I guess I saw the writing on the wall. I am not really upset about boy dolls since Bitty Twins included boy dolls, but I think the 18inch boy dolls should include a twin girl 18inch doll. AG really needs more diverse dolls not just boy dolls. The possibilities are endless with hair colors, dimples, longer wigs or different cuts like banged bobbed wigs or cropped. Maybe even more multicultural dolls since AG is expanding unto more countries. But to just focus on more boy dolls limits the company potential.
I'm guessing an African American one, an Asian American one, a Hispanic American one, and a blonde. That covers the major diversity groups in the US and adds in the blonde to go with Logan the brunet. It will be interesting to see if they try to recycle current face molds again or if they come up with new ones.
I'm surprised they don't just create a side branch line called American Boy. They separated out the WellieWishers. Girls that like having boy dolls in their collection won't care about the name change. Boys that collect dolls (like my son) would probably prefer to just call it American Boy doll vs American Girl boy doll.
I'm curious if they'll release matching shirts. Entire outfits are unnecessary, but matching shirts, maybe PJ sets, would be appreciated. It'd be nice to have more options. I was really surprised a unisex matching Play it Loud t-shirt wasn't released with Logan. Missed opportunity!
I wish they would focus on more in depth girl collections, especially historical ones. Madelon
ReplyDeleteI agree! I feel like American Girl is at its end, & they should just change their name to Wordly Dolls or something like that.
DeleteI feel like you!!!! A new name to high prices and lower quality. Pleasant R. would be so disappointed
