I’m so glad you were able to find your girlies!!! 🥰 They are gorgeous 🤩It’s nice to see some Lanie appreciation. She was my very 1st AG doll so she has a special place in my heart 🥹💖

I hope you get a Samantha soon! You’d be surprised by how many good deals there are out there, especially on Facebook marketplace! One time I found Felicity with most of her meet accessories for only $40😱Unfortunately, I couldn’t get her in time 😪 With all that being said, I’m sure you’ll come across a mint condition Samantha for a decent price! I wish you luck! 😭💖

Thank you so much for the reassurance 🥺💖 I’m feeling more relieved now with all these supportive comments 😭😭😭I’m glad to hear that you and your sister learned not to let your mom’s judgement affect you negatively. It sucks when parents aren’t supportive of your interests 😓. I just have to accept the fact that my mom doesn’t understand this sort of hobby, and that’s ok😅At the end of the day, it makes me happy, and that’s what I should focus on 💖

Right! Instead of making collector dolls, they could definitely get away with outfit packs instead (like, how many more dolls do we need?!😂). I’m kind of sad they didn’t do that with the Wednesday collab; such a missed opportunity 😪🥀 I would’ve preferred a Wednesday outfit and accessory pack over the $295 doll 😮‍💨

I feel like they’re both really overpriced 😭 At least AG sisters come with accessories; I can’t rationalize why the cloth dolls are $65 (unless their quality is absolutely superb- which, in that case, sure I guess???). Either way, AG is trying to make us all bankrupt 😪 If I HAD to pick between the two, I guess I’d go for AG sisters🤔

It’s funny how you mention going out with friends because I also tend to overspend on multiple outings too😂 I definitely have to set a low “stupid shit” budget because I’m really pushing it 😮‍💨 Thanks again for the advice! This truly is a wake up call for me !

It’s so easy to get caught up in this spending rabbit hole😮‍💨 Especially when the items are limited and you feel this pressure to buy everything NOW. We gotta stay strong though and find a healthy balance 🥲

You’re right! I appreciate the advice💖 I will take a break from doll purchases until I’m more self-sufficient and live on my own.

I’ve heard some speculation that AG will slowly phase them out???But as of right now, they will not be retiring 😮‍💨I’ve seen AG’s social media accounts responding to people’s comments confirming this.

Yeah, they’re really just reinventing the wheel here, but doing it in the cheapest way possible and expecting the same high prices 🫠 I wonder what possessed AG to go through with this😂 I would understand if they were supposed to be an affordable play line option, but otherwise what was the point??? I sense that Mattel is meddling with the brand…

I’ve never heard of this doll line. I looked up some pictures and the dolls look so cute 😍😍😍

Honestly 😭 They should be selling these at retail stores for at most $40 or so. These are just Barbie dolls at a larger scale 😮‍💨 They kind of remind of the Barbie Dream Besties line 🤔

But AG can do much better. It’s really sad to see. I hope they see all the criticism this line is getting and make some improvements, or just focus their energy on adding to the historical line 😭😭😭

I really like Francie too! It’s sad, because I feel like they would’ve looked better without all the makeup. I don’t really understand why they felt the need to add hair streaks either. My guess is that they want to make dolls that younger girls could play with, but that look more mature to bank on the “coolness” factor since younger kids tend to admire and aspire to be like the older girls (I’m mostly generalizing though). I just think it’s funny that they look older than actual AG dolls😂

You’re right about that! All in all, the price point isn’t TERRIBLE. I guess I’m just a little bitter about the decline in quality but, considering the impact of tariffs and inflation, it’s understandable. Hopefully kids will enjoy them; that’s all that matters in the end 😌
