One of my favorite parts of doll collecting is being able to just walk into my room and see these little pretend people smiling at me.

Cinderella's hair
A quick before and after of my Cinderella's hair after brushing it out fully, and twisting her hair into curls!
And here it is back in its original hairstyle! It's a bit messy because I wanted to make sure it was even possible, and it is! It's just a high ponytail, with the end rolled under. It actually stays in place without any bobby pins, too!

Long time no see, huh?
Since my last post, I got my first job (yay!), and with my paychecks, I bought Makena during the $65 sale, as well as a Smart Doll, Mirai! She's quite large in comparison to Makena, isn't she?

Guess where Ronnie got to go today?
Veronica got to come along to see a waterfall! This was a fun surprise. My family was going out for lunch, and my mom suggested I bring a doll to take pictures. After lunch, my parents surprised us by bringing us to this waterfall!
The ground that wasn't submerged in water was really rocky and uneven, so Ronnie had to sit in all the photos, haha.
Believe it or not, these photos are all unedited! Her laser green eyes truly just pop in natural lighting!
Despite being a cool day, the waterfall was very steamy! Both Veronica and I had a lot of fun!

I'm loving the new bang style on the new Truly Me bangs! It's neat to look at AG's banged styles over the years, and how they reflect current trends. I've seen girls with bangs like the pie bangs wigs, wigs like the revised bang wigs, and bangs like these new ones.

The criticism of the twins is starting to get to me a bit.
There’s an air of negativity on AGblr right now that to me, feels driven by a desire to one up each other’s criticisms and find the worst thing about this release.
Do I have criticisms? Yes. But I’m seeing a trend towards not just criticism but taking frustrations at AG and extrapolating them into exaggerated versions of fandom caricatures of AG’s behavior as a brand, like a game of fandom telephone.
These dolls will make a lot of kids very happy. They’re unique. They incorporate new storylines, add diversity (and I’m seeing a lot of collectors interpret diversity as physical attributes when it’s really not), and bring back classic traits that AG hasn’t used in a while. They’re from an interfaith household. They have a loving relationship with each other. They have awesome bedroom accessories and adorable illustrations. They’re Jewish girls whose story does not fixate on that as a core tenet of their identity, whose story integrates their faith into the broader tapestry of American culture, and I wish AG had included that in their segment on why they’re important.
And most importantly, they’ve been around for one full day. Give them a break. Wait and see, read their books, take it slow. I would describe myself as 50/50 on this release, but a lot of that comes down to personal taste. When I look at these dolls objectively- for what they represent, for how they’ll appeal to kids- I’m a lot more pleased.

I think Courtney's books were really good, really my only wish is that they were longer, or that there were more. That got me thinking, what if AG still did mysteries? What would a Courtney mystery be about? Considering the timelines of her books and the other mysteries, a Courtney mystery could take place between 1987 and 1989, and Courtney lives in California. Hm, what mysterious events happened in those years in that area that an 11-13 Courtney could solve? Or if they went the route of creating a fictional event, what would it be?
Feel free to share your thoughts!

I love this theory so much! My personal theory was always that all the historicals up to Julie lived in the same universe (loved the Marie-Grace is Grandmary theory lol), and Courtney, the contemporaries, the Truly Me guys and gals, and the Girls of the Year lived in the same universe, but a different one than the earlier historicals.
can you explain how courtney could have a molly doll?
I think i answered this before, but that was like a year ago so im going to say my thoughts again but in more depth because i've been thinking more about it since then. Buckle your seatbelts folks because this is a long, wild, bumpy ride.
We all know the "real" answer is that Mattel wanted to bring more money and free advertizing in just like they did with Julie's barbie (barbie is made by mattel as well if you didn't know)
BUT
The in-universe explantion is much more thought provoking and fun to theorize.
Ok so, my theory on this is that in the AG universe, the dolls do exist (which is now obvious and confirmed) and are exactly the same as in our universe BUT one difference: the stories are based on real people rather than being fictional
So like in the AG universe, the girls descendants (or they themselves, if they were/are still alive) sell their story and appearance to pleasent rowland/mattel.
This has evidence in 3 places:
1: The mini dolls, were originally released as "dolls for your dolls: As in, Historical dolls for your American girl of today. This was changed later, but it still has always stuck in my mind
2: Z Yang's old youtube videos that AG released in preparation for Nanea's release. I can't find the specific videos now, but i remember in 2017 there was a few stop motion videos where Z Yang is seen playing with mini dolls (which are meant to be her own AG dolls) and she also talks about Nanea's upcoming release.
She makes an offhand comment about wishing she could have nanea on her show. Now, if she meant interviewing her own little Nanea doll, or an actual full sized nanea doll being in the room with her (Like how people on here just put all their historical dolls they own together in thier own "Universe" because why not) i would give it a pass but, Z talks about Nanea as if she were a real person who is unavailable for interview. Which would make sense if in Z's universe, Nanea was a real 84 year old woman who sold her life story and would probably be unwilling to fly to seattle for an interview and/or didn't know how to work a computer for an online call.
3: Courtney's molly doll. This is the most damning evidence of all, and one that sent alot of people into a frenzy, and what you orignally asked me. Before this was released, alot of people were content to believe that the historical girls all lived in one long timeline in the same universe, so we could have fun theories like Marie Grace and Grandmary, but courtney's books shattered that illusion.
She has her own Molly doll, and her books go into heavy detail about pleasent company in the 80s. This now meant that
A: Courtney took place in a seperate timeline than the other girls
or
B: they all took place in thier own universes with no crossovers allowed unless dr strange gets into here somehow.
Alot of people thought this because they assume that either AG dolls didn't exist in the AG-verse OR that it did exist, and its exactly the same as it works in our universe
But it doesn't have to be that way! We can still have all the girls on one timeline, with a bit of editing.
So lets say that in 1986, just like in our universe, Pleasent Rowland still gets the bright idea to make educational dolls to teach children the history of the USA, but instead of having authors make fictional characters, she seeks out real people.
This is where the timeline splits between our universe and thier universe (well it split a while before that when the girls were born but whatever) Anyway, She seeks out the story of 3 girls to start with. She finds the desendants of Kirsten and Samantha (Or possibly samantha herself if she was still alive in the 80s) and went straight to Molly.
They told their stories to her, she made it as usual, and boom, pleasent company is born. In this universe, she pays royalties to them or their families for using their stories and image, but the company makes millions so its worth it. The rest of the characters are made in the same way, and eventually in 2020, Courtney herself sells her story of her childhood growing up in the 80s. And that is how courtney can have a molly doll and still be in one big happy AG universe.

Reading people's opinions on some certain someones, I have thoughts.
Some topics should not be made into toys. They're incredibly important to talk about, but should absolutely not be made into children's toys, with the intention of children acting out scenes. Look at Addy, she's wonderful, and her stories don't shy away from the horrors of slavery, yet you notice how her collection focuses on her life in freedom? Notice how Nellie's collection focuses on her life after she was adopted into Samantha's family?
So many of American Girl's historical characters have lived through horrific events. But some things should not not be made into children's playthings.
The outfits, accessories, and playsets I've seen be suggested for Addy, Nellie, and a Japanese-American historical character is absolutely horrific.

Welcome to Tumblr, Hammy!! I hope you enjoy it here.
Hello! :)
This is my first ever post on tumblr… I don’t really understand how to use it quite yet, but I’d love to share my love for AG dolls on another platform! ✨
Here are a few things about me!
1. I’ve been collecting dolls since Christmas of 2012, and my first two dolls were Sammy (a Caroline doll who wears pink glasses) and Marie-Grace. 💕
2. I have an ever-growing collection of dolls, and as of January 21, 2023, I have 142 AG dolls total! ⭐️
3. One of my favorite things to do with my dolls is make stop motion movies for my YouTube channel: AGBob DollPants. I love bringing their characters to life and giving each one their own personality! 🤍
4. I’m also very into doll photography! Below are some of my favorite photos of my dolls I’ve ever taken:
