I'm sure I'm not the only person who hates it when AG cubes Historical Characters. The Historicals/BeForevers are the most important line AG has. In the catalogs, they always say that the Historical outfits, accessories, and furniture help girls learn about history, but by retiring those pieces all learning opportunities are lost. So personally, I think that when AG cubes a Historical doll, it's worse than when they retire one, because it makes it feel like those dolls aren't important.

yessssssss
the best hashtags
opinion : if you're going to cube them, you may as well retire them because then it grabs people's attention, and they'll snatch her up before she's gone, or go crazy for her second-hand

What is cubing?
@BinkyBetsy Cubing is when AG puts a doll into a glass cube with limited accessories being sold. The cubed dolls are not usually featured in catalouges from them too. With cubing, there are usually fewer dolls of them in the stores. They also sometimes get retired a few years after being cubed. They may also be hidden behind another display. When Caroline was cubed, she was placed behind all of the dolls in the historical section. This is not always the case for the dolls such as Kit being placed in a place where you can see her well. All credits for displays of cubing go to American Girl Columbus.
I'll be darned. I've been to the Columbus AG and seen dolls in cubes! Anyway, thanks.
I agree! When they cube the dolls they seem to loose there whole collection which is really sad. The collections also helps represent fashion, entertainment, and other things from that time.

Also, I really hope AG doesn’t retire Kit... She’s my favorite historical character
@AGdollCollecter I know, at least when AG retires a doll, she is still valueable on eBay. But as soon as they cube a doll, she isn't important anymore.
