American Girl Doll News

I am so happy right now! I looked it up, and a stutter counts as a disability. WE DID IT, FOLKS! WE GOT A GOTY WITH A DISABILITY! WE WON!!! YAY AG! But this doesn't end my fight for more disabled representation in toys. Gabriela will be out for 2017, but guess who will be out for 2018 and beyond? Special Dolls! The 3D printer came, but one of it's sides doesn't work. Dad's fixing it so I can play around with it after school. But Dad printed a square! I will work on the doll models and (hopefully) print doll parts so a Special Doll can join my doll family ASAP! Anyways, let's just SQUEE. THAT. GOTY. 2017. HAS. A. DISABILITY! And all of you kids that say a stutter doesn't count, look up "Is a stutter a disability?" And don't rain on this parade I've been planning since fourth grade. AMERICAN GIRL TRIVIA: This is the first GOTY with a disability! COMMENT DISCUSSION QUESTION: Do you have any dolls with disabilities? MY ANSWER: Of course! Marisol and April have diabetes, Maryellen has asthma, Lindsey has muscular dystrophy (It was reported as "partial paralysis" in her movie, but it eventually grew to that), and Sydney has Asperger's. I want the Arm Crutches for Christmas so a future doll can have spina bifida!

Gabriela's book cover leaked! Her summary leaked, too! Here's the photo: "Meet Gabriela McBride: Gabby loves expressing herself - especially in the dance studio - but lately, poetry is becoming her art choice, and for a good reason: Gabby struggles with stuttering, and spoken word poetry helps her speech flow more freely. Still, compared to how confident she feels on the dance floor, speaking can be scary. When the city threatens to close her beloved community arts center, Gabby is determined to find a way to help. Can she harness the power of her words and rally her community to save Liberty Arts?" This seems so cool! A GOTY of color who's main passion is public speaking? How cool! I can't wait for the doll to leak! AMERICAN GIRL TRIVIA: Gabriela is the first ever black GOTY. COMMENT DISCUSSION QUESTION: Who's the best GOTY dancer? MY ANSWER: Gabby!

On the Simplicity Pattern stock photos, I found a couple dolls that didn't look familiar. I remember last time I found a "new" doll on those stock photos, it was just Truly Me #31 with heavy lighting. But remember when I thought #65 was just #39? I just want to be safe and post these, but I am not 100% these are new Truly Me dolls. DOLL 1: This doll reminds me of my Truly Me #36 doll, Rose. Rose, however, has shorter hair. I am 75% sure this is a new doll! If she is, than I can wait to get her. She looks a awful lot like Rose. This is Truly Me #58 with "what appears to be" decal brown eyes, medium skin and light brown hair. I am only 30% sure this is a new doll, but if she is, than she looks so pretty! I'd get her. No time for a AG Trivia or a Comment Discussion Question, folks. My stomach hurts!
