Reports are coming in that during last night's episode of the HBO series The Last of Us, there was a scene with an abandoned American Girl store and various American Girl dolls, including Kira and Makena. The Last of Us is based on a video game set in a post apocalyptic world, and apparently the video game had the American Girl store scene as well, so it's interesting that they kept the AG reference for the TV adaptation. However, the apocalypse happened in 2003, and Kira and Makena were not available then...
A bonus American Girl connection: the episode starred Storm Reid, who played Aki, Lea's Native Brazilian friend, in Lea to the Rescue!
