American Girl Doll News

I have heard a rumor that American Girl is releasing a pajama set called the Sweet Dreams PJs either at the end of this year or in early 2025. I don't know what they look like yet, but I do know the name! They will probably retail for $32, like most AG pajamas do these days.

It's time for the Doll of the Month poll for October 2024! Who will it be: Cinderella, Summer, or Isabelle? (Yes, Disney dolls qualify since they have collections!)

A new Truly Me outfit is circulating on Instagram. It is called the Fun in the Southwest Travel Outfit and contains these items: Purple cactus T shirt Orange, pink and purple skirt Leopard print boots Orange headband Cactus purse Bracelet Kitsy_Xoxo on Instagram posted this outfit here, and it retails for $45:

This morning, a new Miraculous Ladybug special aired on Disney Channel in France, entitled Miraculous World: London - At the Edge of Time. This special is going to air on Disney Channel in America over Thanksgiving break, but I was able to watch it early, so here's my review of the special! The special is set after the events of Miraculous Ladybug season 5, right after (spoiler alert) Gabriel Agreste makes his wish to revive Nathalie, sacrificing himself to do so. Marinette saw this sacrifice and has decided to not tell Adrien that his father was Hawkmoth, telling the world a story that Gabriel was a "hero" instead of the villain that had been terrorizing them for five seasons. She struggles with this choice, and seeing Adrien's reaction to his father's death, but things change when a new villain comes into play, stealing Marinette's Miraculouses and making a wish to trigger the end of the world. Marinette must go back in time, figure out where and when her identity was uncovered, and grapple with the effects her choice had on the world along the way. This special was really good! I will admit, the beginning was a little slow because it was a recap of all the events in Miraculous that led up to this point, and there were other moments in the special where footage from other episodes were played, which was a little frustrating considering I know EVERYTHING about Miraculous and have seen every other episode, but I guess it works for people who don't know as much as I do. But other than that, I loved it! I really appreciated how well the writing was in this special, and how Marinette's character arc was handled in the midst of the fallout from the season 5 finale. I also liked how involved Alix and Nathalie were in this special, and their character arcs as well. The new villain (I won't say who, but you guys probably know if you're a Miraculer) was way better than I was expecting - I knew she had tough shoes to fill after the end of the Hawkmoth arc, but she was even MORE clever than Hawkmoth in her first special, and it made me even more excited to watch Season 6 when it comes out at the end of the year! Speaking of Season 6, something important to note about this special is that it's the last episode with the animation done by SAMG, and that going forward, Dwarf Animation will be doing the animation for Miraculous, meaning there will be a new art style. However, there was a bit at the end with the new style, and it looks great, though I will miss the old art style, of course. But thankfully, there were a lot of full-circle moments in this special that eagle-eyed fans are able to catch, commemorating the end of one era of Miraculous and the beginning of a new one. Overall, this was a great special! I would rate this a 9/10 and recommend it to any Miraculous fans, but wouldn't recommend it for newcomers to the show due to having to watch all 5 seasons of the show and 3 other specials before you watch this one. But if you do want to get into Miraculous, all 5 seasons are on Disney+ and it comes on Disney Channel at least three times a day!

American Girl is having a sale this weekend! Here is the details:

Here are the in-person pictures of the new holiday outfits!

Here's the full American Girl holiday 2024 release!

I checked the previous Girl of the Year's pages on American Girl's website to see if any of their items have retired, and they haven't - Corinne, Kavi and Lila's full collections, with a few exceptions on Corinne's side and Kavi's book - are still available on American Girl's website. With Summer's debut a few weeks ago, this is the most Girl of the Years that have been available at the same time since Luciana, Blaire and Joss were still available when Kira was Girl of the Year, with Luciana and Blaire retiring towards the end of 2021.

In a first for American Girl, the preview of their entire holiday collection has been put on the American Girl site. They will not be available for purchase until Thursday, however.

Here's the tiniest Girl of the Year collection ever - Lindsey's collection. Who should be Doll of the Month next month?

The American Girl x Janie and Jack holiday release is this Thursday, September 26!

Truly Me dolls are 20% off today! (And yesterday too - sorry, I didn't check AG's site, I assumed there wouldn't be a sale this weekend because usually sales start on Fridays and there already was a sale this week!)
