Do you prefer Historical dolls or BeForever dolls. In my opinion some of the dolls I like better in Historical version and other dolls I like better in BeForver version. For example I like Historical Kit better than Beforever Kit and I like Addy better in BeForever version than Historical. Have an amazing day-Clarkie:)

Historical is always my first choice. Modern I have avatar game.
Historical all the way!
I prefer Historical dolls by a longshot. Some of the BeForever dolls look like junk... (No offense...) I love BeForever Addy though, same with Rebecca as well.
Beforever books I like, they’re longer. But the historical dolls are better. Beforever, as @starlightglimmer25 said, is just a pink, modern revamp. And the name “Beforever”... Ick. GLAD they changed it back.
animestories I know right! I love BeForever but they put lots of pink in it!:) But I could never say I liked one better than the other
I liked the historical ones better. Starting with the title of the Historical Collection. Beforever is a weird title in my opinion. I also think the new outfits are tacky. Just my opinion. The older ones had more time ready fashions and versatility when it came to color and style. The new ones look a little too modern for my taste, especially Samantha's wardrobe. And God...if they don't stop throwing pink in everything! The quality of the old one is also better as well as the quantity of items for each girl. Also, the AG items not only reflected the scenarios in the story, but they also added to the time period. Everything in the collection taught something about the time period. Not to mention I miss the price of the Historical line. Back then I could get two AG for the price of one today.
Don't get me wrong...I like that AG is still trying to make history themed dolls because that is my favorite doll collection...but if I had to choose, the historical collection was just loads better than Beforever in terms of quality and quantity.
designsbymaelyn I agree with everything you siad:)
Hmmm, I'd say historical. Although I like Kit's old outfit better than the one. Rebecca's new outfit is better than her old one. Samantha's new outfit is better than her older one. BUT I NEED CAROLINE TO COME BACK LIKE NOWWWWWWW
Offical_Princess_K thanks for sharing your opinion:)
starlightglimmer25 I really miss Historical! Although when I found out about AG dolls American Girl had JUST changed it to BeForever! But I like BeForever they're nice! By the way I followed you!:D
ThatAGLife I also wish there were pictures in the newer books
Sydney I agree
I like most of the dolls better in Historical, but the meet outfits are cuter even though they're less historically accurate.
HISTORICAL! Now it's just pink, pink, pink, and more PINK! I don't even like pink! I do like the 3 books instead of 6, though. Just wish there were pictures in them!
I honestly don't like BeForever, its really just modern Historical dolls. I like the BeForever exclusive dolls, they seem to be nice. But overall historical is wayyyyyyyyyy better in my option.
I also like historical Kit!
Also historical Julie's outfit was cuter too.
As for beforever, I love Maryellen!
