Okay, so even though I don’t have strong opinion about this, I thought you‘d want to know; no more neck ties. I don’t know what they’re called, but they’re the strings on the back of the doll’s neck. There’s no zipper, or anything like that. Apparently AG feels that 2015 changes can still be successful.
I’ve been a fan for about 8 years, so since 2012, so almost 9 years now. I know this because I bought a doll early December and- no neck ties. I have four other dolls that do so this is new. On the other hand the last time I got a doll was four years ago so this could be a change I wasn’t aware of. Tell me what you think!
It‘s a change made after 2015–my friend’s Grace (GOTY 2015) has neck strings and so does a doll I got in 2017. But yes, it”s a change.
My Maryellen (purchased in 2015) and Caroline (purchased in 2013) both have neck strings but the rest of my dolls do not. I actually dont care which one, I don’t like zip ties because they make it hard to move the dolls head, but the neck strings makes a large gap between the body and head itself. But both keep the dolls head on, so I can’t complain. 🤷🏽♀️
