    oh my god, I was CRACKING UP at this. I loved listening to you explain your thought process. And as someone used to going in to our local AG store, it doesn't seem odd to see a doll to display each outfit. I know there are collectors who do this with Addy, Kirsten, Samantha, etc. It seems to be an approach that's more common with historicals than other AG doll lines. Your Claudies are absolutely LOVELY.

    I love Claudie, but I just have one. I hope they eventually release one in the TM line that looks like the Holiday doll because I would like the variation. I managed to get some of Claudie’s outfits and her bed in the Indigo sale (thank goodness for that sale), but I missed out on the bakery. I did get Kavi’s backstage, though. I have to get her newer outfits this year when AG has a big sale so I don’t miss out. I love that time period and the way it makes her look like she could be a doll produced much earlier (except for the plastic, I guess).
    As for having duplicate dolls, this is basically what Barbie was like in the 80s: many versions of a blonde doll with slightly different makeup in a different outfit. It’s largely why I stopped collecting because I see most dolls with the same mold and colouring as the same character and just mainly want the clothes, but you at least get to see all the outfits on display like in an AG store.
