Well, you are a bit, but I can see it. My first AG original mold was Courtney, and that particular one was worse than yours. I got a second one that was a bit better, but it's good to hear from you that the Courtney mold is prone to this. It does make me feel a bit better when there is a widespread flaw if I know that I didn't just get a rare bad one.
Congratulations Kris! 🎈You got a gorgeous Barbie doll. I understand pickiness about the way the dolls are made. My Nellie has the usual problem with one eye not exactly like the other. And though in her case it's really subtle, it still bothers me. In the case of your Barbie's teeth, I guess it must be ever so subtle that I did not notice it at all looking her on the video. I agree, she is a very valuable collectible and though it would have been tempting for me to remove her from her box (if I had gotten one), this is one doll that is more meant to remain on display in her box.
Thats cool but AG Barbie just reminds me how much American Girl has changed from its original past and goals for the brand. It was supposed to be the OPPISITE of Barbie, and even though she's pretty, it just makes me a little bit sad. (Pls no one take offense to this)
Thanks for sharing your new doll- I think she looks great! I would be surprised by more Barbie-AG collabs because it seems like the moment has passed, but it would be v fun. I would love to see the reverse- Barbie interpretations of AG. Maybe like what would Samantha/Kit/Molly look like 2 decades later when they're nearly 30 years old, so that the typical Barbie sculpt/body size would make sense!
i received mine! unfortunately, the stand immediately chipped upon assembly. I am just thankful the doll is okay. do we know what is going on with this kirsten rerelease?
Hi Kris, I love your new Big Barbie! She is so cute. I missed out, but she was out of my budget at the time anyway. I enjoy seeing the unboxings though. 😄 This is just a personal opinion but I hear many collectors complain about uneven features on the dolls and while I agree that quality control is important, I think the dolls are intentionally made to be asymmetrical to mimic more human features. I Don’t think anyone can look in the mirror and see perfect symmetry from the left side of their face to the right. We usually have one bigger eye or a crooked smile, one eyebrow higher etc. This may be an unpopular opinion but I don’t mind if my dolls have small things like that. Of course under painted lip lines and wonky eyes are more of a quality control issue but teeth not being centred under the cupids bow could be quite easily found with many of us. ( I work in a Dental office ) I just wanted to point that out to people who may be disappointed that their doll isn’t “perfect”. I also find the head tilt charming. I hope you love her! It was so sweet of your parents to purchase her for you. Thanks for sharing and I totally understand why you don’t want to unbox her! ❤
Great video! This doll tempted me as I used to collect Barbie. I understand the swimsuit choice but wish she came with more. In the end I passed. I agree word for word with what u said about the face mold choice. Her teeth are a little off but her lips are perfect. I hate when one side of the upper lip is higher/fatter than the other. Overall, and compared to others I’ve seen, I think you got a really good one! She’s a keeper for sure. And, stick to your guns about keeping her in box. She is YOUR doll. And, unboxing doesn’t seem to be as big of a deal with AG but it’s a huge no no with collectible Barbies! Congrats to you on your new girl!
If they come out with Barbie clothes - especially based on original Barbie designs - mine is coming out of the box, for sure. I am really hoping that happens. I'd love to have Barbie-Q or any of the other iconic original releases for this girl. Until then, she may have to live in the box.
Ya my opinion is that if they leave things as they are( no more AG Barbie’s) , the value is just gonna skyrocket. It’s so crazy how everyone wanted her. She was out of my price range so I didn’t get her. It’s ok. For over $300 American she would have to be the most amazing doll on the planet!!
She looks better than I thought, but even if they would have shipped to Canada, I'm not sure I would have paid the price. I'm happy to hear there are outfits coming because I am not particularly hung up that they have to go on a #1 Barbie version.
i’m So Glad i Got Her Too💓 Can You Do A Video Comparison With Barbie & Maryellen As in They Both The Same Face Mold🫶🏼 & i Wouldn’t Mind Dressing Her Up in Maryellen’s Outfits Till American Girl Decides To Come Out With Barbie’s Own Clothing Line🌸
I thought you said last time you were going open your collector dolls Tbh I hate in box AG collecting it just makes no sense with their boxes that can already open
I think that the teeth themselves are not centered in the middle of both lips,that is prolly what you are seeing. It is not by much but it feels slightly off. Also you CAN remove her earrings.
If the clothes come out, I'm going to buy a doll that looks closest to AG Barbie to dress up. My AG Barbie is not coming out of the box. Started looking for a very blond male doll. The boys have darker blond hair, if blond at all. There are people out there already designing AG Barbie clothes for sale. I was too old to play with Barbies, but now own some Bob Mackie Barbies and sets of Barbie with Elvis, Frank Sinatra, 007, and X Files. I am more into the AG dolls. I started out with Rebecca and said that was the only one I wanted. I lied. Many dolls and Kaya's horse now crowd my glass cases.
I enjoy your videos! Your Barbie has a tilted head strapped to the head strap. I wonder if that is influencing how you see the lip dip with the center of the teeth. This doll is already on the second hand market for 2-3 times the $300 price! Some people apparently saw the opportunity and were willing to wait for it.
I love my Barbie. I agree with Kris that her mouth/teeth/lips seem out of alignment. I am not taking her out of the box. But I am concerned about one thing. Will the plastic she is fastened to the box with cause discoloration or marks on her later? I never even thought of buying a second Barbie because in my mind I guess I thought there would be a limit on the doll. Now I know better. I left my Anna in her box, also. Two gorgeous AG dolls arriving so close together. Amazing.
You are correct. Her teeth are off-center. I checked all the dolls here and their teeth are perfect except for TM 122. I currently have no classic dolls.
I think one tooth is longer than the other, and her hair curls in the front are not defined. They look messy. This is still a beautiful doll, and I am glad you have her. I do hope to see some clothing.
She's okay, but I don't think looking at her she's worth the $300 price tag. But I'm happy that those that got her are happy with her. She's just not for me.
I am for sure a drama queen about her lips. 😅😂

Her earrings can be removed. They’re not like Addy’s earrings.
You know what? At the price point....I am now officially mad that every limited edition Swarovski doll doesn't come with a doll stand.
Yep, you're so right, I'm also feeling that way. We paid $310 for Anna and Elsa; we should not have had to pay another $20 for the doll stand.
TRUTH
@@zoej.7008Though that poor Barbie is almost naked, lol. Maybe they included it as an extra because her outfit was so small.

Her lips look fine to me 😂 .. Glad you're leaving her in box, the box is so cute

ooooh i would LOVE this idea!! i would love a grown-up sam🥹
Yes !! they could call it the American lady collection !!
Omg I'm so excited about the Barbie outfits
Definitely worth the wait. She will be extremely collectible no doubt.
i received mine! unfortunately, the stand immediately chipped upon assembly. I am just thankful the doll is okay. do we know what is going on with this kirsten rerelease?
The lips looks aligned to me 🫣🤣 she’s gorgeous!
Hi yes you can take out her earrings ❤❤❤
Congratulations Kris! She was worth the wait. I hope you’ll enjoy her!
I do love Barbie, I hope they decide to make different ones or a play-line one. 🙏🙏
Maryellen makes a great midge to Barbie
I got her during the Berry pre-sale! I can’t wait to see her outfits 🎀

I love your necklace, Chris! ✨💖
OMG! I wanted one sooo much! LUCKY!

Someone already has hers listed in the Facebook resale group for $700.
She’s really cute ❤❤
Her lips look fine
Do you know if they are going to come out with a playline belle doll before the end of the year?
she is so pretty !
Ya my opinion is that if they leave things as they are( no more AG Barbie’s) , the value is just gonna skyrocket. It’s so crazy how everyone wanted her. She was out of my price range so I didn’t get her. It’s ok. For over $300 American she would have to be the most amazing doll on the planet!!

hi kris so glad you got here
I am so happy you got here i have my too ❤❤❤
I thought you said last time you were going open your collector dolls
Tbh I hate in box AG collecting it just makes no sense with their boxes that can already open
She is beautiful! Should I be worried that mine hasn’t shipped yet? I feel like so many people have gotten theirs 😢
i would message ag because they are shipping without notifying
They sold so many of them to Barbie collectors. Some of them have deep pockets.
So jealous I didn’t get her!
They are both owned by Mattel 😉
I need a dress 👗 for barbie ❤❤❤
I think that the teeth themselves are not centered in the middle of both lips,that is prolly what you are seeing. It is not by much but it feels slightly off.
Also you CAN remove her earrings.
Mine had her shoe off too! I was able to get her, only because of pure luck! She sold out SOOOO quick.
She's absolutely beautiful and you're so lucky to have her! And sorry, but her lips look fine to me, lol. 👄

You are correct. Her teeth are off-center. I checked all the dolls here and their teeth are perfect except for TM 122. I currently have no classic dolls.
Someone said an insider told them a Totally Hair Barbie is coming…
Can you sniff that one out for us because that’s a Barbie we all need. 🙏🏻
Well yeah that I totally understand not opening her and taking her out of box
I think one tooth is longer than the other, and her hair curls in the front are not defined. They look messy. This is still a beautiful doll, and I am glad you have her. I do hope to see some clothing.
Relax about her teeth and just enjoy her
She's okay, but I don't think looking at her she's worth the $300 price tag. But I'm happy that those that got her are happy with her. She's just not for me.
You should take her out she looks better in actual clothes. Less Toddlers and Tairas. Mary Ellen's clothes are an excellent choice.
I need a dress 👗 for barbie ❤❤❤
