This set was released in 2014 under the BeForever branding and retired in 2017.Samantha's Bedtime Accessories $44 Samantha's album includes reproductions of New York and Paris postcards from the early 20th century, as well as art from her era. The music box really plays a pretty lullaby while she reads a book with her teddy bear at her side. I only have Samantha's original Wizard of Oz book from her Nighttime Necessities, so I'm very pleased at the return of her bedtime accessories. This set comes with a nice non jointed teddy bear, music box, Wizard of Oz book, and a scrapbook with postcards and Victorian scrap. I think it's a great value at $44 compared to other higher priced Beforever accessory sets. I'm including comparison pictures of both books. The new book is a brighter green, and its pages are white. I also took a comparison photo of Samantha's scrapbook and Rebecca's souvenir book. The postcards are different.

I have two of the dolls, Isabel and Leyla. I was impressed with the detailed clothes and engaging stories.

I paid full price for Argos, and he's my daughters' favorite pet. He's big and cuddly, and so cute. I'm very glad we purchased him back in Aug. during the launch. I tend to buy the animals, usually from B&N. I did find a couple of Coconuts at the thrift store once. Argos is the best imo.

This Halloween costume consists of a purple one piece suit with sheer sleeves, gold discs at the bodice, an attached bolero and satin pants with foil designs, brocade shoes with pointy toes and a purple ponytail holder. Includes a "Confident" round charm. It costs $30 which I think is a bit much for the few items you get. The material feels synthetic and cheap, but it looks nice. DD loves it and thinks it's a perfect Halloween costume. I got it because I live in Saudi Arabia and this was too perfect to pass up. ;D Overall A: It's a cool costume though you don't get much for your money.
Doesn't Kanani make a perfect genie? I found the dagger in Abu Dhabi, but wouldn't it be cool if it came with the costume?

I noticed that both Marie-Grace and Cécile's pantaloons are the same on the mini dolls. The 18" dolls have unique ones. Also, my Marie-Grace's hair arrived disheveled because of badly sewn braids. The hair on top sticks up, even after I tried combing it down. I give the doll a B+ because of the distracting hair and too large eye gleams (like CrazyQuilter's doll). Will add photos soon.

The dimensions of the desk are 15" length x 9" wide x 8 1/2 " height. Just want to chime in here and say I think it's one of the best pieces of furniture AG has made. It's beautiful and so unique. To me, it's worth every penny of the $85 price tag. I give it an A+.

I just got this set today, and the pencils now look and feel more plastic-y and less like wood. My camera couldn't quite capture it, but I'm a little disappointed. The rest of the set is nice, it's just a shame AG stopped using real wood.

My dd and her friends love the phonograph. I agree it's plasticy, but that's one of her favorite things. I don't worry about her or my younger DD breaking it. The songs don't get on my nerves when I've heard them 50 million times either.

How long is the telescope? I found a mini telescope and am wondering if it's to scale. Thanks!

I bought this bed for my DD's birthday. It's a sturdy bed that's easily put together. DD has gotten many hours of play out of this bed, and we are happy with the purchase. I was initially wary of the color, but like Chococat said, it's more of an antique pink than a pepto bismal pink.
