I've also thought of the Anne of Green Gables overlap with doll collectors and my two cents is that the character Anne really helps with creating a sense of childhood wonder and girlhood, it also shows a bit of a historical lens in the world, and things work out very cohesively.

@@happyjollyholly4455 as a Canadian kid, AoGG was forced on us in school, so I didn’t like it. I should really check it out as an adult. I’d probably understand the connection.
I just wanted to say how much I appreciate and love watching your videos! I am relatively new to AG doll collecting, and your videos are always so informative and enjoyable. The Joss mold is my favorite mold, so I am glad you enjoy it as well 😊.
@@mirandasalo5967 awww first of all thank you! Second, I feel like the only info I have is talking about how much I love my dolls to buy time while I struggle to remember their TM numbers 🤣 So it doesn’t matter how new you are: there’s a lot to take in with AG. I’m glad you have good taste in face molds!
I agree our dolls’ looks and characteristics are only limited by our imagination! Wonderful interpretation of your collection! I would so enjoy a storytelling video of some of your favorite backstories of your dolls.
@@carolreardon528 hmmm the backstory video might be a good idea after I finish sharing the last few of them. Even tho sometimes I still feel silly saying them out loud… on camera 🤣
It’s so funny to hear other collectors thoughts on 122. Usually they don’t like her wig as much but she’s my favorite doll for her mold and her wig! Lol. And Joss looks absolutely adorable in her winter outfit
@@annierae7506 it’s weird because I normally love bangs on a doll-and with 122, that’s the part I don’t love. I think it’s the way they hang. But other than that the wig is actually pretty and unique.
Ooh I love Ana in the oh deer outfit! It’s adorable on her. ❤ My favourite of the twins is Isabel. Wouldn’t it be fun to get together and shop at an AG store together? You could dress like Nikki and I will dress like Isabel and we could be twins with our dolls! I am a big fan of Anne of Green Gables. My Grandmother was a distant cousin of the author, Lucy Maude Montgomery. My best friend visited PEI and I asked her to bring me a porcelain doll of Anne when she was there. It is just a souvenir type doll but I still have her. I like to dress my Blair as Anne of Green Gables. 🥰
@@CherishedDollFriends we could totally do that! I definitely have clothes Nikki would wear lol. Now all we need is an AG store! See? Doll collectors love Anne of green gables. Blair is a good doll to dress as her.
Those boots are perfect with the Western outfit! And as an enabler, I put in another order with Maplelea for some boots and slippers. I as not sure about the buckskins but when I saw them on your doll the buckskins hopped into my basket. I could not resist the sale. Thank you!
@@JoanneSag I felt foolish not thinking of these boots in the first place! The cyber dollars got me too: I should have another Maplelea haul to share soon. They told me it would be ready early this week (so it’s late lol) Consider that a heads up for more bad influencing 🫣
I love Maritza, and she is still going for more than I’d like to pay. She is probably my favorite Joss mold doll. Like you, I think Joss is unfortunately my least favorite Joss mold, but she’s very cute. There’s something very special about the Joss mold, I think. 121 was my second doll, and she just called to me. I don’t have 122 yet, but I do like her look. I’m thinking of making her into a 90s girl once I get her.
@@settheworldonfire94 Joss is very cute but I prefer how they experimented with her after. And yes the mold is really special. I’ve never seen the defects I do with other molds and it’s quite versatile. Side by side it’s hard to believe Anna and Maritza are the same face.
You inspired me to buy that pink and purple MapleLea outfit. I also bought the Muskoka Lumberjack outfit and the Storm trooper boots to go on my husband’s mini me, 75. Maritza is my favorite doll. ❤
@@crystalbluepersuasion3897 Maplelea clothes are great aren’t they? Oh I definitely understand Maritza being your fave doll. I may have more of a connection with Nikki, but Maritza is still my fave joss doll
I absolutely love your Moana doll:,) TLC has been a huge part of my life, so I love hearing you talk about them! She definitely looks like an early 90s Chilli
@@cyberclown they were a huge part of my formative years. That’s probably why I have so much nostalgia for them even all these years later. I love hearing they had an impact on you too! I also love that you see the resemblance between Moana and debut era Chili 🥳
Even folks in Japan is obsessed with Anne Green gables. They have a cartoon that is so good. I love Anne Green gables because of the stories and reading the books. My favorite character she made though was definitely Emily of New Moon. My goal is to make an Emily of New Moon doll.
@@kerrysmiles growing up I had no idea the stories were famous outside Canada… and they were forced on us, so it was hard to enjoy them. I should probably give Anne another shot as an adult.
@@cryptidmother when I ranked my TM dolls, I used her wig to help me decide where to place her - and even then I was like, why am I making it sound like I hate this wig?? But then it also made me wonder if I would rank her higher with different hair 🫣 Honestly I don’t hate the wig lol. It’s unique and flowy. I’d probably just like the bangs a teeeeny bit shorter so it didn’t hang in her eyes sometimes
@@wendypcs2102 hmm if this is the Wendy I think it is, you should know RM asked me if I’d ever sell when I dropped off your Tiana outift to her (because she has a custom Jasmine in mind) 🫣 But I’ll be listing Anna and Elsa’s outfits at some point too if that’s any consolation
@@thoward3523 she’s definitely unique with her features, so I hope they continue to explore the possibilities with her. The first 2 were so similar and then 🤯
Well darn, I didn't personally care for Corrinne (still not sure I do) but 125 and Rozonda.... I could end up really liking that mold. Though, I'm actually saying it, I think I'm quite content with my current collection. For me, the twins and Holiday Claudie are the top of the list, followed by my custom Nanea. Hmmm.... now I'm thinking I may need to do a ranking of all of my dolls to see who I love the most, if someone deserves some more love, etc.
@@DarcysNova626 I hope they experiment further with Corinne! It’s hard to believe this is the same mold. Do you have favorites at least? Sometimes that doesn’t even help when it comes to ranking
My mom made me a CYO that was gorgeous but when it arrived she looked exactly like the little girl from Little House on the prairie so my mom stole her back😂 We are going to do some little house on the prairie photography with them... I'm going to use Caroline as Mary because of the eyes.
I know that not liking Joss as much as the later dolls with her face mold is an unpopular opinion, but it is one we share. She does look sweet, young and innocent. My dolls are older, young adults, so that isn’t a look that I like as much. When Maritza came out, I thought she was the prettiest doll AG had made and I didn’t and still don’t understand the hate that she gets (or being called a mean girl). The new Moana is just a gorgeous doll! I’d love to pick her up and replace my Corinne with her. I’ve really struggled with Corinne in my collection as I think she looks younger and so I just don’t use her as much. She should be with someone who will appreciate her more. Great video! I love seeing all the different dolls with the same molds and how different they all look.
@@melangellperry5984 wait… MARITZA GETS HATE???? Let me at ‘em! I really had no idea. My first impression of her wasn’t sassy but I see it now. I just couldn’t put my finger on why she was so much prettier than all the other dolls (keep in mind this was before Claudie came out 🥹) Corinne definitely looks younger than Moana but not like other dolls do, so Moana would definitely be an upgrade for you. Plus she’s one of the most beautiful dolls AG has made!! I hope you get her…
I love your Jasmine doll! She really looks like an old friend of mine named Samira, not sure if you’re actually looking to change her name or not!! 😅 Corrine really does have a big noggin, I had to PULL 92’s wig on mine!! 😂💓 Thank you for sharing these molds, I think Corrine is becoming my favorite!
@@americangirlfilms if she’s an old friend, she can’t be mad if I decide to steal her name 🤣 Aha so your Corinne has a big head too! If they continue to experiment with her mold, she might kick Addy or Joss out of their ranking
Maritza is the one I dropped the ball on. I need to get her in my collection. Her pricing on the secondary market is too high. So I keep buying other dolls and skipping Maritza.
@@Latinart yeah it’s more so her asking price than her selling price. I think you will find her someday… after you’ve already bought dozens of dolls instead ☠️
I think so many girls/women who read Anne of Green Gables (and who have seen the various movie/tv adaptations) fall in love with Anne, which would explain why she is so big in the doll world. I have my eye on a VERY unfortunate-looking Maplelea Jenna Doll on ebay, that I think would obviously make a great Anne (red hair, freckles)- but I would find a bangless wig for her. I watched the epic video on Kirsten by Babbity Kate here on YT, and she mentioned that Kirsten's bangs are likely not period-correct (or appropriate for the character) because maintaining the length of bangs would not be a priority for a girl in her circumstance. I would think this would definitely apply to Anne in her situation, particularly at the beginning of the book, when she was essentially a servant to her adoptive parents in Nova Scotia. She definitely wouldn't have time to maintain her hairstyle with having to care for multiple sets of twins! Really enjoyed the video - beautiful collection!!! They're all wonderful!!!
@@strawberrygirlie76 if you’re going to change her wig anyway, is that the best option? I took a peek, and unless they’ll accept a really low offer… she looks like a lot of work! Do the bright green eyes suit the character too? I ALMOST bought the Maplelea AoGG outfit a couple weeks back, but I hesitated thinking someone else would appreciate it more. I don’t think I’ll hesitate if it pops up again. I like it as an outfit but others also love the character so I was conflicted lol.
@DisBlaine Haha. Yay! You found her!! Yes, hours of work, and lots of zit cream required, but she needs to be saved!!!! 😂 She's definitely not worth essentially the same price as a brand new doll, though!!! What is the seller thinking!!! I might offer like $5.00 - $10.00 max!! I have other dolly priorities ATM, so poor, unfortunate Jenna/Anne will have to wait for now!!
That dark pink dress looks so beautiful on her ❤I love how you get clothes that really looks good on your dolls ❤
