Speculation videos are my favorite. My daughter has two WellieWishers right now at age 5, and I would say they are a good introduction for her. I think she likes the magical side of their stories, but the older versions of the books and outfits were more realistic and she liked that too. I think it could be fun to see them rebranded as little sisters somehow, since that already seems to be what some collectors do with them in photos! However, when I saw the direction AG went with GOTY 2025 - that does tend to lean more "WellieWisher" to me with the bright colors etc. I saw the Kirsten Collector Doll peek, and I am quite disappointed if it really goes the way it seems like it will. It would have been so much more accessible and exciting to have Kirsten, Joesfina, and Addy's Christmas/Holiday outfits released. I would have snatched them up in a heartbeat- especially Kirsten's in order to get a pristine St. Lucia outfit. The socks and crown always seem to be unraveling or missing pieces in the secondhand market. I will not buy the whole doll just to get the outfit though. I already bought Kirsten in the 2024 release. I love the Janie and Jack outfits with the nods to historical dolls, especially Samantha's dress, locket and hat. I think it is fun, but I SO wish they would release the historical outfits and like you said - give Claudie a holiday dress!!
@@ParkingtonPlace I love that your daughter has been enjoying the Wellies! I haven't read their books at all, but they do look cute. I wonder if they might keep the fantastical elements but open up a second line with more realism? We'll see! Also 1000% agree with your comments re the holiday outfits. Still keeping my fingers crossed for our historical girlies! I happened across a great deal on a good condition St. Lucia outfit at a secondhand AG store, but it took me SO long scouring the internet and secondhand/antique stores before I could find one that wasn't in bad shape and not breaking the bank 😭
I love seeing the historical girls in their meet outfits. ❤ I am a big Kirstin fan and actually have two but having said that I do have limited space as well and I try not to have duplicate dolls. I do have two Caroline’s but one was from a thrift haul and I plan to customize her. I wish they would sell her St Lucia outfit separately. I recently put Claudie back in her meet outfit too. I just love her!
@@CherishedDollFriends there is something just so special about seeing the dolls in their full meet outfits! I will likely have some duplicates as I continue in my collecting journey, but first I need to upgrade to a 2-bedroom 🤣 thanks for watching 💕
Thanks for showing your girls they look great. I just dressed some of my girls for Fall. I totally agree we need more new releases for the historical dolls. I do like the new holiday releases and already ordered. I am looking forward to the new Moana doll. I will not be getting another Kirsten doll already have 2
@@nailahvenable7989 oh yay! Dressing them for fall is so fun. And the new Moana doll does look so stunning! I'm not a fan of Disney, so I will probably pass, but looking forward to seeing how people dress her up!
Learned so many things I hadn’t heard about! Wellie wisher rebrand would be cool since I think people seem to like the itty bitty babies as “little sisters” to the 18” dolls and Gwynn tan might have been the test run for that. Never would have guessed Julie’s pjs to come back! There’s so much I want from her! I’d love more rereleases but hope they don’t do exclusively or even mostly that for historicals now - I still want new outfits too! I agree a Kirsten collector doll is disappointing… the birthday outfit sold out for her so there’s clearly demand! Forcing the purchase of a duplicate doll feels shady. That whole “The American Girls Collection” didn’t seem like a one time thing to me but I guess we’ll see!
another amazing fixmyagdoll video! as expected!!!
@@agmolly15i awww, thank you!! You made my day 💕

I definitely want more for Melody and Claudie
ALSO THANK YOU! I only want one Kirsten.
@@scarletsavenger1367 yes!! Melody and Claudie deserve the spotlight 💕 and for real I do not have the space for doubles 😭

@@agtwins7198 you're so right- why start a whole new The American Girls Collection line and then not build it?!
