My Thoughts on the New Release!

Since I never got around to doing a post on Z's release, I thought I'd talk about what I think of the new items AG released today. You can see them all on the American Girl website here. I'll just be mentioning the 18inch doll stuff, so to see the human, Wellie, pet, and Bitty items be sure to visit the AG website.

 This is Gabby's cute bed. I think all the little items have great play value. 

                                      

Also for Gabriela, this is a cute set, but I think the pieces are small for $75. I saw one blogger mentioned that there is a MyLife chair almost just like this one for about $10. 

                                          

This is Gabby's "Take Flight" performance outfit. The top and the skirt are separate. With the skirt being sheer, I feel like the top should be a leotard. The details (like the butterflies) are nice. The green top has silver threads mixed in. The slippers are cool.

                                      

Tenney's "Sparkling Performance Outfit" is one of my favorites from this release. Although I don't usually buy American Girl clothing except on rare occasions (i.e. 2016 penguin pajamas), I see a lot of mix and match potential for the shoes and jacket.

                                          

Logan's performance outfit seems a bit simple to me, but that's fine because Logan needs more clothing and if it's versatile then all the better! The jacket is very cute. 

                                        

                                          

I hadn't seen the three new Truly Me dolls until the release today. #69 reminds me of #55, but her hair is shorter, more like #33's style. She also has brown eyes.

                                         

agwebkinz010 on YouTube had a custom doll that looked like #68 (I'm not sure if she still has here) and I thought she was pretty cute! 

                                             

This doll reminds me of #46 and Gabriela.... But this girl's hair is so much longer! She is #69. How long would her hair be if it was straightened??? 😮

There are also several new Dolls Without Hair (70, 71, and, 72); they are "limited quantity".

Oh also! I like the new TM meet outfit! Even though the shoes are apparently plastic, I still like them. They are sparkly, after all.

                                     

This hotel theme is such a good idea! It can also just be a doll's bedroom (like Tenney???). I like that the back is like the front desk of the hotel.

                                       

This is a nice set to go with the hotel theme.

                                               

 This reminds me of Grace's suitcase; I think doll suitcases are adorable.

                                         

This goes with the hotel as well! The food appears to be a cinnamon roll, fruit, and bacon. I like it!

                                           

These items seem small for $28, but the sunglasses!! I like the color scheme.

                                           

 I like this color! This is a travel dress.

                                             

This dress is made of corduroy.

                                           

I like this tank top, but I would put it with something other than that skirt. 

                                              

I think these items would be better if they were paired differently. I really like the shoes!

                                           

I really like this sweater. I feel like my dolls need more long sleeve stuff. The skirt is kind of Eastery, I think, which is just fine with me.

                                          

Okay, the sweater goes with these leggings much better.

                                                

I like the color and design of the top! The boots I really like, since I don't have Grace.

                                           

                                           

 I like more glasses for dolls! The colors of these are so wonderful!

                                             

This is blue (I know a lot of AG fans want more blue/green rather than pink/purple) and Logan could totally wear this!!

                                         

I know there has been many lunch sets, but I like these tacos!

                                          

I see a lot of play value in this set, with a tablet, pencil, notebooks, cards, paper, etc. etc. I like the design of the backpack! What does the key go to?

                                             

This is blue like most lockers I see!

                                        

Lastly is this hamster set. I really like this! It's unique. The lid comes off and everything can come out (except for the shavings I think).

Well that was a long post, but I hope you enjoyed reading my thoughts haha!

What's your favorite item from this release?
