* The BeForever Edition of Molly was sold only at Costco in 2018, and was available briefly online (but not in stores) in 2019. This is the only release of Molly in which she does not wear her classic meet outfit. Her BeForever meet outfit is also reviewed in this thread. (A Mini Molly doll wearing this version of her meet outfit continues to be sold through American Girl, after the full-size Molly rerelease.) *
My Molly just arrived - gorgeous, in my opinion! (I believe she's got bad eyes, but that's not something I'm too concerned with unless it looks really terrible.) I thought the skirt was going to be attached to a white undershirt for some reason, so it was a welcome surprise to see it isn't, as I LOVE plaid skirts. I immediately switched out the clunky plastic glasses for an old pair of black and gold round metal glasses (PC era, I believe). They suit her so much better! (I also have an old tortoiseshell pair, but the lenses have gone slightly yellow, which didn't look so good on Molly.)
So excited to finally have a childhood dream realized! Next to Felicity (who I bought when she was first being retired), Molly was my second-most-wanted historical as a kid. My mother also has mentioned that my grandmother, having grown up in Molly's era, loved the look of the doll & her outfits. I feel like now that I have her, I feel justified in checking online for the many retired Molly outfits I loved looking at when I was younger.
(Gosh I hope the images work!! I've never inserted any on this site before.)
