This concludes my posts on American Girl.

Retired Character Lines

The first line that I am going to talk about in Girls of Many Lands. These dolls were geared toward girls over 11. They weren't dolls that were meant for play, they were meant for display. They each came with a book of their story. Above is Cecile, a French doll. Her time period is around the time of Marie Antoinette.

Next is Hopscotch Hill School. These dolls were for girls ages about 5-8. There were several dolls, however I don't think they did that well. One of the reasons could be that the dolls were fully jointed, so that it you tried to stand them up or sit them up, they kind of just crumpled to the ground.

Another Note


Okay, it has been forever since I posted. Sorry about that. My last post was on the magnetic mini worlds. I actually just got the Samantha one, and my sister got Felicity's.We both like them.

I forgot to ever mention the Bitty Baby line. Bitty Babies are baby dolls geared at girls ages 3-5. They also have a variety of outfits that can be purchased. They have plastic hair. Also sold are the Bitty Twins. Originally The bitty twins were sold as two dolls, a boy and a girl, both with actual blonde hair. Then American Girl Started selling a pair of brunette twins. Now you can pick which dolls you want with whatever color hair you want.
