Kit Doll - Mattel (retired)

Kit Kittredge is the perfect American girl doll for a young girl, she is easier to take care of because of her hair and her story is really quite moving especially when taken in context. I received my Kit in October of 2009 as a gift from my boyfriend (he got me both Kit and Ruthie simultaneously). I have to say I was surprised because I though he would assume it was childish to collect dolls, his reaction was quite the opposite he saw them as not only a good investment but encouraged me to further my collection because he could tell I loved these dolls. Needless to say Kit and Ruthie hold a very special place in my heart, because they were given as a gift from someone special and because I learned that collecting dolls as an adult and playing with dolls as a child truly are two separate entities (and yes we are still together).
Grade: A (I reserve the + for my absolute favorites)
