Grade: B-
When JLY/AGT12 was released in 1995, she was quite unique with her blond hair and brown eyes. However, over the last 12 years, several other dolls with blond hair and brown eyes have been released, namely: Kailey, GT24 and Julie.
JLY/AGT12 has the same wig as GT3 and GT20. It’s a tad darker than Kailey’s and a tad lighter than GT24’s. Over the years, I’ve owned 2 pre-Mattel AGT12s (1996 and 1998) and both have had hair issues. Although their hair was/is thick, they shed a lot. Their hair also became dry and brittle quite quickly. I’ve never had that problem with other American Girl dolls. JLY/AGT12 has pretty brown pinwheel eyes. They’re lighter than some American Girl brown eyes and darker than others.
Perhaps it’s because I’ve never bonded with my AGT12s or that I’ve been frustrated by their hair problems, but JLY/AGT12 is one of my least favorite Today Dolls. Therefore, I’d recommend her with some reservations. I prefer other dolls with blond hair and brown eyes. I actually ended up trading one of my AGT12s for a Kailey in 2004.
