I am so sad they don’t have the original historical dolls anymore.Addie (African American) Josefina (Latina), Kirsten ( Swedish immigrant), Molly (WWII era) Kit ( 1930’s i think?) Kaija (Native American), Felicity ( 1775 Williamsburg)
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!
The matching historical doll and girl outfits im loving right now I think that's a hint of what's to come in future releases. I love the twins by the way
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😂🤦♀️.
Ok but the girl they had with Melody actually looks a lot like her. Also, they've already had dolls with both those names. I've never seen them repeat names before, that's interesting.
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
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.
Actually, They are not the first EVER twins in American girl history. The first ever twins in American Girl history are the travel twins McKayla and Michael.
This was very fun and exciting! I feel especially for those of us who have been friends with American Girl since the 90s and who are twins 💕It is definitely a come full circle moment 😊
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.
Although I prefer the historical characters, I recognize that the Twins Isabel and Nicky are really cute, sweet and adorable: two perfect modern girls 👍👏.
Wow, so 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s are all blond-haired, blue-eyed white dolls. American girl sure loves to make that same doll over and over again. Most of their dolls already look a lot alike cause they don't have that many different face molds, but to still give most of them the same skin color, eye color, and hair color is ridiculous. Other races of girls existed after the 1960s, American Girl. I bet the 2000s will be blond haired and blue eyed too.
@@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.
It would be nice if the host actually took time to prepare and learned how to pronounce Nanea's name. It would take less of her time than it took for the girls to dress up. I guess it wasn't "white" enough😒... Pointing out that the girls were nervous was unnecessary as well. We can assume that they were but there was no reason to put that on blast. That probably made them even more nervous and they were adorable and did a good job!
As a black person, I feel like we need more asian and hispanic dolls. Hispanics were a major part of 90s history and trend setting. this was the perfect time to add them in. there are a plethora of white American girl dolls and quite honestly its a slap in the face to all of the other cultures that built America. Probably can count each "minority" races on one hand whereas the others I would need at least 3 hands. This isn't a dig at anyone I just feel like proper and plentiful representation is needed.
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*
You know after the 90s I didn't realize decades still exist for the 2000s, im born in the 2000s. I was little. But now we're all ready 3 years in of the 2020s and it's scaring the shit out of me. My generation is next for the American girl dolls 😭😭😭
Samantha is my favorite. My mom bought me Samantha in the 1990s. I recently learned Samantha’s story. She is so kind. We have the same values. Kindness, equality and friendship. I also like fancy things to be honest 😅. And she was pretty lucky.
Istg if im like 30 and they make a doll representing 2016 and call it "historical" I'll will never forgive myself or the company (I'll still buy the dolls tho :P)

im in my 20s and wanting to still get one theres never been a doll that looked exactly like me i had julie and a truly me which was number 59 i have dark blonde hair with a golden blonde highlight and blue eyes niki and lila together are the closest that have been similar to me if lila had nickis eyes it would be me as a doll :) im wanting to get one of them im leaning more torwards lila though because i also have freckles im wondering if they will do a 2000s decade doll i was born in 2000
They timed this lol I was born roughly when the historical doll are born abit older 1990s. Now my daughter entered the American doll age and I swear they calculated it lol. I ended up buying a bunch basically for my self . Even though she is not relating to the inflatable sofa lol , I am . I gave birth around the average age USA first time mom
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.
Y’all left out my favorites, Kaya and Abbie but that’s ok, I guess we can ignore native Americans and African American slaves since now we have the Olsen twins circa 1999….

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...
The matching historical doll and girl outfits im loving right now I think that's a hint of what's to come in future releases. I love the twins by the way

RIP all the old dolls that survived literal wars and escaped slavery.
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
I’m I the only one who Instantly think of Mary-Kate and Ashley with the new dolls
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
You forgot Kaya, Felicity, Caroline. Kirsten, Marie-Grace, Cecile Rey, Addy, Josefina and Molly.
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

The spice girls “Wannabe” song was perfect for that time period!!!
Yassss
That is definitely 1 of my favorite songs 🎶🎶🎶
Fun fact: my best friend dressed up as Isabel for this! When she told me she was going on tv as this I freaked out I was so happy!
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.
They’re more excited for the balloons at the end then the hundred dollar+ dolls. Good kids 👏
Actually, They are not the first EVER twins in American girl history. The first ever twins in American Girl history are the travel twins McKayla and Michael.
MY SISTER PLAYED KIT!!!!

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.
I just wish that they would have better names for them instead of using Isabel and Nicki like the Girl of the year dolls.
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 🥰
It still hasn’t hit me that my childhood is historical now. Gosh lol😅😂
Yep, the 90's were 30 years ago.
Although I prefer the historical characters, I recognize that the Twins Isabel and Nicky are really cute, sweet and adorable: two perfect modern girls 👍👏.
The 90s dolls make me so happy and sad at the same time. That’s my childhood 😭

The doll of the year this year wasn't blonde.
Definitely buying the whole collection no hesitation
Happy to see my childhood year to be added in. 91s baby here.
I LOVE Nicki so much!
Definitely inspired by the Olsen twins from that era
They had a blonde Isabelle dancer for girl of the year awhile back, they couldn't come up with new names. Nicki even sounds familiar 😂
Isn't that how names work?
90s was my era. I want the Nicki doll.
Need more tejana, Chinese, Mexican
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

So cute i love you rebeca
Iconic! I love it
don't they already have two girls of the year with both of those names? they couldn't be at least a little more original?
I totally agree
I love these books still and I'm 36. Usually get the books from thrift stores
This makes me feel old, and I am only 30.
Awesome 👏👏 Isabel & Nicki are also from my hometown Seattle 😉
I can’t wait to see them in person! I love them!!

People here complaining about no Hispanic doll. What about the Asian one? Asians are never represented
I was born in 1987. I think I am going to move to a nursing home.
Claudie is my next doll for sure so cute
This makes me wanna cry. The fact that the 90s are a period where American girl has a doll to represent it 😣.
I wonder what 2020 Doll gonna look like? Probably with a mask accessory? Lol
Noooooo. I feel old now
tfw you're a 90s kid and you end up with dolls representing your era
They were more into the balloons than the dolls.
Felicity is far superior ❤ But my God I’m finally old enough to have an American Girl representative of my childhood lol
I'm liking Isabel & Nicki from the 1990's my time in fact I just bought Nicki and figured she's more of the American Girl version of me than Isabel

Where's Molly😪
Where’s my girls molly
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.
Aww. the little models are so adorable.
❤.love 😊it
YAY i Love this
Ginger pronounced Nanea’s name wrong! It’s Na-Ney-a not Na-Nia!
This is why I really love American girl. Never had em or wanted them, I preferred GI Joes lol. But they’re so inclusive and diversified
Did people of color not exist in the 90’s? Or the 80’s (looking at you Courtney)? I went to American public school with Filipino and Black American kids.
They don’t have all of them
du fuq happened to molly mcintire!?!?!
I would die for them😊
I use to have Julie lol except old version
I have kerstin
Wait why are all of the other dolls before 1900 not there anymore?!
What about addy josefina
Where tf is kaya at
Only 2 black girls? Sad😢
Majority of America is white cry about it
They forgot Addy 😭
Why do they have the lineup for the fashion show include only the ones we've never heard of and not the iconic ones like Addy or Josefina? That was so disappointing.
Why is Nanea white 👁️👄👁️
im in my 20s and wanting to still get one theres never been a doll that looked exactly like me i had julie and a truly me which was number 59 i have dark blonde hair with a golden blonde highlight and blue eyes niki and lila together are the closest that have been similar to me if lila had nickis eyes it would be me as a doll :) im wanting to get one of them im leaning more torwards lila though because i also have freckles im wondering if they will do a 2000s decade doll i was born in 2000
*screams in Millennial*
They timed this lol I was born roughly when the historical doll are born abit older 1990s. Now my daughter entered the American doll age and I swear they calculated it lol. I ended up buying a bunch basically for my self . Even though she is not relating to the inflatable sofa lol , I am . I gave birth around the average age USA first time mom
1999 is not historical
1990 sure but not 1999
Might aswell make them 2000
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.

Y’all left out my favorites, Kaya and Abbie but that’s ok, I guess we can ignore native Americans and African American slaves since now we have the Olsen twins circa 1999….
Claudie is black! Melody is black! The 1941 one is polynesian! Kavi is Indian... I could go on for AGES.
So im gonna be the next to become hestorical I feel so old

The 90s isn’t that long ago 💀
Where TF are Josephina and Addy?!
