Please American Girl, just STOP.

Hi everyone, this is Willow. If you follow our Google+, you probably saw the changes to the historical line. I could make this a long rant post but instead I thought I'd warn you which items I believe they will retire, and you should purchase if you want them. The information on the new unreleased  releases are in these videos:

If you want Addy in her current Meet Dress, you should probably get her soon. I would also watch any of the best friend dolls, such as Ivy and Ruthie. Marie-Grace and Cecile will be retiring too so I would take a look at their collection. If you want any of the Historical book series, I would get those as well because they are replacing them in favor of new three book series, in which the authors have been switched around, oftentimes. Overall I would watch all the meet outfits as those are different on the new book series. It is unfortunate, but I feel that the second generation of American Girl is probably ending (the first being pre-mattel or Pleasant Company, the second being 2000s to now). If American Girl isn't going to remember their roots, we at least should.

  1. I agree. I don't really like this 'new' AG. Personally I think Kit's new book covers with the blue and whatever dress looks really tacky.

    1. Hi Ella!
      I totally see what you're saying about Kit's dress/book covers. These new releases are really a step backwards.
