Jess’s PJ’s for Dolls
$20 GYON
Grade: B

I really like these and they are a wonderful fresh and lively colour. I love how soft and ruffled the top is finished like. The straps and edging are all done with elastic lace. Very nice for fitting it to her or an other doll just the way you want it to.



The slippers are so soft and fuzzy. They have a small flower and jeweled detail. They do come with an elastic strap but I have found the idea to be good and the implementation poor. The elastic is so tight that it shows her feet to far forward in the slipper so that her toes hang off the fronts.



Overall I like the PJ's but the slippers weak points make me rate it a B.

I have no clue. I thought that the back was worse then this side. it is really LOW in my opinion. I will have to look at it again just because I may be a goober and may be doing it all wrong.

GYAB $20
Grade: A

Not much to this little set. It is nice with holigraphic silver stars. The board has a teather line that velcro's around her ankle.



The board also has a bag to store her board in. It features carry handles and a shoulderstrap that clips. The front bottom is mesh so that sand and water can drip out if she put's her board away wet. There is also a handy pocket to store some of her beach things.

It has been pretty typical that dolls bought at AGP have had the windows and dolls purchased over the web or catalog have been a closed box version.

Sugarplum Coat for Dolls
$20 GWOG
Grade: A

Made of wool in a rich deep purple this coat is wonderful! It's wonderfully finished inside and out. I love the super soft black faux fur trim to the sleeves and collar. That same trim is used on the hat and for the mittens. The coat actually has to use the knots to close as there are no snaps. I waited to snatch this one up from ebay for a reasonable price. I really like it and it could easily fit with Sam or Nellie wearing it.

Soccer Gear
$24 GSOD
Grade: A

I haven't seen any of the other soccer sets, but I really like this one. Sorry that this image looks a little washed out.



This set also comes with a soccer ball, bag, and towel.



The cleats are black with yellow and purple. There were black knee socks and shin pads with elastic underneath.



Overall the fabric doesn't seem to pull and wears well. I like the colours and think it really is a realistic looking set.

Starflower Outfit
$24 GSOM
Grade: A

I simply love this outfit. It has so many pieces and parts it is a wonderful one to have in any collection of AGoT dolls.



It comes with lilac tights that were about the same colour as the tights for the Go Anywhere outfit, but not quite the same. The outfit has a set of faux crocodile clogs with an elastic strap in the back to keep them secure.



The light-weight blouse is like a rayon. I don't know if it really is but it surely seems like it. It velcros closed in the front, and if not done just right the velcro will show. The sleeves come down with a ruffle bell at the end that has a small ribbon attached for decoration.



The teal wrap sweater is lovely. It is a great knit decorated with embroidery and beaded. It closes by the sweater snapping on the inside, then wrapped and tied closed. The small hair elastic is the light lilac and has two small purple star pony beads. A nice little touch.



I really like that the outfit can be changed a bit. Remove the ruffle that snaps into the bottom edge of the skirt. Then remove her sweater, and it is a different look all together.

My guess is that they didn't know what they were selling. The treat bag should go with something else. we have this outfit as well and I agree that the sweater is pretty big. She really ends up looking like a giant snow ball in the thing. But my daughter likes it so it stays around for now. Besides the headband makes a great sparkly halo for the holidays.

I tried this dress on my PM dolls and Lindsey and it made them look even more grey and sickly. The colour was a terrible mix with the older vinyl dolls.

Now that being said, it looked great on Kailey and many of my newer toned dolls. I was also a little disappointed int eh sandals. I kept feeling like something is missing to them.

Fancy flowers Outfit
$24 GEOG
Grade: A

LOVE LOVE LOVE this! It has all that a girl can love. Glimmer, sparkle, mix and match possibilities, clips, necklaces, bracelets! And a fabulous colour and print!

From the get go, the outfit is two pieces and it just soft and pretty. The top closes in the back with Velcro, the skirt also closes with a Velcro closure. The blue print skirt is just so soft and feminine. I love it! The top is sequined and has a ruffle down the front center.



The outfit also has some of those little details that little girls and collectors love. Jewelry! It has a small beaded bracelet and necklace that match.



Along with those you get 4 small blue pearlized hair clips.



But best yet are the shoes! LOVE these! They shimmer and are just too freaking pretty to pass up! They have the satin fabric shimmer and are trimmed with sequins.

Junior Bridesmaid Outfit
Released 2002
GPOW $26
Grade: A *****

This set is a two-piece taffeta dress in a very soft green. The bodice is decorated with applique flowers and beaded and embroidered. Under the skirt is a gathered edge of a pretty cream tulle.

The set also comes with a hair comb with white pearl decoration and flowers. Included is also a pearl necklace and a pair of patten leather cream t-strap shoes with beaded flowers.

Quite a lovely set that I LOVE using on all of the dolls. I like that is could be a bridesmaid dress but we use it far more for lovely springtime pictures.

Meet Emmy. She is my dear GT 19 doll with light brown hair and green eyes. I just love her. It is kind of like just knowing that she is there. Like a friend is home if you wanna talk. Just There.



Emmy is lovely with her Light Brown hair and cat like green eyes. She especially looks good in the woodland fairy costume. The green eyes just go so well with it. She looks pretty good in almost anything really.



We love here here. She is the big sister to all the other dolls. She was actually my first EVER AG purchase. Love her love her love her.

15. Follow these guidelines about posting images:

• A maximum signature of 650 pixels wide and 320 pixels tall is allowable. Any signatures beyond this size will be removed and/or a request sent to the member for alteration. Signatures with excessive animation that slows page loading and those with multiple separate images will also be removed.
  Beginning May 2012, if the mods have to make three requests to resize within a twelve month period, AND those requests are ignored, we may temporarily block a member's ability to modify their signature. The restriction will be lifted after three months.
  
  
• Avatar maximum size is 100x100 pixels. Do not rely on the forum to scale the avatar for you. The original image must be this size or it will be automatically rejected and you’ll be unable to modify your profile at all until you remove it.
  
  
• Photos posted to this forum should not exceed 650 pixels wide. Anything wider will distort the forum and is subject to removal of embedded IMG code by the Moderators.

16. Be smart about the Secondary Marketplace. AGPT does not impose purchasing and selling restrictions since the presumption is that members are responsible individuals capable of using common sense to make sound decisions, but we have buying and selling GUIDELINES that you should read and heed.

17. Do not identify a live eBay auction anywhere on AGPT; no hyperlinks, auction numbers or titles, seller names, or item descriptions (copied or paraphrased) are permitted. If we can find it based on what you posted, we will edit or remove posts or threads identifying live auctions. If you have a question about a live auction item, you may copy/paste the auction photo to a thread as allowed by fair use guidelines. Once an auction is completed, you can refer to it in any way that you wish. Posting BIN links is permitted since they are not subject to the same competitive restrictions. Combined BIN/live auction listings are allowed unless and until competitive bidding commences, at which point they are removed.

18. Contact the Mods first to get permission to post your announcements of non-AGPT-sponsored contests, give-aways and events on private blogs, other websites or personal venues. If permission has not been granted, your post will be removed. Permission to post about such events or contests does not indicate AGPT endorsement or affiliation unless otherwise indicated. We expect members to exercise their best judgment before entering or participating in any events or contests.

19. Trolling is not tolerated. Anyone coming on here to spread misinformation, disrupt threads to further a personal agenda, attack other members, start flame wars, or get their jollies by sockpuppeting, et cetera, will be banned.
