American Girl Doll News

Today is Rebecca's birthday! She was born this day in 1905, making her 120 today.

After almost 10 years, the AG Rewards system is going to be overhauled later this month. Stay tuned for updates!

American Girl released some covers for books that will be released later this year!

American Girl just announced their newest collaboration - the Ladybug doll! This brand new limited edition Ladybug doll costs $350 and has expensive crystals all over her. Only 5000 have been made, but don't worry, we're going to mass-produce these on April 1, 2026 and sell them for only $125 with cheaper quality clothes! Each Ladybug doll doesn't come with a book, but rather an advertisement to watch Ladybug on Disney Plus. And starting next year, Rena Rouge, Vesperia and Ryuko are joining the lineup, but they'll be limited edition first, as well! The release date will be... APRIL FOOL'S.

From an unlikely source - a local newspaper in Ohio - American Girl potentially hinted at the return of Felicity. According to a local newspaper in Ohio, a fifth grader (who AGDN will keep anonymous, as the article mentioned personal information about her) was disappointed to find out that Felicity had been retired, and wrote to American Girl asking if they'd ever consider bringing her back. Surprisingly, American Girl responded - telling the fifth grader that if enough people wrote to American Girl with the same wish, they would consider potentially bringing Felicity back. The rest of the article is a sweet story, detailing how in American Girl fashion, the fifth grader collected 300 signatures to send to American Girl to bring back Felicity. But American Girl's reply caught my eye because normally, when a doll retires, American Girl doesn't really respond to requests to bring them back. But seeing as American Girl is open to the return of Felicity - who knows! It could happen!

I have thirty-five minutes to kill before my next class today, so I felt like talking about something that makes me kind of mad, but it's been a trend I've been noticing in society for the last few years. In 2020, American Girl started doing collaborations with other brands. First, the Olympics, then, other fashion companies. Then, in 2022, other media franchises - making outfits and dolls based on established intellectual properties, like Harry Potter, Barbie, Disney, etc. We have a full blown Disney doll line now, and more dolls based off of other intellectual properties are coming, including Wednesday and Wicked. And it seems like every other release is American Girl not fleshing out it's own lore, but tacking onto something else. This parallels how things have been in the entertainment industry. They're remaking everything, giving everything prequels and sequels, spending so much money focusing on making things based on other properties, while not giving creatives time to flourish. Not investing in original ideas, not really giving things that aren't established the time of day. This trend started around the late 2010s in greater society. But in the 2020s, it has been the defining feature of how American Girl has changed as a company. I don't know - what are your thoughts?
