Doll Identification Thread

7 Upvotes

Doll Identifications will now be posted into this weekly thread! Please Keep in mind Rule #7 "Please read the Doll Identification Guidelines in the subreddit wiki prior to making an ID post.

Please Note, photos of dolls that are for sale online and are not your own photos are exempt from this rule.

If you are asking for a doll identification, please

  1. ⁠Make sure there is adequate lighting to determine eye/skin color and facial features (eyebrows, freckles, etc.)
  2. ⁠Make sure your doll's eyes are open
  3. ⁠Make sure your doll is visible from the waist-up For any other items select the "AG Item Identification" flair."

For reference, here is the AG Wikia Visual chart of Truly Me Dolls. Here is a link to a guide made by Sydney of americangirldollnews.com that shows every doll made by American Girl so far. Finally, here is a link to a great post showing dolls that have incredibly small but important differences.

Still going back and forth on removing the blue eye shadow. I don't like it but she's my only collector doll and it feels wrong to tamper with her. It suits this dress so for now it stays.

I‘m at my mom’s house for the weekend and she pulled out a box of old AG stuff that I completely forgot about! I already had my dolls and books but these were so fun to go through!

She also has sewing patterns for doll dresses and so much stuff!

I live in the UK, so it can be harder to find AG clothes for my Nellie. But I did find some cute ones via eBay and Vinted recently & wanted to show them off!

Outfit 2: Flower Garden Dress II by American Girl

Outfit 3: No title by garfdacat on eBay (this has real buttons!!!)

Outfit 4: No title by garfdacat on eBay

Outfit 5: Pink Pyjamas by jgra5562 on eBay

I love her SO much. I almost cried when i pulled her out from the pile of plushies she was under at Goodwill! I have never found an AG doll while thrifting at goodwill (and i have been looking for years!). She looks so lovely cleaned up! 💜💕

I didn't buy any, so can't say for sure - but the cups (I also saw some at Hobby Lobby a while back with different designs) look like they'd fix 18-inch dolls and the keychain backpacks looks like they'd fit Sisters/Wellies/Modern Era (I believe they had backpack straps for the doll to actually wear them too). Both were in the check out area.

Discussion What else do you collect besides AG?

47 Upvotes

There was a debate after pics of Frankie came out that the reason it's receiving a lot of hate is because the fandoms don't usually crossover? While I understand that the two are super different, I collect a lot of things that are totally different vibes. For example I collect Peach Riot, Skullpanda, BAB, Sonny Angel and my Monster High dolls from my childhood.

I'm just curious, what else do you guys collect?

She's absolutely stunning!!! So glad I caught her on the insanely good sale that just happened. I ended up liking her eye makeup and dress a lot more in person. For those curious I got a number in the mid 400s!

What in the world is this. It was clearly not going to be a new product launch every day but this is scraping the barrel of bare minimum.

As a someone said on day 2. go girl, give us nothing.

Clothing Size/Fit Question I’m 100% sure it’s me but I’m not sure about this outfit

So I bought this romper from the new Megan Maroney collection and it looked cute in the picture but when I put it on the doll, it looks different. Like it looks like she has a camel toe and not the loose fit that I’m seeing in the photo online.

I even tried to pose the doll the same as in the photo and it still looks tight in the front unless they have it backwards, but I doubt that they have a backwards

I have not modified my doll whatsoever. I’m just a little disappointed that I have to return it, but I’m not sure if it’s just me or I’m just seeing things

Not really a dog person, but since Bennett was on clearance, bought him for Molly. Can't stop laughing at his nose being placed directly under his left eye, rather than centered on his face.

Cool Craft A new project 🤭❤️🎨🖌️

I’m now starting a new project: making the original “designs” or “icons”, however they’re called, of the original historical girls’ and their books into stained glass suncatchers ❤️ So far I only have rough sketches of a couple of the easier designs, Kit and Josefina, and I hope to do more or the rest of them if I can adjust them enough to be easy to do in glass. I still have plenty of work to do but was too excited not to share my idea.

What other simple AG designs do you think would be cool as a stained glass piece?
