I want an Addy face mold GOTY too! I do like the doll, but feel lukewarm toward her color pallet and collection, (way too My Life As!) and I don't plan to purchase anything except the doll herself - eventually.
It’s adorable for 5/6 year olds. All the pastel colours and childish toys. Not necessarily an adult collector fan favourite for me 🙃🥰. But You Do You, no matter your age. 💕What appeals to you is for you! 🙏🏼🩷Think Mattel is wedding out adult collectors with this release?
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on Summer and her collection. My daughter and I share your same opinions. I’m not going to say much more because I was called a nasty name on another RUclips channel in the comments by another commenter for simply sharing my thoughts and I was in no way nasty. Why can’t people be civil. We all don’t like the same things, so what. I hope people will listen and be polite in your comments here. Thanks again for uploading. 🩷
I think that this doll will be a hit with children / younger collectors, I do think her outfits and accessories are very cohesive. To me it seems they’ve packaged a bunch of the most popular themes (pets, bakery, rainbows) into one to try and grab a bigger younger audience. I can see why they did that for profit reasons but she doesn’t feel particularly unique or have much charm to her in my opinion. While the base doll doesn’t blow me away like Corrine and Claudie, I do quite like her face and hair colour combo and love the glasses. I would like her outfits considerably more if the shoes were just one colour though!
I’d love for you to do a GoTY collection ranking, though I think the earlier dolls, maybe 2005-2016 would rank considerably higher than most recent ones. I’m not a fan of this doll, though I think she will sell really with young girls, and her collection really lacks any uniqueness. I hope AG does better next year.
Thank you for sharing! Summer is not hitting me. Not my favorite face mold and vibe. But my 9 year old niece goes crazy about puppets and rainbow clothes. On the other hand, her parents don't see a reason to pay that much when there are a lot of similar stuff at much lower price...
Quite a few of the items in Summers collection are recycled from the truly me line. I have most of the GOTYs from the 2020s. I’m missing Kira and Summer.
I'm glad you got her because she is super cute and I also love that she has glasses. Not a fan of all of her colors and outfits, but I do think the PJs are cute. I have a custom Nanea who looks a lot like her, so I don't need to buy her. :) And I like mine better because she has freckles, no pink in her hair and Saige's eyes. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, as always!
I'm probably only getting her because I am a collector, however...I don't like her wig. I don't like the meet outfit. I don't like the shoes. They've been reused again again.
They're releasing them at the end of the year to get Christmas sales. It's smart business for them. Only thing I want is the sleeping bag. This doll will sell well. It's designed for 6-8 year olds. That's their new target audience for the big dolls. That's why the books are getting simpler (journals with lots of pictures and little words) and pink and pastels are ruling their collections. That's fine. They need money. I have a doll named Summer, so I'm thrilled I don't like this one. My Summer is a CYO I got during the online benefits sale years ago. She's also a blue-eyed strawberry blonde.

Summer was designed for the target audience and I’m not the target audience.

Summer's collection totally gives Rainbow High to me ... But with a higher price point. 🤔

I’m excited to see your unboxing video so I can see what she really looks like! ❤
I’ll text you the second she arrives!

To me, it looks like Summer and her collection was designed for kids who just made the transition from Wellie Wishers to AG.
The only thing I like and want is the pj’s and the pet carrier

I get releasing the doll for the holiday season, but what is American Girl doing releasing her in the middle of September???
I’m not a Nanea mold fan. She looks like a Nanea/McKenna mashup. I’m not into her colors or collection so I will pass on Summer.
She’s cute but I’m probably not going to get her, there’s just not really a wow factor for the collection
I can’t believe I used to not like Grace Thomas!!!! She’s so incredible compared to these Journey girl dolls they make now
