oooh this was really interesting! i really hope they continue to improve the historical line!

okay up until now i THOUGHT tenney was the girl of the year that year

The Marie-Grace as Grandmary theory has now changed my life. It is now truth. Thank you.

I always wished American Girl did what Dear America did and say what happened to the characters in adulthood, whether they had kids, when they died. I always wanted to know if Felicity married Ben.

Not expecting a shared universe from American Girl of all things but a exciting video also do take requests like maybe you could do a series where you rank all the historical girl’s outfits they all share like their Meet, School, Holiday, Birthday, Summer, Winter, and nightwear a video for each group of outfits it would be fun and I would like your opinion and analysis on the outfits and beforever variations and if a girl have more of the same outfit since their really isn’t a lot of videos like that for some reason

Don't support Harry Potter, if you like Harry Potter just buy secondhand

There is nothing wrong to put Naneas outfit on white asian or black doll please STOP being so silly and sensitive for no reason litterly american be making a deal of every single small thing 🎤

Holy crap did I read the room right when I walked out of the store for the last time in 2014. I was a CHILD and I knew that something had become seriously wrong. Dodged that bullet!

I'm so sad. I stopped being involved with American Girl when the BeForever rebrand happened, but it's still a special interest of mine. I saw dolls being sold at Costco and that was it for me. I wish my future kids would be able to grow up with the American Girl I knew, but they probably won't care.

I like American Girl.

this was such a good video! i wish the ag fandom was bigger cause im shocked this doesn’t have more views

I as someone who worked at the company from 2015 to 2018 it was so frustrating to watch the deterioration in real time. “Panty gate” was crazy everyone was returning the dolls and the quality control on face molds was horrible. It’s really sad to see the decline of a great American toy line. I got my felicity in 1996 and still have her and all the wonderful memories. They really need to go back to their roots. History, detail and realism. More wood less plastic. Understanding adult collectors are 20% of their market. So sad.

I don’t know why but I hate HATE the painted on eyelashes. I think it’s ugly.

GOTZ ROMINA DOLLS??? AG didn't make their own face mold in the beginning???...

great video! a lot of this stuff i hadn't heard about before, so it was fun to learn more :)

I’m so sad to hear they retired Caroline. She was the last doll AG I ever got and she is practically in brand new condition because I was scared to mess up her hair.

coming from a girl born in 1980 .. i love the music videos that AG did that’s what videos looked like way before everything became fake

I've had Caroline since around 2013 and I wish they'd kept her around. She's my first doll and I love her and her collection, despite me only having one of her outfits outside of her original one. From now on, I think Im just going to buy the historical dolls. The girl of the years are pretty iffy overall and they are gone so quick. Also, I for some reason have Felicity's BeForever book without the doll. I dont know why I have the book without the doll because I would definitly remember if I got the doll.

i grew up collecting american girl (mid 90's to mid 2000's) and it's so sad to see it go so downhill.

Seeing the person go crazy for the Harry Potter collection killed me almost ruined the already misleading vidoe

Honestly it felt so much like BS when it was only named dolls major clickbait

Look the most important thing is that they need to improve the quality again, as the prices are not getting lower. Stop making 8 year old dolls looks like 13 year old girls and increase the diversity of the trully me line, as it doesn't cover the diversity of girls anymore. I understand that older girls don't like dolls anymore and they are targeting young children now, the ones that the parents won't spend that amount of money just so see the toy get destroyed, but that doesn't mean that it is ok to stop working on their product, they release things without studying, without materials and without advertising. And stop listening to people making noises and backlashing, they will just complain and move on, they don't buy stuff. Work on the product "universe" is what is lacking. Characters used to have a lot of books, activities, and accessories made just fot them, now they are just copies and maybe one or two very silly books.

Hallo from old Germany, warum kauft Sie die Puppen wenn Sie die Puppen nicht mag , nur um ins Internet zu kommen .

Of course they are going to release Harry Potter because it sells. If the doll isn’t selling promotion slows down.

Yes they just closed our Columbus ohio store. Very sad.

Pleasant Rowland evil landlord character arc is maybe my biggest heart break?? But alas, what else could I expect.

I really enjoyed this video! It's an interesting topic of conversation. To me, Corinne and Kavi were the best GOTYs we have gotten in years. Maybe even ever. They had it all: new/unique face moulds, unusual/new special interests, and collections that clearly had lots of effort put into them. Then, we got age appropriate, vital conversations around racism and adjusting to a blended family with Corinne's books and our first Indian American character (finally) and our second character with a learning disability (ADHD) with Kavi's journals. That hit hard for me as a 27 year old with ADHD who faced similar challenges in school as Kavi - I can only imagine what these stories could do for current students with these kinds of struggles. I understand that we haven't had equestrians or gymnasts since 2012 or 2013, and that generations of kids these days are far removed from those years, so I understand including those hobbies for Lila. And as a marketer myself, I get that trying to offer a totally unique, never before seen doll and character every single year would be unsustainable, especially given their target demographic. So I guess I understand Mattel's capitalistic standpoint, but I'm also fully an American Girl doll collector who treasures representation and uniqueness in the dolls I add to my collection. I suspect that given Lila's financial success, we will see "safe" bets like her in the GOTY line in the coming few years. And since Mattel is being pressured to sell AG, I guess I unfortunately cant blame them. But all I can say is I'm glad we got Corinne and Kavi, and I'm glad I added them to my collection.

She definitely had some inaccuracies - it wouldve been cool if Hope had collabed with an AGTuber as a consultant/fact checker but I get that most of her audience isn't as deep down the AG rabbithole as I am, so I can see why it wasn't a priority. However, I thought it was really sweet that she donated all the dolls except Kirsten at the end. I feel like UA-camrs who do gigantic hauls just for the sake of making a video should do that more often. So many kids will be so happy! 😊

Poor Isabelle, she was so overcharged for her😂

When I worked at AG Tenney was in our system as the GOTY

Lila is literally just an eighteen-inch Barbie. She looks like a Karen-in-training. And that horse is one of the tackiest things I’ve ever seen. I miss the kind of products American Girl used to make.

I feel like the beef forever version of Molly, with her new outfit is more historically accurate to her time. Then the pleasant company, Rolland, Molly.

I know the GOTY dolls I’d like to see are a martial artist doll, one that has a pet tarantula, and a neurodivergent doll that partners with the Autism Self Advocacy Network. And if they were all dolls of color, that would be great. Also, I low-key want a Star Wars collaboration.

I sort of remember this, and honestly, sometimes I’m a bit annoyed by American Girl. The barrage of white GOTY dolls was annoying, especially Tenney’s somewhat unrealistic story; as well as their claim to want to show diversity while ignoring dolls of color. But on a positive note, I would have been over the moon to have Luciana as a Latina space nerd. I also headcanon Luciana as neurodivergent

I hope AG goes back to its roots of the historical dolls being the focus. I've never much cared for the Just Like You dolls. Also, one of the selling points for my family, as I'm sure it was for others too, is that yes, AG is expensive, but the historical characters were also educational and could justify the price a bit. The same can't be said for the Just Like You dolls, or the BeForever line, with their often historically inaccurate clothes and scaled down collections. AG is making me want to start my own historical doll line.

as much as i hate to say it, the goty line and AG in general started to get really tacky in 2013 after saige, i literally wont buy any american girl stuff made after 2012, maybe 2013 and if i do have something modern it’s because it came in a lot of other clothes and im tempted to just sell all the newer stuff in a lot myself

I got into adult AG collecting during the BeForever era (I was into AG as a kid during the early-mid 00s Mattel era), and I hated how condescending the whole line felt. AG sparked my interest in history as a kid because of how accurate the period clothing and accessories seemed. The BeForever redesign really talked down to kids, like AG decided if every outfit and accessory isn't super bright and cutesy, girls won't be interested.

Dude, hearing about the bubble eye issue explains so much. The only AG doll I had as a kid was a Bitty Baby, and I hated that thing. One of it's eyes had that bubble defect. It instilled a Tell-Tale-Heart level of fear and paranoia in me. Nightmares. Seeing the defect progress over time made me believe I was witnessing a genuine curse in action.

I think American girl needs to realize that a huge part of their customers are adult collectors and it isn’t all just little girls. Of course young girls are an important part of the customer base, but the adults are huge too and are never catered to. They would make THOUSANDS if they brought back original historical character outfits, collections, best friend dolls, etc. They obviously wouldn’t be able to do this all at once, but starting with fan favorites like Marie Grace and Cecile might show them how successful it could be

The Bitty Baby Bears were everything and I loved the little books that came with them.

They should just made Tenny be the girl of the year and waited till the next year to release Gabriella making her better

I recently heard that mattel is panicing and not making as much money as they want to. Their shares have gone down in value as well. This video shows just how paniced mattel is. (Ag being the most struggling brand in mattels empire)

24:55 OMG!!! I used to have all the pins!! SO MANY! like probably 50 of them, all on a tapestry in my room! I didn’t even know they were from AG😂😂 I collected them from thrift stores and yard sales!! I wish I kept them, but not really, since I don’t collect pins anymore, but dang, such fun times! Edit: idk WHY I didn’t know it was AG. I literally owned THAT tapestry!!! 😂 it says American Girl on it LMAO

All my homies hate Felicity and Tenny

I kind of wanted the american girl tablet but I thought I was too old for it ❤

A few of my old dolls have sliver eyes ❤

Originally bitty twins were availed in blonde or brown hair but the girls had shorter hair

I loved interstar u ❤
