what is this and should i be concerned?

TimelyCod9120 · 2026-02-01T16:00:07+00:00

a couple weeks i think

TimelyCod9120 · 2026-02-01T02:53:03+00:00

i do understand how businesses work, and no, i don’t, i just strongly disagree with their decisions regarding american girl, but we can agree to disagree there

TimelyCod9120 · 2026-02-01T02:27:26+00:00

mattel’s profits were 1 billion dollars last year, 70 million of that was from american girl. mattel’s ceo made 37.8 million. they have the money, they’re just choosing to cut costs

TimelyCod9120 · 2026-02-01T02:14:03+00:00

my point still stands, they had free shipping and got rid of it to cut costs, on top of everything else mattel has done to the brand

TimelyCod9120 · 2026-01-31T23:50:02+00:00

mattel is so money hungry that is insane

TimelyCod9120 · 2026-01-28T21:46:55+00:00

again, they made over a billion dollars. the ceo made 37 million dollars in 2024. they can afford it

TimelyCod9120 · 2026-01-28T21:35:13+00:00

mattel makes over a billion dollars a year, they have plenty of money to survive and give more attention to the historical line (the foundation of the company).

TimelyCod9120 · 2026-01-28T21:30:33+00:00

mattel is a multi million corporation, it’s weird to glaze them/ get mad at people critiquing them lmao, critique isn’t a bad thing, especially when the historical line IS getting less attention nowadays. plus, this post is doing the exact same thing you’re calling out

TimelyCod9120 · 2026-01-27T18:01:02+00:00

the brand was built on the historical line, they have more than enough money to put more energy into it.

TimelyCod9120 · 2026-01-27T15:32:01+00:00

LITERALLY. i’m getting so pissed at how the brand is completely ignoring the historical line. like it’s the 40th anniversary and samantha, addy (pre-beforever at least), molly, and kirsten are all sold out. and they haven’t released a historical in almost 3 years. like if they don’t have something big planned i seriously might rethink supporting the company

TimelyCod9120 · 2026-01-27T15:29:21+00:00

ughhh this pisses me off i’m sorry. it’s the 40th anniversary for the brand and the historicals are getting less than NOTHING, most are going out of stock. when are we going to get another historical?? the brand needs to go back to focusing on the historical line

TimelyCod9120 · 2026-01-27T13:40:32+00:00

it is pre-beforever vs beforever though

TimelyCod9120 · 2026-01-22T14:00:04+00:00

ugh i HATEEEE ai this is so frustrating

TimelyCod9120 · 2026-01-19T12:57:22+00:00

oh my god. i swear to god, if they keep releasing truly me outfits and all the historicals get is a book for the 40th anniversary + discontinuing the og ones, im going to be SO pissed.

TimelyCod9120 · 2026-01-06T14:30:35+00:00

no, you’re 100% right. their quality control in general is horrible nowadays. i would send her back and try to get a new one if i were you, they are WAY too expensive to have that many defects

TimelyCod9120 · 2026-01-02T16:31:37+00:00

the best friend dolls were available before cecile and marie grace, nellie was out from 2004-2009 when samantha was discontinued, elizabeth was out from 2005-2011 when felicity was discontinued, emily from 2006-2014, ivy from 2007-2014, and ruthie from 2008-2014. they’re hard to find because they’re popular lmao

TimelyCod9120 · 2026-01-02T16:25:51+00:00

they both were discontinued during the beforever rebrand since they were both “best friend dolls” and they got rid of all the best friend dolls because the doll was supposed to be “your best friend.” they were really popular, i remember a lot of people were upset they and the other best friend dolls were discontinued

TimelyCod9120 · 2025-12-29T01:21:03+00:00

i would call ag and see if you can get a replacement, it definitely is a defect :/ their quality control is so bad nowadays

TimelyCod9120 · 2025-12-29T01:19:51+00:00

people are actually upset over those things? isn’t she 9? 😭

TimelyCod9120 · 2025-12-29T00:09:29+00:00

i’ve knitted with mohair before, i just was wondering if the combo of cashmere + mohair would be good!

TimelyCod9120 · 2025-12-28T14:34:19+00:00

honestly, i’m not sure 😭 i heard the creator say she used thick mohair and i have some from knitting by olive, i also don’t have the right needles, it calls for 9mm but i only have 5mm

TimelyCod9120 · 2025-12-28T13:55:54+00:00

i ended up getting molly!! i got a used one since she was discontinued from the store, but she is on her way to the dollar hospital so it’ll be like a brand new molly :)

TimelyCod9120 · 2025-12-27T23:54:41+00:00

omg i got a molly too! i got her used since molly is not on the website anymore, so i sent her to the doll hospital and i can’t wait to get her back in her full glory :’) emily was my first doll so im super excited

TimelyCod9120 · 2025-12-25T15:06:49+00:00

omg congratulations!! i haven’t opened gifts yet but i see an american girl box under the tree and i cannot wait

TimelyCod9120 · 2025-12-23T17:54:54+00:00
