amazing historical collection!! the historical line will always hold a special place in my heart 💜 the strawberry shortcake pajamas are too cute!! my favorite josefina look is her riding outfit ☺️ love everything about this video!
@@dolltimewithkayla I’ve gotten some great Josefina suggestions - and she’s got some great outfits. I really need to find her heirloom accessories. If you don’t have the onesie yet, you neeeeeeed it! 😁
Aww Cecile’s outfit does look adorable. I love a pretty bonnet. Wow, nice set change. I love how you made a platform for the dolls to stand behind you. You have to cuddle Courtney! She is very cuddly and her hair does not mess that easily. Her curls spring right back. I love how you styled Niki’s hair. 😊
@@CherishedDollFriends welllll there is a doll I used to cuddle with and now one of her arms is shiny 🤣 It made me fear all those warnings about handling AG are true.
Aww I’m sure a little rub with a magic eraser will take the shine away. I like to have one or two dolls that are less “precious” that I can play with, cuddle and fiddle with their hair. I leave my favourites to display and look beautiful. I think it’s sweet how careful you are with your dolls. That’s why they all look so amazing!
@@annettefedd488 I’m glad you liked it Annette! The next one will be in a couple days. I accidentally scheduled this one first, so they’re out of sequence … but they’re just doll videos 🤣
@@nildajurado8423 oh yay at least her dog walking outfit isn’t as $$$ as some of her others! At least I hope it hasn’t shot up over the past few months.
Really enjoying your videos and how dedicated you are to arranging your collection videos down to the last detail. I've been watching AGtube so many years I can't help to be old school with my vlogs and reviews. Love all the new AG collectors who are adults who love sharing their stories of growing up with PC now AG.😊
@@persnicketypleasantpenelop7505 awww thanks Penelope! I’ve watched your videos over the years, so I know you! I never thought about the newer “style” of AGTube. I just go with what requires little to no editing 😝
@@DisBlaine Your videos are polished and I like your natural editing style. It's very subtle, but there. Nowadays the RUclips style of videos are edited with music, sound effects, lighting stations, some even pay editors. I'm NOT there yet. Maybe not EVER. Give me a camera and just say GO! Or real old school, or LIGHTS, CAMERA, ROLL 'EM!
Wow! You sure have a beautiful collection! I love Kirsten's jacket too! It's my favorite too! She looks so cute with the hood and scarf on!🥰thanks for sharing! I think Courtney looks snuggly in that outfit too!🤗 Alot of your favorites are mine too! Take care!❤️
@@robinkrueger5977 you must love cuddly looking dolls because Kirsten in the coat is the snuggliest! I can’t wait for winter so I can put her back in it. I’m glad you have good taste with your favorites 😁
My favorites list would go something like this. A lot of mine are the rare/retired/chaser outfits, I must admit. Some of which I was lucky to get new and others I’ll probably never have. Kaya - jingle dress of today Felicity - town fair dress Elizabeth - riding habit Caroline - meet dress Josefina - weaving outfit Marie-Grace - summer dress Cécile - special/Christmas dress Kirsten - on the trail dress Addy - Christmas dress Samantha - play dress Nellie - Christmas dress Rebecca - school outfit Claudie - meet dress Kit - hobo overalls Ruthie - meet dress Nanea - striped swimsuit Molly - victory garden dress Emily - meet dress Maryellen - roller skating dress Melody - school dress Julie - white birthday dress Ivy - Lunar New Year dress Courtney - pink and black polka dot shirt and skirt with black blazer and pink hat accessory set Nicki - meet dress Isabel - meet dress
@@starryeyeschick oooooh some of those are a close second! I’m glad Maryellen has that sock hop outift, because I will never pay the after market price for her roller skating outift. But you never know lol.
When viewing your video, I realized it has really been a long time since I've seen all the Historicals displayed together and separately talked about. I really had fun! Because of their collections, they just make me swoon!❤ The outfits really are incredible when you think about it! And, of course, our dolls probably dress better than most of us do!😁 Boy, you have really been working hard to get videos out! I greatly appreciate your dedication! Thank you, Blaine!😊
@@paulettepalmer4860 lol you know what? I was so transfixed on the outift aspect of the video, I didn’t even consider I was showing the entire historical lineup together doll wise 🤣 Maybe one day I’ll rank them by meet outfits and focus more on the doll aspect. And the way I justify dressing my dolls better than myself is I can always resell their clothes and only donate mine 🤪 My 50th video is coming up, so I’ve been timing the last 10-15 to make sure it falls on a certain day. I can probably calm down after that. But will I?
When you mentioned Samantha's "sailor outfit" ot was called a Middy dress and came with the hat and whistle. It didn't come with shoes, so it is actually complete. 😊 Back then, they sold the shoes/ boots as extras as well as sock sets.
@@lisbetsoda4874 tbh I prefer it without the accessories (the butterfly net and all that) so I’m glad someone sold me a pair of Cecile’s boots. The boots came on their own? Not sure why I assumed they came with the net
Kit’s gardening outfit is my favorite for her, but it’s quite expensive. I’m slowly turning into a Kit collector because she was basically my holy grail as a kid. I always wanted an American girl doll, but Kit specifically. I love Caroline’s nightgown. Anything blue really looks nice on her, and it feels a little more accurate than the rest of her collection.
@ it goes for around $75, so not as pricey as some of Kit’s stuff can get, but that’s more than I’d spend on an outfit for myself. I’m on a teacher’s salary! 😬
That was fun. Yes it must have been hard to choose in some cases. Most of the stuff I don't have including the dolls but I am almost complete with Felicity my favorite is her lace jacket and petticoat (cranberry color). Kirsten, her black and white winter outfit.
@@buffmontana4203 oh yes that’s definitely top tier of Kirsten’s outfits, along with her St Lucia one. I really do prefer winter themed outfits I guess! Felicity has too many great outfits as well. I used to confuse her cranberry petticoat outfit with her original meet-they’re both so iconically her.
Kaya-I love this outfit of hers, but I think this is a modern powwow dress. I may totally be wrong, though. Felicity 6:25 those are called stomachers. You were very close. Those are the correct shoes. Caroline-my favorite outfit of hers is her birthday dress, the blue one. The color is accurate, but she’d have long sleeves or a Spencer on to cover her arms. Josefina-I really love her birthday outfit. I think if you can find her heirloom accessories, it comes with a necklace that has a black band that covers up her neck joint. You might like her orange dress with the leather vest better. Cecile-her summer outfit is the one outfit of hers that I don’t like. I was excited when I first saw it because I wanted the bonnet, but I just didn’t like the execution of color. I love Cecile’s holiday dress, the red one. Kirsten- I don’t have her. I do love her black and white sweater set. Addy-BeForever- 100% yes! Her school outfit is the best! Addy-original-I love so many Addy outfits. I think her holiday dress is my favorite. Samantha- I don’t have and don’t really know her outfits. I did need to chime in and say that the parasol was originally released with Cecile and MG. Rebecca-yes!! Her Hanukkah outfit is just so beautiful! The netting is so feminine.
@@melangellperry5984 yep it’s a pow wow dress. It didn’t say modern on the box, but does pow wow mean it’s not part of the historical line? I should look that up! Stomacher > Chester 🤣🤣 My brain panicked when I decided to talk about something I didn’t expect. Do you have Caroline’s bday dress? I like the color, but in pics it looks like cheap fabrics, so I passed. Someone locally has it for sale tho… The heirloom accessories are on my wish list: to get rereleased 🤣 I don’t want to pay those aftermarket prices! After looking into more of her outfits I definitely love this one best. But it’s 67% nicer with the shawl lol. Oh yes Cecile’s holiday dress is nice too-and I’m sure the materials are better! I still can’t believe what this one is made of. Samantha will never give back that parasol 🤣
Caroline’s birthday dress is a thinner cotton. It’s very nice. Of course, the details are printed on, not embroidered. It’s just a beautiful color on her and I use her blue shoes all the time.
@@melangellperry5984 oh yes lady Rebecca talked about that in her video. Do you have her party gown? That’s the one I’m sorrrrt of interested in but Rebecca didn’t review it.
I agree with almost all your choices for your doll. The only one I don't care so much for, is Samantha's Beforever dress and those purple boots. The whole outfit seems like a doll outfit rather than a period outfit. Otherwise i am behind all your choices. ❤
@@lisbetsoda4874 haha can you believe that’s what I love about Samantha’s frilly frock? She just looks like a child’s doll and not a historical character to me.
Braiding doll hair is special. I love doing it, but since their heads turn easily, I struggle with their fancier styles if I'm trying to go in a direction other than straight down the head.
@@DarcysNova626 oh I definitely love braiding. When I collected rainbow high, I used to microbraid them - I’m talking each braid was made of 3 hair plugs. At least I knew how to evenly separate each one. I have no idea what this braid convo has to do with this video 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Nice choices! Josefina’s original birthday outfit had an accessory set “heirloom accessories” with a black cord necklace that is tighter on her neck and has a tear drop gem on it. My Josefina is usually in her school outfit (blue skirt). I love her green harvest outfit for the fall. Her fiesta dress is an expensive second hand purchase. It is more European in style and meets your preference for high necklines.
@@TrobertABQ heirloom accessories, those are the ones! So that means the necklace on the book cover is a different one? Oops 🤣 I love the fan that comes with the set. I’ll try to find it one day. The high neckline is nice on the fiesta dress… but that’s all I really like about it 🥴 Truthfully everything looks better in person, so it’s probably gorgeous in really life. Her harvest outfit is definitely beautiful even in pics.
@@DisBlaine The yellow shawl also is a part of the heirloom accessories. You (or other interested people) may be able to buy the necklace second hand without the shawl and the fan. I don’t know why AG didn’t include the necklace in the re-release of her birthday dress except that it originally was in a separate set.
@@TrobertABQ as much as I’d love that set, I can only hope for a rerelease of it-I don’t want to spend the aftermarket price for a shawl, fan and choker 😬
You should put Nicki’s doc martens from the red vinyl jumper on Kit when she’s wearing the overalls. Kit’s boots are literally those boots in dark brown. Even had the same Girl of Today logo/tread on the bottom!
Once again, this was the latest, best video I liked. Now, I am rethinking to have my collection only historical line. From Kaya to Nikki & Isabella, showing them in a timeline as you display. Lol, I guess I have some remodeling / organizing to do. 🤷🏾♀️😊
@@ms.shaneis955 oh nooo lol reorganizing is so much work! Think about it first. I’ve been moving dolls around because of my videos, and my room is a mess! I wouldn’t wish this on anyone lol. But I’m glad you liked seeing them displayed in chronological order. 🥰
Do you purchase Target's "Our Generation" 18inch doll clothes and Walmart's "My Life As" doll clothes? I hear they're made pretty good and quite inexpensive. The accessories and play sets as well.
@@kevincook8888 I’ve never seen my life as in person but I haven’t fallen in love with any OG clothes yet. I have enough between AG and Maplelea at this point, I don’t want to open any other floodgates 🤣
@DisBlaine Oooohh ...I heard that! In fact after I mentioned to you about my limited 18 inchers, I made the mistake of googling them to see other Magic Attic dolls. I'm kinda keeping an eye out for a good condition "Heather". Instead I found a mint-in-box "Rose". Mind you, I already have two, and now I got three. 🙄 Not to give you any ideas but are you familiar with Via E dolls? I think they're really pretty. Though they are pricey, I want to get "Melina", because of the longer hair. Maybe one of the other dolls as well. But as you say ... floodgates. Although I collect all kinds of dolls, the 18 inchers aren't even my favorites.
I think think of Kya's outfit as a celebration outfit for today. Additionally for Josephina, if you have someone make you a neutral round neck (up to the neck) sleeveless leotard (skin colored) that might help to wear other clothing. Just an idea. Thank you! My computer posted this when I shut down to go out and left out that I appreciate the wonderful way you have developed the collection. Thank you!
@@JoanneSag like a modern outift? I think I’ve seen other pow wow outfits called “of today”, so maybe you’re onto something. I still like it tho 😆 As for Josephina, I think I’ll she display her up high once I set up that shelf lol. But shortening the necklace helped
See... Im a sucker for Caroline and Felicity's collections because I reenact those eras. I live in NW Ohio, so the War of 1812 is a huge part of our local history I love!
@@jessnawoods I definitely love felicity’s collection-it was hard picking a favorite for her. I love Caroline in her meet outift so much nothing else comes close
That's my favorite Kaya outfit too. Wish they would issue at least one more outfit in a bright color. Two dresses are so similar in color to the Meet outfit, I never bothered to buy them.
@@lindaf382 the blue is tempting but not enough to pay the after market prices. Is it Beforever? It’s even more colorful than this one. Her travel outift was nice too! Even if it was mostly white / off white.
I loved this video!! You chose really great outfits for all of them! Is it bad that I automatically knew you didn’t have Marie Grace when you said you didn’t have one of the historicals? 😂❤️ lovely collection as always! 🫶🏻
@@americangirlfilms Bailey!! Can you believe I forgot one of the historicals?? I have her and must’ve looked up at her 25x while recording and STILL didn’t notice 🤣🥴 Haha what is it about MG you knew I didn’t have her? Is it that weird shape of her left eye socket?? Maybe it’s just alllll the ones I’ve seen, like she was defective before. Anyway, I think because I have Nanea in my Maryellen collection, I forget she’s her own character ☠️☠️
@@DisBlaine omg that’s so funny I didn’t notice either!! I remembered that you got Cecile for your birthday, but I hadn’t seen any Marie Grace! Her sculpt is kind of wonky sometimes! lol ❤️🫶🏻
Hmm...I could have sworn that it wasn't until the BeForever rereleese that the outfits started not being historicaly accurate, and Caroline was the last classic, 6-book character to be released before that. Josefina has a separate necklace that goes with her birthday heirloom accessories...a black chocker. Was really bummed they didn't bring back the complete birthday outfit. The outfit for Kirsten was the 1st ever set of 5 limited edition outfits for the girls, and came out in 1997. And if memory serves me right it was only the coat, scarf and skates. I believe they paired it with the wool skirt and blouse that went with the knit woolens, original 1st winter outfit. -Kyle (aka AmericanBoyCollectsAmericanGirl)
@@kyled4322 I think the outfit designs for Caroline are accurate enough, but the colors are off. Pink for example was a boy color back then. But since it’s toy companies fave color for girl toys, she has the pinkest meet outfit of all time lol. For the heirloom accessories, I can only hope AG rereleases them someday, because I refuse to pay that price for a scarf, choker and fan 🤣 but I would love to add it to her outfit. It really does make the outfit even more beautiful. In the special edition pamphlet, the dress peaking out from under Kirsten’s coat has blue horizontal stripes with a red hem / trim. I don’t know her collection enough to place it.
I guess you don’t have Nanea either? I love the Marie-Grace mold so much, but I don’t like Marie-Grace as she comes. But as a result, I can’t bond well with Cécile either. I either want both or have neither. I feel their collection is as lacking as Caroline’s since they also weren’t available long.
@@starryeyeschick I must’ve looked up at nanea 75x while recording this! She’s displayed right in front of where I’m sitting. She’s part of my Maryellen’s world, so I must’ve forgotten she has her own collection 🥴
The pale blue one is a perfect Clara from "The Nutcracker" dress. It is lovely but the purple one is warmer and more of a winter dress. Probably a tad more authentic - but I am torn. I would like the purple one but I do have this one.
Thanks for the video really enjoyed it. Here are my favorites Kaya the original blue jingle dress, I don’t have felicity or Caroline but loves Elizabeth’s pink riding outfit. Josefina I love her weaving outfit. Marie grace I love her purple and gold outfit. The yellow one I beautiful and on my list the get. Addy her stripped dress and her birthday outfit. Samantha her midi outfit and her blue skating dress. Kirsten her winter woolens outfit Molly her ice skating outfit. Julie her pinball outfit I know that is not for you. Claudine her new traveling dress Melody her birthday outfit. Rebecca her newest Hanukkah outfit. Kit I like her treehouse outfit but I really like her entire collection. I don’t have the 90’ twins but I have the skateboarding outfit I really like that. Mary Ellen sock op outfit is cute but I like her peddle-pushes and red and white top I don’t have the shoes. I don’t have Courtney but I like her denim jacket and skirt with the white boots. I don’t have any of her pajamas now I want that onesie. I put Courtney collection on my 127. Josefina has a fiesta dress and the party dress with the black jacket and her serape that is pretty covered up.
@@NailahVenable I was tempted to chase Kaya’s blue pow wow outift, but I think I like it about the same as this pow wow. Her jingle outfit is honestly interesting. It gives me a western / cowboy vibe. I didn’t realize most of her outifts are “of today”, probably because they didn’t consult with anyone on them. But they are all nice! I actually love Kirsten’s winter woolens too! I might try for it one day. I have the pinball outift on Evette, but it does feel less authentic (as if I would have a clue lol!) Courtney’s onesie is a must have! It doesn’t have to be part of her collections since strawberry shortcake has come back so many times lol. I almost want to buy a second to put on a doll I can cuddle 🤣
@@DisBlaine I saw the jingle dress on video of actual native dance exhibition and fell in love now I want the pink one but it is expensive. I have the blue pow wow outfit it is beautiful. It is often on eBay at not a bad price. I agree I never thought about getting it until I heard you describe it as cuddly now I want it. I have very little will power. Keep making great videos it is a joy to hear your love for your dolls.
@@NailahVenable ohhhh so they are modern pow wow outfits. The jingle dress certainly looks modern! I guess most of her outfits do come to think of it. Well! I hope you can get the onesie on sale! And tell me if you love it. I don’t want to give bad advice so I’ll correct myself in a later vid if you don’t love it 🤣
@@DisBlaine you are always very clear and we grown ups get to be responsible for our choices. Like someone else said your videos are like a conversation with a fun doll friend keep them coming.
@@scarletsavenger1367 isn’t it nuts I forgot her?? I made this list a month ago, so I can’t remember if I omitted her on purpose or subconsciously because I don’t like any of her outfits. I have her as part of Maryellen’s world… but so weird of me!!
@@kyled4322 oh nooooo 🤣🤣 I made this list 2 months ago, so I don’t know if I forgot her subconsciously or purposely. Yep I have her… but she’s not only my least favorite historical doll, I don’t like any of her outfits. At all. Maybe I omitted her because I didn’t want to be a jerk. But really, I completely forgot about her! She’s part of Maryellen’s world in my collection. ☠️☠️
@@iamsoverybored878 Julie had a Barbie styling head, so they could give Courtney SOMETHING. Maybe they’re trying to keep Barbie stuff more elite now, like the limited edition doll.
Kit’s Hobo Outfit: The AG hat with the hobo outfit sits on top of the head and does not drop over the circumference of the head. It isn’t worth it if it didn’t come with the set. Her brown boots that go with the hobo outfit are worth it. Great quality. I use them for multiple outfits. It is one of the few outfits that work on the boys and the girls. I am sure Kit was wearing a “boy” outfit for her adventure (“Kit Saves the Day”- fifth book in the original six book series).
@@TrobertABQ yeah the hobo boots are definitely unique and nice. I don’t need them for my collection, and I really wanted the overalls top for other dolls, so I’m fine without the hat and boots (for now). Ahhh so that explains why it’s so boyish looking. Okay that makes sense. Thanks for explaining! 🥳

The heirloom accessories are on my wish list: to get rereleased 🤣 I don’t want to pay those aftermarket prices! After looking into more of her outfits I definitely love this one best. But it’s 67% nicer with the shawl lol.
Oh yes Cecile’s holiday dress is nice too-and I’m sure the materials are better! I still can’t believe what this one is made of. Samantha will never give back that parasol 🤣
Caroline’s birthday dress is a thinner cotton. It’s very nice. Of course, the details are printed on, not embroidered. It’s just a beautiful color on her and I use her blue shoes all the time.
@@melangellperry5984 oh yes lady Rebecca talked about that in her video. Do you have her party gown? That’s the one I’m sorrrrt of interested in but Rebecca didn’t review it.
I agree with almost all your choices for your doll. The only one I don't care so much for, is Samantha's Beforever dress and those purple boots. The whole outfit seems like a doll outfit rather than a period outfit. Otherwise i am behind all your choices. ❤
@@lisbetsoda4874 haha can you believe that’s what I love about Samantha’s frilly frock? She just looks like a child’s doll and not a historical character to me.
Braiding doll hair is special. I love doing it, but since their heads turn easily, I struggle with their fancier styles if I'm trying to go in a direction other than straight down the head.
@@DarcysNova626 oh I definitely love braiding. When I collected rainbow high, I used to microbraid them - I’m talking each braid was made of 3 hair plugs. At least I knew how to evenly separate each one.
I have no idea what this braid convo has to do with this video 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@DisBlaine you were talking about learning to French braid Josefina's haor
Nice choices! Josefina’s original birthday outfit had an accessory set “heirloom accessories” with a black cord necklace that is tighter on her neck and has a tear drop gem on it.
My Josefina is usually in her school outfit (blue skirt). I love her green harvest outfit for the fall. Her fiesta dress is an expensive second hand purchase. It is more European in style and meets your preference for high necklines.
@@TrobertABQ heirloom accessories, those are the ones! So that means the necklace on the book cover is a different one? Oops 🤣 I love the fan that comes with the set. I’ll try to find it one day.
The high neckline is nice on the fiesta dress… but that’s all I really like about it 🥴 Truthfully everything looks better in person, so it’s probably gorgeous in really life. Her harvest outfit is definitely beautiful even in pics.
@@DisBlaine The yellow shawl also is a part of the heirloom accessories. You (or other interested people) may be able to buy the necklace second hand without the shawl and the fan. I don’t know why AG didn’t include the necklace in the re-release of her birthday dress except that it originally was in a separate set.
@@TrobertABQ as much as I’d love that set, I can only hope for a rerelease of it-I don’t want to spend the aftermarket price for a shawl, fan and choker 😬
You should put Nicki’s doc martens from the red vinyl jumper on Kit when she’s wearing the overalls. Kit’s boots are literally those boots in dark brown. Even had the same Girl of Today logo/tread on the bottom!
@@starryeyeschick oh is that all they are? I think I can put any boots with it then. I can paint the TM boots 😅
Once again, this was the latest, best video I liked. Now, I am rethinking to have my collection only historical line. From Kaya to Nikki & Isabella, showing them in a timeline as you display. Lol, I guess I have some remodeling / organizing to do. 🤷🏾♀️😊
@@ms.shaneis955 oh nooo lol reorganizing is so much work! Think about it first. I’ve been moving dolls around because of my videos, and my room is a mess! I wouldn’t wish this on anyone lol. But I’m glad you liked seeing them displayed in chronological order. 🥰
@DisBlaine lol, thank you, but it's a good thing as I continue to collect and organize.
@@ms.shaneis955 ahhh okay, as long as it’s a good influence lol.
Do you purchase Target's "Our Generation" 18inch doll clothes and Walmart's "My Life As" doll clothes? I hear they're made pretty good and quite inexpensive. The accessories and play sets as well.
@@kevincook8888 I’ve never seen my life as in person but I haven’t fallen in love with any OG clothes yet. I have enough between AG and Maplelea at this point, I don’t want to open any other floodgates 🤣
@DisBlaine Oooohh ...I heard that! In fact after I mentioned to you about my limited 18 inchers, I made the mistake of googling them to see other Magic Attic dolls. I'm kinda keeping an eye out for a good condition "Heather". Instead I found a mint-in-box "Rose". Mind you, I already have two, and now I got three. 🙄 Not to give you any ideas but are you familiar with Via E dolls? I think they're really pretty. Though they are pricey, I want to get "Melina", because of the longer hair. Maybe one of the other dolls as well. But as you say ... floodgates. Although I collect all kinds of dolls, the 18 inchers aren't even my favorites.
I think think of Kya's outfit as a celebration outfit for today. Additionally for Josephina, if you have someone make you a neutral round neck (up to the neck) sleeveless leotard (skin colored) that might help to wear other clothing. Just an idea. Thank you! My computer posted this when I shut down to go out and left out that I appreciate the wonderful way you have developed the collection. Thank you!
@@JoanneSag like a modern outift? I think I’ve seen other pow wow outfits called “of today”, so maybe you’re onto something. I still like it tho 😆
As for Josephina, I think I’ll she display her up high once I set up that shelf lol. But shortening the necklace helped
See... Im a sucker for Caroline and Felicity's collections because I reenact those eras. I live in NW Ohio, so the War of 1812 is a huge part of our local history I love!
@@jessnawoods I definitely love felicity’s collection-it was hard picking a favorite for her. I love Caroline in her meet outift so much nothing else comes close
That's my favorite Kaya outfit too. Wish they would issue at least one more outfit in a bright color. Two dresses are so similar in color to the Meet outfit, I never bothered to buy them.
@@lindaf382 the blue is tempting but not enough to pay the after market prices. Is it Beforever? It’s even more colorful than this one. Her travel outift was nice too! Even if it was mostly white / off white.
I loved this video!! You chose really great outfits for all of them! Is it bad that I automatically knew you didn’t have Marie Grace when you said you didn’t have one of the historicals? 😂❤️ lovely collection as always! 🫶🏻
@@americangirlfilms Bailey!! Can you believe I forgot one of the historicals?? I have her and must’ve looked up at her 25x while recording and STILL didn’t notice 🤣🥴
Haha what is it about MG you knew I didn’t have her? Is it that weird shape of her left eye socket?? Maybe it’s just alllll the ones I’ve seen, like she was defective before.
Anyway, I think because I have Nanea in my Maryellen collection, I forget she’s her own character ☠️☠️
@@DisBlaine omg that’s so funny I didn’t notice either!! I remembered that you got Cecile for your birthday, but I hadn’t seen any Marie Grace! Her sculpt is kind of wonky sometimes! lol ❤️🫶🏻
new disblaine video dropped, time to drop everything and watch!
@@wzrdkyu535 wellll this one is longer, so you can wait until you have time … but I hope you like it 🥰
Caroline grew up on Lake Ontario. Near oswego NY
@@gingerdean1521 oh no way! I’m on the other side of Lake Ontario but I technically grew up there too lol
Hmm...I could have sworn that it wasn't until the BeForever rereleese that the outfits started not being historicaly accurate, and Caroline was the last classic, 6-book character to be released before that.
Josefina has a separate necklace that goes with her birthday heirloom accessories...a black chocker. Was really bummed they didn't bring back the complete birthday outfit.
The outfit for Kirsten was the 1st ever set of 5 limited edition outfits for the girls, and came out in 1997. And if memory serves me right it was only the coat, scarf and skates. I believe they paired it with the wool skirt and blouse that went with the knit woolens, original 1st winter outfit. -Kyle (aka AmericanBoyCollectsAmericanGirl)
@@kyled4322 I think the outfit designs for Caroline are accurate enough, but the colors are off. Pink for example was a boy color back then. But since it’s toy companies fave color for girl toys, she has the pinkest meet outfit of all time lol.
For the heirloom accessories, I can only hope AG rereleases them someday, because I refuse to pay that price for a scarf, choker and fan 🤣 but I would love to add it to her outfit. It really does make the outfit even more beautiful.
In the special edition pamphlet, the dress peaking out from under Kirsten’s coat has blue horizontal stripes with a red hem / trim. I don’t know her collection enough to place it.
I guess you don’t have Nanea either?
I love the Marie-Grace mold so much, but I don’t like Marie-Grace as she comes. But as a result, I can’t bond well with Cécile either. I either want both or have neither. I feel their collection is as lacking as Caroline’s since they also weren’t available long.
@@starryeyeschick I must’ve looked up at nanea 75x while recording this! She’s displayed right in front of where I’m sitting. She’s part of my Maryellen’s world, so I must’ve forgotten she has her own collection 🥴
the light blue dress is cute but i think i like the Purple Hanukkah dress more
@@thespiderofhonor3732 oh no, don’t tempt me! I’m so weak when it comes to doll peer pressure 🤣
The pale blue one is a perfect Clara from "The Nutcracker" dress. It is lovely but the purple one is warmer and more of a winter dress. Probably a tad more authentic - but I am torn. I would like the purple one but I do have this one.
I want kits overall outfit so bad. It’s costs $100+ dollars. I wish AG would re release it. 😢😢😢
@@scarletsavenger1367 I know!! That’s why when I found the overalls and shirt so cheap, I didn’t care about the shoes and hat.
Thanks for the video really enjoyed it. Here are my favorites Kaya the original blue jingle dress, I don’t have felicity or Caroline but loves Elizabeth’s pink riding outfit. Josefina I love her weaving outfit. Marie grace I love her purple and gold outfit. The yellow one I beautiful and on my list the get. Addy her stripped dress and her birthday outfit. Samantha her midi outfit and her blue skating dress. Kirsten her winter woolens outfit Molly her ice skating outfit. Julie her pinball outfit I know that is not for you. Claudine her new traveling dress Melody her birthday outfit. Rebecca her newest Hanukkah outfit. Kit I like her treehouse outfit but I really like her entire collection. I don’t have the 90’ twins but I have the skateboarding outfit I really like that. Mary Ellen sock op outfit is cute but I like her peddle-pushes and red and white top I don’t have the shoes. I don’t have Courtney but I like her denim jacket and skirt with the white boots. I don’t have any of her pajamas now I want that onesie. I put Courtney collection on my 127.
Josefina has a fiesta dress and the party dress with the black jacket and her serape that is pretty covered up.
@@NailahVenable I was tempted to chase Kaya’s blue pow wow outift, but I think I like it about the same as this pow wow. Her jingle outfit is honestly interesting. It gives me a western / cowboy vibe. I didn’t realize most of her outifts are “of today”, probably because they didn’t consult with anyone on them. But they are all nice!
I actually love Kirsten’s winter woolens too! I might try for it one day.
I have the pinball outift on Evette, but it does feel less authentic (as if I would have a clue lol!)
Courtney’s onesie is a must have! It doesn’t have to be part of her collections since strawberry shortcake has come back so many times lol. I almost want to buy a second to put on a doll I can cuddle 🤣
@@DisBlaine I saw the jingle dress on video of actual native dance exhibition and fell in love now I want the pink one but it is expensive. I have the blue pow wow outfit it is beautiful. It is often on eBay at not a bad price. I agree I never thought about getting it until I heard you describe it as cuddly now I want it. I have very little will power. Keep making great videos it is a joy to hear your love for your dolls.
@@NailahVenable ohhhh so they are modern pow wow outfits. The jingle dress certainly looks modern! I guess most of her outfits do come to think of it.
Well! I hope you can get the onesie on sale! And tell me if you love it. I don’t want to give bad advice so I’ll correct myself in a later vid if you don’t love it 🤣
@@DisBlaine you are always very clear and we grown ups get to be responsible for our choices. Like someone else said your videos are like a conversation with a fun doll friend keep them coming.
Very good video can you please make a video about Marisol, maritzaand Josefina
@@marylopezoficial1260 thanks Mary! I don’t know if I’ll make a video for a doll by herself-but they’ll all be in my video next Sunday if that helps 😬
@@DisBlaine hi yes together ❤️
what about is Nanea? 34:42
@@scarletsavenger1367 isn’t it nuts I forgot her?? I made this list a month ago, so I can’t remember if I omitted her on purpose or subconsciously because I don’t like any of her outfits. I have her as part of Maryellen’s world… but so weird of me!!
@@DisBlaine hahha I understand that I don’t like any of kavis outfits 😂
Just curious...you don't have Nanea?? She was the only historical doll you never mentioned. Could have sworn I saw her in your all my dolls video. 🤔
@@kyled4322 oh nooooo 🤣🤣
I made this list 2 months ago, so I don’t know if I forgot her subconsciously or purposely. Yep I have her… but she’s not only my least favorite historical doll, I don’t like any of her outfits. At all.
Maybe I omitted her because I didn’t want to be a jerk. But really, I completely forgot about her! She’s part of Maryellen’s world in my collection. ☠️☠️
17:07 her outfit reminds me of little bo peep 😂
@@scarletsavenger1367 100%!! I honestly meant to say I wish she had a staff to go with the outfit.
@@DisBlaine that would be amazing! You can make her one! lol
Shouldn't Courtney have a Barbie theme outfit. AG is own by Mattel after all. Also a MLP one.
@@iamsoverybored878 Julie had a Barbie styling head, so they could give Courtney SOMETHING. Maybe they’re trying to keep Barbie stuff more elite now, like the limited edition doll.
@@DisBlaine Like a mini iconic Barbie doll from the 80s. They could do this to dolls from the 60s and on.
Kit’s Hobo Outfit: The AG hat with the hobo outfit sits on top of the head and does not drop over the circumference of the head. It isn’t worth it if it didn’t come with the set.
Her brown boots that go with the hobo outfit are worth it. Great quality. I use them for multiple outfits.
It is one of the few outfits that work on the boys and the girls. I am sure Kit was wearing a “boy” outfit for her adventure (“Kit Saves the Day”- fifth book in the original six book series).
@@TrobertABQ yeah the hobo boots are definitely unique and nice. I don’t need them for my collection, and I really wanted the overalls top for other dolls, so I’m fine without the hat and boots (for now).
Ahhh so that explains why it’s so boyish looking. Okay that makes sense. Thanks for explaining! 🥳
