American Girl Doll News

With the Grace item sale today, a lot of items sold out from her collection. These include the baking outfit and set and the travel coat and set. #December2015

Now that Lea leaked and now Lea leak-finding is over, let's take a moment to think about Tenney Grant, the 2017 Girl of the Year! All we know is her name, but we can be wild and think of our hopes for her! I hope that she is a stopmotioner. Lea being a photographer is pretty cool, but that would take it to a whole new level. I also think it would be cool if she was some kind of musician. I mean, an instrument, not a singer. I hope that they reuse the Marie Grace face mold. I also, in my wildest dreams, hope that there is one star to her movie: me! #December2015

IM HYPERVENTALATING SHE LEAKED MORE PHOTOS: #December2015

@deenaandbeena found a better image of the "Lea Dives In" cover. #December2015

A new trademark for a doll was filed on Wednesday. She was trademarked with a last name and just a first name. This can be Girl of the Year 2017 because American Girl is generally trademarking the GOTY names with a last name now, and Grace Thomas was trademarked around this time in 2013. The GOTY 2017's name is..... TENNEY GRANT! I like how American Girl didn't make it sound generic like they have been doing lately, but I think Tenney sounds like a boy's name. Anyways, I like it. #December2015

It's official- Lea is the name! Plus, we got a low-quality photo of her first book cover. She is by a beach holding a camera.

I went on the Small Dolls in a Big World site and found a leaked skirt that was polka-dotted. The author said that she thinks it's for a new birthday outfit because the current one is almost 2 years old (and the life span for most Truly Me items is usually 2 years). I agree too. It looks Bitty Babyish to me, but if it's paired with a cute top, I'll buy it on sale, maybe!

On the AG website, #59 is listed as "no longer avalible." Is this true? I'm going to call AG first thing when I get up, but I'll email them now. I went by the name Elizabeth, but my name is not Elizabeth, it's Sydney. (And this scenario is fake, I didn't want them to think that I was doing this for a leak blog.) My email: To AG, Hi. My name is Elizabeth. On your website, Truly Me #59 or Light Skin, Layered Brown Hair, Brown Eyes or #CLD80, is listed as no longer avalible. Is this true? Will she ever be in stock again? She is the only thing that I want for Christmas besides an iPhone 6s. Please respond soon! Elizabeth

I found this sweater on f106884's eBay account. Thoughts?

To all of you Canadian fans- @thecharmingdoll on Instagram just posted that the Grace movie would air on Family Channel at 7:30 pm on Friday, November 20th! I also found out that the movie would air again the same day on the same channel at 10:55 pm. Let's see if we get a American TV premiere soon!

I'm making a list of names that AG trademarked a long time ago and abandoned that never came into use. Keitra, trademarked 2002, abandoned 2004 Rebekah, trademarked 2003, abandoned 2007 Lia, trademarked 2004, abandoned 2006 Shelly (hey, I have a #21 with that name!), trademarked 2005, abandoned 2007 Diane, trademarked 2005, abandoned 2009 Laurette (interesting, cause there's a Lauretta in ASTB), trademarked 2008, abandoned 2011 Emeline, trademarked 2008, abandoned 2011 Teagan, trademarked 2013, abandoned 2014

UPDATE- JULY 12, 2016= Girl of the Year 2017's name is Tenney Grant, and she is going to be African-American! Proof is, her book author is African American, too! This is Teresa E. Harris! Woah! Since we have so much information on Lea (GOTY 2016), it's time to start thinking of GOTY 2017! When I met Mary Casanova in June at AGP Charlotte (I was first in line!), I asked her a question. Me: "I know that you did Jess in 2006, Chrissa in 2009, McKenna in 2012 and Grace in 2015." Mary: (signs my books) "Yes?" Me: "Well, will you do Girl of the Year 2018's books?" Mary: "I'll find out next summer!" Inferring from what Mary said, AG probably found the author for GOTY 2017's books and thought of a simple plot this summer. So, we can start thinking of basic stuff, like names! We have quite a few names now, like Barbara, Emerson, Camille, Gabriela and Melody Ellison. I made a list of trademark dates for GOTY names, so we can guess if the GOTY name is trademarked now. Lindsey got trademarked on September 24, 2001, 2 months before her debut Kailey got trademarked on September 27, 2002, 10 months before her debut Marisol got trademarked on January 31, 2004, 10months before her debut Jess got trademarked on December 16, 2004, 11 months before her debut Nicki got trademarked on unknown Mia got trademarked on unknown Chrissa got trademarked on February 22, 2008, 10 months before her debut Sonali got trademarked on February 22, 2008, 10 months before debut Gwen got trademarked on unknown Lanie got trademarked on February 22, 2008, 1 year and 10 months before debut Kanani got trademarked on February 23, 2010, 10 months before debut McKenna got trademarked on October 18, 2010, 1 year and 2 months before debut Saige got trademarked on January 25, 2012, 11 months before debut Isabelle got trademarked on November 16, 2012, 1 year and 2 months before debut Grace got trademarked on December 16, 2013, 1 year before debut Do you think that she'll be trademarked next month?
