We are hours away from the new Truly Me dolls releasing! 25 new dolls are going to come out tomorrow, so I figured I'd go and ask you all what are your thoughts on this refresh of the line?
I've seen some mixed opinions, both on comments sections of previous posts and elsewhere on social media, but personally, my feelings are mixed as well. On one hand, I am incredibly excited we get 25 new dolls! You all know how I love every doll American Girl comes out with and like to collect them, so it's exciting that I have 25 new friends to collect. I also like how face molds like Marie-Grace's are coming back! On another hand, I am sad that a lot of the older dolls are retiring, and that there seems to be even more emphasis on activities that aren't just day to day life as a girl in modern America like the older dolls were. I hope that American Girl can turn this emphasis into something good, like promoting imaginative storytelling that reflects the hopes and dreams of American girls for their younger target demographic, while keeping a focus on realistic play as well.
I'm going to bed early tonight so I can get up early and blog tomorrow! Goodnight, everyone!
I think AG came out with too many colored hair dolls and I don't like the painted on eyelashes and the eyebrow mold makes them look angry.
I just checked the AG Website and THE NEW JUST LIKE YOU DOLLS ARE UP!!!! They skipped the rest of the 90's for now and we now have Just Like You #100-#124! And to make things better for some of you, myself included, the two missing dolls from the catalog were NEW BALD DOLLS!!!! SURPRISE!!!! YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYYAY!!!!
i'll miss the old truly mes but i'm excited for the new ones! :D
I'm really excited that the new dolls are coming out tomorrow! I'm going to get the 2 new boys! I'm hyped about that because that means I will now have 5 boys and 38 girls, which means I will now have 43 dolls in my collection in total!!! After I get those 2, I will not be getting another new doll until Kavika comes out.
I wish they didn’t all have pained on eyelashes and dyed hair, but that is American girl, always changing how they do things. I will probably end up liking them more then I think I will, just like I always do with ag.
