I purchased my Willa at AG Nashville on June 23rd 2016. She is very special to me as her release and purchase was made on my birthday!! She is my favorite of all the WW. The only problem I have with Willa is thr back of her hair. Another board member described the messy back as if she had had her hair cut by an angry ferret. Since she is such a nature lover this may be true. I am scared to take her hair down. It is easily brush able if you take care to brush the locks around your finger to maintain the curl Her meet outfit is happy hedgehog themed. She comes with a skirt, shirt, wellies, bunny headband. The outfit is darling but the bunny headband does slide off her head kind of easy. Because it's an around the head elastic it doesn't fall off thanks to her pigtails

How is her overall quality is the vinyl the same quality as regular ag dolls. How are her eyes are they solid or do they look prone to chipping. I have seen pictures of the torso--the plastic of the torso is the extremely hard "Barbie" variety. WW's arms, legs and head are of a better quality matte vinyl as far as people have seen/said, but I am still unclear if it is the high quality matte vinyl of the 18" AG dolls.

The dolls torso is that shiny Barbie plastic and the rest of her body similar to the matte finished plastic used on the 18 in. AG dolls. I received Willa in the mail today. I do like her but I'm not convinced that the cost isn't a bit too high for these dolls. I did have to take her ponytails out when I got her because there was a loop of hair that hadn't been brushed properly into the ponytail. Her hair is a lot thicker than you would think from the pictures online. And I can't believe AG had to put one of their huge tags on her bunny ears.

If I can get this to work, a close up of her face, I did need to use a flash. mod edit to remove dead image link
I think her eyes are stunning, much better than the 18 in hazel. Her freckle pattern is adorable. Her hair was a bit messy out if the box, but it brushed and finger curled nicely and looks much better now.
The outfit is cute, but not my favorite. It seems pretty close to the 18 in quality. Easy on and off, but velcro on the shirt is the rough kind. Boots are darling and easy to put on for me, kids at the younger end may need help. I agree the tag on the headband ears is ridiculous. I could see it before I even took Willa out of the box, there isn't an easy way to hide it.

I received Willa today as a late birthday gift from my parents(My birthday was last Mon) and I have to say, She is adorable and has so much joy in her expression. I can picture her exploring the garden with her friends! I really love Willa's outfit especially her ladybug wellies which are perfect for rainy days like the one happening in my area today. Her hair is super soft, I think her pigtails really suit her. I don't know what other hairstyles can be done if any so she will probably stay in pigtails most of the time. One thing that I'm not fond of is the stiffness of her arms, they don't move as easy as the ones for the 18 inch dolls do. I've been collecting the 18 inch AG dolls since 2006 so I've gotten used to them being more flexible. Willa's size makes her perfect for car trips especially if you want to store her somewhere so that you don't have to carry her around all day, She also makes a good little sister to the full sized dolls. Lastly I really wish American Girl would not put such big tags on headbands, It looks odd when the doll is wearing it. I know you can cut it but you really shouldn't need too. Willa is a great doll! Ps. Can someone post pictures of Willa in as many different hairstyles as they can? Thanks.

My 5yo niece received Willa for her birthday. This is my first opportunity to actually feel a Wellie's hair. This Willa has the driest hair I have ever felt on any American Girl doll? Is this typical?

Is this typical? I actually have all the Wellies BUT Willa (will get her later however). My Wellies all have very nice, soft hair that I love playing with and styling Perhaps contact AG and see if you can get a replacement?

I never did a review for Willa! Younger niece, Miss O, purchased Willa last spring and Willa continues to be a favorite. The Wellie Wisher's size, fixed eyes and plastic body make her the ideal traveling companion. O's Willa has been to Disney World, on sleepovers, to Dad's house and my house. She went time traveling to a museum too. The outfit is not exactly appealing to an adult but the child loves it. She mixes and matches the shirt with other pieces in strange combinations. The pieces are small and easy to lose. Willa's face is utterly adorable and my favorite of the WW line. I love her sweet freckles and friendly expression. However, what on earth was AG thinking making a doll with curly hair for a 5-7 year old? O will be 8 in June and she can't manage Willa's hair on her own. I've combed/picked it and curled it around my fingers twice now and frequent outfit changes just make her hair messy. If I were AG, I would have gone with short, sleek bobs on these dolls! The plastic body could be better but O doesn't notice or mind. It makes Willa easier to play with than the 18" cloth bodies. I'd give Willa an A- for the target age in terms of playability but a solid A for an adult collector wanting a cheery companion. Willa makes a good big sister for mini Maryellen/little sister for Maryellen Willa loves dresses. Willa is ready for the pool at Disney World

I got Willa in July 2021. Been wanting a Wellie for awhile and after deciding against Emerson, waited for a good promo to get Willa. Fixed eyes, plastic body. Painted eyelashes. The body is what I consider the weaker feature having a rather "glorified" Barbie look. Otherwise very cute, hair is soft and nice quality, just like an 18" AG. She has the short hair in the back as she comes with pigtails. The wig is full enough, and not too thin. Her eyes are beautiful! No 18" AG has hazel eyes like this. I appreciate that they made the effort to create different Hazel eyes. Her hair is a beautiful highlighted strawberry blond. Happily more on the reddish tones then blond tones. Her outfit is adorable and well made. I like that they did a top and skirt which means they will be good for future mix and match. The little headband is cute and easy to put on and off. The rubber boots are easy to pull on/off. I took her with the pierced ears option and so she came with a little packet of cute earrings. Have used those with ease. Willa always looks like a shot of sunshine. Always happy and cheerful. Overall, I do think they are overpriced (especially now with the new "cheaper" looking outfit and increase on the price) But if you have a good promo or rewards and want to splurge, you won't regret these little cuties!
