American Girl Doll News

The American Girl Cyber Monday sale has been extended! Today, nearly everything on American Girl's website is 30% off, including Cinderella, Ariel, Tiana and Rapunzel!

Well... this is probably the saddest I'll ever be posting on AGDN. Because today, American Girl announced my home American Girl store, Charlotte, is closing on February 17th. I should have seen this coming - the lease was up, and AG would rather renew Orlando's lease than Charlotte's. But I kept delusionally checking the site, looking for any sign that it would stay open, but nope. AG sent the email out today. It's closing. For real. I'm so upset right now. I know I'm going to be in Nashville during college for the next two and a half years, which guarantees me access to the next 2 Girl of the Year releases for you all, but after that? I don't know. My plan was to move back to Charlotte after college, but because of my career paths, I will be traveling a lot, so my hope is that I'll be able to find a way to take pictures for you all for the big AG releases (GOTY launch, any historical launches or refreshes) after that. I've gotten a lot of comments over the years that my store photos have helped a lot of you guys who's local stores have also closed, and my hope is that if I'm able to still get to the stores that aren't closing, I can still make that happen. And also, one more thing... I'm going to try to get to Charlotte on February 17th so I can go to the store on the last day of operation.

We have made it to the last month of 2024 - it's time to see who will be the Doll of the Month for December! Will it be Mia St. Clair, Moana, or Chrissa Maxwell?

On the American Girl website, Summer's Bake Sale Outfit is marked as Sold Out. It will probably be restocked - at least, I hope so - but if it doesn't come back, it will be the first Girl of the Year item to sell out before the official start of the Girl of the Year's year.

Today is the last day for American Girl's sale, and special doorbuster sales that are only available for a day. Today's one day only sale is 30% off the American Girl Hotel and Spa: which costs $228.

For the first time ever, the Girl of the Year from American Girl, Summer McKinny, is from Maryland. To mark this, a local news station in Maryland interviewed the community care and advocacy director with the Maryland Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, Katie Flory, who helped advise American Girl on Summer's story, for more details. In this interview, it was revealed that Summer is from Maryland because the author of her books, Clare Hutton, is from Maryland, and her aunt Olivia lives in Fells Point, Maryland, which is a half hour from Columbia, where Summer lives. The interview also reveals that Katie Flory made sure Summer was walking a safe number of dogs, and even had them change a cat treat recipe to make it safer. Flory said: "We wanted to make sure...they were small enough for the cat, maybe in the first part of the story, they were a little bigger than maybe what they should be for a cat. So we just wanted to make sure that anyone would be able to make them and provide them to that to that animal that might be in their home." "When they contacted us, I really didn't know that they put this much effort and reality into it. It was really important to us that they weren't just making a doll for the sake of making a doll that she really is an American girl from our state."

Until tomorrow, American Girl is having a sale - and a special doorbuster sale that is only available for a day. Today's one day only sale is 30% off Summer's Treat Cart and Bake Sale Outfit. The Treat Cart is $88 and the Bake Sale Outfit is $24.

The American Girl Disney Princess dolls are now available on the Disney Store website.

With the recent sellout of Kavi and the release of the Wicked movie, this latest stock update from Kavi's world makes sense: her Elphaba costume set is now sold out.

Over the next 3 days, American Girl is having a sale - and a special doorbuster sale that is only available for a day or two. Today's two day only sale is 35% off Hollyhock and the Honeycrisp Hill Horse Stable - Hollyhock is $85, while the Horse Stable is $114.
