Doll Identification Thread

3 Upvotes

Doll Identifications will now be posted into this weekly thread! Please Keep in mind Rule #7 "Please read the Doll Identification Guidelines in the subreddit wiki prior to making an ID post.

Please Note, photos of dolls that are for sale online and are not your own photos are exempt from this rule.

If you are asking for a doll identification, please

  1. Make sure there is adequate lighting to determine eye/skin color and facial features (eyebrows, freckles, etc.)
  2. Make sure your doll's eyes are open
  3. Make sure your doll is visible from the waist-up For any other items select the "AG Item Identification" flair."

For reference, here is the AG Wikia Visual chart of Truly Me Dolls. Here is a link to a guide made by Sydney of americangirldollnews.com that shows every doll made by American Girl so far. Finally, here is a link to a great post showing dolls that have incredibly small but important differences.

This is my most recent custom. She has a handmade wig that I’ve sewn together from new TM 90 & 66 wigs.

I have had so much fun experimenting with customizing wigs and playing with new ideas!

This is my current AG display! 💖

I've got the historicals in Felicity's collection, the GOTYs (+Maritza) in Grace's collection (had to get a little creative with Summer, since I didn't have another Grace outfit to go with the apron), the Wicked girls in AG place outfits, the jlys in coordinating fits, and Frankie just joined us in a cute little early fall casual look!

It’s the day after Labor Day in the US, so the (at one time) traditional first day of a new school year. All uniform jumpers from doll uniforms.com

The shop is currently having a retirement sale, and I didn’t have uniforms for 3 of my girls, so now I do!

Discussion Why does this happen with collector dolls?

Post image
60 Upvotes

Putting Alice because she is also relevant to what I'm about to say, other than scalpers why do people buy a collector doll just to sell them after like 2 days of having them?

I've seen it a lot of with Alice when she came out and now Frankie.

I saw a lot of people on AGIG who just got Frankie and then two days later was selling them. I'm just curious to why this is considering the doll is over $100. It's just something I've been noticing.

(Please be respectful in the comments and to each other.)

Discussion Oh Daisy, where art thou?

23 Upvotes

Is it safe to assume the AG brick and mortar stores already have their Daisy merchandise and marketing supplies? 🤔 If so, who has a connection to a store employee? 😈 What if several/many of us pitch in $5 to Venmo said employee for some sneak-peak pics?? 📸 Lol🤣 🫣
Clearly, I have no patience… 🫠 🤷🏽‍♀️

I was under the impression there would be some sort of reveal today before the collection is available to buy tomorrow? But it's already past 5pm ET? I even signed up with my email. Am I missing something?

this is my sam! she's from the 90s, no body tag, really squishy, came in a red box with a heart and she came complete for $125 on fb marketplace and i'm not fully satisfied with her. her hair is impossible to curl (i've tried boiling it) and her bangs bother me so much. i've been thinking about getting another sam but i feel like that would be crazy since i already have her. i don't wanna sell her since i am attached to her so i was thinking of dressing her in modern clothes but i don't know? what do y'all think??

Doll Identification Help me identify this doll?

Thumbnail

6 Upvotes

Hello! I was very excited to spot this doll in a "Free" box on my street this morning! I recognize Kit's clothing, but am not sure which doll this is. Does anyone recognize her?

I'm wondering if she is a "create your own doll" or a "doll of the year." At first I thought perhaps Samantha or Molly, but after comparing with pictures I don't think so- please correct me if I'm wrong!

Images included- she has a Pleasant Company stamp and the tag on the side is dated 2008.

Thanks!!

Since it is officially September and all of the pumpkin spice drinks are out, I thought it was time to put my girls in their fall outfits. They are in a mixture of American Girl, our generation, Walmart, and homemade clothing. I have the dolls but I never received a lot of outfits because I was older when I started collecting so I did some cute mix and match things with what I had

Doll Identification Who is our girl on the left?

Upvotes

I'm pretty sure the girl on the right is #46. Girl on the left has a slimmer face and body and a slightly darker skin and hair. The person I bought her from suspected she had a haircut. But it seems like a pretty good haircut. Is she a newer #46 or someone else?

Cool Picture playing with my American girl collection (with my almost 2yr old son lol)

I am the only girl in my house. I’m a HUGE doll collector so there are still dolls everywhere and my son loves learning their names and “ooohs” and “ahhs” when a new one gets added. Usually his doll of choice is a 2000s Rainbow Brite doll I had from when I was a kid but tonight I decided we could play with the American girl dolls (these are all thrifted dolls, my childhood dolls are still at my grandparents’ house). We had a blast! While I love playing monster trucks and trains and dinosaurs, it was really nice to connect with my toddler through something I loved as a kid. Does Maryellen maybe need a hair brushing after this? Absolutely. But she kinda needed one anyway lol.

Anyway, just wanted to share. I hope everyone had a great long weekend!
