and this girl is very creative, but GotY 2021 has been in production since about 2018, so the odds of this happening are low :( and technically, the 2021 GotY is supposed to live in 2021, not 2020. So, although this girl sounds very sweet and the idea is quite good, I don’t think AG will scrap 2021 GotY they’ve been working on for 2 years for this girl’s request:(.
Yeah, I mean it would be a cute idea but I would rather wait 30 years for the historical doll to come out. Every time my kids complain how hard their lifes are, I'll pull that doll out and show them what I had to go through!
I know. I saw this before, and I was like, um, okay... GOTY 2021 is supposed to be living then. And if they've been working on it for years, they can't say, "Oh! Let's just move this to next year!" They probably start producing the GOTY stuff a year or two before they're GOTY. Maybe it would work for a historical, but... AG probably starts producing the stuff a few years before they sell it, so probably wouldn't work for a contemporary.
Your correct. AG starts writing the books 2 years in advance, and trademarks the name in Augustish the year before. Also, this girl’s idea seems like this doll only is interested in Covid-19, and doesn’t have other interests, like how her accessories would be a mask and Clorox wipes, making it seem like her entire life was based around this, while other people’s historical ideas actually have other personality traits.
Its a cute idea (to her maybe) but... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! I'm sick of quarantine ,I'm sick of not seeing my friends, I'm sick of having to wear a mask because 'i have to' Ughhhh!! No. I'm glad they do dolls 2 years before so its not likely shell get her wish. I hope that they dont do a COVID-19 doll. I would probably not buy anything from them that year.
People are crazy! Isn't everybody tired of this by now?!! I mean i would NEVER buy a doll like that EVER. My dolls dont have masks because they dont need them and because if i dont want to wear one im not going to craft one 'for fun'. This whole COVID-19 quarantine thing is not fun.
Sorry i went a little crazy '-' I think im starting to get a little restless XD
Yeah, I wanted to say that but I didn’t want to be rude to this girl, but yeah who would buy any of these ‘accessories’ wait, no these aren’t even accessories! Her ‘story’ isn’t even a story, it’s a PSA that you see on TV 24/7. It’s not interesting, and why is she saying this like a teaching tool? All of the customers who would purchase this have lived through this pandemic, so no one needs a ’learning tool’ about Covid-19. I just want to wait 30 years and get a historical with it naturally woven into her life, not entirely focused on it. I don’t know, just NO!!!!
@Craftysquirrel ya i dont want to be rude either its just who the heck would buy any of that?!! And yes i was thinking eventually shell probably be a historical girl. XD
@justagirlwholovesag yeah, like her accessories could have a mask (just to match what most people have) an iPhone, a mini AG doll, etc. Not JUST Coronavirus related items. And do her parents really have to be doctors? Why not have a close friend’s mom or dad be a doctor? It would still have an effect on her, since her friend could complain about not seeing her family. I don’t know this sounds like the stereotypical ‘she’s lost everything in the world’ kid.
I think it's a good idea but i do think that the pandemic should have some impact on her life. At least acknowledging that it happened. I mean for a 8-10 year old girl that woud be huge. I hope that this all will be over in a year but i do think that there are some higher priorities (in my opinion) for the girl of the year. for instance at the momment american girl has no asian character dolls being sold. Also american girl has been working on this doll for years and they can't just change it all of a sudden. the news with the pandemic changes every day so it would be hard for ag to know how much of an impact the pandemic will have on the world in a year from now. just some of my thoughts. :)
Oh, I’m not saying it should have NO impact, I’m saying it shouldn’t just be her entire life revolving around the pandemic. (Read my idea for a 2020 historical on BeForever) She also just did the stereotypical ‘she lost everything’ girl. I guess I just think AG shouldn‘t Cancel their plans for one person. Because:
They have bigger priorities (Make more DOCs, Asian-American girls, more disability representation, mental disorders, etc.)
AG isn’t very adventurous with looks. Why can’t I have a GotY look like me with dark brown hair that turns blonde as it goes to the hair’s tip, and green eyes? What about the fact they haven’t used grey eyes since Logan, and the last time a girl got them was Ruthie?
Awsome!
Wow I read it and WOW I have nothing to say but I am impressed .
This is a very cute article,
