- In this video, I make my case as to why American Girl should bring back the Best Friends from the Historical Line. I also bring in historical references to come up with ideas for outfits for each best friend!

Yes!! I totally agree! I really like the idea of giving the dolls fall outfits, and expanding the historical best friend collections to represent different backgrounds during different time periods. I would love for AG to come out with more historical outfits. I love that they are rereleasing old outfits but they need new ones as well. I wish they would focus on the dolls farther back in history too though. I feel like all the attention is on Nicki, Isabel, Courtney, and Julie.
1000% agreed to everything! They are definitely focused on the more recent historicals right now. But with how well Addy, Kirsten, and Josefina sold, I'm hoping that will be enough justification to work on the older girlies as well.
If they bring don’t back Ivy’s rainbow romper, I don’t want anything 🤣
But new outifts would be nice for all of them
🤣🤣 yes!!! She looks so cute in it- and we love the rainbow representation!!
Omg yes!!!!! I hope they bring the best friends back !!!!!!!
It would be so fun 🥰
Oh I am seated! I totally agree that more books and outfits are vital. I am guessing that the lack of those two factors are why the best friends didn't sell as well as the main characters, and likely the reason why they were retired when the be forever rebrand was being strategized. I hope we see these changes, it would be so cool!
Oh and I have to say I love the little speech bubbles the dolls get throughout this video, the sass is everything 😂
@@therobotdevil2284 yesss!! We need more lore!! And thank you- I'm glad someone appreciates my humor 🤣
So many great points!! I totally agree!!!!
Thanks!! Hoping AG agrees too 😆
I'd pick outfits for Ivy that's apart of her Chinese American heritage and outfits from the 70's of course that be more fitting for ivy
Yes! Let’s give her variety!!
I have always thought that AG needs to bring the best friend dolls back,like why did they take them away? I personally love all of the best friend dolls and hope to add all of the best friends to my collection...honestly I agree with you on everything you said in your video:) LOL I just really want AG to bring back the best friend dolls and I have always felt this way...
Yesss!! I don't know why they retired them- especially since dolls like Elizabeth, Nellie, and Emily seemed to have sold really well. Maybe it had to do with the beforever rebrand? Who knows!
@@FixMyAGDoll aww!! I agree,don't get me wrong I do love the fact that the Beforever rebrand made the books longer as I really enjoy that I don't have to buy all 6 or 7 books,but at the same time I don't like it becasue I loved the fact and love that the best friends get their own book. I feel like like AG should bring them back,I like the idea of bringing new clothes with the best friends back,I really just love the best friends,I don't get why they would of taken them away becasue they got more money from people buying the historical characters and their best friends with them
@@bluedogag agreed! If only AG would just listen to us heehee 😆
I am with you on bringing back the best friend dolls and more too! Overalls would look so cute on so many dolls. You have a real eye for fashion!
Thank you! It was so fun looking through all of those old catalogues.
Ivy I think should’t be bright back a best friend I think it be really cool if they do like
Ivy 1976 and make ivy her own story series
Yes. That would be so amazing! That's what I was trying to get at when I said they should release at least 2 more books for the best friends. We need more character building for them!
…….YOU'RE HIRED.
(actually please hire her, American Girl)
😂😂😂 thank you!!
I would love this!
I really enjoyed this video. Check out UA-cam's Lady Rebecca Fashions channel. She is a fashion historian/cosplay person and goes through some of the historical dolls and discusses the accuracy of the outfits, very interesting. I would really love to have AG come out with new outfits instead of re releases (not pink).
I love Lady Rebecca Fashions! I have watched all her videos- they're fantastic! 🥰
Also totally agreed- give us new outfits and use less pink 😆
Release Ruthie yellow meet dress be apart of her outfits cause in original books her dress was yellow not purple
Yes! I always thought it was odd they didn’t make the yellow dress- she would look so cute in it in doll form!
I agree that A.G. had to bring back the Best Friends dolls, but there are even others which deserve to put back for sale: first of them are Chrissa and her two B.F. Sonali and the other (I don't remember her name) who played the violin; I really love Sonali: she is a adorable dark skinned girl child and have her is my (currently unachievable) dream.
About Kit, I know her history and agree that even Ruthie deserves to be brought back, oh yes 😊.
I also believe that they had to be put back with their original outfit, which is a essential part of their appeal: other outfits could be sold separately as it already happens with the characters currently for sale.
Those are all beautiful dolls! My guess is that they wouldn’t bring back Chrissa, Gwen, or Sonali since they were part of the Girl of the Year line, so hypothetically they are only available for that year. While more recently, they’ve sold the GOTY dolls for a year or two after their year, I think that’s an overstock issue and not intentional.
