I didn't see a review of 76, so I'm posting this video review
Mine was one of the first for the second series of boy dolls, with the new "AG" logo meet outfit. While earlier runs had issues with "bad eyes" and thin fabric cloth torsos, this doll had very thick, slightly rough feeling fabric for his cloth torso, "good eyes" that didn't have visible posts showing. The limbs, like most current releases, have mold impressions of stars or asterisk along with L1 or other markings to denote right or left limbs.
He's worth the money, though I wasn't too fond of his wig, which, like Logan's has a permanently styled flip in the front. No matter how much I tried to push or force it down, it simply wouldn't change.
The new meet outfit is excellent, with stretch jeans, the same mold shoes as before but with a blue/light blue paint scheme, and a new, long sleeved "pullover" style shirt that has a hook and loop closure up the back. I'd certainly wear a shirt like that if it was in my size.

I was lucky enough to pick up a 76 for a local fellow collector today. I’d seen him in the Seattle store when it was open but never had the chance to really look at him in depth. It was fun to do so!
One thing I noticed was how beautiful his eyes are. I’d never seen the amber eye color before and it’s really striking. I really like it and wish AG would use it more often. It looks especially good on him with his vinyl tone and dark hair.
This doll is an older doll, I’m not sure which version, but I think he has good eyes and good body fabric. His flip has relaxed quite a bit and just with my hands I got it to lay a lot flatter than even when I picked him up. I suspect with time and patience his owner will be able to get it to lay flat. She may need to steam it or something. His hair is very soft and much softer than even my son’s TM 74 when he was brand new. It feels like my son’s Truly Me 75, which is a nice and soft. It’s a nice wig.
He has a lovely face and is really very handsome. I wish AG would have kept him around.
I’ll try and post pictures of him soon. If you have the chance to get him on the secondary market, snap him up. He’s definitely worth it. So far, I’ve been thoroughly impressed with all the boys I’ve seen— 74, 75, and now 76. They are all adorable and I’m so glad they were created!
