American Girl Doll News

I found a new belt for AG dolls on huaclub_1984's eBay account. It fits with the color scheme of Josefina's new outfit. Maybe it will be included in the outfit? COMMENT DISCUSSION QUESTION: You are going to live on a island with no WiFi for a year. You can only bring one doll. Who would you bring? MY ANSWER: Jade, because she is in the best condition of all of my dolls. Plus, she's the newest.

There's a new American Girl store opening in Canada! It is going to be the third store in Toronto, Ontario- well, Toronto is a very big city. It will be located the Sherway Gardens mall. It will open in June 2016. The store will have 26 of the 40 currently available Truly Me dolls, the Girl of the Year doll and 6 out of the 8 currently available BeForever dolls. What do you think of the new store opening?

A month ago, I leaked a red dress. At the time, I wasn't sure who it was for, but after reading the sneak peek of Never Stop Singing, I believe it is Melody's Birthday Dress. Well, this red dress popped up off f106884's eBay account again, but with shoes and a hair bow! Let's see what this looks like (don't worry, I won't commercial break you again): Here's the bow up close: And the shoes: I think this outfit is really cute! Along with the pink flower dress, this is my favorite rumored Melody outfit. COMMENT DISCUSSION QUESTION: Will you get Melody? MY ANSWER: Yes! The day she comes out! Even if there's a Macy's One-Day Sale (Macy's is next to American Girl in my local mall) and the mall is packed, I'll still come!

I am so happy to announce that after 9 long years, Josefina is getting a new outfit! Her last outfit (unless you count her BeForever pajamas and meet) was released in 2007, 9 years ago. I am about to show you Josefina's new outfit, but let's go to the commercial break because I am annoying like that about cliffhangers. "Panera Bread is a proud sponsor of American Girl Doll News, because Sydney loves our turkey sandwiches and blueberry bagels." (No kidding, I love Panera Bread turkey sandwiches and blueberry bagels. Even though they sometimes make my blood sugar spike, it's worth it.) OK... drumroll please... I'M GETTING IT THE SECOND IT COMES OUT. COMMENT DISCUSSION QUESTION: Who was your first doll? Why did you get her? MY ANSWER: Ivy (Just Like You #16). It was actually my sister's 6th birthday present, but I ended up with her after I became an American Girl fan. And all of her other dolls too.

The Lea To The Rescue movie premiere was on Monday! I found out from Maggie Elizabeth Jones' Instagram account. Maggie plays the role of Lea, if you just came here a second ago and have no clue what American Girl movies are. Here's a picture of Maggie with Laysla De Oliveira, who plays the role of Paula, at the premiere If I knew where is was and when it was, I would have had full AGDN coverage that day. Lea To The Rescue comes out June 14 on DVD, but if you watch movies on Apple TV/Netflix/Redbox/Amazon Instant Video (which I know most of you do because I haven't seen a movie on DVD in years if you don't count the Samantha DVD I got for Christmas from my grandparents), the wait will be over for you on Tuesday! I will watch it right after school on Tuesday and review it for you guys. COMMENT DISCUSSION QUESTION: What was the last movie you've seen? When did you see it? MY ANSWER: I saw Zootopia a couple of days ago thanks to this handy dandy website called KissCartoon!

Today was so crazy that I forgot to post about Samantha in the morning, but I didn't forget that today is Samantha's birthday! She was born this day in 1895, which makes her 121 today. In her book, Samantha's birthday party gets ruined by her annoying neighbor Eddie, so to cheer her up, her cousins Agatha and Agnes take her to the city to a ice cream parlor! What are you doing for Samantha's birthday? I'm doing nothing, I don't have her.

Today felt like a Friday because all we did at school today was help my teacher take down decorations and play on a math site, but it is a Wednesday because we have tests tomorrow, Friday and Tuesday! (For all of you non-American friends, Monday is our national holiday Memorial Day, so there is no school. If you are American, then you probably know why we have off Monday.) And today felt like a Monday because Miraculous Ladybug wasn't nominated for a Teen Choice Award. And Family Guy was. The shoutout is going to this week: Cockeysville, Maryland! COMMENT DISCUSSION QUESTION: What's the number one thing on earth besides anything related to American Girl? MY ANSWER: The outdoors. I just successfully got a recycling bin in my school for the upcoming school year! Too bad I won't be there next year.... gotta go, I have to write a email to the principal of my future school!

Let's all face it, sometimes I forget that American Girl dolls are $115. And probably you do too. But, in my opinion, that is a bit expensive. (But I still love AG) Some kids have no American Girl dolls, let alone 31 dolls. So, I made a list of American Girl alternatives because I was bored. Not with American Girl dolls, but the End Of Grade test on reading is tomorrow and I was bored while studying.

I found the images for the Wellie Wishers books. The first one is called The Riddle Of The Robin, and it's about the redhead, who's name is Willa. "A robin has moved into the garden, and the Wellie Wishers couldn’t be more excited! As they care for the robin, they learn new things about what birds like to do and eat. But one day, the robin disappears! Will the girls be able to find the robin and his secret? Animal-lover Willa is on the case! This story tells how Willa learns to take lead and that things are not always what they seem! Includes fun activities for girls and parents to do together." Here is a peek inside of the book. The next book is called The Muddily-Puddily Show. It is about the Chinese-American Wellie Wisher, who's name is Emerson. No, not from Rockstar13studios. "The Wellie Wishers are putting on a show, and Emerson is in charge! There are lots of good ideas – but some need work. Ashlyn can’t see inside her pumpkin costume, Willa has a touch of stage-fright, and Kendall has no idea how to make weather effects onstage! Will Emerson learn to take direction so the show can go on? This story tells how Emerson learns to listen and that by working together, everyone can shine! Includes fun activities for girls and parents to do together." Here is a peek inside the book: The last book is called Ashlyn's Unsurprise Party, and is about the Wellie Wisher who is tan, Ashlyn. "When Camille loses two teeth in one day, Ashlyn decides to cheer up her friend by throwing a party. The party is meant to be a secret so the other WellieWishers will be surprised too, but a rainstorm and other woes are on the horizon! Will Ashlyn accept help from her friends in order to get everything done? This story tells how Ashlyn learns to rely on others and that good friends can be the best surprise of all! Includes fun activities for girls and parents to do together." Here is a peek inside the book: I think these books are cute! I would have liked them when I was younger. I'm glad American Girl are finally catering to the market that are too old for Bitty Babies but not young enough for a full-size American Girl doll. It makes me sad when I see a 4 year old carry around a doll with terrible hair. I might get Willa and rename her Beverly to act as Maryellen's little sister. COMMENT DISCUSSION QUESTION: If you could make one thing leak pronto, what would you choose? MY ANSWER: Tenney's collection.

Season 2 is over for Me My Camera and Diabetes! COMMENT DISCUSSION QUESTION: How did you find my site? MY ANSWER: I created this site, so I've been on since the beginning.

This new, all white outfit leaked on eBay. This outfit is too plain for my taste. I hope it's just a prototype of something else.
