American Girl surprised us all today- by releasing the summer items on their website T O D A Y TODAY! When I found out this morning, I was in shocked silence... and then I squealed and chanted "SURPRISE RELEASE!" as I got my computer, which was conveniently right by my bed. Anyways, here are the new items! WHOOHOO!
This is Truly Me #87! She has the Classic mold, blue eyes, light skin, and straight magenta hair. She retails for $110.
In addition, you can now choose between the Truly Me Accessories and Everyday Accessories for a $5 discount.
The new Mix and Match Cute at Heart Collection has also been released- and it's Japan themed! I'd be more overjoyed if it wasn't like Justice in 2008- I wanted an actual doll sized kimono and yukata and school uniform.
*Yes, I put kimono in air quotes.*
Anyways, the next items are AG's new travel set, replacing the Travel in Style set from 2017.
These items are also available grouped together along with a story starter in the Travel Play Pack for the AG starter sets and gift trunks.
Lastly, AG rereleased the old store-exclusive tee from 2015 to 2018 as the Star Tee with no store name for $10.
That's the surprise release, everyone! It may seem smaller than normal- that's because it IS- but that's because they were meaning to release the Olympics collection but then the Olympics got postponed due to COVID-19, and more items might have been in production but never got manufactured in full because of COVID-19 hitting China first. So don't get mad, this release's size isn't AG's fault at all.
What do you guys think? Personally, I'm not feeling the clothing, but I really like the new luggage set and Truly Me 87. I wonder where 83-85 are, though...
I see I'm in the minority here, but I don't like this collection at all. The only pieces that interest me are the Cherry Blossom Skirt and the Explore More Outfit, but just the top, skirt, and glasses. The cactus print is cute. But I wouldn't pay $32 for it.
Tm #87 looks EXACTLY like Tanya from the Zebrafish books. Tanya's story part is kinda wrong. She has cancer and is back in school in late September after being diagnosed in the summer? No. She would have to stay away from school for a few months due to chemo or something. She has pink hair which I think is a wig. And in the 2nd book she says she's in remission, but the book takes place in the next summer,so Tanya would still have treatment, as she has leukemia. Sure, some kids DO get better in a year, but not most of them. So the 2nd book was a BIG error in the scene where she tells the boy she's…
Cool though
I bought 87! Look out for a opening video! Also I have a really important announcement. I am posting my 15 min long summer movie when I hit 400 subs so if you want to could everyone maybe subscribe? Thanks!
OMG, a doll with MAGENTA HAIR!!! I am in SHOCK!!! How adorable. This is a true story: Back in the days, before my father retired from his job and was no longer going to work, I kid you not... he actually met a girl who had the EXACT same color hair as that doll! Her name was Marissa, and she was very nice. When he saw her hair, he was like, "Hey, I really like your magenta hair." and she said "How did you know I had magenta hair?!" He replied, "I could just tell by looking at it". She smiled.
