[dragonflybg]

From the AG Website:
Whether her doll earned bronze, silver, or gold, they’ll be proud to represent the USA with this set that includes medals made of real metal. It features:

A zip-front red, white, and blue nylon jacket with Team USA graphics
A gold medal on a red, white, and blue ribbon for first place
A silver medal on a red, white, and blue ribbon for second place
A bronze medal on a red, white, and blue ribbon for third place
A U.S. flag a doll can hold up proudly or drape over her shoulders using the attached thumb rings
A booklet with tips on how to properly care for a flag

SKU#: GMN88

$35


Medals: These are fantastic! They are made of metal and feel very solid. The bands are a red white and blue grosgrain ribbon and the velcro at the back with the less snag type of velcro.

Flag:  I really like this too.  It feels like a windbreaker nylon material and the stars are actually embroidered on!  Each stripe is a separate strip of fabric that is sew together to make the flag.  The corners have small elastic loops so a doll can hold it.  There is a fairly small white AG tag sewn on the back of the flag.

Jacket:  This is made out of a light weight nylon material that is pretty thin.  The zipper pull is metal and some other parts of the zipper are plastic.  There is elastic in the cuffs of both sleeves.  The back of the jacket has a large Team USA logo and the front has an American flag (not enough stars though!) and the Olympic rings.

Booklet: I forgot to take a picture.  They are calling this a booklet, but it is really just a tri-fold square of shiny stiff paper.  It includes tips about caring for a flag. 

Overall I am pleased with this set.  I like that the jacket works with any of the other Team USA outfits, but the medals and flags steal the show in this set.

I finally got this set once AG started to literally give them away. (Honestly the $35 price was a bit too high)
But the set was reviewed by my non doll, military expert, and he was quite impressed with this set.
The flag was decent sized; constructed with a parachute fabric and individually sewn stripes and stars.

The jacket is made of similar fabric, with a plastic zipper. I wish they had used metal. The plastic really feels like a cheap cop out.

The booklet is laminated card stock and folded into thirds. The flag facts were very interesting for the age market. My other reviewer liked it too. He kinda wished they had talked about the "combat" position where the stars are on the left. I'll post a link he sent me.

Overall the set is great set! I'm glad I was lucky enough to get one. I recommend it if you get one. The set has great options outside of Olympics so it's worth having.

I hope I can acquire a second set so I can fold the flag for Molly's dad.

I got this with rewards when it was on sale for $11. The metals are okay, nothing special although they are metal. The jacket is lightweight.

Now the flag is what I really wanted from the set. The stars are all embroidered, and I was very impressed by that.

I ended up giving away all except the flag which I will use in 4th of July display even though the number of stars isn't historical accurate for any of my doll's eras.

I only got this because it was at Tuesday Morning and was $12.99. I do like the quality of the flag and that the medals are made of metal. I don't care for the jacket. The design seems fragile and like it could come off easily.
