American Girl Doll News

Frankie Stein from Monster High has gotten an American Girl makeover - and she is debuting as a limited edition doll for Berry members on Monday, August 31! She will be releasing for all customers on September 1, and she will retail for either $215 or $225 - I've seen both numbers floating around, but she'll be around the cheaper side for a limited edition doll, making her accessible to more fans.

My mom went to Sam's Club today and took in person photos of the American Girl girl-sized RC car for the blog! Thank you, Mom - here's the photos!

Sorry for the silence on here yesterday. I know yesterday was a big AG news day, but Peter Cullen (the voice of Optimus Prime in Transformers) died yesterday, and it was a really hard day processing the news. May Peter rest in peace - we love you! Anyway, American Girl teased their Monster High collaboration doll of Frankie Stein yesterday! They showed an arm with their unique limb color: I can't wait to see the full doll when they're revealed! (Edited to correct Frankie Stei

If there's one thing American Girl fans have been asking for for years, it's for the return of Cecile and Marie-Grace. The two best friends with equal billing in their stories and three books each were retired in 2014, with the launch of BeForever. But American Girl has retrademarked Cecile and Marie-Grace's names, and user MountBetter on Tumblr noticed that when you search up 'Cecile', the historical character page pops up...

There is precedent with the publisher working with American Girl in the past, as they also publish that one wizard school series that I don't really like to bring up on this blog because I respect trans people,
