I’m almost 76, and I have 3 dolls. Not many people understand, but being a widow in a pandemic is pretty lonely. My girls, Molly, Kit, and Julie ease the pain of loneliness a bit.
Thank you so much for sharing something vulnerable. You know...others don't have to understand it. You're finding something that helps you with the loneliness and hurts no one else, so I think it's lovely you've found your dolls. For what it's worth though, I think it's great you're interacting with the doll community, where people WILL understand.
As a viewer, I like a mix of videos I need to *watch* and some I can just listen to. But I would LOVE it if the idea of a "road trip" playlist would catch on with other agtube channels so that we could all easily find the videos we can just listen to.
My daughter and I have been collecting AG for 9 years. We love your channel and videos so much! We are excited to send you pics of our dollhouse and collection. Have a wonderful holiday season! 😁
Yay! Now that the deadline has passed, I'm starting to look at all the pictures. I'll probably have to reach out to some ppl to get more information or see if they have clearer pics, but if you don't get an email from me, all is well!
Your channel was definitely my inspiration and motivation to create my own! You make it look so easy, but to me, it's quite challenging. All the more reason to enjoy and continue to be inspired by your content. So glad to hear of your plans and that you're not going to be leaving this community - we love you!!!! 🙂
Oh, thank you SO MUCH! I'm really glad you decided to make a channel and I think it's great seeing ppl (and their channels) grow and ppl become more comfortable in their abilities (to edit, speak on camera, etc). :-)
Thanks for adding the playlists; I always think they're so helpful when exploring a channel. I'm looking forward to your video reacting to the collections of others.
I love the Playlist section and appreciate those channels that have that option. 😊 I don't have any input as to which dolls are under or over-hyped or pay attention to the comments. I only get dolls that I like and rarely buy or collect new dolls. Thanks for your video, and have a wonderful Christmas holiday. 🎅🎄🎁💝
Thanks - I'm glad you find playlists helpful. We had a fantastic Christmas. Our little one is a little under the weather, but it's hitting her hardest at night, so she was fortunately feeling fine for the day's merriment. I hope your Christmas was lovely.
I like the playlist for AGtubers. I need to do some work on creating playlist because I am definitely deficient in this area. And I personally like playlist, because sometimes on puttering around my doll room or on the house, and I like to have videos with talking screaming in the background so I don’t have to actually watch it, and if something catches my attention on tune my eyeballs in. This brings up another thing that I ponder because I do this sometimes I create videos with just music in the background especially when I’m doing house chores or some thing that is a little overwhelming with details and I can’t possibly talk through them. I guess they’re OK with just the music but I’m still trying to find my way through this. as always thank you so much for such great videos! Happy holidays to you and your family🥰
Merry Christmas Kristie and Grace! I love the necklaces you made. The Celtic knot one was my favourite. I am in Canada so I won’t be available for a meet up as wonderful as that sounds!🙏😊 take care and enjoy the holidays💕
Merry Christmas! We had a wonderful day. Our little one is a bit under the weather, but it's hitting her hardest at night, so she was a happy camper all day. I hope your holiday was great!
I just emailed you the most recent pic of all my dolls. :) Fun! I enjoyed this update. Thanks for sharing! Claudie definitely does not get the love she deserves from AG. I hope you hit 2000 soon! :)
I also am one that you have given me the courage! I’m 41 about to be 42 and because of your lovely comment, I was able to discuss my doll collecting with my mom. And to give her a list of “toys” I wanted. ☺️ You are one of the most inspiring agtuber and I look forward to all your videos. I wish I could travel to your meetups, but I live in California and am a teacher. 🤷🏻♀️ Maybe if you ever visit the California store.
I am SO glad that my videos have had a positive impact like that. I really appreciate you sharing (and I hope you get some doll gifts from your mom ;-)
I’m excited to see what’s to come for your channel. I think playlists are a good idea. I think I have enough videos now to make some. I’ll do that. Thanks for the tip 😉
I finally thought of my answer for a doll who’s overrated in the community- 110. Which is a bit of a surprise because when she came out I saw a lot of criticism of her because people felt like it was AG whitewashing the Jess mold, but now it feels like everyone has her! And while I’m on the subject of the new TM line, 117 is my underrated queen. She was the first one I wanted, but out of the three MG molds in the line I definitely see her least.
Just procrastinating while I still need to clean the bathroom, vacuum and create the snack platter. I know I'll have fun but I'd much rather watch videos. /i hope you got to take advantage of the AG end of the year sale. I got a few outfits but missed out on the Wellie jammies and the Xmas sweater. Oh well, such is life. Looking forward to a peaceful (we hope) new year and making progress on my doll room. Tempted to send a photo just to make everyone else feel super organized because it is a disaster.
We did take advantage of the end-of-year sale, even though I feel like everything I bought over the past two months just went on sale (sigh). We were disciplined - used $55 in rewards and after taxes AND shipping, we only paid $8.50. So not a huge haul, but not breaking the bank either. Also, I would LOVE for you to send a photo just to make others feel super organized lmao.
I will most likely be there on the 14th. It’s my husband’s weekend off and he said he would take me. Excited but sad. I will really miss the Columbus store. I spend more at the doll Salon than my own hair.
Oh, I'm glad you'll be able to make it! We were just at the store today and someone there who watches my channel said they were waiting to get their dolls' ears pierced. My wife and I mentioned having taken our dolls to the salon for the first time ever recently and the person said the salon is booked solid for weeks. Looks like they'll be kept busy up until the very last minute. If you think you might want a salon service on the 14th, I'd check right away and book any spot they have.
Thanks. My daughter just looked over my notes and we're planning to film it tomorrow (but I have a lot of videos lined up first so it might be a bit before I post it).
I’m just starting to creat my AG collection and doll space. So wish I could be a part of your pic collections to share. 2024 is the year I will creat a doll space for AG. Being part of the LGBQ community it’s great to see representation on UA-cam with AG.
Well, if it's a video idea folks enjoy I'm happy to make it an annual thing so you can definitely participate next year. I have a feeling you'll be intentional and build a lovely collection.
I am excited for your what to say to haters video. I want to branch out and feel more comfortable taking my dolls out in public so knowing how you handle the negative comments is something I look forward to hearing. Happy holidays. 🩷🎅🏽🎄
I'm so glad you're looking forward to this. I'm planning to post it this Sunday and I have to say I'm proud of it and hope a lot of people will find it helpful. Happy holidays to you as well!
Sorry that your AG store is closing 😢. I haven’t received any notifications so I looked today and saw I wasn’t subscribed, maybe a glitch. I hit the subscribed button again today. I feel like Claudie doesn’t have as many things as some of the other dolls. Hope you had a nice Christmas!
Sorry you weren't getting notifications but glad you subbed again :-) I agree Claudie doesn't have as many things, but she's one of the more recent historicals and she has at least gotten a second wave with her Christmas and travel items. I hope there is much, much more in store for her! I hope you had a wonderful Christmas as well and that you have a fantastic new year!
Hey Kristie! I plan on being there January 14th w Miranda (or an SSP)! I’m so looking forward to it and hopefully we’ll get some time to chat at some point. I also love the idea of having the Playlist! I always enjoy checking out UA-camrs who have Playlists because it makes it easier for me to navigate their channel! I don’t know how I missed the community post about the collection but I’ll try to get some pics to you by the 30th! As far as underrated dolls go, (& I guess I can’t too much blame AG or the doll collecting community because it’s a tough topic) but any of the ‘survivor’ (cancer/bald) dolls. I’ve noticed that there aren’t many *quality* unboxing/reviews videos on YT featuring any of them! That’s one of my next dolls that I want to get! (Maybe I’ll try to get her in January IF the sale is still happening then).
im going to the ag store in nashville soon! i wish i could visit the columbus store before it closes, but unfortunately thats too long of a trek for me :(
Well, it won't surprise me at all if the Nashville store closes next (or if Orlando goes and then Nashville). We want to make it to the Nashville store sometime soon just in case. 2024 goal, I think.
The necklaces look fantastic and I so wish I could be at the meetup. As for underrated dolls, I think I decided why I think Kaya and Nanea are. I just don't think I see enough love for them as they deserve. I personally find playlists especially helpful when I first find a UA-camr. Your whole channel is very well organized and easy to navigate. Congratulations on the channel growth, you deserve every bit of success! It's fitting you were wearing blue because you're the blueprint! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! 🎄 🎁 ☃️
Oh the not enough love question is so easy. None of the historicals are given enough love. They are easily archived. They don’t bring back the items that often. The historicals that have come out recently - are okay but the collections aren’t detailed they’ll way they have been when they’re was the 6 story format. I was actually talking with a local doll friend about how since they do a girl of the year it would be cool if they could release a historical girls collection each year…so like 2024 could be all about Kirsten and then 2025 could be all about Samantha or whatever. I’m partial to Kirsten myself since I am still missing a couple pieces from her complete collection. Those honeypots are elusive. Overrated? Every single “collector” AG doll I have ever seen. The nutcracker. The Disney dolls…that new Barbie doll…the holiday doll this year was pretty but I feel like their price tags make them over rated.
I would love it if every year they would rerelease historical dolls, outfits and items because some of us missed out and scouring eBay doesn’t work for some of us. Plus we would also still be supporting AG store
Merry Christmas to your family!! My hubby and I are planning to come unless something happens with the weather really. I was able to trade the shift! I'm going to email you my group shot :)
They have a TOOOOONNNN of Nicki dolls. Probably more of her than of any other doll in the store lol. Also, two employees confirmed they're getting a truck in this Thursday.
In one of your past restorations you mentioned maybe being open to fixing up some other collectors dolls. Is that still open or did you get flooded with requests?
I do have a private email - it's listed in the description of every video. agtakesover@gmail.com Though I'm not sure what paperwork you're referring to or how I could be of any help. We've purchased new WW dolls and never gotten any paperwork.
