I bought number 54. I had a twenty percent off coupon and $10 rewards.
Surprised to see no hair net and no boxed card.
Her hair is not as soft as the Kohl's Lea.
She is beautiful. I feel there should be a price reduction for lack of cards in her box. Plus, no hair net.
I really like this doll.

What a beautiful doll!
ReplyDeleteThank you. I really appreciate that. Madelon
DeleteI understand entirely. My doll came the same way which seemed to concern me about the changes in the company and doll presentation. Looking back the boxes were very special. The quality of the boxes were sturdy, the seal was beautiful so the receiver knew the doll inside was truly unique. Your doll is beautiful, and I understand what you mean about the hair net and card being missing. It seems like she is missing her essentials. Doll collectors usually look for these items. By the doll being so pretty you hardly notice the missing items, but it still says a lot about the direction of the company.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I was quite surprised about this change in policy. Also, if you buy the doll in the store you get a bag that is no longer glossy. It now has a matte finish. It wouldn't matter if you didn't know how it was before. Madelon
DeleteI had hoped that was the Icy face mold I was getting when I ordered my 54, but I got the Jess version. I do love her though, and have decided to play safe and get 64 as well. (joys of international ordering).
ReplyDeleteI thought she was going to look more like Ivy, too. Madelon
DeleteShe is Stunningly Beautiful. Shame on them for not giving her a hair net.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Maxine! If this is a new cost cutting measure, I don't get it. I bet they will have a lot more returns on dolls this way. Madelon
DeleteHave your straight haired dolls had hair nets? Don't count Lea in that her hair is not straight. My American Girl of Today, Melody Q, did not come with a hairnet. Neither did Kaya or Kirsten. I don't remember if Grace did or not.
ReplyDeleteI fell in love with 54 at the store. I have not gotten her, yet. not in the budget. And I think my husband would have a fit 3 dolls in as many years. LOL

I have Grace and #23. Grace came with a hairnet. #23's hair was in pigtails, so it was not in a hairnet. I always thought that if the doll had her hair in a ponytail, or pigtail, it did not come with the hair net.
DeleteAll of my dolls from AG came with hairnets, even those with straight hair. I am really surprised about the change. Madelon
