Revised version (plastic)
I got the guitar on sale and so paid $8 for it. I think it is a very cute piece for $8. In my opinion, it is not worth regular price. It is plastic and looks very much like plastic, which to me says cheap.
Regardless of what one personally considers as cheap looking, plastic is cheaper to buy and manufacture. I'm not saying that the wood one is superior (I have never seen it), just that this one is not worth full price. $8 on the other hand seems just about right.
I think had I paid more than $8 for the guitar I would have returned it and ordered something different.

I really enjoy this outfit. I love the color choices and the shorts fit my doll even if she has her undies on. The skateboard is a cute accessory, but I haven't used it much and I think I would have rather paid less and not received a skateboard. The book, in my opinion, is worthless (however, I have never been a big fan of these little books that come with the outfits). I was surprised to find coordinating elastics (bright pink) and really have had fun with these. Overall, I would highly recommend this outfit.

I also loved this outfit. My favorite part is the jacket. It's made out of a nice thick material and has cute piping details. The only part I would change is that the sandals can fall off pretty easily, I would have loved it if they had done something similar to Jess's sandals with them. Overall I also give this outfit an A+

I agree about the shoes, and I think I would have enjoyed it just a bit longer. Overall I give this a B.

So cute! I love the board that comes with this one. It even comes with some stickers so you can detail the board yourself if you desire. A+

This outfit was released in 2005 and retired in 2008.
Even in the warmth of a Williamsburg summer, Elizabeth stays cool in a satin gown with a quilted mock petticoat peeking out from under her skirt. Tie her satin-covered hat underneath her ponytail, and then help her step into her heeled slippers for an afternoon stroll in the colonial countryside.
I really ended up loving the color of this dress, it's a nice pastel green which looks great with the soft pink. The hat is my favorite part and is just adorable, and very well made. My biggest problem with this dress is the material used for that lovely green color. It's seems under par in the quality department and pretty much just feels cheap to me. Now I'm no expert on fabric, but that's just my take so here's the score. For design I give this an A, but for quality of the dress I would only give it a B-.

I just recieved this today and am so pleased. The mittens fit better than I would have thought possible on a doll. Everything is just CUTE! I do wish there was not velcro on the vest or the sweater shirt, but besides that I'm very satisfied.

I was disappointed in the Mattel Asian Bitty's lip paint. It didn't encompass the top lip and made her look a bit like a geisha, which I didn't care for. I do LOVE my PM Bitty Asian, she also has a much rounder face and soft eyelashes. Here is the PM Asian Bitty baby Mattel Asian bitty baby's lips. notice how the top lip is cut a little short. I did have them send another out and she was the same

Sooo cute! I feel in love with this when I saw it on the website. The socks are darling and Bitty is so cosy in the little sack. My only issue is the hat, it's really cute, but extreamly tight! I had to really work to get it on, and when I called CS about it, the doll in their display area couldn't even fit in it! They said the hat just set on top. Even so I just have to give this an A because it really is one of my favorites!

Version I
I love the tin that this lunch came in. I never planned on buying this set, but when I saw it in person I had to have it. I do like the old food that is a little less plasticy better, and my cookie is a little bit green, but nothing has gotten sticky yet (still crossing fingers) and the Autumn napkin is just adorable. Overall I give this an A!

I just recieved this dress as a gift and I love it! The fabric is even prettier in person and the piping is so sweet. I also really enjoy that there is no velcro whatsoever. I give this one an A+! I don't have problems with it being to loose on my Jess, maybe they have fixed the problem.

I also give this set an A+. I was thrilled that they put snaps and buttons on the sweater instead of velcro. I'm sure this has saved many a snagged sweater. I love everything about this outfit!

I have a PM version of this from when I was a girl and it's beautiful. I love that it's fully lined and the trim around the hand holes and on the collar are lovely. I really like the fabric and it's held up perfectly over the years! Overall A+!

I had this outfit as a child, but it didn't fare the best so I bought a replacement from AG and was disappointed at how short the sleeves seemed. I ended up returning it, but was disappointed because I really do love the style.

I just recieved this and LOVE it! It's bigger than I thought it would be. Mine looks a bit different from the one pictured above, because my brass button type pieces don't go all the way through. This is becoming my Anne of Green Gables bag! I give it an A, for complete satisfaction!

I think this dress is so cute, though it's not my favorite one on Addy, for some reason I don't like the color as much as some of her other dresses on her, but the dress itself is lovely. Overall I give this dress an A+.

I really like this dress, though I also am not a fan of the headband. I do wish that the green on the cuffs and the checkered fabrics were swapped, I just love that green. Overall I give this an A-.

Released in 2006 for $24, retired in 2007.
Josefina’s aunt, Tía Magdalena, teaches her to use herbs for healing. When it’s time for Josefina to explore the hills near her home, wrap her rebozo, or shawl, around her head to protect her from the wind and sun. Place an herb bunch into her gathering basket, and pretend to grind the aster with the metal mortar and pestle to make medicine. Includes a bird flute necklace.
I just recieved this as an exchange and am not disappointed. I love everything about it! The colors of the rebezo are so much brighter than her meet one and it's a thicker fabric and seems larger all around. The mortar and pestle are quite heavy and I'm happy to report are made of real metal. The faux flowers are darling and are tied with a coordinating ribbon. Lastly the basket is just the right size for carrying the flowers and looks so cute in Josefina's arms. I give this one an A, I'm very happy with it!

Released in 1997 for $40, combined with sheepskin & blanket in 2010 and priced at $70. Replaced with BeForever version in 2015. Sleigh Bed: A New Mexican interpretation of a European favorite! This fancy sleigh bed has a curvy head- and footboard, and a lovely sage-green finish. For added comfort, there’s a soft mattress, called a colchón, and an almuada, a puffy bolster pillow.Bed & Bedding: When night falls on the rancho, Josefina goes to bed and dreams about becoming a curandera, or healer, like Tía Magdelena, her godmother. Her beautiful bed set features: A solid wood bedframe with a distressed sage-green finish and a carved head and footboard. A soft mattress, called a colchon, and a plump pillow called an almohada, to ensure a good night's rest. A faux sheepskin for warmth on cool nights. A colorful, hand-loomed blanket with fringed edges tops off this traditional New Mexican sleigh bed. I love this bed! I didn't get the bedding, instead I made bedding of my own so I can't speak for that, but the bed itself is darling. I called CS to make sure it was hard wood and they assured me that it is. It has such cute little details and I didn't notice until it came that it has a different foot and head board. It was also very easy to assemble using only 4 screws and 4 washers. Overall I give this bed the highest marks for complete satisfaction! Shanna

I enjoy that the print on the skirt is acutally woven in as opposed to printed on. My only issue with this outfit is that the sleeves on the camisa on mine are a bit tight. Overall I give this outfit an A.

This is so cute, but I noticed that mine doesn't really seem to magnify anything though you can look through it. I also love the purple velvety pouch, and it seems to be very well made. It certainly has a weight to it, which I enjoy. I didn't know there was two extensions until today. Thanks AG goddess for the fully extended photo! I give this piece and A+.
