Mia's Bedroom Accessories $30
Comes with (from the site): ~Three posters of figure skaters and city scenes (one is reversible!) ~Snowflake stickers to hang the posters on her bedroom walls ~Four skating ribbons and a skating trophy from past competitions ~A fleece bedspread with a tie-dye and star print ~Plush penguin and walrus ~A calendar ~Mini versions of the Sports Secrets and Real Fitness books.
You get a lot in this set and it's really nice the posters are cute the little ribbons and trophy super cute. Her little plush guys how could you not love them! And little doll sized books, The bedspread has 3 different colours and little stars its really nice but it is thin, even if you don't get her bed I would still get this set it's nice. I'd give her bedroom accessories an A (The trophy and ribbons could be lost kind of east they are little)
Mia’s passion for figure skating shines through in her frosty-themed bedroom. With this skating-inspired bedroom décor, Mia creates a cozy place to dream:
* Three posters of figure skaters and city scenes (two are reversible!) * Snowflake stickers to hang the posters on her bedroom walls * Four skating ribbons and a skating trophy from past competitions * A flannel bedspread with a tie-dye and star print to keep her warm at night * Plush penguin and walrus * A calendar so Mia can organize her busy schedule at the rink * Mini versions of the Sports Secrets and Real Fitness books, filled with athletic advice and fun ideas for staying fit
I almost didn't buy this because I thought $30 was a bit high for the little amount of things that you get. The box is so small and most of the things are paper (the trophy is plastic.)
but look at these little faces? How could I refuse?
I'm a sucker for AG animals (yes, I bought Kaya's too) I think all the girls need their animals, stuffed or otherwise.
Walrus measures 3 1/2" long by 3" tall. Penguin is 3" tall by 1 1/2" wide.

Hi, I have this stuff. I do say this is an example of how AG will & CAN take advantage of you. First off, what would Mia's bedroom be without her blanket? Nothing. Everyone sleeps with blankets. You don't want your dollie to get chilly! The rest of it is a piece of plastic, Silk ribbons, paper, and 2 plushies. I really thought the ribbons were cool & the blanket. But SERIOUSLY there has to be a line......... $30. Now thats the line.......

I agree with Whitney about the price grade. I wouldn't go so far as to give the price an F, but definitely a C-. I think a much fairer price for the set would have been $20 (or even $24, if AG wanted to be up to their usual price mark-ups).
But the items are so adorable! I really like having things to make doll rooms look more "homey," so the posters, trophy, and ribbons are really great. The posters are a heavy quality paper, and they're glossy, so scotch tape can be put on and peeled off without damaging the poster. The stickers I found useless, and I don't intend to put them on any AG furniture, because I doubt they're as reusable as the posters are.
Obviously, the best parts are the blanket and those adorable little plushies! The blanket is rather thin, but not quite as bad as I expected from pictures. It's sort of a felt material, and I love the shade of purple. And I just love, love, LOVE those adorable little animals! They're both really soft and cuddly, and fit perfectly in a doll's hand. They're the cutest accessories AG has ever made (and yes, I will stand by that forever).

I can't remember who asked for these pictures but since I'm at the doll house I have finally got them together.
There is a difference between Mia's penguin and the new one with the JLY robe. Mia's is smaller and made of a fur type fabric. JLY is a smooth felt, or fleece and about 3/8 " taller. (Hat and scarf, too)
