American Girl Doll News

I love my mom. I know it's my dad who has an obsession of spoiling me, but Mom's getting me a very special birthday present- another doll! Cause there's no leaks, I thought of a fun game to play. It's called "Who's The Girl?". Every day leading up to her big arrival, I'll tell you a clue about her. Then, you have to guess who she is. Clue 1: She's a Truly Me from eBay! Every day, I will also erase some paint from the seller's photo of her. AMERICAN GIRL TRIVIA: The first Truly Me dolls to be retired were #9, #10 and #20. COMMENT DISCUSSION QUESTION: Who do you think is hiding behind that mask? (@theagdollbunch, diversedollies, Kailey, AGMusic, and @agclubhouse- please don't tell because you already know!)

These soccer shoes just leaked on eBay! I know they look almost identical to others AG has made, but it has a black backing instead of a white backing. I know that Lindsey would want these!

COMMENT DISCUSSION QUESTION: What doll do you want next? MY ANSWER: I want either Tenney or #55.

Not relevant to this post but still relevant overall: I got Kendall with my Christmas money! Anyways, my old profile picture had a lot of meaning to it, even though I replaced it to something more recent. It was February of 2015- a very hard year for me. Kids were bullying me. The principal was getting me in trouble. But when Danny, who plays the janitor on Girl Meets World, invited my sister, me and her family to see a taping of Girl Meets World, I felt amazing. The moment I stepped on the set, I saw that the cast and crew was such a inclusive and nice group. When I saw Rowan Blanchard, she said that it was so cool that I made AG videos. Peyton Meyer was so nice to me and shared a funny moment with my sister. Sabrina Carpenter waved and smiled at me. And I got to see a deleted scene of Farkle in a chicken suit- it was amazing! We hoped to go back soon, but it seems like we can't. Disney Channel has made the decision to keep their other stupid shows and cancel Girl Meets World. I want to save it, but not just for going to the set again. Girl Meets World is a very important show that covered lots of important issues. It is the only live-action show for kids that had a supporting character (Isadora Smackle) with Asperger's syndrome. It means way more to people than, say, Stuck In The Middle. But there is hope, though. Netflix saved many shows, including Full[er] House and Gilmore Girls. I heard that Netflix is thinking of making a fourth season for Girl Meets World, and we need to let that happen. Here's three steps to send Netflix requests: 1- Click on Kendall's name. 2- Fill in the three suggestions with "Girl Meets World Season 4". 3- Confirm you aren't a robot. 4- Submit! AMERICAN GIRL TRIVIA: The shortest-lived line from American Girl was a tie between American Girl Minis, Girls of Many Lands and Hopscotch Hill. COMMENT DISCUSSION QUESTION: What's your favorite show? MY ANSWER: I only watch Girl Meets World and Miraculous.

On Facebook, American Girl commented this: "(insert name here), there are no current plans to produce a Gabriela movie. However, Gabriela’s story will be brought to life via multiple forms of content, including books, digital games, YouTube videos, and an all-character app in 2018." So this means that AG's games for Gabriela are coming soon! And there'll be YouTube videos, and she'll get her app in 2018! Wahoo! So much to look forward too! AMERICAN GIRL TRIVIA: Tenney comes out a month from tomorrow! COMMENT DISCUSSION QUESTION: Are you going to get any dolls that will debut this year? MY ANSWER: Yes! Dad's going to the AGP Charlotte to pick up Tenney and Logan for me while I'm in school, and I'll for sure buy Contemporary Character #2 and whichever BeForever which is coming out (a new one, not Felicity! I already have Felicity.)

OOPS! I was so busy last week I forgot to do a post on last week's DOTW, Jessica- so she and this week's doll, Lynlee are sharing a post! Jessica's picture was on the AGDN header from January 1-January 7. Jessica is a custom #13. I added freckles and a 3D-printed prosthetic leg. I got Jessica's body in September. I added her prosthetic leg in December, and she became Jessica on December 17, 2016. Jessica loves babysitting- it's her #1 thing to do! She constantly takes the WellieWishers to birthday parties, to fun places and to the movies- she's seen more G-rated movies than all of her sisters! When not with little kids, Jessica loves hanging out with her sisters- she is a social butterfly! Jessica's only appearance on the SM Network was herself on Lea Clark's New Year's Eve 2016-17, but she will be a babysitter on Me My Camera and Diabetes soon! And now, to this week's star- Lynlee! Lynlee is Truly Me #19 version 2. Lynlee is a talented pianist and hip-hop dancer. You can always find her at dance class on Fridays or playing the piano at the recording studio. She is best friends with April and used to take dance with her- that is until April's trip to LA where she discovered her true self. Lynlee once despised April's new self, but she learned to embrace her friends changes- after all, she's April's go to lead in her movies! Lynlee's only appearance on the SM Network was herself on Lea Clark's New Year's Eve 2016-17, but she will be on AG Adventures soon! AMERICAN GIRL TRIVIA: #19 had two versions- one with Samantha's hair and grey eyes, and one just like Lynlee. COMMENT DISCUSSION QUESTION: Do you have any Truly Me dolls that were once modified/retired? Search the American Girl Wiki if you are having trouble remembering. MY ANSWER: I do! Rose (#36) is retired, and I have #19 version 2 (Lynlee) and #54 version 1 (Hope). I had to get a #54 from the back, and AGP Charlotte only had #54s without the Ivy notches.

I am gifting you guys with more fun stuff to do! I made a new game called Different: Giving Spree. You take on the role of Rebecca Hansen and have to collect toys for the homeless shelter! Also, Gabriela McBride is now playable on American Girl World!

There is a new game up on the Games page! It is based on Gabriela Speaks Out and is called Gabriela: Campaign Crusade. "Oh no! Meanie Aaliyah Reade-Johnson took Gabriela's posters and drew mean things about her stutter! Your job is to click on each ruined poster and change it back to normal. But be careful- sometimes Aaliyah will notice and change it back! Can you help Gabriela win the election?" AMERICAN GIRL TRIVIA: Gabriela has no games on her Play page on AG. COMMENT DISCUSSION QUESTION: My games or AG's games?

I found the cover to Gabriela's activity book! It is called Express Yourself with Gabriela and it releases on April 27, 2017. Here's the cover: SOURCE: http://www.americangirlpublishing.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/AY_DYN56_COMP_1.jpg COMMENT DISCUSSION QUESTION (Skipping the trivia because I have to eat dinner and have a friend over): What leak do you want to see next?

The Gabriela Meet Outfit is now available separately from the doll! It costs $28 without the doll, but you can get it for free until 3/31/17 if you have #46 and get a offer code to put in at americangirl.com/gabbygift.

COMMENT DISCUSSION QUESTION: Do you have a meet outfit, but not the doll? MY ANSWER: I used to have the Kailey meet, but I lost it.

Three years AGo (see what I did there?), I made my first AGTube Video. I started my failed petition to make the GOTYs come back. But, the next reason is the reason why we're celebrating. I started AmericanGirlDollNews.com. I still can't believe it. Three years seems such a long time, but it feels like it flew by. Back then, I was a popular nine-year old girl who had only 12 dolls. My mom was hiding the fact about my Asperger's from me, and I wasn't diagnosed with diabetes. A lot has changed, and AGDN has grew tons. Here's to another amazing year, and more! OK, surprise time! The surprise is.... there's three surprises! Surprise 1 (Not a surprise if you subscribed to my YouTube channel...)- I made a three-year anniversary video! Here it is: Surprise 2 is--- because I missed it so much--- THE POLL PAGE IS BACK! Yes, the poll page is back. I missed that page so much, I wanted to bring it back! It has one poll right now, but I will make more later! And last, but not least- the biggest surprise of all---- I'M MAKING A GABRIELA MOVIE! When I heard from American Girl's Facebook page that Gabriela wouldn't be getting a movie, I decided to make one. It is called Gabriela Makes Her Way and is based on the Gabriela book. I am currently writing the script. When I'm done, I'll send it to my acting school and hopefully we can make the movie together with real people! AMERICAN GIRL TRIVIA: Lanie and Kanani didn't get movies for unknown reasons. COMMENT DISCUSSION QUESTION: What's your favorite surprise?

2 new WellieWisher episodes just debuted! One is called "Now You See It, Now You Don't" and another is called "It Takes Two to See-Saw". My surprise will be in the next post! Are you excited?

Because of your awesomeness, I got to 400 subbies on YouTube! Wahoo! Thank you so much! My original goal for YouTube was 100 subscribers, so I am so happy to have multiplied my goal by 4! P.S: My YouTube and blog anniversary is tomorrow, there might be a surprise for you guys! COMMENT DISCUSSION QUESTION: What do you think the surprise will be?
