You may be right. She seems to be a confusing doll for sure! I will definitely keep my dreamer and the Beforever. I found it interesting to see how different they all looked. Thanks so much for watching! 🙏😊
I believe the 2098 date in the first Samantha does not have anything to do with her production date so she most likely is from the 90s like the seller said. She is actually my favorite of the 4. I too have a Samantha with the same shorter hair style but I can’t remember if she had that extra material in the back near the top of the strings. I almost think that version is older than your other two. I would sell her and the 2nd doll, however I would keep her entire outfit and box for your dreamer Samantha. Thus, I would sell her nude or put a different outfit on her. If you want the most money out of her then you should sell her as is with box, but personally I would keep the complete outfit for your favorite one so she is complete. I would also keep the beforever one because she is super cute and very different from your dreamer girl. At least these are my thoughts if I had these 4 dolls.
I appreciate your suggestions. They sound like a good idea. I feel bad dismantling the perfect one in the box but I can make it along belong to my dreamer girl and sell the other one in a cute outfit. Good idea. I will give that some thought. Thanks for taking the time to give me your ideas. 🥰
I appreciate your comments and ideas. Thank you! I feel very lucky to have four of them but two would be plenty. It is hard to sell them but I am not attached to them all. I need to make room for my new Evette that is on her way! 🥰 Happy New Year!
To me, it seems like your boxed Samantha has a Mattel face mold. Your favorite Sam has an older style face. I prefer the Mattel mold, but that's just me. I would sell your boxed doll, disclosing that she's marked 2008 and the Sam with the straighter hair. I'd keep your favorite and the Beforever. You can always get more tights and shoes. Keep your boxed doll's parts all together for sale.
Thank you for your helpful comments and suggestions! I do think the boxed Samantha is pretty too, but I prefer the face of the older dolls. Probably because I didn't grow up with these dolls. They came out when my Son was a little boy, so they weren't on my radar until I was an adult. I really like older dolls. :)
That’s a good question! I got my Beforever Samantha first. I wanted a pleasant company so I bought one from my friend. He wanted to fix her hair first and I got impatient and saw the dreamer one on eBay and fell in love. The one in box was on impulse but I think I will sell her and the one from my friend. I just haven’t bonded with her. Thanks for asking! I appreciate your comment. 😃
Beautiful Samantha, Samanthas 😄 I also have two, bought one for the outfit she came with but can't make me sell the duplicate 😅 If money is not the motivation i would keep all the clothing and your favorite two dolls. If you want to make money of selling them i would sell the doll in the box with her clothes. Meet outfit is not hard to find second hand so you probably will find one later easy. Dating them i'm to no help 😅 😊
Thank you for your helpful suggestions! I will likely keep the clothes as you suggest. I will sell one meet outfit with a doll and keep one for my doll. It's a tough problem to have. LOL Have a great day!
The Smantha that has the 2008 body tag had to be released in the early mid 2000s. Her box is the 2d variation of boxes that mattel had made for the dolls. My guess would be around 2002-2006, she has the same style box Kaya would have had when she was released which was 2002 and they had changed the box to the one with stars on the side in 2006 when Jess came out.
I really don’t know much at all. It looks like someone sold you the 35th anniversary Samantha doll and is lying about it being from the 90s. I don’t know if the anniversary dolls had “pleasant co” on the neck though? In general, do what makes you happy. Keep the dreamer in the outfit you love most!
Thank you for sharing I would sell the one wonky hair, I can’t part with any of mine, so I’m a dolly junkie, lol I’ve seen black tights and her shoes for sale many many times online for a very reasonable prices.. Keep us posted!
I understand what you mean. It's hard to part with any of them! In this case having four of the same doll is more than I need though. I have put two up for sale. The one in the box and the one with straight hair. Thanks for the tip on the tights. Maybe I should just order some new shoes and tights.
@idreamofjonny breaks down all about the different Samantha's and more (PCs dolls). As well as Kathy Leppert on @Rachelhoffman channel, which has a few videos talking and breaking down the difference of PC /AG dolls. They both helped me a lot with my collection. Hope this helps 😊
Oh yes, I am subscribed to both of their channels. Thanks, they have been really helpful. I was interested to hear viewers thoughts on the ones I had. The one in the box especially is a bit of a mystery. One viewer commented they thought it may be a 35th anniversary doll, although I was told she was from the 90's. It's fun to be a sleuth and try and figure it all out. Thanks for sharing those great channels. I agree they are very informative.
Thank you for that information. It does seem like she is newer than what I was told. Maybe I should keep her since I have Nellie, who is maybe from the same time frame? Thanks for your comment!
Well, I just ordered Evette too!!! I have been debating and when you said her name, I couldn’t resist. Hubby said it is my bday present. I hope I get her on my bday. Your boxed Samantha is the cutest (in my eyes) next to the one in the pink dress. Love that pink dress!!!! It is interesting to see how people are attracted to the features on these dolls. I did notice Evette has eye lashes around her eyes. Such an adorable feature to look for in the future. I certainly enjoyed this video. I am very picky and love AG dolls the most.
@@CherishedDollFriendsHi Cheryl, I was looking to talk to you via email but you don’t have one listed. So I’ll just tell you here. I went back to look at the EVETTE doll, and ended up reading the reviews. There were quite a few BAD reviews about her hair and legs. I haven’t received mine yet and am hoping it is not a disaster as these buyers write. Have you received your doll yet? I’m still waiting on it to be shipped. Hope we both get better dolls. Chris Tina
@@CeeceeWhip Hi Chris Tina, I do have an email on my channel. Maybe you have to scroll down more. It's paintedpaws@protonmail.com I am aware of the hair complaints on Evette but I'm not concerned as I don't plan to play with her hair. I like her hair because it is very similar to mine. I had not heard about her legs though? I haven't received mine yet. I hope we both get good ones!

It's incredible how different the same dolls can look! Such variety~which is the interesting part of doll collecting! These Samantha dolls are lovely!
I totally agree! Thanks for watching :)
Thanks for sharing your beautiful dolls! Samantha is so cute!!!❤️
It was so fun to share them with you. Thanks for watching and supporting my channel. It means a lot. 🙏😊
@@CherishedDollFriends you are very welcome! Thank you!🙏🏻😊

I agree with Nana on keeping the boxed Samantha together to sell & keeping the dreamer and the newer one with pink outfit. Those are my 2 favorite ❤️
Thanks for your thoughts. We will see what happens! I agree on the two to keep. :)

The in-box Samantha is from I think Early to mid 2000s cause of the box and her body tag says 2008..08 was when Samantha and Nellie were retired.
Thank you for that information. It does seem like she is newer than what I was told. Maybe I should keep her since I have Nellie, who is maybe from the same time frame? Thanks for your comment!

I just got Evette for my 64 birthday and she is perfect! No problems with the legs or hair. I too plan not to play with her hair to avoid issues 💗
How did get 4 Samanthas? I technically have 2 but one is a thrift store find and she needs to be sent into doll hospital
Im definately not going to be any help to you lol…. But they are beautiful ❤
Thank you for watching! 😊
