I saw it at the Atlanta store two days ago. I thought it was cute but not worth the money. Lanie's camper now seems like a bargain in comparison. It seemed too plastic-y to me.

I bought this outfit on sale this week and it arrived yesterday. The hat is dented in on the top part and I can't manipulate it back in place. They're small dents, not major, but it still bothers me.
The dress is also pretty wrinkled. I suspect it has been sitting in the box for a while but the box top doesn't even close all the way (proabbly the hat was smooshed over time).
I called CS this morning and they are sending out the hat as a replacement part. Hopefully this hat will arrive without the dents.

My daughter bought this with her own money along with Toasty. This is a really cute, nice set. She likes that a doll can bathe the pet by standing up. She also loves the rubber duckie with this set. The bath tub is a nice size and holds Toasty well. It has good play value. This set comes with a brush (that feels like a real brush), a nice, thick white towel with paw prints, pet shampoo bottle, a rubber duckie, the stand, and the tub.

My daughter bought Toasty with her own money. He's definitely cuter in person than in the catalog or on-line. He has a nice, soft tail and a cute little body. He has a big head, but not as big as it looks in some pictures, and he is simply just adorable.

My DD's Kanani is like this. It's very slight. It doesn't bug my DD that much. She does recognize it though.

Here's my adorable PM Molly. I love this doll. She has so much personality and spunk. She has thick, long hair, a huggable body, long lashes, and a nice, round face. Some Mattel clothes and shoes are tight on her but otherwise A+.

This is probably one of my favorite AG Molly outfits. It's so simple, classic, and sweet. I absolutely adore this on Molly. I think this is a must have Molly outfit from her collection. I was hesitant to buy it at first. It's not as striking as some of her other outfits (visually). Once I saw it in person though, I had to have it and I'm so glad that I did buy it. It's one of those outfits that when I think of Molly, I see her wearing this. It's just so Molly.

My DD picked this outfit out at the DC store and paid for it with her own money. This is high praise as she wasn't planning on getting this but loved it when she saw it in the store (she was also picky about what she spent her money on). The best part about this outfit without a doubt are the sandals - they're FABULOUS. This outfit overall is very nice and I recommend it. The headband I'm pretty sure is leather and wraps completey around (not those stick on type headbands). My DD commonly uses it as a belt with other outfits. The shoes are very strappy and have sequins on one of the straps (the center one). The dress has a nice feel and weight to it (not thin) and overall it's very flattering on dolls like Kanani, #55, etc.

We bought three of these t-shirts at the DC store. They were cute and worth the $10 when you consider the experience of picking it out and watching them iron on the decal to the shirt. My DD picked the "Beach Girl" one in pink, short-sleeved and it turned out to be perfect for Kanani. I picked out the "Stand Tall" one in white, short-sleeved and the "Be Yourself" butterfly one in pink, short sleeved. Both are perfect for Lanie. You have to buy the t-shirt first and then bring the tag with your receipt back to the t-shirt station for them to make the shirt. I could see where this could be a problem if there's a long wait (to choose the t-shirt, pay for the t-shirt, and then return to iron on the decal to the shirt). The store wasn't too crowded though so this was do-able for us and added to the whole store experience.

My DD bought #55 at the DC store. She was intending to get Rebecca but this doll stole her heart. This is one stunning doll. She is just so striking in person. She has a fantastic, long, thick wig and lovely eyes and hair color. My DD rates her an A+. She looks really cute with earrings and overall highly recommend.

Yes, I looked at my trunk again and the drawers are somewhat thick and feel like wood. It's hard for me to compare though because I never saw or felt the version prior to this one.

I received this trunk as well off backorder but I don't know what you mean by the drawers/inside being made of wood. I didn't notice that. Could you please post pictures? Mine also had the "new" smell - don't know if it was from the paint though but definitely has a smell to it. I do like the trunk. It holds a lot and like the looks of it.

This outfit is very flattering on Molly. The polka dot fabric though is a very light blue - lighter than I expected. I worry about the color of the fabric fading over time. The shoes were a bit of a struggle to get on my PM Molly's feet and the top was also a smidge bit tight on her but otherwise it's really adorable and definitely worth having. If I were to improve upon it, I would have sold it with hair ribbons and maybe had a different color choice (but still with polka dots) but otherwise it's great.

I won these off eBay for my DD. I think they run a little large. They're a little roomy on her. She's pretty petite though. She hardly wears them, unfortunately. I agree, they're not as soft as the doll pair but still nice.

I'm not that impressed with this outfit. I was hoping to be but I'm returning it. I have a PM Molly. As much as I like the skirt (nice and thick, lovely plaid), it's a little too short on her (at least for my taste for her). I don't like the sweater much at all. The quality just doesn't seem that great. It's thinner than I expected and I found the fit to be a little awkward. The shoes are adorable but I can't get them on my Molly's feet.

I just received Kit's Aviator Doll in my order. Although I think the doll is cute (and I want her very much for Kit), I'm very bothered by the fact that her arms stick out. Her arms stick straight out practically at her sides. Is this normal? She reminds me of a gorilla. I have Nina, Josefina's Doll and Felicity's first version of her doll (and briefly had Ida Bean), and none of these dolls have this issue. I filled out the form to return her but I'm hesistant because other than the arms, I do like her, but if her arms really are this way, then I don't think I want her.

Aaryana's review is pretty thorough and pretty much covers the pluses and minuses with this set. I was also hesitant to buy it (because of the food being stuck to the plate) but I'm glad that I did. I think this set is worth the $28. It's a unique set and everything is very cute and substantial. I recommend it, especially for modern collectors. I received this set today with my order and I like it better than I thought I would. The waffles are very detailed so I actually don't mind them as much being stuck to the plate like they are. The accessory pieces - i.e., syrup dispenser, smoothie, etc. - are very cute and the set as a whole I think is worth the $28. I think it will be perfect for my DD and her collection.

I received this outfit along with Kanani's Aloha Outfit in the same shipment and wow, it's like night and day. This outfit makes Kanani's Aloha Outfit look so cheap. I love everything about this outfit. I think it's worth every penny. I bought this outfit with Lanie in mind but I think she will share this one with Kanani. The shirt surprised me. I was expecting it to be like a t-shirt material and it's more like a blouse. The skirt is very vibrant with the striping and the shoes look like real shoes that were worn during that time period (they're very well made). I give this outfit an A+ and very highly recommend it.
ETA - This outfit looks really great on Kanani (better than I thought it would actually).

I have one word to say about Kanani - GORGEOUS. I was hesitant to buy her because she didn't have the brown eyes like I was hoping she would. What a mistake it would have been if I didn't buy her! I love this doll. Right out of the box love! This is high praise as I sold Ivy and Jess and was never a big Jess mold fan. She is seriously way cute though. She has beautiful coloring and her eyes are a good contrast against her skin tone. I love her Meet outfit and necklace and her hair is simply to die for (long, lush, and simply fantastic). She's an all around A+, amazingly beautiful doll. Very highly recommend.

I'm not impressed by this outfit at all so it's going to be returned. I'm bummed about that because I was expecting to really like this outfit. I think the t-shirt material is too thin. I don't like the color of the capri pants. I also don't like that the belt can't be removed from the pants. I even think the flip flops and sunglasses look cheap. The only thing I like about the outfit is the bracelet. It's definitely not worth the $28. Frankly, I don't think it's even worth $24 (which is the lowest price I believe you can get for an AG outfit). If I had seen this outfit in person or had read reviews prior to purchasing, I definitely wouldn't have bought it.

My DD bought #24 with her own money at the AG Store in Atlanta. This is my DD's review. She loves her pretty brown eyes. She also likes her wavy, long hair. She thinks she is one of the prettier My AG dolls. She likes how she kind of looks like her. She thinks you will love her just as much as she does.

My DD received #33 for Christmas and she's GORGEOUS. She reminds me a lot of Lanie. She has a very nice, thick wig with lots of curls and pretty blue eyes to complement her hair color. She's one of the prettier My AG dolls in my opinion. You won't be in the last disappointed by her. I think she may be better for an older child or collector. I could see her hair being more high maintenance than your average doll.

I just received this in the mail for my DD for Christmas. The red is a very lovely color of red. It's a different tone of red that you don't see very often. I think it's a very nice set and definitely worth the sale price. The fabric is soft and the T-shirt itself has good contrast between the red color and the white lettering and graphics. We had the green set but returned it (too small for DD) and frankly I like this one better. It will be interesting to see how the T-shirt looks on dolls that are different (i.e., Marisol) from Lanie.

My DD had it for a short period of time before she sold it. It's definitely a study piece and well worth the money if it's something your daughter wants. I would buy it for sure.

I bought this set for my DD for Christmas. She is into scouting too (is a Junior scout). This was on her wish list and if it wasn't, I wouldn't have bought it. I don't think it's that big of a deal but maybe she'll think it's the greatest. If your DD loves to play "camp", she'll probably get good play value out of it.
I would wait to see if it goes on sale. It is a little pricey at the retail price (I threw it in with my free shipping order).

I absolutely adore this piece for Lanie. I don't have the camper but this satisfied me enough. I think it's a must have from Lanie's collection. I agree with mom2princesspeas - it is durable and well made. I love the color and thickness of the green fabric too. This is just one of those items that puts a smile on my face. It's just so playful and fun. My kids love it too. I highly recommend it even if you don't have Lanie.

The reviews pretty much covered it but I just wanted to add that this is by far my favorite AG accessory item that we own. It is simply adorable. It's very well made and highly detailed. It's fun to play with but also fantastic for display. I think it's a must have even if you don't have Felicity or Elizabeth.

I bought this for my DD for Christmas. It's still in the box obviously but from what I saw of it, I was very impressed. It's a very solid, heavy piece. On one side, you have four shelves and on the other side (back or front depending) it's open with the hook for the doll. On the sides of the piece, there's a full length mirror and on the other side, there's three clothing hooks. It's pretty tall and I think it's worth the money. It reminds me of a bookcase - it doesn't swivel or anything. It's one of those items that you would have to plant in one place and keep it there. It's probably not the easiest for a child to move around.

I have a 1993 Made in China Addy that I won on eBay from the original owner. I don't know why I was hesitant on Addy. She's a beautiful doll. She's so much prettier in person than in catalog pictures. She's has a gorgeous skin tone and such an adorable face. I really love her "Meet" outfit too. It's very classic and simple. My Addy's hair is very textured, coarse, and kind of pouffy. I was intimidated by that at first but the more I play with it, the more fun it is. I'm so glad that I have her and I think her collection is one of the better ones. I highly recommend her.
ETA - I foolishly sold the original Addy that I wrote about above. I regretted it and ended up replacing her with another PM Addy right around the same age. This PM Addy though is in better condition than the first (almost like new). I couldn't imagine not having Addy in my collection. I think she's wonderful.

This is the dress that I think of when I think of Felicity. I just love this outfit! It looks fantastic on Felicity too. It's perfection - love the apron, the dress, the stockings, the hair band - pretty much everything. The reviews pretty much covered it but just wanted to say that I think this outfit is a real classic and a must have for Felicity.
