American Girl reveals 2 new historical characters l GMA 

Yeah I was wondering that myself what the hell happened to the Addy Walker doll? My sister was given that doll for Christmas when they first barely came out. Did they discontinue her and the other historical dolls? So confused 😐

Molly has been Re-released and rumors are that Kit or maybe Kirsten will be coming back soon. Kaya is still fully available. I believe the rest (including kit excluding Kirsten) are available but just the doll and none of the rest of the collection. But they deserve the spotlight!

Samantha was an original one. I chose the Molly doll but almost got Samantha.

They said Kit, but the rest? I grew up on them! I saw Molly last year at the Chicago location. Josefina was my fave. So sad they're gone

Me too!! Samantha was so kind but Molly could dance so...

frrr historical dolls used to mean something, just because you have a doll that represents a decade its kind of meaningless without an authentic story

Yes good idea for some twins

Most of them are very old. That Samantha outfit was sold decades ago, next to Samantha in original outfit. It was funny that they new that the new Samantha dress doesn't match her era at all so they used the old one😂🤦‍♀️.

Yeah Isabel is fine since it’s spelled different but with Nicki I think she could’ve been a Nicole since the 07 Girl of the year’s name is Nicki but at least their last names are similar

@@gwenmloveskpopandmore They're twins.

@@jmac356 yeah I know that

No, you're not. That was the idea. They were inspired partially by them AFAIK.

@@freyja6360 What does AFAIK mean?

​@@hannahwalmer1124 "as far as I know"

I honestly thought they were going to be named Mary-Kate and Ashley

@@VicandWesthat would literally be so cool i wish they did that fr

Yassss

I think they were only showing the ones from the 20th century because they now have historical dolls for every decade in the 20th century

@@mueytortilla2969 oh.... oh my God. I just now realized that. 😳 That means... the 2000s are next.

But Molly is from the 20th century as well.

Ouch... Are they considering cubing Kaya and Josefina? They haven't got anything new for their collections for the longest time. Molly, Addy & Felicity are only available without their collections and the rest is in the mythical "archives".

@@freyja6360 Josefina is already cubed, however Kaya's collection is still fully available on the website and in stores. I don't know why they didn't show Kaya. I understand why they didn't show the retired ones like Marie - Grace, Cecile Rey, Caroline, Felicity, and Kirsten though, but they have Molly, Josephina, and Addy still available.

How did she get to go

Wow! She'll remember this for the rest of her life 😃

Please tell her she represented Isabel amazingly! 🎉 (I’m one of the authors.)

@@jenniferroy6288 It's you! Thank you for your work ❤You wrote Nicki's journal 😃

Congratulations to her! I hope you hold this moment in your hearts forever.

I know what you're trying to say and I like them too but they are a company and we are their customers, not their "friends". You're falling for the marketing.

Yeah I mean at least Isabel wasn’t spelled like Isabelle but they could’ve gone with Nicole/Nikki

I love Isabel. Its a family name for me so im on isabels side 🥰

The doll of the year this year wasn't blonde.

Isn't that how names work?

I totally agree

Ivy was Chinese and Julie’s best friend although she’s retired and Josefina from 1824 is Mexican. Girl of the year 2022 Corinne is Chinese too.

Corinne’s Chinese

@@thereal_sunset yeah

​@@gwenmloveskpopandmoreThis doesn't mean that they should stop at that, I agree with the OP that they need more. AG still has a long way to go, especially since dolls of color usually get less promotion from them and it's time for them to address that and stop hiding from the questions about it. They did Claudie dirty. Plus the fact that every Asian doll is absolutely whitewashed is something really annoying. They always get only the palest skin/vinyl tone they can produce at the time and we all know that's not how most Asian people look. Some do but the kids I know had to order their CYOs for double the price because they wanted to have dolls that look more realistic and similar to them.

I would even go as far as to say that the dolls could've been biracial of some kind. This would have been the PERFECT moment to do so.

Hispanics can be of any race, including white, blue-eyed and blond. So I'll emphasize they need more dolls of color whether Hispanic or otherwise. They still only have two dolls that are black. Only 1 that's Asian and only one that's Hawaiian, and only one that's Native American. The last thing they needed was another set of blond haired, blue eyed white dolls to be honest. Nothing against them but the imbalance is crazy. They got over a dozen of them compared to the one or two they have of any other race. Hell, most of the 1900s dolls they just showed in this video from the different decades were also blond haired and blue eyed white dolls. They didn't need more. As much as African Americans make up and created so much of America's history, culture, music, cuisine, language, etc. they sure don't make a lot of African American dolls. And they still only made one Native American doll and that's for the 1600s as if Native American girls didn't exist in any other century or decade. Could have let the 1970s be a Native American girl. Native American youth had a lot of activists and movements in the 1970s to protect their land and reconnect with their heritage. But what did they give us? Another white, blond-eyed, blue eyed doll. *sigh*

They're Jewish.

My sister played kit her name is charlotte. 😐

I feel you! I was born in 2002, so 1999 is only 3 years before I was born 😳

@@megwaters252 yup 😵

Yeah Pearl Harbor and WW2 happened the same decade but it’s kinda fair since Nanea is one of their non white/Caucasian dolls

Molly is only available in the stores without her collection and since they've included a doll for every decade - there's Nanea already.

Naw my sister played kit. Her name is charlotte

We all are sweetheart, we all are.

My sister played kit. Her name is charlotte

1999 was 24 years ago. That means whoever was born in 1999 has one more year and they'll be old enough to rent a car from Enterprise Rent-A-Car and have a quarter life crisis. I'm so sorry. I sympathize with you. I was 12 going on 13 when the twins' story takes place. I'm 36 going on 37 come November.

Claudie is black! Melody is black! The 1941 one is polynesian! Kavi is Indian... I could go on for AGES.

Majority of America is white cry about it

They forgot Addy 😭

She went incognito
