Opinions on New AG Items

Hello! I haven't been posting at all- needless to say, I barely had anything to post about and with plenty of summer camps, it's hard to blog. You know, no motivation and barely no time? Exactly. But I am going to post my opinions on the American Girl releases. I moved on from my blog and my dolls, but I'm still interested in new releases from AG. I'm going to the Mall of America tomorrow and I am looking forward to visiting the AG store and seeing some of the products in real life- and of course- I have opinions.
Lemon-neon-yellow is not a good color for any blonde (trust me, I would know) and this is no exception. Why not sparkles, black, or even pink? Also, McKenna is not a rhythmic gymnast, so why would she have a hoop and a ribbon? I find this set is very inaccurate to McKenna's story, but I like that AG is trying to appeal to all gymnasts. 

Cute! But pricey! For what it's worth, this set is very historically accurate, but I think AG went a little overboard creating an authentic VW. It would have been better if they created a knock-off for cheaper. And why are 10-year-olds driving a car? And if it's $350, please make it out of a harder, more durable material than plastic!

Cute! Cute! I love these cute little snacks that are perfect for girls with allergies! I love that AG is trying to appeal to all girls. Wether they have an allergy or not, this snack set is super cute!

First of all, I love this new AG doll- she's super cute, but her hair might be very to maintain, especially if this doll is given to younger girls. Second, I don't really like the new meet outfit, it's better than the old meet outfit, but the top remains me of a baby's onesie. I agree with other Bloggers that this outfit is a bit to juvenile.

Love the hearing aids! Kudos to AG for creating a piece that will help AG dolls appeal to more girls. This does really give more options to more girls to help create a doll that is really "just like them."I just wish that, like the ear-piercing option, that it is available to all dolls.

And finally, bald dolls. I kind of like these dolls in a weird sort of way. I really like that these appeal to girls with hair-loss or cancer. 

Overall, I give the new AG releases a B. What do you think?
