*REVIEW* TM 24 and AG Guitar


I bought no. 24


She came in a hairnet, but with no card set.


Her hair waves are very loose.


Wish the curls in back were tighter.


She has hazel eyes and freckles like Tenney is supposed to have.


During the last sale I bought the TM Guitar Set ($34).


It is a great weight. The case doesn't stay open on its own.


This is a beautiful piece.


This set lets girls pretend that their dolls are the stars of the show. It features:
  • A honey and rosewood-colored acoustic guitar with a faux-tortoiseshell pick guard and fret stops
  • A satin clip-on strap
  • A music book and chord book
  • A felt-lined guitar case to store everything





Comes with this cute book.

  1. Her eyes are brown according to American Girl, not brown

  2. Be careful! I bought the guitar a few years back and the entire outside of the case has gone tacky! It's horrible. When I contacted AG, they would not do anything unless I could produce a receipt. I said, "I bought it online, don't you keep your history?" The answer, at the time, was a resounding no. They suggested I buy a new one. Needless to say, I did not. The case had been stored in the original box. There's no reason other than quality that this item should have altered (stored in a climate controlled house - no place with extreme hot or cold). I was very disappointed.

  3. She's very pretty, much more than Tenney. I just don't like that new freckle pattern, or the "lipstick."
    Starting to wish I never sold my #24, & several others, but I had to downsize.

    1. I don't quite get the new lipstick approach. Hopefully, she will look more natural in person. Madelon

    2. I find TM#24 prettier than Tenney. Its like AG tried to give the full lips of the Josefina mold to the classic mold. It's off.

      If AG is going the lipstick route, I wish they would borrow the technology from Barbie and make it lipstick that could actually be "put on". The doll would have normal lips, but using the special lipstick, her lips would color! Even provide "makeup remover" to take the lipstick off. Kids would probably love that for play, and we wouldn't be stuck with permanent lipsticked mouths if we so choose.

  4. Love the guitar! Just to say though, as a guitar player myself, the guitar should turned the other way round... she's playing it backwards! :D

    1. I was going to say the same thing. Unless she restringed it, and now it's a left-handed guitar. ;)

    2. That's too funny. I also play but I play mine upside down (on purpose, it's a 5 string acoustic bass) so I didn't notice. :)

    3. Sorry! I guess you can tell I don't play. Madelon

  5. I hear you on the curls--Lea's curls are that way, and my PC Samantha's curls are loose like that, too. Beautiful, both of them, but they get mussed up so easily. I recently brushed Samantha's with a toothbrush to smooth them back down, separate the sections again, and tried to re-curl a couple, but they came out floppy. Will most likely need to use warm water and try to tighten them up. :\

    2. The curls are much loosed than I thought they'd be. I was expecting curls like Maryellen or Rebecca.

  6. She is pretty. I agree that she looks cuter than Tenney. Tenney is cute, but there is just something that seems off, maybe it is the pictures. I do like the outfits that are potentially hers, but the 'holes' that are being discussed with Gabriela's collection makes me say, maybe not. I am hoping that Taylor guitar or AG sells a girl version of the guitar. My daughter really likes the guitar and is wanting to take lessons, so that would be great, since her favorite color is blue and the theme is just perfect being sort of Julie/Saige sort of.

    1. The leaked images of Tenney's clothes are really beautiful. I hope they don't have holes. Madelon

    2. I hope the girl-sized guitar rumors are true.

  7. She is really pretty! My friend JR. JEANS K8 is hoping to get her sometime.

  8. Your doll is beautiful. I prefer face paint to Tenney. Even though her curls can be difficult, the hairstyles for her hair type and length are endless. French braids look great on her as well as ribbon wraps. I have always wanted this doll but would end up getting a historical set or truly me item. I have a feeling she will be very popular here soon with the arrival of Tenney and the darker face paint for newer contemporary dolls with perma underwear.
