Beware storing a doll with this coat on. As with many dark AG clothing, it stains.

My ebay Felicity came today and I'm so very pleased with this beautiful doll. She is wearing her Rose Garden dress tagged Made in West Germany. Her hair is bright red- much redder than my daughter's previous Mattel Felicity and somewhat brighter than my previous PM Made in China version. The ends of her hair are dry and a bit frizzy but I'm confident that a SOAG treatment will take care of that. Her eyelashes are long and red. Her cloth body is chubber and her vinyl parts are squishy and a different texture than other PM and Mattel dolls like the one Natasha described above. Her neck stamp is in large crooked letters.
Grade: A

I just purchased this dress off ebay and it's much different than Goo described. It's tagged Made in China for Pleasant Company 1995. My initial impression was surprise because I didn't expect it to be so nice and well-made. The taffeta material is heavy and not thin at all. The differences between mine and Goo's dresses could be typical Mattel/Pre-Mattel. I'll get pictures of my Addy wearing it soon.

This style of sled, with its graceful curved runners, was created especially for girls. There’s even a bell for Addy to ring as she dashes through the snow.I purchased Addy's cutter sled with the $10 off any purchase over $30 code. It is a lovely sled with a beautiful design but it's not very well made. Mine arrived in two pieces. Fortunately for me, the wood didn't splinter when it broke so I was able to glue the pieces back together without any sign of damage. I haven't had any further problems with it, even with moving to a new home with the sled packed very carefully. Since it's so fragile I rate it a B+.

Released in 1993, retired in 2010.Addy needed a snuggly hand-knit “heartwarmer” to drape over her shoulders and tie around her waist, and matching hand-knit slippers to keep her toasty right down to her toes.ANO $18 Addy needed a snuggly hand-knit “heartwarmer” to drape over her shoulders and tie around her waist, and matching hand-knit slippers to keep her toasty right down to her toes.Addy's heartwarmer and slippers are necessary to keep her warm and cozy in the cold winters of Philadelphia. The heartwarmer slips over her shoulders and ties securely around her waist. Her slippers are just knit booties and simply adorable. This set is well-made. I've had mine for over a year and the yarn hasn't frayed or come undone. A+ With flash: Without flash: Close up of one slipper without flash:

Addy's nightgown is so soft and comfy! I love that the opened neck is wide enough to put the nightgown on by starting with her feet first rather than over her head. I have the same problem with the velcro snagging her hair. I have the Mattel version and the sticky velcro is still being used. I would give this outfit an A rather than an A+ because of the velcro.

Thanks to a very kind board member I was able to get this retired outfit for my Addy. It fits my Addy very well, but she is a chunky PM girl. Grade: A+

Nikki, did you have trouble with the boots not fitting right? My boots will only fit the late Mattel dolls. I've seen them on a Lindsey but they won't fit my Lindsey without a struggle.

I have this outfit and it is very pretty but the sandals are falling apart. Really, the leather is disintegrating. Maybe it's age but the outfit is perfect otherwise.

Reposted from member asg17 on another AGPT board: This by far is my favorite of the dance outfit and about my favorite outfit for the today line. It was an ebay buy. Its a very pretty dark red/pink kind of a raspberry color. The best part is no Velcro it snaps down the back. The Ballet slippers go on very easy no fuss. The top of the dress near the neck has row a roses in blue, light pink and red/pink, also on the skirt is a few of the roes as well. I don't think the new from AG had tight but I always use a pair of black tight with it. Very will made outfit so rich in color. This out an A+ Mod Edit to Remove Broken Image Links

A+ I have to give this wheelchair the highest rating because it is so realistic looking! It is made of blue metal and a sturdy black material (nylon?)for the seat. The two wheels move realistically and their are two levers that you can adjust to stop the wheels. There is even a little pocket on the side for a book or magazine! So cute!

These are really cute and come in purple, blue, and pink colors. I received mine as a free gift when I participated in a mystery auction. My DD's have had a lot of fun with them. They are a little tricky for a younger child to apply but I had no trouble giving Ria (classic face mold)and Shantelle (Addy face mold) braces. They are a little more difficult to fit in the Marisol/Elizabeth face mold so I used a cotton swab to secure the braces in their mouths. I would give these a B+.
Edited to add: After leaving the braces on my dolls for several weeks, they were easy to take off. They didn't leave a sticky residue, nor did they take any paint off the dolls' teeth.

My DD's have this bed and we're able to make it sleep 2 dolls laying on their backs. They are squished, though. LOL! We love everything about it. The little lights are especially cute. We bought the retired dream big bedding set on clearance. I would rate this an A+.

We purchased Marisol about a month after she first came out. She was perfect! I just recently discovered that our Elizabeth's face is thinner than our Marisol's so we must have one of the chubby cheeked Mari's. Her hair, skin, and eye color combination is absolutely gorgeous. She's one of the prettiest AG dolls I've ever seen. Her hair has the shorter pieces all throughout her wig, making it easier to style in an updo or just about any hairstyle. It's wavy so it keeps a curl well and isn't prone to flyaways and it's just the right length so it doesn't knot up badly like Josefina's. I rate her a A+!!

A+ What can I say about Kailey? First off, I absolutely adore her to pieces! She has a beautiful peachy complexion and very good face coloring. Her hair is blond with highlights and styled with a straight blunt cut in the back and 2 braids in front. I took the braids out of mine and have yet to accomplish rebraiding them the exact same way as when they were new. Her hair is silky and a bit thin- I think this is meant to help it lay smooth. Because it's so thin you can't style it in as many ways without her wig cap showing. But to me she is the most beautiful doll ever made. Who can resist her soulful brown eyes?

I love my Lindsey, too. She has such a sweet face with her clear blue eyes and cute little freckles. I have to admit that I wish AG would have given her a better skintone and hair that doesn't get dry and coarse over time. I'm grateful that I know how to restore doll hair but if I were a child I would be heartbroken to see my "keepsake" dolly with ruined hair.

CLOF $24 Grade: A+ We bought 2 of these using the stars that my daughter earned and it was worth every one of them. The outfit as a whole fits both the Mattel and PM dolls well. The red tshirt is roomy and long enough to cover the doll's cloth torso and the shorts have an elastic waist with enough stretch to accommadate even the chunkiest PM doll. The shoes are slip-on sneakers and too cute for words. The hat is a bucket style hat and reversable. I like that this outfit has a lot of mix and match potential. All in all one of our favorite basic summer outfits. DD wanted to share the picture she took of her Marisol wearing this outfit.

Something I noticed about this doll that has not yet been mentioned. Her hair is cut asymmetrically. It's noticeably longer in the front than in the back. I almost sent my doll back until someone told me it's supposed to be this way. Other than the weird haircut, this doll is the most beautiful doll I've ever seen. I won't grade her less than an A+. It's not her fault no one told me about her hair- lol.

I bought this dress only because my 5 year old wanted it for her Samantha. Judging by the online picture and in the catalogs I always thought it was gaudy and the material looked cheap. Not so. I was impressed when I first saw it in person. The material is thick and satiny and the little hat and bouquet are so cute. I would give this one an A.

My friend has this from the early 90's and it's falling apart. The leather-look part at the top and the handle is coming apart at the seams. I don't know how hard her daughter played with it but it was only for a few years. It's been in storage ever since.

These boots don't fit the early edition Addy dolls, which is just as well since I don't really care for the quality of them. They have a more plasticy(cheap) feel than the boots that came with the first Addy's.

Addy's Ironstone Compote Set ABAC $54
This set is darling! It includes two sets of each of these: ironstone compotes, lavender tumblers, spoons, forks, linen napkins, and napkin rings. It also comes with a copper pitcher and three crocheted doilies. These are very realistic looking and nothing is plastic. I rate these an A+.

Associated with Happy Birthday, Addy! Released in 1994, retired in 2007. Some pieces (flowers, pie plate, pie server, and modified pie) were later incorporated into Addy's Ice Cream Set.
Addy couldn’t believe her eyes when she saw the party that awaited her at the boarding house. A big bouquet of beautiful flowers bloomed from a glass milk bottle. A pie plate was heaped high with yummy cherry pie crisscrossed with a lattice crust. Use the pie server to help Addy to and extra-large slice, and add a big scoop of Poppa’s homemade ice cream. A patriotic banner of freedom and paper lantern are the perfect mementos of Addy’s almost-perfect day!
Addy's Party Treats ABAP $29
I received mine today and much to my surprise they came in a PM box! The box was white and had a removable band around it with Samantha, Kirsten, Molly, Felicity, and Addy pictured on it. This set is too cute. It comes with a cherry pie that has two slices cut out of it, two scoops of ice cream, milk bottle, flowers, and a pie server. Everything is glass, ceramic, or metal except for the banner of freedom and paper lantern. No fake plasticy things in this set. I give it an A+.

Released in 1993, in 2011 was combined with Addy's Family Album Quilt and sold as a set. The set retired in 2015 and was replaced.with Bed & Bedding II (BeForever version). When Addy and her family moved to the boarding house, Addy had a bed of her own for the first time. It has a plump pillow and a comfy muslin mattress that rests on ropes instead of springs. The bed’s authentic “fly-speckled” finish gives it a charming antiqued look.Addy's Rope Bed AB $48 This is one of my favorite beds for the historical dolls. Made of wood with a fly-speckled finish and real ropes to hold the mattress. It requires minimal assembly and is more lightweight than I expected in comparison to the trunk and the lazy susan table and chairs. Very nice set. A+

My early PM Addy is also my chubbiest doll. I haven't had any issues with her clothing yet unless I use her undies set with the petticoat and hoop so my Addy is usually hoop-free.
