RULES for REVIEWS

Welcome to the Historical Playthings Reviews! Thank you for taking the time to add your AG historical items here. If you are a guest to this section, you are welcome to read the reviews. But in order to control spam comments, guests cannot post comments or do reviews until they become forum members.

Generally speaking, we'd like to see a review cover the following:

• description of the item (color, fabric, materials, fit)
  
• durability
  
• playability
  
• value for the money (either AG or the going eBay rate)

If you feel those points have been covered in the existing reviews and just want to add a photo, that is fine, too. We love photos that allow us to see the changes and versions of a product over time.

Also, please feel free to speak to the historical accuracy of the item you are reviewing.

While you do not have to own every item that you review, we ask that you only post reviews for items that you have in-person familiarity with, as opposed sharing your opinions based solely on photos.

There are some very simple rules to follow when posting your reviews:

• Only 1 item review per thread, as packaged by AG. For example, Josefina's Riding outfit in one thread, her boots in another.
  
  
• Give the item a letter grade.
  
  
• Include the official name of the item in the subject line if you are starting a thread. Mods will edit your thread title to reflect the official name if needed, or if the status of an item changes due to retirement or archiving.
  
  
• Include a picture if you can. Member photos are often more detailed than the official AG ones, so we always appreciate good quality photos!
  
  
• There is no limit on the number of pictures in this section because there can be so many details that someone reading a review would like to see in a photo. However, we do ask that your photo be no wider than 650 pixels.
  
  
• Please limit your photo scene to focus on the item you are reviewing in that thread. Extraneous, off-topic photos will be deleted or cropped by the moderators.
  
  
• Substantive questions or commentary about an item are welcome but please DO NOT post general comments like "I have this!" or "How pretty!" or "I like this so much!" or "This is next on my wishlist." or "Thanks for the review." The Reviews sections are meant for easily referenced reviews only, NOT general chat (however well-intentioned). The mods reserve the right to delete off topic comments without warning (since you have been warned here).
  
  If you like or loathe something, feel free to use this space to tell us WHY...in detail, with charts and graphs, if you have the time. But please, no drive-by commentary.

If you want to request a review of an item not found here, please do so in the Main Forum. Lastly, please feel free to contact one of the Moderators listed in this section if you have any questions.

Thanks again for sharing your collection here!
