Wow, what a huge difference between products, packaging and photography between when she was introduced, and when she was re-introduced! It was interesting to see all of Samantha's original collection.
I agree Linda. I really miss the authenticity that these collections had "way back when." For example, Samantha had clothes that were colors other than pastels. The Girl for All Times dolls have an authenticity similar to AG when it first came out.
*sighs* Feeling very nostalgic even though I didn't see my first AG catalog until 2000. So much better presented. And I totally agree about the historic accuracy vs. pastel everything. ~Xyra
Happy birthday Sam! I love Sam so much, and she is one of the most cherished dolls in my collection. I love seeing her featured here. :)
