We're nearing the one-year anniversary of Molly McIntire's return to the historical lineup, and due to the timing, some people have decided to ignite rumors on American Girl message forms and YouTube videos that Kirsten will be returning on June 1 or June 8. As the longest-running reliable source for American Girl news, I feel the need to report that this is false.
Why, you may ask?
We already have a major historical release in June with the release of Claudie's second book, and presumably more of Claudie's collection. That date is June 6th, and American Girl only releases things once a month, so June 1 and June 8 would not be plausible. Even if they released on July 1, that couldn't be true either, as Kavi's book is finally releasing that day and presumably more stuff for her.
There have been no hints or clues provided by American Girl and reliable rumor sources.
Kit was already rereleased last month - would American Girl really bring back another doll from the archives so soon, especially one with the same face mold, hair color and eye color?
Finally, the rumor source is just a fanmade YouTube video - not a real reputable source.
Sorry, Kirsten fans, but she's probably not coming back. At least not until 2024 - then, we'll see.
