huge success. Julie, as i recall, was also a big hut.
big hit, sorry…
and to those people who think that Mattel retireing their historicals and introducing new ones is a bad idea, think of it this way: If they didn’t, they’d go broke eventually, and there’d be no more american girl.
I’m not trying to change your opinion, that’s just the way i look at it.
I agree with Libby too. It makes sense that they archive dolls. People make a mad rush to get them, and then they introduce a new doll and then people make another mad rush to get the new doll.
Ugh… Lunch with Dad.. but no Christmas… be on later
Oh, I’d love for a doll to be named the same as me! I searched “American Girl 2010 Sarah” and on wiki answers, there was something about a doll named Mary-Grace from 1804 and Sarah from 1964.
Probably just some person who answered it. I’d really love to have a doll with my name!!!! I was hoping for a Kirsten replacement (Prarie girl) or a 50’s. 1964 (if that is true) is an interesting year to choose.
I saw a post someone made somewhere, which they found on Wiki. it had this discpriction for a doll named “Megan Dugar” from 2004. I bet someone made her up, thinking it was going to replace Sam.
I hope one of then r African American
Same here! An AA for the Civil Rights movement will be GREAT! I already had a CR doll planned out…..
ya!
same here!
You didd? Sweet
I said before that an AA Civil Rights girl would be just fine with me.
Megan Dugar is a real person who lost her mother in 9/11. I ver much doubt she’ll be made into a historical. That, and 2000’s are not historical yet. Heck, the 90’s are not historical yet (20-25 years ago is historical, depending on your source).
Woah 0_0 Weird, but the name’s nice
But, I wonder what the other girl’s time will be. Maybe a pilgram?
I kinda doubt pilgrim. To be accurate, she’d have to have as much as Kaya, and she’d be rather plain. That would not sit very well with the target audience.
I’d be perfectly happy though.
A hippy! Wait, even better (My idea):
An AA girl with a Hippy-girl as a friend
They can both be 60’s theme
I hope they do get new ones. But maybe from like Shakespears time.And the other one i really have no thought on.
Except 10 year olds didn’t get caught up in adult hippie things…. but her older sister could…
True…………..
Heya guys. I want a ww girl and a CR girl and a Pilgrim girl and a 90’s German girl living when the Berlin wall was destroyed like, she lived in the horrible part and in her fifth or sixth book was when it was destroyed. And she moves to somewhere in the US.
I think she has to be American in all 6 books
How about a girl from a hippy family?
Awww. Then maybe she was sent to America secretly (ummm don’t ask me how-I’m not writing this book) and her parents are still there and when the wall is destroyed they come back.
Kinda like Addy, but cool!
A girl from a hippie family is to much like Julie, Jill
Hippies…not exactly to my liking, but what can you expect? AG Has an Indian, a Colonial, a Pioneer, a Jew-they have more ahead of them!
I think AG shouldn’t retire ANY doll….yet. Just replace Kirsten and wait a few years before they choose to archive again
Really? Woah. Well, she WAS jsut going to be jsut a best friend……..I never knew AG already used hippies
A lot of people were hippies in the 70s, but not everyone. Julie isn’t a hippie, but she followed lots of their trends. (Love beads, bell bottoms, etc)
I never noticed that XD I was picturing this “other hippy” liek this:
Pink blouse. Brown vest. Blue jeans with sewn in flower patches, and brown sandals.
But, if a hippy’s done, I can change her.
I even had a discription of her:
Her name is Megan (Sorry, but I REALLY like this name. Might chnage it to Jenna) Bown, and she lives with her Grandmother. Her Grandma is an “active Hippy”, so she partisipates in protests and etc. Since she raised her, Megan was influenced by her hippy ways. Although she isn’t “active”, Megan goes to Hippy concerts, wear Hippy clothing and is also home schooled
Might be cool, but hippies wen’t exactly what we today would call “child-friendly”. I really don’t want a hippie. Its overly cliche for the 60’s. I’d rather have the Civil Rights doll.
Same. I guess I created her JUSt for book 2. MY Civil Rights doll (The main doll) Is an AA named “Melanie Chestner”.
Is Sarah Addy’s friend?
I don’t know who Sarah is 0_0 She is iN Addy’s books, but I agree with what’s being said. Maybe Sarah’s a code name?
Hey guys! Sorry I haven’t been on in awhile. I mean if anyone remembers me, lol.
I’m on!
i think the berlin wall idea was good. Maybe, though, to make it a little more american, the stories could be about a girl who’s family is on the other side of the berlin wall, and they’ve lived in america and then once the wall is knocked down , they reunite or something, in america. It sounds like Ana’s story, kindof, trying to escape, but i dunno. Maybe in a decade that would work, when the 90s ARE history. A lot of the AG community was born in the 90s, so i don’t think that would work yet…
but nice idea
a pilgrim would be interesting, and although they were simple people, i think AG would find some way to jazz the doll up. So many people have been facinated with the Mayflower, etc. it would be a big hit.
Keanna-i remember you, lol
A hippie-i doubt they’d make one anytime soon. In 2030, maybe, but Lena is right, they weren’t very child friendly and a mojority of hippies were over the age of 20 apparently. It would be a very cool era for a doll, with the clothes….(aaaaahh-what a collection!) and the attitudes. I hope they make one, but i’m not setting my hopes too high, i think i’ll be dissapointed.
g2g, see you guys!
The wall fell in 1990. That wouldn’t go well with AG’s ???4-???5 thing (yes, I know Kit & Julie don’t go with the pattern).
Remember, AG’s target is 8-13. Most of the dolls go to girls 6-10. They aren’t interested in history, they are interested in frills. Mayflower doll would be a Puritan. They were VERY simple people. Also, as stated above, 1620 isn’t a good year for AG.
Now I would LOVE a St Augustine 1500s doll, but I doubt this would happen.
Yes, but Kaya’s way early!
nope. there were 2 groups. 1 were puritans, the other were pilgrims
whats a hippie, by the way?

here:
ag hippie
Pilgrims = Puritans. There were two groups of people in the Mayflower, the sailors & the pilgrims.
And Kaya’s only 10 years before Lissie.
curtdanhauser.com/AG_Collecting/60sHippieCostume.jpg
just add http:// at the beggining
A pilgrim……..ehh, double thinking. I am TRIPLE thinking Megan the hippy XD Even if she’s not a real one, I’ll change her. My main girl is,,,,,,,well I don’t know about her 0_)
That hippy’s nice. Kinda complexer than mine, but still cool.
That was a halloween costume, and its not the most accurate.
I like it
Lol. Let’s just wait for AG to release them (Or her, if there’s only one)
Did anyone look at what years Denise and Sarah were popular names? that MAY givve us a clue on what time period they are,
Someone said Denise was popular towards the 60’s-70’s. Sarah can be anytime 0_0
I’m ALWAYS interested in AG books…because I love reading about history and
all that…
If they make a pilgrim doll,I doubt it will be really realistic,but it’s cool.
I’m sticking with CR.
And I don’t care if any character is archived-because new character
comes..
I dont want them to archive anytime soon……….
I don’t want them to retire any dolls!!!
Do you guys think Kit is cute? I’ve been thinking about getting her, but I’m just worried about her hair:(
Keanna, I think Kit is cute. Her hair is short so it should be easy to manage.
Yes, Kit’s hair is the easiest of all AG dolls to manage.
I think you should get Felicity or Molly, or Emily or Elizabeth. They are in danger of archivement.
I was jsut thinking this:
How long do you think AG can use the number “4″ as a year? I think they should use other numbered years too, like 5 or 7
Jill I agree
WHY do they use ‘4′ as a year, i’ve never figured that out…
Kit’s cute, and her hair is easy to manage, but my sister has her (plus a bunch of other second hand dolls) and her hair is TO short for me. I’m the kindof person who, when playing with my dolls, focouses on the hair. I don’t know about you, that’s just my opinion.
Maya, they use —4 because AG was founded in 1984. At least, that’s what I’ve heard. Apparently Pleasant Rowland wanted to educate girls, and wanted to link each character. It worked with the three original dolls,(Molly, Kirsten and Sam) and then I guess they didn’t really want to change the pattern after Lissie …
It says 1??4 on the cover, but they did change it for two girls: Kit takes place 1932-34, and Julie 1975-76.
I love my Kit. She’s easy to manage, looks good in most things, and I love her dark blue eyes.
WOW two new dolls but really sad I want to get Molly!
Kit is very pretty
One of my good friends has Kit, and compared to my Nicki and another friend’s Emily, they look much more real. Her hair is very cute as well, especially if you put little jaw clips in it 
Considering I live in Britian, I know lots of people with AG’s….
really Libby? that’s cool! I wouldn’t imagine very many people having AGs in britain. I lived there for two years when i was little, that is, in fact, where i got my first AG, but i can’t remember it…
when i went to Germany, there were a lot of people with AGs, but they said that you could get a lot of second hand dolls there (these were the pre-mattel dolls) because of the Gotz connection.
Kit’s eyes are to die for! They are sooooo pretty!!!!!!
Not to mention Gotz used that same original mold long before AG came in. Some of those dolls could have not been AGs at all, but Gotz.
thnx lena (again) lol
thats what i thought too, some of them are Gotz, but a lot of them aren’t
That’s why I said “some”. I was in Frankfurt this winter, I saw a lot of AG.
we all understand ag is a comapny and they need to retire dolls to keep making money and stay “fresh” but that doesnt mean we have to like it.
I really hope Sarah is Addy’s friend, I love my Addy and I’d love her bestfriend doll pluys maybe Addy would come out with some more accessorie/outfits!
then again, a lot of the people i knew were North American, so it made sense they had AG dolls
nobody said you had to like it, Ashleigh, we all have our opinions… i don’t really like it either, but i love the new things that we get when we retire the old stuff, that goes for dolls and clothes
From what I’ve hard from my cousin, its not likley. Her words “I think we’ve lost interest in Addy. I’ve heard they don’t want to expand her collection at all.” I also think that. That, and Sarah’s been a historically common name.
I never said we had to like it.
Yea but you never know Lena, getting a bestfriend doll could really pick up her popularity and profits, a lot of the time (not all the time) bffs do.
that’s too bad (about Addy’s collection)
i don’t think i want Sarah to be Addy’s friend. I want another, new AA doll from a different time period, with a new story, personally
it’s true, Ashleigh, that best friends help the doll sell, but, as I have said before, if the archieving follows the same pattern, Addy will be gone in two years. So there wouldn’t be very much point in making a bff for her
I don’t think so. Besides, they’d have to rewrite the story because Sarah own’s one dress, photoshop the pictures because Sarah has short hair, and a bunch of other stuff.
Best friends don’t help the doll sell. They sell, but the main girl still dwindles. Look at Lissie. She was yay all new because she got a move and a friend, but no look at her things. And there’s rumors that its her or Molly next to board the archive train.
yeah, the short hair wouldn’t be a big hit in with the 8-10 year olds, i think
but i think that they’d introduce a new immagrant, maybe Sarah will be one. Now that Kirsten is gone there isn’t one.
I WANT A GIRL FROM THE OREGON TRAIL!! tHAT IS MY FAV THING FROM HISTORY AND I WOULD BE SOOOO HAPPY. MAYBE A DARK RED HEAD LIKE ME!
I know 6 girls w/AG’s, and 17 dolls, not including my own. And I’ve heard of 2 other girls with 5 dolls but never met them….
I’m still going with the idea that Sarah & Denise could be code names. I think I mentioned this above, but ideally I would like a girl from the French revolution. She could have all these gorgeous pretty dresses if she were a rich girl, and could easily take Lissie’s place of posh long gowns. I’m not sure how it could fit into American-ness. I’m quite hazy on the details, but I think many aristocratic French fled France. maybe ‘Denise’s’ family could be escaping to America to live with relatives?
I’m willing to have a mental story for this, as you can tell
So… Oregon trail is like a pioneer thingy?
Yeah, its a pioneer thing. But I kida don’t want her whole story to focus on it. It was a 5 month trip, and little could be had in those wagons. To be accurate, she’d have maybe 3 dresses, no bed, no table, no schoolthings. I can’t see it being the focus of the story.
I wish they made historical from other countries. I’d love to know some European history not covered by AG (yes, I know about A British Child, but they went out of bussiness, so they don’t count), and some Canadian history. I didn’t know what the Halifax Explosion was until I started reading Dear Canada (diaries like Dear America or My Story).
We have seen WAY to many British girls already! Can’t AG do a French girl or SOMETHING different? I mean, seriously!
Whoops, I meant to say too, not to.
That’s why I said EUROPEAN history.
Hey guys, has anyone realized that every date of the dolls ends in 4?
Samantha: 1904
Kirsten: 1854
Molly: 1944
Kit: 1934
Kaya: 1764
Felicity: 1774
Josefina: 1824
Julie: 1974
Addy: 1864
I read a lot of Dear America books in 4th and 5th Grade. I remember being very interested in the pioneer stories especially.
I’d love an immigrant girl. I know that’s a little like Kirsten, but obviously she won’t be Swedish. It would be interesting to have an Asian girl during the Immigration Act of 1924.
The Halifax expolosion was so sad! My grandma is from Halifax and her sister was alive when the ships collided. I read a really good dear Canada book called no safe harbour and it was really good , but I must have cried atleast 3 times. I would love some Canadian history, because tons of Canadians, myself included, adore AG. I don’t really like maplelea dolls as much
I would love a French revolution girl! She would have a gorgeous collection!
Yes, maybe a philipeano girl. I would love a part Spanish girl too
I like Maplelea’s historical outfits. I also have No Safe Harbor, An Ocean Apart, the one about child labor, and the one with les filles du roi. We American are taught little Canadian history, and since I am Canadian, I think I should know at least a little of the history.
Ag could make like a new line of dolls like royal dolls. Like based on Royal Diaries royal princesses. It doesn’t have to be American. Btw, I love Royal and Dear America Diaries!
Lena- What said 1??4 on the cover?
At Menards they have these AG books:
Chrissa
Doll Tees
Doll Hair
Puzzle Crazy
Tear Up This Book
What’s so Funny
I didn’t have my money with though, I was with my friend.
wow i havent been on in forever but i agree with lena i hope there is a new orleans doll just b/c im from new orleans
i love the royal diaries and Dear america 2 Rachel
I think the American Girl should retire dolls. I mean yeah I was sad when Kirsten was retired and I still am but like the girls said above, if a doll’s not selling well, she may retire. I think that Molly is going to be retired next, they will wait a year and then retire the rest. I think the Mattel is only archiving/retiring to boost their buisness- but I do want some new dolls!
MAybe AG cna make these girls:
An Eskimo! She can be from……I don’t know, but she can be from Alaska
I was also thinking about an actual Victorian girl from 1894
The historical book cover all say 1??4 (or on some books 5).
Allie-Out of the books I said were at Menards, which one would you want?
What historical book cover?
Lizzie was from 1775, Ruthie from 1936, Emily from 1946, and Ivy from 1975.
I still think AG should jsut expand their number. If they used 6, they can make a WW1 doll from 1916
I think they don’t use 1????4 for best friends
Wait- And Nellie from 1906.
GTG, be on tomorrow. Bye!!+
Best Friends are not the main historical. The first three books are set in 1??4, the last three in 1??5, the last one sometime in ?6. Kit and Julie are the exeptions, in 32-34 and 75-76 respectivley. And Rebecca covers WWI a little.
hi guys good news! i might get an ag doll cuz my dad won $400 from this thing he does every year with the superbowl thing. if the score is the same then u get money! so excited!
Congrats! Which doll are you goign to get?
Hey. To add to all this wishful thinking, I would love a doll from New Orleans, too, probably 1920s. I think that would be really neat. I’m really interested in this time period and place.
I can’t think of any other time period I’d like a doll from, except maybe the French Revolution 1790s. I haven’t thought of how that could tie into an “American” Girl yet, and I doubt they would make this anyway.
Anyway, I can’t wait for the Rebecca Mystery. Rebecca is like my new favorite doll. I love her so much!
I think that Addy will retire very soon!
I hope Addy doesn’t! Then again, I think Molly’s next
Although I agree that Molly is likley next, I remind you all yet again that we don’t know what’s on Mattel’s mind. Addy may very well be next.
Please not 1920s New Orleans. A child would have no place in the very adult world of jazz. And I really don’t want another 20th century doll. I’d rather have one from the 19th century.
i want a new orleans doll, i don’t really care what time period.
i think it will be molly too, but you never know.
This is my theory:
they retired Samantha first, ‘because she was a favorite, and it came as a shock to everybody.
They retired Kirsten, who wasn’t as popular, to let people know they’re serious about this archieving thing
Then…who knows, they may archieve the least popular doll, or the next in the pattern.
Hi, guys. Sonali is sold out ):
I still want her though, but if I don’t get her I will scour ebay, and if I had the money I would pay that extra $20!!!!
I SAID THAT AG IS PLANNING TO ARCHIVE ADDY VERY SOON, NOT AFTER KIRSTEN, BUT VERY SOON!!!!!!! AND I HAVE THE PROOF!!!!!!!!!
What proof, Rachel? (:
How do you do: Surprised and Devil Horns?
yep
Here is her flower picking outfit :
store.americangirl.com/agshop/EndecaForwardServlet?dest=%2Fagshop%2Fhtml%2FProductPage.jsf%2FitemId%2F140662&event=topRecordsReport&sku=F7587
( just add http:// at the beggining)
It is available
Now go here: reviews.americangirl.com/4337/211272/profile.htm
(http://)
scroll down till u see her picking outfit
Its not available!
One backorderd outfit does not spell doom for Addy. Especially if that one outfit has no significance to her story and has been out for over 3 years.
I just wish AG would add more historicals WITHOUT retiring tons. I mean, WTW! (What the Watermelon) they added 2 (Julie/Ivy) without retiring any. Of course 5 mos. later Sam/Nellie went!
*15 mos later
They lack warehouse space though. And Julie and Ivy counts as 1, because Ivy is an accessory to the main girl.
# 1 Samantha
#2 Kirsten
#3 Felicity or #4 Felicity
#4 Molly or # 3 Molly
# 5 Addy
Still, it doesn’t make sense.
What does ISBN stand for again?
dont kno
it doesnt stand for dont know
Have you tried googling it?
Ok, I admit that was a bit mean. Sorry.
It means international standard book number.
Haha Lena. I could see the look on your face-a nice laughing look, not a snotty look. Apology accepted (;
No offense taken anyway!
rachel, just out of curiosity, why does one retired outfit mean they are going to archieve?
i have (dear canada books)
-Not a Nickle to Spare (Great Depression)
-Turned Away (world War II)
-No Safe Harbor (Halifax Explosian)
-The North West Resistance one
-The plains of abraham one
-Orphan at My Door
and the filles du roi one, but i forget what that’s called
I have read, from Dear America,
I Walk In Dread
A Journey to the New World
When Christmas Comes Again
and
The Pearl Harbor one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What’s it called?!?!
caz we already knew she she was gonna retire after felicity and this confirmed it.
No it didn’t. We have absolutly nothing confirmed in the field of archival.
Early Sunday Morning is the Pearl Harbor one. I’ve read every Dear American except Where Have All the Flowers Gone?, West to the Land of Plenty, and the Girl Who Chased Away Sorrow. I’ve only read the 4 Dear Canada books that I own.
I love that one. They are all so emotional, and cool. The I Walk In Dread one creeped me out
I wish Sonali was a historical
it sounds stupid, but then I’d be able to get her
i have her
I loved I Walk in Dread. That was one of my favorites.
i might call AG tonight ….. not for a prank i am gonna ask some serious questions ….. should i?
i’m not ssure i might freak but if i do i’l put it on youtube ……. my channel is AGsistersclub !!!!
if i do … i’ll ask if there are any new things coming out on the 22 ( i heard stuff )
There’s aways a release around Valentine’s. And no, I wouldn’t tell you to call. Legally, you have to be 18.
And don’t tell me your age.
Lena-The back section, uggh, the dead people…I was reading it at 1 at nite, so yeah.
Rachel-Really? is her body orange?
I’m not allowed to say my age.
Hey, Lena, what are the top 5 dolls you want to get? (And if any are JLYs, then tell me their eyes, hair, and skin-I don’t have the numbers memorized.)
And I clicked your name and saw the pictures. Is one you?
My name’s been unclickable for about 3 months now…
1. 25 (original mold, straight black hair, brown eyes, light skin)
2. Lanie. I don’t want her as much as her outfit.
3…..
Yeah, that’s all the dolls I want for now.
Also, Sonali’s body is NOT orange.
Wow!!! It’s been sooo long since I was on last. I still check DD every day though to see if new stuff is up. I don’t know if AG would do two new dolls. I think three in one year might be overkill, though it would be exciting.
Oh my gosh, I have read every Dear America book and love them. I think I’ve read every Royal Diaries book as well. I have three Dear Canada books, Orphan At My Door, Banished From Our Home, and With Nothing But Our Courage. My favorite Dear America is either Seeds of Hope or Dreams in the Golden Country. For Royal Diaries, it’s a tie between Isabel and Jahanara.
btw, is there some way to just buy the fox from Lanie’s animals?? It’s so cute, but I don’t like the other animals
grace- whos body is orange?
oh, no. Sonali’s body isnt orange, She’s Indian.
agplaythings.proboards.com /index.cgi?action=display&board=chrissa&thread=20347&page=2#364435
just add http:// at the beginning
No, her cloth body!!
ITS LIKE DARK BROWN, A LITTLE ORANGE
It doesnt work
oh
Caitlin, try calling CS and buying a replacement part fox. And let me know how it goes, because I might do the same.
What does IMO mean?
In my opinion, why?
“have you tried googling it?” ROTFL!!!
Sorry if that sounds mean Lena
I can laugh at myself, don’t worry.
Oh im just seeing it everywhere
Ok good C=
Oh and Lena-I clicked your name and saw the pictures. Is one you?
My name is unclickable right now….
I clicked it when it WAS clickable-it must not have been 3 months!
Hey when I think about Mattel is money greedy (by making the McDonalds toys) I dont really care they’ve had build a bear, barbie, and beanie babies, etc and FINALLY they got AG.
My LJ, right? Yes, that was me. And that was a really bad picture because I took it. Which reminds me, I need to start working on that LJ again.
Jill, umm I’m getting lanie, her accesories
and maybe even her butterfly outfit.
and Lena I pictured you with pin straight short brown hair glasses and blue eyes!
Heehee Alexis…lol!!!
Do you think AG will return to mcdonalds?
Lena, I want to see your LJ! Can you post the link?
Grace- probably whats so funny
Lena- i agree with you a child living in NO in the 1920s would have really no place with all of the jazz and stuff like that
OMG OMG OMG IM STILL SOO EXCITED BOUT THE SUPER BOWL WHO DAT!!!!
^^^There’s nothing on it right now, but here ya go Michaela, and anyone else who wants to see it.
I look nothing like Alexis thought
GTG
Bye!
Hmmm…. sources tell me to be ready for new stuff this weekend…..
Hey Lena,
I sent u an email on my site
go to ur inbox
hey wheres the link to Lenas picture?
I still think a Denise from 1984 would be cute, though it would make me feel old because I was 13 in 1984. She could have fluffy curly hair and wear a big lacy bow in her hair. She would have a long t-shirt or sweater with a belt and patterned tights and heels. Or, wear two or three layered shirts over skinny jeans that are cuffed or have legwarmers and hightop sneakers. Or, a three-tiered mini skirt with lacy top layered over a shirt. Or, she could go the schoolgirl look with a jacket, sweater, and plaid skirt and socks. Or finally, she could be a bit punk and wear a red leather jacket with zippers like Michael Jackson and lightning bolt earrings. These were my favorite looks from then.
Logically, though, if AG continues the pattern of dolls 10 years after archived ones, Denise may be a 1950’s doll. Which would still fit the timeframe for the Denise name, which began being popular in the 40’s and was most popular in the 50’s-80’s. If there is a doll named Denise, that is :p
I think AG wll get more leneint later on. When they archieve more dolls, it’ll be harder to make a new doll from a different era. I don’t personally care if one doll resembles another. In the future, if AG keeps doing this ALLOT of dolls will be similar.
And I was picturing an AA doll for the 60’s:
With an afro-ey styled hair, and a checkered yellow dress. She can have a bow in her hair
I’d love a doll with an Afro. I’ve always wanted an Afro, myself! (though it would look really weir, since I have blond hair) Still, I’m not sure if they would make a 60’s doll, because the period is too close to Julie’s.
*weird*
New stuff!! Oh-em-gee!
I think AG will have no choice when they run out of time ideas……
My theory: Ag’s target group changes every 5 years. Bring back Sam & Kirsten in those 5 years, and they’ll seem brand new.
I bet one of the dolls wil be around Kirrsten’s time because that’s what they did with Samantha and Rebecca.
i do hope they make a 50’s doll ( that would be adorable !! )
Lena , why would i give out my age to someone on the internet , sorry if it sounds mean but i’m not like that
i would not like a doll with a afro for two reasons
1. not much style’s to do on the doll
2. i don’t think i would like a doll if it had a big poofy afro on it’s head
unkess ag made it look cute ,,,,, NOT SAYING THEY WON’T okay i got a comment saying ag would make her look cute …. anyways i would like a doll from that period but not with that type/style of hair / maybe
You’d be surprised how many people will give their age in response to that.
Karito Kid Lulu has a bit of an afro, and I have to agree. Its non-brushable, and I can’t really do much with it. She’s pretty and is my Nzingha (Royal Diaries Nzingha) doll, but it does anoy me that I can’t play with her hair.
has anyone read Lanie’s 2nd book ??? i’ve read the 1st one but not sure if i want to go buy the second one ???? what did you guys think of the book ??
yah , ecxatly a doll with non-brushable hair is kindof annoying . But i have Lanie witch is a ecxeption ( because you can still style it very well and the curls last ) on my doll
has anyone that has Lanie brushed her hair out ???? i don’t recommend it ( not that i’ve done it ) but if you have plz tell me how it worked
if it aactualy worked and u had great results i might try it ( doubt that i will ) but her hair is really cute ,,,,, that’s one of my favorite things about her ( i wonder what she would look like with straight hair ??? weird )
anyone at alll ????
Rebecca (& Lanie) have straight hair comapred to Lulu.
I brushed out Helena’s hair to braid it. It still has a curl to it but looks more natural. I did finger brush it after.
hmmmmmmmmmm
Emma- I don’t have Lanie but I have Rebecca and I brush her hair out regularly, just because if i don’t then it will NEVER be brushable in the future. Yes, it doesn’t get rid of the curles. Her hair was very wiry when I first got her, now it is a little more puffy, and it looks a little longer because it isn’t as curly as when i first got her, but if you brush her hair, then twirl strands of it and hold it there, it usually does go curly again.
A doll from the 80’s could be AA, also. The Cosby show was big then, and Michael Jackson, and A Different World. I think an AA with lots of curls and a lacy bow in her hair would be adorable. Anyone agree?
here’s a tip though: DO NOT USE THE AMERICAN GIRL DOLL HAIRBRUSH!
sorry, I had to learn that the hard way.
Use a hairpick, the brush made her hair go long and wavy and it took me forever to fix it
But, i agree, that it looks more natural when you brush it a bit.
I use a hair brush on Helena. I hate the pick. it fluffs, not brushes. I brush out her hair, finger curl it, while spraying with braid spray.
Yiu know, an 80’s doll, to be fashionably 80’s, would need to have BIG hair. And I mean curls, fluffy bangs, and come with her own can of mouse.
how’d you know there are going to be new items on the weekend Lena? (just out of curiousity)
Hi.
mousse
i agree!
“Yiu know, an 80’s doll, to be fashionably 80’s, would need to have BIG hair. And I mean curls, fluffy bangs, and come with her own can of mouse.”
Hehe sorry if this sounds mean
it sounds like something I might say lol
gtg
b on later
i use the pick when i want her hair to be fluffy
Normally i finger brush or something
I use the brush on Mia and my sister’s dolls, but not on Beckie
bye!!!!
I USE the BRUSH ON MIA
I use it on everyone cept Lulu. And I have Elsie, who has big sausage curls.
There’s always a release around Feb 14. That, and my cousin told me. Like I needed to know.
Mousse. Typo spelling: Mouse.
yeah, i don’t know if i’d get an 80s doll, just the clothes
sorry, i dont remember last years release…
my fav. royal diaries are elizabeth the first’s diary and mary queen of scott’s diary. I also liked Marie antoinette
and my fav. Dear America’s were seeds of hope, standing in the light and…i dunno…
and (this is random) my favorite JLY outfit ever was the Licorice Play Outfit or the Plaid Outfit ( I can’t remember what it is called)
I have gotten an email from my PS that Rebecca will be getting new stuff, the JLYs will get new stuff, and Bitties will get new stuff. Also, a bunch of new books. Due is stores thursday, the 11th.
Lena- love the mousse comment
I thought, Feb 14th, that’s so far away! Then I realized it was Sunday.
I hope Rebecca gets nesting dolls and a kewpie doll and her summer and speech outfits. She really needs Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm, but I’m afraid that the nightstand necessities are of the past. No Little House for Julie or Fairy Tales for Ruthie…
My mom graduated in 1964, and the hippy movement wasn’t big yet. She remembers Elvis, the Beatles, and hot rods starting to give way to VW’s. And many of her classmates going to Vietnam, never to return
thats great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m excited about Rebecca! Two more days…
omg!!!
Lena-I know. It’s ok. It’s just funny (not trying 2 be rude!!)
Maya-I have that outfit (Licorice Play Outfit) it was my first real AG outfit (besides Kirsten’s St. Lucia gown, which came w/out the wreath or socks, and she came w/ it) and as a matter of fact I just changed Kirsten out of it this morning
No school today
I LOVE HOMESCHOOLING!
NO MORE WALKING DOWN MY LOOOONG DRIVEWAY!

Lena, how can you get a personal shopper? BTW, the Rebecca stuff is WOW!
Grace, Im homescholed too
Cool Rachel then u know what I mean
Am I posting too much? my comment’s awaiting moderation.
Oh and Rachel, u get a personal shopper after u go 2 AGP once and u ask 4 one im sure, i think so

Wait sorry, that might be hard to read
After you go to AGP once, then you can ask for a personal shopper and you should get one
But I’ve never been there ):

(PS don’t get mad if your name isn’t here. I just looked at the names that posted recently.)
I go to public school. My cousin used to be home-schooled but the test books costed too much.
Oh, Ingrid, that’s too bad. I’m homeschooled cuz I’m a Christian and my mom doesn’t like the things they taught at school
Cool Ingrid!!
Wait not 2 bad for ur bday, for ur cousin
I looked up when Denise and Sarah were popular. All I found was Denise, but someone found Sarah. The time was the 1950’s.
I saw someone had said it would be cool if Ag came out with a doll that went on the mayflower, well i was talking to my mom the other day and she said that would be cool. The only thing is all of AG’s historical charactar’s have had their date end in 4. the mayflower date didn’t end in 4. but i thought it would be cool if the girl had been on the mayflower when she was YOUNGER. and it is her a few years later. idk. we just have to wait and find out.
That would be cool to have a 1600’s doll. I guess AG doesn’t make them because the decade in the 1600s were very close to other 1600s decades.
If she were a Puritan, wouldn’t her outfits be a little dull? Also the fiftenth century was very religious. I don’t think AG does extreme religious.
sevententh, sorry.
Hi again
Hi again
how yall doin
Off topic….
I don’t want Lanie’s camper. Don’t have the money and don’t have the room, plus it’s just…IDK. A tent would be better, IMO.
I’m homeschooled online.
I don’t live near a Place, but I go to NYC often and go then.
OMG! It’s snowing like three feet outside! I CANNOT BELIEVE IT!
Lena,
Why WERE you in Poland anyway (just wondering)?
Michaela,
I was gonna take em out today, but theres a blizzard here ):
I have to wait probably awhile b4 I take my dolls out.
Lena,
Have you been on my site today? I kinda updated it (with a small post)
i wouldnt like it if molly would go this year she realy is cute and she was my first AG doll but now i got 5 dolls:)
Because my family lives there.
Your whole family? Like, Mom/Dad, too?
No. My mom & dad live her. I have 1 uncle in FL, 1 aunt in Boston, and the rest live in Poland. I have a very big Family.
I don’t like that Karito Kid named Lang or something…the Chinese one. Those eyes freak me out :s s:
Oh. Are you Polish?
A lot of Polish people have blonde hair, but I guess you don’t
Is your mom or your dad Polish?
I discovered I had a HUUUUUUUUUUUGE family (of waaay too many relatives) at the last party I went to for my dad’s side.
But thats ok!
My parents are both Polish. I was born in Canada.
i love my Ling. She’s very pretty, the most authenicly Asian looking doll out there, IMO.
Hey i was flickin’ through my email at old ag emails and i said i had not been getting my catalouges. they said i can call them.
arent i too young (im not an adult)
Emails don’t know how old you are. There’s an online catalog request.
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh
So your Canadian too then.
Well, my brother thinks it should be called “Canadia” lol.
No offense Lena, its just that those eyes……………………………….uuuuuugh
No I think it messed up-it said have a parent go online or I (meant to be capital like THIS) could call. :confused:
I don’t have a problem with the eyes, Grace.
Man, there’s a lot of home schooled kids on this site. No wonder you guys have so much time to comment! I go to public school, and I like it a lot. It’s where all my friends are!
Ava, it’s just how they are shaped.
Friends? I though that was what ballet is for. But seriously, I like homeschool better. I wake up when I want, eat when I want, do schoolwork when I want.
“Rebecca (& Lanie) have straight hair comapred to Lulu. ”
Whos Lulu
?
Well I wake up at 8, and then do school (30 min lunch break) do chores and then nothing (can get a snack whenever too)
Hello?
*We got disconnected*
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
OK Maybe this will make you answer…
I made up movie collections!
JULIE:
Julie movie
Julie mini
Ivy mini (if she comes out)
Good Luck Ivy-PB
Meet Julie-PB
Movie soundtrack (that seems likely)
Nutmeg
What do you think?
Will AG actually make a Julie Musical like they claimed?
Ooops…my last post was a mistake!
Hi everyone! Long time no chat!
No clue, Jill. But honestly, I’d like to see many more historical movies before a Julie one. The movies aren’t high quality or anything but they are entertaining and enjoyable. I am interested in them making movies about more historic time periods than the 70’s for the moment. Dying to have an Addy movie!
Does anyone have a snow day tomorrow? My brother and I both do and I am so excited. My school never gets snow days, but today, even my math teacher, who always reminds us of the fact that our school never has snow days, guessed that school would be closed sometime this week. I am so happy that I get out of speech class. I don’t mind giving speeches (actually, I really like doing that!) but the professor is so boring and dull. I won’t have his class until Monday.
Ava, I am another homeschooler! The school I mentioned is the local community college where I take most of my classes. I am in 10th grade.
Oh, since I haven’t been on here…I got JLY 21! I know I had a thing against JLY’s a few months ago, but I decided that some of them are just too cute to pass up. She will be a historical (I have no desire for a modern girl) from 1914. Her name is Sara.
And when I said musical, I meant a “Musical movie”
If they do make Julie:an American Girl Musical,well,then I think it WILL have soundtrack/album. But I think it’s sort of like a tangled web for AG-they have to make a dance routine,and maybe write 1 or 2 songs.
I’m wondering if girls will “sing” in the movie. I guess they will,since it’s a musical.
But I wouldn’t dare to go to auditions(if they will have one)…I mean,I saw there was like,lot of girls just standing in the line for audition…plus I think you will have to sing…
I really hope they don’t make it a Musical. It would be extremely ackward and not even relevant to the storyline. Also, Musicals are *so* 2006.
Hmmm.it’s exciting that Rebecca’s coming with more stuff(probably Rebecca’s summer dress from 4th book,table,and russian dolls).
But what’s wrong with Ivy??? Will they ever add at least one outfit to Ivy’s collection this yr?? I mean,it’s been two yrs since Ivy was released…at least Julie got cool new outfits on fall release
I don’t like the idea of musical,either. It’s awkward for me,too. I mean,Julie’s character is really “musical”,but her stories are serious,because it’s about
changing the world…
Plus it’s also awkward that the cast of musical is the girls.
Also,musical probably means that the movie and the actual story will be different(like Kit’s movie,unlike Sam’s movie,which was pretty much like a book)
But it’s just my opinion…
I cant wait for Beckie’s new stuff!
They actually confirmed the musical. Like it or not, its gonna happen. I’m on team please no.
Is anyone on?
i am
i can’t imagine a julie musical would be very good. I mean-the 70s theme would probably be cool, but why singing??? I’d prefer a regular movie. I hope Rebecca gets her Russian dolls, I was dissapointed she didn’t already have them when I looked online…
I just got the Licorice Play Outift for Christmas, and I’m happy I did 1) its super cute 2) They retired it…
Ava-I was thinking the same thing! There are a lot of homeschooled people on this site!
That actually sounds super cool to me, I wish I was homeschooled. I know a girl who is homeschooled, but then she started going to my school…her aunt taught her. I am sooooo jelous, but I wouldn’t know most of my current friends if I was homeschooled. Plus, I’m not a very diciplined person, so I don’t think home schooling would would for me, but i envy people who ARE home schooled…
but my friend was home schooled because where she used to live, the schools weren’t very good…
And (this is me, personally, I’m not trying to sound snobby or anything) I kind of like the ’spirity’ feeling school gives me-at pep rallies and assemblies and class parties and sports day, and stuff like that. And I love all my fabulous teachers!
i have relatives from all over europe, primarily ireland and poland, actually.
Almost all of my relatives have moved to the States by now, but a couple years ago my dad’s second cousin from Ukraine visited us.
I’m English, German, Scottish, Irish, German-Jewish, Russian- Jewish(like Rebecca!) French-Jewish, English-Jewish, and Ukrainian-Jewish. I know, that’s a lot.
I am:
-Irish
-Scottish
-English
-Welsh
-Polish
-French
-Ukrainian
and Russian
I ma Polish, Ukrainian, and German. My mom’s grandpa was Jewish, and I aparently inherited the looks. I have darker skin, brown-reddish hair, and hazel eyes. Aka, the human Rebecca look alike.
tomorrow new stuff are coming!!!!!!!!!!
my mom’s great grandpa was Polish-Jewish
oh, and im part swedish too
I just found out that I’m getting Lanie for my b-day, which is only 14 days away!!!!!!!!!!!! I was doing a school project on my mom’s computer and all of a sudden she got a confirmation message in her inbox and she looked over my shoulder and told me I was getting Lanie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Actually, it’s Lanie’s Starter collection and hammock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi!
I decided I don’t really want Lanie. She’s pretty, I just can live without her.
I’m:
German
Polish
Swedish
English
Irish
Scottish
Norwegian
English
AND, *DRUMROLL*
AMERICAN. LOL
sorry i said english twice
Wait theres new stuff 2moro?
I am English, Irish, Scottish, German, and of course, American!
i thought that too, and had decided to stop saving up for her and everything and get Lissie/Lizzie/Emily, but now I know I’m getting her and I really can’t wait!!!!!!!!!
I’m buying Beckie’s new outfit when it hits the online store. You guys do know that the new stuff hit the stores only tomorrow, right? NOT the online one.
So, I might start making Valentine’s Day Cards soon.
when DOES it get onto the online store? I usually just go to the store
i dont go on the site too often.
:-&
when will the new stuff go to the online store.
3:)
i was always under the impression it went online at the same time it arrived in stores…
3x)
Some times it does, sometimes the stores get it first. I’d say it’ll be online Monday at the latest.
grace- me 2 i not getting lanie either im waiting till nxt year to get my last doll!!
do u guys think they will kake a aa one nxt year
cuz if they are makin a doll nxt year other than white ones then ill get nxt years who knows
I think that Felicity will retire this year.
I don’t I think if they do it will be kaya,josifina, or addy but with all the disscussion of sarah being addys friend it’s hard to tell.
I think Molly will
I want Sonali for my bday, save up 4 the jly with caramel hair and ask for Molly for Xmas
Lena waaaay back you said “I want 25 and that’s it”
25 dolls or the #25 JLY?
25 dolls i think
No. 25 the AGT.
helloooooooooooo
hi!!
ask Jennifer:
how can I save up for an AG doll really fast ( not counting chores, yard sales and lemonade stands). I want one in 2 weeks! how can I earn money really fast ( and no babysitting or walking the dog!)
Rachel, don’t spend money on things you really don’t need.
OK My comment’s awaiting moderation so in case u didn’t see that, i said: (with a few addons)
AGT 25 is what my BF looks like, black-brown hair, brown eyes and light skin, except she doesn’t like her hair being called black. It doesn’t matter I guess. She wants the one that looks like me (caramel haired)
Lena,
She never said that she didn’t need an AG doll. She can get one if she wants.
Rachel,
Try making crafts and selling them, or shoveling snow for your neighbors. And ask your parents if you can get an allowance.
oh, well, im okay with waiting till monday. Im not anywhere near a store this year
my plan is to save up for lissie and lizzie, ask for emily during christmas and get lanie for my b day…
i love the caramel haired JLY, also the one with curly red hair and the one with medium skin, blue eyes and wavy black-brown hair. But I don’t think I’ll get a JLY, because I’m very interested in the doll’s story. GOTY’s are important to me, i think that their year’s worth collection is usually very cool, and historical’s are facinating, plus, they’ll be around for a LONG time and usually have big collections. But JLYs don’t have stories and there are so many added at once, that they aren’t as important to me (I hope i don’t sound mean or anything)
KAYA MOVIE COLLECTION:
Kaya movie
Kaya mini doll
Meet Kaya PB book
Kaya’s Animals
Kaya bookmark
That’s not what I meant. I meant to save she should not spend money on things she doesn’t need. Like not buying a $20 shirt. 5 shirts = 1 doll.
Bwt, I dont even have money, so I try to save every cent and I dont spend any money on anything besides AG. Also, I have no snow!
I dont even buy anything ever except Ag things!!!
I dont buy 20$ shirts
Oh, you mean passing up that candybar and that *brand name* shirt (i did the *brand name* thing on purpose) and save the money for a doll instead?
did u guys hear about the AGP stylist who refused to style an OG doll’s hair?
ya its fake
i think its like oh AGs bad!
then the moms like shes not intesrested in dolls anymore caz she thought they were like real sorta but now she knows theyre fake…
Its real
Its all over diggs and facebook and everything. lots of people hate AG now.
But not me l:
:l
It can’t be proven true or false, so I’m assuming its false. They’ve always been pretty good about styling non-AG hair.
GRRRR Its awaiting moderation: I’m saying the story about the OG is false.
OG Dolls aint bad
It doesn’t sound fake. :confused:
here is her story:
oneofthosehorriblemoms.blogspot.com/2007/03/fake-out.html
and here are some sayings about it:
/www.mauricereeves.com/archives/2007/03/dear-american-girl-doll-company.html
Bye Im gonna edit my site c u later
i’ll send u a message Lena
what does OG stand for?
I’ve heard the story, i agree with what people said about it probably happening and then being exagerated about.
And I HAVE seen people bring their dolls hair to be styled when it isn’t an AG Doll, the stylist talks to the parent or the kid or says something nice. I dunno whether I should believe it.
bye u guys!
Rachel thats weird I saw some Gwen stuff too, sad sad
OG-Our Generation
GTG Bye!
where did u see gwen stuff?
OG stands for Our Generation.
I have an EXTREMELY OLD OG doll.Her hair was really bad, but that’s probably because I found her in a box of wires in my garage.
On the same website as the OG stuff. /www.mauricereeves.com/archives/2007/03/dear-american-girl-doll-company.html . Click on “dolls” and it’s there.
0_0 Why would people be mad at AG? It makes sense for AG to not wanna style OG dolls………although, telling the girl nicely would have been ALLOT better
Actually,I made a comment about that like,in posts ago.
I thought it was unfair,but then AG can’t style OG dolls very well and who would want to style other companies’ dolls?
But I think the person said girl was crying so badly…
But I think it’s partly fake. I have no idea why some people say they’ll never buy stuff from AG. I mean,it may not be true. No one can prove it except the doll hair stylist.
PS I’m also wondering why people does not like AG??? Sure,it is pricey. But some people have many other reasons? WHY???
Happy spring release!!!
There was Coney Island Dress as I expected but only 4 outfits…ugh
I guess I am firstie to see spring update here???
but I have no idea where beckie’s souvenir set came from,but it’s cool.
I love all of them-2 in 1 outfit is also cool.
But I think it was in middle of updating!!! I can’t see them now!
I really AM the first person to see it Lol
Oh,boy. I couldn’t see it for a momment now I can.
So here is new stuff. Click my name.
I’m in love with 2 in 1 set,Rebecca’s summer set,and pet’s rain gear,plus surf and swim gear-it’s so cute…plus I also love raincoat outfit for dolls but I wish there was more update. Plus I love the bitty wagon! SOO cute!
Rebecca looks HORRIBLE in her summer dress. I’ll wait to see other people’s photos of that dress before I get it. I do like the accessories, though accuratly Beckie wouldn’t be albe to afford a carosel.
I love most of the new JLY stuff (ITS NOT PINK!!!!!!). New Bitty stuff is cute, but I wish the boy got something.
What are you talking about! I love Rebecca in her new dress! I think I want to get her whole historical collection, that and kits by the time im older!
the new safari outfit is cute! i dont really like the new swim and surf oufits though.
and the fiesta picnic set is so cute! I always love ag food!
Personally, I think the rain coat and boots set for dolls is too adorable. May have to come up with a reason to get it for our dolls!!
why are they retiring all the kit and molly hardcover books?
I stand by what I said. Rebecca looks HORRIBLE in her new dress. Like the dress is meant for her Bubbie. And she needs stockings. Badly.
I agree, Char. I need that raincoat & the suim suit. Its adorable.
I agree with you, Lena. Rebecca looks terrible!
I like the dress. But with the raincoat is the “Favorite Pet Stories” book-that came with another outfit before, didn’t it??
Well at least we know now that the new catalougue will have a new design!
Hey. Is anybody here?
OK I was thinking me and all my friends, with their dolls, could have a giant DOLL PARTY.
I have 4 friends who have dolls, and I don’t want to give out their names (they might not like that) so I’ll just use the first letter. And two start with Ks so here is what I’ll do.
K (1)
K (2)
M
N
And we’ll altogether, if I get Sonali and one of my friends gets the JLY w/ caramel hair, have 15 dolls! Then we’d have…
Mine:
Kirsten
Elizabeth
Sonali
Polly (Lissie’s sis)
Britta (A non-AG baby, named after Kirsten’s baby sis)
K (1)’s:
Jane (OG doll)
Mini Felicity
Mini Josefina
K (2)’s
Kitty (OG doll)
N’s:
Jenny (OG Doll)
M’s:
Samantha
Felicity
Chelsea (Disney doll)
Anna (JLY w/ caramel hair)
Mini Molly
It will be AWESOME!!!
“Rebecca (& Lanie) have straight hair comapred to Lulu. ”
Whos Lulu
?
Lulu is a Karito Kid doll.
When will this “new doll” be released? I hope it’s this sumemr
Addy is going to retire 1n 2013 cause they reire doll after 20 years like with sam& kirsten so molly felcity addy stock up on those doll and Lanie
i know that denise and sarah were popular names in the 1950’s
they retired samantha and added rebecca and now i notice that there only one decade away (1904-1914) maybe they’ll retire molly and get two new ones in the same tine zone???!?!?!?!?!?!
a new orleans doll would be awesome!
I really hope that both dolls are gonna be cute.If they are I’m getting them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hi! i got a haircut
i bet that the next doll to be retired is Josefina. Becouse i don’t think they would retire Molly ’cause she’s from World War 2, or Addy becuase shes from a inportent time-period.
I think there will be a new ag ,blonde ,blue eyes .side ,bangs because if you look at the home picture with the new outfits the doll in pink looks like she has side bangs to me does it look like that to u ?
well as for me i want lanie but i already have 7 dolls, marisol, julie, josefina (jly andrea) sonali kaya and nellie but i want lanie and rebecca soo badyl i cnt w8 for denise and sarah to come out i will but them 4 shure!
I hope that they are from the 1950’s, that would be cool. But it would be to close to Molly. And Rebecca isn’t a lot different from Samantha. Only a 10 year difference. I hope they are cute dolls.
Jill- I heard that they would be released February 22. I dought it, but I think American girl is saying less and less these days about new dolls.
The Historical Character List
Kaya
Felicity
Elizabeth
Josefina
Kirsten
Addy
Samantha
Nellie
Rebecca
Kit
Ruthie
Molly
Emily
Julie
Ivy
I hope the two new historical characters are from Jersey City, New Jersey and the first historical characters to be from 2004. I want them to be Jersey American Girls!
yeah i do to
I’m so excited!
I wonder if Sarah and Denise are from Addy’s time.
I have a question: Why would AG retire Molly for maybe Sarah or Denise? Because they retired Kirsten. Plus, there is no doll to replace Kirsten. I’m not trying to hurt anyone’s feelings, I’m just confused!
Ana: the doll replacing Kirsten isnt here yet and the reason why we r thinking they would replace Molly is because just like Kirtsen,Sam and Nellie Molly and Emily are up next in line. Now none of us r completley sure about who is up next tho
still,i hope the new doll is pretty! lol
i meant to say Kirsten Sam and Nellie were the first, becuz ag is retiring down the time line they created them srry for the mix up
that means Molly and Emily r going srry my pc breaks up the messages alot
Oh. Thanks Julia. Now I’m less confused.
I hope Denise has red hair. The only red-haired AG did were Mia and Felecity.
I want one to be from 1964 and love the beatles! haha that would be so cool
I want one to be from 1964 and love the beatles! haha that would be so cool
And she could be an animal rights activist and a hippie!
Oops sorry i didnt mean to comment twice.
np Ana
. Priscilla:lol if that was a doll my mom would probably take it away from me and to herself she loves the beatles
I have 2 dolls so far. They r Natalie (jly #23) and Sonali. I hope to get Lanie real soon.
I agree w/ u Lena. The summer dress is just so ugly! It’s to big for Rebecca, the hat is too skinny and there is way to much fringe on it. It’s not my type I guess. I mean no offense to the people who do like it tho.
personally I kinda feel done with ag, maybe it’s that i’m 14, but i don’t like the whole “out with the old in with the new” idea ag lives off of, the act like even though it’s such a important doll they can still retire it, mattel just wants money, i miss the pleasant company days, pleasant rowland would never retire her original 3. So i’m done with JLY and GOTY and kinda historical (i will b completely once i get the 3 i still need to complete my historical collection) I have 11 dolls but the spark I got when I first walked into the american girl store in chicago when i was 3, it was amazing and I fell in love with it but now that it’s in water tower, and there taking away so many dolls I just don’t want to buy the new one’s cause personally to me there replacing a tradition, a very important tradition that is still inside my 3 year old heart.
So, does anybody think Denise is a historical character?
I think Denise is a historical character.
Julia, I agree. Lanie is cool!
Lanie has a best friend named Dakota.
I can’t until GOTY 2011 is revaled!
So, I can’t wait until AG tells us who Sarah and Denise are!
Ok I am new but i know my american girl! What I think is meaning Sarah as in Sarah Moore from the Addy books might be 1 of the new dolls. But I do think Denise’s timeoeriod might be near where Kirsten’s time because Rebecca was near Samantha’s.
Ana,AG takes a while to choose the GOTY!
Hello!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Anybody on!
I like Priscilla’s idea of a Beatlemaniac! I’d buy her…no, I’d somehow transform myself into her and go to see their concerts!! Alas…
Oh, and I have to agree with the person who suggested that the girl loves the Beatles. I’m not much into 70s or 80s music, 90s is alright…but I loves Beatles and ABBA (grown up with them, my mum plays them all the time)
but I mainly love bands like Paramore, Blink 182, Linkin Park, Green Day…you know.
Hi Hailey! I didn’t think it took a long time to pick GOTY.
I agree Hailey. I think the Sarah doll is Sarah Moore.
Is anybody on?
I’m thinking Sarah might be Addy’s best friends, given that that is her name in the books. As for Denise, I’m betting she is a more modern doll like Julie.
I actually think it will be Addy going next, her collection has been steadily dropping, much like Kristen’s. As for a Kristen replacement, Addy is sort of that, given that she is 1864 and Kristen was 1854. I was just sad that Kristen never got a best friend.
Erica, they only give dolls stories in years that end in 4, 1764, 1774, 1854, 1864, 1904, 1914, 1934, 1944, 1974.
What I really want them to do is to bring back the Girls of Many Lands line. They are like $300 used on ebay
Me too! They can do an Ancient Egyptain Girl D:
Smileys!!!!
:lol;
;oops:

that’s all i know
Smileys!!!!
:mrgreen;
that’s all i know
omg i did that 4 times
I think Kirsten was archived but later will be rereleased with maybe a bestfriend doll because Felicity was taken out for a short time and was rereleased with a new look and with an elizabeth doll that also had new features.
I don’t think AG is trying to not make any AA historical dolls because each doll is unique. For example:
Kaya ( American Girl only historical American Indian doll)
Felicity (AG only historical doll with red hair)
Josefina (AG only historical Hispanic doll)
Kirsten (AG with Sedwish background and was not born in the US)
Addy (AG only historical African-American doll)
Samantha (AG only historical doll who is an orphan and is wealthy)
Rebecca (AG only historical Jewish doll)
Kit (AG only historical doll with freckles)
Molly (AG only historical doll with glasses)
Julie(AG only historical doll with parents that are divorced and were jeans)
An Ancient Egyptain AG would be nice. I agree Jill.
Ancient Egyptian has nothing to do with American History
It wasn’t for American girl
It was fro “Girls of Many Lands”……IF they decided to re-release those anymore
AG made every historical character different. Wow! Thanks Jasmie!
Hey! Does anyone know when the new dolls come out? A ST. Augustine doll would be really cool. She could either be Spanish and being sheltered in the fort there or she could be rich and go to the Alcazar hotel. A New Orleans jazz girl would be cool and so would a civil war spy. What do you guys think?
D: I kinda wish AG made an actual WW1 doll instead fo Rebecca
Wait a second. Sarah is Addy’s best friend. That means that Denise might be a fifty’s girl from New Jersey.
Wow its been awhile…
Hm, two new historicals? When do you think AG will just stop making dolls?
I don’t think AG will ever stop making dolls! I mean, AG is one-of-a-kind!
I am kind worried that AG will stop one day……..what if they run out of eras?
Hmmm, yeah but that won’t be for a while, you know? They could go into B.C. times and all that!
In America?
I think AG will get desperate some time with picking eras………like repeating eras (LIke making an actual Victorian doll in 1894)
P.S. Wouldn’t it be cute of AG had a Historical doll with a twin sister?
