I haven't collected AG in a long time, because I can no longer afford it, but to me I kind of struggle to see the Disney AG collaboration as anything except a cash grab. Are these dolls really worth the same as a a 300 dollar handmade collaboration? This is a mass produced doll. Her face is painted in the factory and her dress is machine made. You aren't paying for the time and labor of a single artist to do this. And at 300 dollars AG can't even be bothered to give Belle all of the ruffles on her dress or give Elsa a rhinestone bodice instead of a sequence bodice. I also don't think the swarvoski crystals justify this. In my experience, products that have swarvoski crystals tend to be dirt cheap or prohibitively expensive. There's no consistency. So I am skeptical of any claim that insists the price is driven by just that. They look like play line dolls and feel like playline dolls. I think the reason that these dolls are 300 dollars has nothing to do with any quality. It's just like this because AG can charge that much, therefore they will. The Disney Store Limited Edition dolls and the Mattel Creations 12 inch collector disney dolls have experience similar price hikes. It just leaves a sour taste in my mouth. Because you're absolutely right. If a kid asks their parent, why Belle costs more than Tiana, there really is no way to explain it. I also agree that this collaboration feels like the wrong direction for AG. To me it feels like AG is being taken in the same direction as Barbie and other playline dolls. The themes are all fantastical and whimsical and girly rather than grounded in reality. Also with an upcharge. The way these are being sold also feels very Barbie like. The princess dolls come all dressed up in their ball gowns, and then the playline dolls also come with some extra outfits. Other AG characters usually just come with their basic outfit and then you get other things like their party dress later. I can't help but feel that in a different time, AG would have just sold the princess dresses as something you could put on truly me dolls. That might be too optimistic though. :/

I'm shocked u don't like disney princess dolls, considering how you love girly, high fem dolls 😮 no judgment, im not a big disney doll person either 😂anyways these dolls look good but that pricing? In this current economic climate no maam

I agree, the Disney line feels wrong for AG. I was so put off by the playline release (even though it makes more sense than the collector series) that I couldn't talk about AG for months without getting majorly worked up. That being said, I absolutely used a stash of points I had to get Anna. I have ZERO problem separating these sisters and only getting one 😂 I find the Anna doll to be so strikingly different and interesting. It's not even really about the source material for me, I just think she's captivating. If i hadn’t been able to get the doll for virtually half off, though, I doubt it would have happened. I also adored Belle, but couldn't afford her at the time, and i still regret missing that chance. Pretty sure that's also why I jumped on Anna's preorder so quickly. Timing!

I just bought Elsa I couldn’t help it!! I don’t even want the fancy dress I just really like the doll 😂 I’m so happy Anna didn’t y have the white streak but I can afford 650$ worth of dolls so

I think the price went up for these dolls because the price went up for all character dolls, it's a $10 mark up from last year and that's how much more they are this year. I think the Frozen sisters will be coming out in Playline soon, maybe closer to the holidays or next year, there were some boots that looked alot like Elsa's being sold via that person that sells excess AG items on eBay a couple months ago, and they looked like playline quality. While I do think the Disney Princess collab is pretty cute I really wish AG would put as much effort into the historical girls as they are with all these collaborations. 😕 I really miss when that was the main focus, but sadly, AG stopped being a continuation of Pleasant Rowland's vision yeeeerars ago and I doubt it's going back any time soon, if at all. 😥 I do have to say though, the features AG used for Anna are absolutely fantastic and while I'm not really a big Frozen fan I want her just for her combination, she is an absolutely stunning doll!! 😍

I think the brand is evolving & fantasy and imagination are very important in a child’s life. It helps them to grow up to be a creative and empathetic person . Even Pleasant R. has bailed and is living in a mansion. Personally the Historical AG line is a personal favorite. Though I am a Disney girl at heart & didn’t grow up with AG as a small child. I am sure AG knew this was a money maker, lol! I do enjoy seeing my childhood favorites come to life with AG. I just don’t even know what I am going to do if faced with Merida, Snow White, & Sleeping Beauty at the same time!!!! My wallet may pass out! I can only afford the play line & MUST come up with a strategy!

I'm happy for the people who are very passionate about Disney, but I agree, it is a pass for me. I just hope that they take these massive profits from all the Disney dolls and use that money to make the historical line even better!

Your collection is so cute! Opal is also my favorite she is so gorgeous and so well done!

The regular Disney Princess and her other outfits are $245 as opposed to the Frozen Doll @ $310. The Princess doll makes more sense for a kid for sure. It’s a shame that these two, who kids love, are not really play dolls.

I love the Frozen dolls, but I. AM. NOT. PAYING. $300+! I know Frozen is popular, but in my opinion, you can make your own Anna or Elsa.

I agree this Disney thing is…well is. I mean for a while AG was in trouble things weren’t selling. I guess people like Disney Princesses an easy sell. But yes, it is AMERICAN GIRL not DISNEY GIRL. I don’t understand why they pick some Disney princess Princesses to be covered in crystals to demand a $300+ prices while others are “playline” that just have extra outfits. I understand the Christmas thing but this is something different. I don’t like it myself no book for one. Wasn’t AG made to encourage girls to read and learn about history? Disney doesn’t cut it. Only Pocahontas and Tania took place in the U.S.

I agree with your commentary. I purchased Tiana because of the price point , and at some point I might get Ariel, but I’m marked safe from purchasing the Frozen collection . I’ve never seen Frozen , so I’m not a big fan, but folk’s love them, and I’m disappointed for them because of the price . Lastly I agree AG , and the collaborations is a bit much especially the Barbie limited edition doll , but it’s Mattel’s influence plain and simple.

I really like these dolls but don’t think I would get a custom myself

I collect American Girl dolls and our generation dolls. I'm waiting for kaya to come in the mail. Can't wait until she gets here. She is gonna be a great addition to my collection

I have a lot of American Girl Dolls. I also have quite a few Our Generation dolls. I'm even waiting for kaya to come in the mail some time next week. If your anything like me, you won't stop collecting and will keep adding to your collection. And it's kind of ironic that you have a visual impaired because I do too. I love your dolls

I really like Roxxi, Primrose and your Jess Mold girlies! I'm pretty sure Roxxi's eyes are custom, not AG.

My favourite customs in your collection are definitely Merlot, Roxy and Yasmin! I also think they have my preferred outfits in this line-up too! I hope Opal will make a quick recovery 😅

"AG...They could never do this" lmao it's so true. They can barely keep their website functional. Evelyn is definitely the MVP for this. I pulled my own copy of her spreadsheet up and paused your video as I watched so I could compare your collection and mine side by side. Fun video and great shout-out to Evelyn!

<3 Hope your doing well. love your vids.

I did see an article on that but haven’t looked into it yet

Gotta watch the video later when I have time. Kyla, did you see that Mattel just released a blind Barbie doll???

Where is the red scrunch top from again, I have such a similar top in my size lol😊

This was an awesome video!! Loved everything you said and how you normalize adult collecting!! :)

I’m 42 and still collect dolls but I also play with them

My cousins have that condition and my fathers brother had it as well.

I collected dolls for years and none of my close friends have any idea at all and now I feel awkward bringing it up 10 years later because I have a big collection and they’re on display 😅 I did however meet my first doll collector friend at work last month and its so fun having someone to talk about dolls with! My family didn’t understand me or my collection at all for years but just this week my brother said how great it was that I had a hobby that I love and my mum visited me and discussed my collection and which were my favourites etc 😁 I’ve brought a rainbow high doll on trips with me but I was too shy to take her outside my room in the hotel but I definitely want to get back into photography so at some point soon I’ll try to take some baby steps to feel more confident with them in public. Thanks for sharing your experience and thoughts on this topic Kyla! I hope more people are able to freely enjoy their hobbies without fear of judgment 😊

I’m 38 years old and collect AG Dolls, I also take them out and take photos of them, two of them are heading to the US with me in hopefully February

I completely agree with what you're saying. I also have Aspergers or High-Functioning Autism and am a young adult IRL, and I always loved doll collecting. It just makes me happy and helps me deal with life somehow. I even have certain comfort dolls in my collection that feel like my doll daughters or even best friends to me. Doing doll photography and making things for my comfort dolls and taking care of them is very fun for me and really helps me deal with my anxiety, depression, and mental health. I got my first comfort doll in years when I was a teenager in 2013, and I got into and started casually collecting Monster High around 2014 or 2015. Then, after casually collecting dolls for a while, I fell in love with the Storm Twins (they are my personal comfort characters and a big special interest of mine) and Shadow High. I now own a complete Shadow High collection, 5 sets of Storm Twins, and a custom doll car that I made of their Jeep from the RH show. Being allowed to express myself and my love for the Storm Twins has been intensely freeing for me and my self-expression and has helped me find my self-confidence and inspired my art somehow. All of my doll content on any of my social media is things that I feel inspired to make, and most of it is very inspired by my personal comfort dolls and other favorite dolls in my collection. This video is very inspiring, and I hope that you have an amazing day!🖤💜

I love bratz❤

She looks like a Simone to me

She is gorgeous. I can absolutely see why you wanted her. She is perfect for your collection. I love Anastasia for her, but I don't know Game of Thrones at all, so I don't have those names to compare. Congratulations on getting this girl! I'm so glad you splurged. :)

She is Beautiful 💗

She’s a stunning piece of art. Congrats. Good luck with the name. Ania is also pretty. Enjoy❤

Maybe Clara Bow (the ts song) would be cute! ❤

Name Stella Amber or Anne

Cute, she reminds me of Brittany from the old Alvin and the Chipmonks! Very diva like!

So glad to be first!!

I am really just FINALLY catching up on some videos that have been in my Watch Later queue for a while. Better late than never, I guess. I can't remember - do you post a mid-year check in or revisit your wishlist at the end of the year to share which things you got and which you didn't?

Her make-up is immaculately done and I think she fits right in in your collection. Thanks for sharing her with us :)

my jaw dropped that your 64 is also named KUMI OMG

Does Walmart have the ily 4ever 18inch outfits? I can't tell because I can just barely see the fashion dolls their on the highest shelve in the doll aisle
