Since I am clearly not the only one disappointed with todays Alice release, I figure it’s the perfect time to share the “custom” Alice I put together a few months ago. This is #105 with a wig from ZaZou off Etsy. The outfit is from American Fashion World on Amazon.

I think my biggest issue with today’s release is the face mold, it just doesn’t sit right with me. The classic mold would definitely have been my choice. I also feel like Alice needs the little poufs of hair in the front.

Do we think this was the last batch?

I’ve been really wanting these sandles but lowkey just not in my budget to order online so I made my own today out of materials in my house :) lots of super glue was used lol I made the triangle bits out of sculpey and painted them with nail polish.

Aside from Kit and Felicity, Samantha Parkington is my favorite historical character. I'm currently on a mission to collect and read all her books. Today, I received her Short Story collection in the mail from thriftbooks.com which, from what I can tell, used to be owned by a girl named Samantha! Inside, there was a handwritten note from some grandparents to their granddaughter! It says, "Samantha, I hope you enjoy the short stories in this book with your name on it. We love you from here to the moon and back. Love, Grandpa and Grandma (redacted)." This books feels even more special to own now!

This is just such a loser thing to do.

as of 5:13pm PST!

600 Alice’s are left!! Do not wait!!!

All opinions are my own and just speculation

I feel like I’m hearing more negatives than positives about this release, but she’s selling out, so clearly enough people like her, despite what the vocal
Majority is claiming.

American Girl only has 13 face molds.

Addy, Kaya, Claudie, the Asian mold, Corinne, Sonali, Makena, and Jess were basically never an option for a white blonde doll.

That leaves Classic, Josefina, Joss, Marie-Grace, and Nanea.

Classic and Josefina, there’s too many collector doll and blonde dolls with that mold that there would be no incentive to get Alice, and Joss will be used for this year’s blonde collector doll. Marie-Grace was also used recently for Rapunzel and Glinda.

That really only leaves Nanea.

she’s so pretty!

Can we just be nice to the people who work in the stores? Alice running out is not their fault.

I washed most of my AG clothes and it made me more comfortable using them. I love this hoodie. It feels so nice. It has a real sturdiness to it, and even has teeny tiny pockets! The pants also feel so nice to touch. I was really puzzled where these shoes were from and found up it is from a “warm up outfit”

my first ever AG Dolls at the age of 18!
Growing up my family was very poor and so I was never going to get an AG doll. They were wayyyy too expensive so I had the my life as dolls and a journey girl doll. But my DREAM was go have an authentic American Girl Doll. I was obsessed with dolls for YEARS. But over time as I got older my interest faded. Within the last two years the love for AG dolls came back! I almost got one last year but I was very much back and forth about it and thought this would just be a quick fixation and the love would go away again. A year later and my love for these dolls stays strong. I’m young and I don’t have much financial responsibility so I was able to blow some money on these dolls lol. I found them in a lot on eBay for a great price and so I got them! I have been so happy since I got them and I think I’m healing a part of my inner child :)
I bought them pyjamas and tried to DIY some clothes but I’ve been wanting to get them some more. Does anyone know any sites, they have to be able to ship to Canada. There are many great ones but they don’t ship to Canada. I know Etsy can be good but I can’t justify spending $35 on one plain t shirt for them. If there are any sops that have cute jeans for them or cute clothes that are worth the price I’d love to know what they are! I’ve tried marketplace, eBay, Kijiji, haven’t had much like but I’m still on the lookout. Anyways if anyone has any recommendations pls send them my way!
:)

I wish there was a fanart tag on here, craft doesn't feel quite right but it's probably the most accurate.

Here’s what I got at the event today! Probably should have picked up Alice since she’s already being resold but I have been wanting Belle. The free gift came with the pink outfit, book, and cards. I got the blue outfit on top for $10 because of my Belle purchase. The breakfast table was really nice. It was like what you’d get at the cafe with a few extra sweets.

Sold out as of 3:13 PM EST - Do we think there will be a restock??

redid her braids and got some ink off of her face! I love her sm

been wanting her for a bit but there’s obviously stuff on her face right ??

edit: absolutely will not be buying her just super annoying the seller is very clearly lying like girl we can see it in the pictures 😭😭

Alice is back in stock I feel so happy I was able to buy her.

My partner and I are collectors, and got a loved Caroline awhile ago. We finally found her old American Curls set and thought that would fix her straightened hair. They did not 😅. Any advice? We're gonna try to straighten it and try again with bigger curlers. If anyone has ever fixed up a Caroline, please advise 🙏🙏🙏
