I honestly didn't think any GOTY could top Grace but Lea is really cute and has some really fun items. Can't wait to get her books and learn about her story. Rhonda, will you be getting Lea?
Lea is incredible. But She does not carry the impact of Grace Thomas. I can't wait to see what activities they can offer girls with ts theme besides going to the Zoo on Field trip from the store. I miss all the baking and cooking classes already. Only one outfit for girl and Doll that match. Not even a matching swim suit for Girls yo match Lea. Thank God fir the Matching Messenger Bag/Back Pack
I hope that the ruffle dress that has been circulating will release by the summer with a girls matching outfit. I was surprised that there was only one matching outfit and it was the one that comes with Lea. Anyone buying just outfits will be out of luck. I have heard WS is planning to continue the American Girl cooking classes but they haven't scheduled any so far.
I have seen at least a dozen reviews of the rainforest hut and yours is the first to show the *back* of the hut! Thank you! I was dying to know if AG finished the back and so happy to see that was not overlooked.
I am amazed at the giant Chicago store display with the oversized hammock and the doll sitting in it! Our local San Francisco store is really very nice but I do get envious of the super-sized window displays of some of the other stores.
You know, I was very excited by Lea's story (I love the rainforest and photography, myself!) and thrilled by the bright colour scheme, but wasn't so certain about the outfits when they were first leaked. I'm not really big on patterns and even though they were vibrant, the tribal/florals didn't really appeal to me much, but seeing the doll and all of her accessories now, I'm being completely won over. Design concept-wise, everything seems to fit so well together. And, even though, I'm still not in love with her meet outfit, I'm loving her theme--the hut and smoothie stand provide with so much play opportunity, the accessories and attention to detail are so great, her trekking outfit is so cute, the plush animals are ADORABLE! Ack...It's too much wonder for my eyes. :) Loving it, loving her! Thanks for the great review.
Anyone else notice Lea is wearing two left slippers in the one photo? ;-)

ReplyDeleteRhonda, will you be getting Lea?
No, I won't be getting Lea. I am saving all my nickels and dimes for Melody!!!

I was at the Chicago on Saturday and I got my Lea doll and part of her collection.
