It appears that the CD racks from the desk are removable, based on this video from the AG page for the twins

For that matter, the denim doesn't match the color, weight, or thickness of the Truly Me denim jacket in the Feeling Artsy accessories.
Also, I like removing the plastic tags from the clothes, but when I did this, even though I cut the threads holding the tags to the overalls, not the denim material, there were still small frayed holes in the material where the threads tugged and pulled through the material. This tends to happen with chambray or denim shirting material as well due to the weave of the material.

This doll-sized wheelchair has a bright pink frame, a padded seat with an embroidered American Girl® logo, wheels that turn, adjustable footrests, and working handbrakes. Includes a colorful fabric bag with two front pockets that attaches to the back of the wheelchair.
The chair, once I got it out of the box, looked extremely familiar and I soon realized why- this uses a slightly modified mold from the Pleasant Company blue wheelchair. This is a great way to get that size and style chair, without the clumsy push-handles, and the inclusion of a padded seat and a carry bag on the back of the chair.
It fits dolls quite well, and there's plenty of photos online to show that off.
The chair has a plastic frame with metal hardware holding it together. It's extremely well made and certainly worth the full price, though I happened to get this particular one during a sale at the AGP Houston store closure.

Kavi’s PJs reflect her dreams of being a star on Broadway.
Includes:
A dark-blue short-sleeved PJ top with a rainbow star foil graphic across the center and dark-blue PJ pants featuring a multicolored foil star print Rainbow faux-fur slippers
The top and pants are soft, and feel like cotton, but are probably a blend fabric. I'd love to get a set of these in Omar size, too.
The slippers are very furry, furrier than her dog, Scamper however, the slippers do have a ginormous tag on the back of one slipper. Thankfully, it's just sewn in a loop around the elastic band that's meant to hold the slipper on the doll's foot, and the tag could easily be removed completely. Still, Kavi should be careful she doesn't trip on the tag when she's padding around the house at night
The pajama pants felt snug while trying to get them on Kavi. This is with Kavi's narrower torso (like the current TM dolls) and what feels like a slightly understuffed doll in particular) but they might loosen up with more playtime.
Also, I'm not sure if the navy blue fabric will leave stains on a doll's vinyl and cloth body, so I took them off her as soon as the review was done. I'm not saying that they will stain or won't stain. I just wanted to be a little bit careful for the time being.

Note, the leash is sewn into the dog's neck seam, just like Melody's dog, Bo (I have Bo, so I'm making that comparison)
The fur doesn't seem as curly as AG says it is, but Scamper is very very cute and very cuddly and I'm sure Kavi will love having Scamper around for moral support.
I didn't take photos of the dog bowl or food, but the food "hockey puck" is removable and cane be taken out and replaced back in the bowl. The food puck is textured to show detail

Brown Eyes, High-Top Curly Dark-Brown Hair, Deep Skin with Neutral Undertones (#30)
A Truly Me™ doll is a friend who knows just how to celebrate who your child is right now. A little artsy? 100% sporty? Someone who is simultaneously strong and wild and sweet? Mix and match to create an outfit of the day that expresses a vibe in exactly the right way.
The 18" Truly Me™ doll has lifelike eyes that open and close smoothly, realistic hair that can be styled, a soft cotton body, and a movable head and limbs made of smooth vinyl.
A heathered-gray T-shirt with printed graphics, camo-print shorts, a pair of briefs, and a pair of white high-top sneakers The All About Us journal
He's a very very cute boy doll, and uses the same mold as the now retired 76 doll. Here, the skintone is closer to Addy (similar or same to retired 77, too)
The underwear is the exact same underwear. If you have any TM boys, you have this set of boxer-briefs.
The t-shirt is a nice, medium weight heather knit. I'd wear it myself. I've tried it on older Mattel dolls and it fits fine.
The shorts are t-shirt material, similar weight, and look fine as lounge wear.
Thankfully, the shoes are thin pleather with elastic laces. No more molded on sneakers for our boy dolls (or our girl dolls, either). While I don't care for the lavender laces, they look fine with the shoes and they're rather gender neutral.
A+ here for me. I would watch out for eyebrow and lip application, as well as wig placement. I had to go through a few dolls to find this guy right here.

I recently bought Bo at the MCM sale He's wonderful. He's about 7" long and 4" high He's very very cute, and very soft and cuddly. I learned that Historical pets are soft and cuddly, but Truly Me posable pets are hard and jointed with a fur covering.
One thing I realized- Bo's leash is sewn into his neck. I wanted to use it with another small stuffed toy dog, and realized that I couldn't. I had to actually cut several stitches in the back of Bo's neck, to release the collar/leash combination. But, I do love that the leash folds away into Bo's collar for storage. I'm sure a real puppy wouldn't let that tucked away leash stay put though

Corinne carries this backpack when she's hiking Ajax Mountain with Flurry and Cassidy so that she has everything she needs. It includes:
A bright-blue backpack with green webbing straps and a “High Altitude Life” patch A dark-blue baseball cap with an “Inspired Adventure” logo A pink-and-blue canteen with a strap A trail guide that her stepdad teaches Corinne how to read A pretend green apple for a mid-hike snack A faux granola bar
I didn't open the canteen, or the food items, but they're standard fare. I feel that we've seen all these molds in previous sets.
The trail guide is double side and full color, and includes information on hiking.
The backpack is small, barely larger than the backpack from the Cool & Casual accessories. It's got an elastic band inside and an exterior pocket that is covered by the straps and cover of the bag. The bag closes with two small plastic latches. The backpack is made out of a very lightweight nylon material. The scale and size of the bag, coupled with the material make it seem very cheap feeling, especially for the price

While the outfit is very well made, I find it incredibly tight on a doll.
Using Deke, a Logan/Tenney bodied doll, you can see how snug fitting the shirt is, especially from the back.
The boots didn't want to go on until I really stretched the elastic at the sides.
It's really, really well made and I like it a lot. I just wish it fit slightly looser.

Includes: Long sleeved red hoodie with hook and loop tape up the back and x-box logo controller screen printing on the front, black jeans with subdued lines along right knee, left thigh and shin, gray cloth sneakers with red tongue and white accent screen printing.
The outfit retails at $28 USD. It's slightly higher priced than similar outfits, but its very good and worth the money.
The hoodie fits well, but snug on even Mattel dolls. I usually put many modern Mattel AG tops on other brand fully vinyl dolls that are slimmer and have strung elbow and knee joints. The neck hole of the hoodie seems to be smaller, and I had to really push to get it on. It's another reason I don't always dress dolls in hoodie tops that "pull over"
The jeans fit very well on Mattel dolls and might be snug on PC dolls. They're made from a medium weight denim and don't seem to have much stretch to them. I personally like that in doll jeans (and human jeans)
The shoes also fit well and look good. They're a heather gray material with a red tongue and white elastic laces sewn in. They slip on and off a doll's feet and can be worn with or without socks that are not included.
The outfit is nice, gender neutral and works well for both girl dolls and boy dolls.

I didn't see a review of 76, so I'm posting this video review
Mine was one of the first for the second series of boy dolls, with the new "AG" logo meet outfit. While earlier runs had issues with "bad eyes" and thin fabric cloth torsos, this doll had very thick, slightly rough feeling fabric for his cloth torso, "good eyes" that didn't have visible posts showing. The limbs, like most current releases, have mold impressions of stars or asterisk along with L1 or other markings to denote right or left limbs.
He's worth the money, though I wasn't too fond of his wig, which, like Logan's has a permanently styled flip in the front. No matter how much I tried to push or force it down, it simply wouldn't change.
The new meet outfit is excellent, with stretch jeans, the same mold shoes as before but with a blue/light blue paint scheme, and a new, long sleeved "pullover" style shirt that has a hook and loop closure up the back. I'd certainly wear a shirt like that if it was in my size.

" Boy Twins are ready for fun in this comfy outfit:
A rainbow-plaid shirt with rolled-up sleeves and bright buttons Pull-on jeans with turned-up cuffs Loafer shoes with raw edges Includes The Bitty Twins Learn to Share book
$24"
I bought this set on Ebay, and it came without the shoes, but with the briefs.
Click image for a larger view
While dressing JD in it, I realized that the shirt sleeves and pant legs actually unroll. This outfit will fit an 18" AG doll. With the sleeves and legs unrolled, it still fits Bitty dolls quite well.
Here, we see it with socks that I already had and the hat from the 2006 meet outfit.
The "jeans" are actually knit pants and closer to sweatpants in feel and movement. They pair nicely with t-shirts, but I don't like them with this plaid shirt. The shirt itself is very nice, with a real pocket, but faux buttons covering a long velcro strip up the front. The briefs are one piece, pull on design, with white elastic at the leg cuffs and waist. the "fly" is printed on and not functioning.

I started writing this review and almost put it in the Accessories section. Good thing I looked here first.
Mini Macintosh
Boot your American Girl’s Apple Macintosh computer with the flip of a switch. Use the keyboard to scroll through her field trip report about the planetarium. Scoot the mouse along the mousepad to add stars to the constellation on the screen.
$32 GSAC discontinued 1999
A very nice and highly detailed piece. The keys are labeled and the keyboard can actually be pressed (all the letter keys are actually one large key) and the mouse can be pressed or clicked as well. My version, bought from a member, did not come with a mousepad. In a pinch, a piece of paper or foam board can be used as a mousepad.
The on/off switch is located on the back of the monitor. I did not try to turn on the computer and because the battery compartment (located on the bottom of the CPU/Monitor) had a broken tab, I could not access the battery compartment. Still, even as a display piece, it looks great.
As others have mentioned about the size, I thought it seemed a bit small when I held it in my hands, and I felt it was small, even as a child's computer. I checked it against my 1:6 dolls and their hands fit perfectly on the keyboard for touch typing. I would say that this accessory was closer to 1:5 scale than truly 1:3 scale. it is still a wonderful piece and I'm really glad to have it.

I bought a pair of Kit's workboots; they came in yesterday via UPS, which I didn't even hear becuase they were still outside this morning. :
They're ok. They're dark brown thin pleather with rubber soles and NO AGOT logo! This will be good news for those who deslike the logo on historical items.
Honestly, I'm not thrilled with the boots at all. I'm sorry I paid $ plus shipping, for a total of about $13. They're not worth $13 IMVHO, but that's me. They look nice though, but I don't think they'd stand up much to rough play. -Omar
