The Skateboarding Set (2014 - ) includes
A sporty jersey dress with a mock tee underneath, a star graphic, and a drop waist with ribbed trim
Stretchy jersey leggings
Two-tone high-top sneakers
A skateboard with wheels that really roll and elastic straps to secure her feet
Decorative stickers to personalize her board
A rectangle "Brave" charm
Overall Grade: A+
The jersey dress has a drop waist and a darling mock cowl at the neckline.
The jersey leggings feature a star motif on the right leg.
The faux-leather is soft and flexible and the high-tops are lined with soft fabric. It took only minimal effort to slip these shoes onto the doll's feet.
The top side of the skateboard has a realistic rough texture for grip. The board has flexibility throughout the belly of the board and even is capable of tilting slightly side to side like a "real" skateboard.
The underneath reveals a fairly realistic "wheels and trucks" construction.
The AG designers added an elastic strap to use during play. This is a nice touch for active play, though it is quite possible to pose a doll without using the strap (see final picture).
If I had any one criticism, it would be that the set does not include a safety helmet. The only option in the store at the moment for a helmet is the "Skates & Gear" set, which consists of inline skates, guards, and a helmet. The helmet from that set does reasonably coordinate colorwise, but it is not an exact match to the Skateboarding Set.
Overall, the design, construction, and playability of the Skateboarding Set are all top notch: A+. The skateboard is very realistic and the outfit is a daring and new design.
