Thoughts on the New Release!

Hi everyone! Katherine here. Recently American Girl released some new items which I will be going over my thoughts on most of of the items of the new release.

Starting off with the Truly Me items!

American Girl Truly Me Accessories
Truly Me #81

I think she's cute! My only thing is though that AG made another white TM, and is retiring two DOCs (doll of color) which are my favorite (#26 and #62). American Girl is getting better at diversity but it seems like they might have taken a step backwards.

She's pretty! She does though remind me a lot of Josefina but that isn't a bad thing.

Leopard Pet Bed and Leopard Leash Set (Separate items)

This are so cute!!!

I'm so glad that AG is making more pets! I absolutely love huskies!!
 (I just wish they would bring the cats back too.)

Hedgehog House

Hedgehogs and cats are tied for my favorite animal. This is so adorable! I just wish the hedgehogs didn't look so plastic-y :(.

All Star Hockey Set for 18-inch Dolls

THIS IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Mia (GOTY 2008) was a hockey player, but I don't think AG had any other sets after that. This set is just so cute I love it!

American Girl Birthday Partyâ„¢ Set

This is a fairly cute set. I am considering buying it just for the FUJIFILM Instax camera. It's so adorable!
American Girl Bowling Alley

This is so insanely cool! It works and has a concession stand plus the price is very reasonable - $150

Mix-N-Match

Bonjour Fashion Tee & Flower Market Skirt Outfit for 18-inch Dolls
Bonjour Fashion Tee & Market Skirt & Glittering Lights Platform Shoes

AG decided to go with more of a Paris theme which I really like! The skirt is cute.

Eiffel Tower Blouse & Noir Jumper Outfit for 18-inch Dolls
Eiffel Tower Blouse & Noir Jumper & Sunny Sights Flats

I absolutely LOVE this outfit, the blouse, jumper, and shoes, EVERYTHING!! It's so fashionable!
Purr-fect Dots Dress & Sunny Sights Flats Outfit for 18-inch Dolls
Purr-fect Dots Dress

This dress is also super cute!
City of Lights Accessories

The cat is so cute ^-^. I like the watch, but on the dolls the face seems slightly too big for the doll's wrist.
Sunny Paris Cardigan & Parisian Plaid Skirt Outfit for 18-inch Dolls 
Sunny Paris Cardigan & Parisian Plaid Skirt

It's a happy color sweater!!! Happy color sweater and shoes? Yes! I also adore that skirt.
Lovely Leopard Coat & Bonjour Fashion Tee Outfit for 18-inch Dolls
Lovely Leopard Coat & Luxe Leggings

The coat is so cute and stylish.
City Sequin Sweater and Luxe Leggings Outfit for 18-inch Dolls
City Sequin Sweater & Luxe Leggings

I like the blue of the sweater, but not a huge fan of the bow.

However, this new Mix-N-Match release from AG overall I LOVED!

AG Reversible Wrap Skirt for 18-inch Dolls
AG Reverisible Wrap Skirt

I really like this skirt!

Figure Skating Outfit for 18-inch Dolls
Figure Skating Outfit

This dress is pretty. What I didn't realize is AG has a current coral skating outfit, but this one is dressier. (Not a critique but I'm not sure why AG didn't release the hockey set and this outfit in their fall release closer to winter/Christmas. )
Shimmering Ballet Outfit for 18-inch Dolls
Simmering Ballet Outfit

The purple is nice. Nothing really stands out for me.



Blaire's Restaurant Accessories

I like how they are adding more things for Blaire's collection and her restaurant. I could see this set being used outside the restaurant.
Blaire's Casual Outfit for 18-inch Dolls
Blaire's Causual Outfit

I love this outfit! The boots are SO CUTE! Not to mention the scarf that's pretty cute too. The only thing is the outfit seems more like cold weather not summer outfit...

That wraps Thoughts on the New Release! The WellieWishers and Bitty Babies got some new items, plus a couple of other TM items which I didn't go over. Overall I really liked this release especially the mix-n-match!

What did you think? Did you like the release? Will you buy anything, or have you already? If so what?

Comment below and let me know!

  1. Thank you for your thoughts on the new releases! I agree with you on many of them. I love the hedgehogs; they are so cute! I agree we need more cats in the pet line and maybe another bird.
    The mix-n-match blue sweater reminds me of shag carpet from the 70s. I like the color not the texture.
    I totally missed the additional Blaire restaurant accessories; they are nice too. Her cool weather outfit is nice. Definitely for fall.

  2. My daughter saw the bowling alley in the NYC store and she was in love with it!

Hi! Thanks so much for commenting! It means a lot. Since this is a doll blog I would like for it to be a blog for all ages. When you comment please think of these two things. One, no swearing or bad language. Two, be kind to other people and try not to start an argument. If you have a doll blog feel free to leave a link, and I will check it out! Thanks for taking time to comment!
