That’s right! THAT’S RIGHT! In today’s thing to check off the 2020 Bingo Card, American Girl announced they are reviving the Contemporary Character line in order to bring more diversity for the American Girl line! In a reply to a tweet about Courtney, American Girl said this:


We’re pleased to share that we’re currently developing a new line that includes a contemporary lead Black character, as well as other contemporary characters of color, to debut in late fall 2021.”


How exciting! I love how AG is doing this to ensure more diversity for the dolls. However, I hope that they do a doll with autism soon, since they haven’t done a neurodiverse doll yet. Also, making more Girls of the Year and Historical Characters of color and from different walks of life is important, too!

As a blk person myself I honestly don't want more contemporary dolls. First off, contemporary dolls make less money. Most people like American Girl because of its historical collection and GOTY. What we want is to be INCLUDED in the lines that matter. Why can't we be the girl of the year (poc)? I have plenty of dolls from "around the world". Global Friends, Girls Of Many Lands, etc. I want to see diversity here in America, yet they seem to be focused on other countries here in order to get the pressure off of them focusing on white only characters in GOTY. If they are going to add more blk characters I'd rather it be in the historical co…

@poprock.studios I don't want another black doll with addy mold, I want Makena to be like this: Red hair, dark skin, one eye brown one eye green, with freckles, her own facemold, and a yarn knitted dress.

This sounds so cool! I'm interested in seeing the different dolls that are created for these doll lines, and I hope some new styles will be included for the dolls of color.
