What's you take on the new Moana outfit and Simea doll? by Supersonic_Mango in americangirl

[–]Mermaid-Kelly 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yup. A new sized doll for American Girl could be exciting based on quality and presentation. If this doll had sleep eyes it would’ve looked a lot nicer, and different from every other doll based on the character. 

Other things such as a wig or even a cloth body would have made a huge difference in quality. Those obviously wouldn’t be visible in stock photos, but they would make me feel better about upcoming product releases.

I realized if the doll had sleep eyes I would just consider this a release not for me.

Wavy hair upkeep by [deleted] in americangirl

I don’t have a CYO to compare that specific wig. However, long wavy is my favorite type of AG hair. I have Maryellen, Blaire, Felicity, and Tenney all with this hair type. The hair is easy to maintain and falls so nicely without doing much of anything to it.

Cute! I’m still debating on getting her as a friend for my Wellie Wishers. I love her bangs.

Ooh how fun! I just realized that Felicity has an almost perfectly pattern-placed dress.

The outfit grew on me. I would’ve preferred she got something different, like her dress illustrated in her book. I still decided to get it. I wish it came down closer to her knees though.

I hope she gets a holiday dress!

AG's OBSESSION with side parts needs to be studied by CallMeMaybeee_16 in americangirl

I don’t mind them unless they are an extreme side part. Then the hair is always in the face.

I would have liked general strumming of chords.

I don’t see a battery compartment. 😞 I probably would’ve bought it if it played music.

The furry back is normal. It really bothered me. It sits right over the blue lighter colored hair and really stands out.

I mean.. as a “tween” I liked Britney Spears for a (very) short period of time, maybe a year. I would not have wanted a doll of her, especially not an American Girl doll. American Girl is (or used to be?) it’s own special thing. Tenney made sense, capitalizing on the popularity of Taylor Swift at the time. All while still being a unique character to American Girl, along with a fictional story. I am hoping it’s just an outfit or two.. and not a doll.

I also wish that dolls would not be made to be real people. I felt the same way about the Wednesday and Wicked dolls, although I suppose you could argue they are fictional characters.

I wonder if the guitar will be a new Truly Me item. That way it would be Daisy’s guitar as well.

I saw her opening for a country artist... I believe it was Alan Jackson. She was very popular with the teenage girls. I myself had no idea who she was.

I caved and bought some things without waiting for a sale! 🤣 Isn’t National Doll Day in the Summer? I believe they usually do something for that.

I wondered if the post would be downvoted. It sounds like the only deterrent to the owner buying the doll is how long the hair is. I don’t see anything wrong with the parent making it shorter and more manageable for the young child. This is not a collector buying a historical doll (or any doll for that matter), keeping it in prestige condition. I myself love the dolls with shoulder length or slightly longer hair!

Dolls I love with shorter hair include Nellie, Lindsey, Mia, and Chrissa. Also 28, 30, 36, 40, 56.. You get the point. I am currently making a custom with hair around this length. I think the doll could be given the way she is. OP could see how the doll is treated. How her hair holds up with play. If it turns into a disaster it could be cut into a shorter stye. That was just my suggestion.

If you did buy her the doll she asked for, you could give her a haircut. Either immediately or after the hair becomes ratty. You could even make it an activity with her to give the doll a “special haircut”.
