The 35th Anniversary Edition of Molly was sold for a limited time in 2021.
Molly was one of the first six dolls introduced by Pleasant Company, now American Girl.
Celebrating the 35th anniversary of her launch this special collection, includes:
A Molly doll that’s almost just like the original doll from 1986—she even has a neck string! She has long, wavy dark-brown hair with bangs, and gray eyes.
A navy-blue wool skirt that reaches her knees
A navy-blue knit sweater with a blue, red, and green argyle pattern on the front
A dickey with a white woven collar and rickrack trim that Molly wears under her sweater in place of a full shirt
A pair of white bloomers with an elastic waist
A pair of white ankle socks
A pair of black Mary Jane shoes
Two red hairbows that tie on the ends of her braids
A pair of round-frame silver metal glasses with a red felt glasses case
A navy blue felt beret
A shiny red purse with a shoulder strap
A woven white hankie with her name embroidered on it in red
A silver heart necklace
A reproduction steel penny in a paper envelope
A Meet Molly paperback book with the original book design
I can’t believe we don’t have a thread for her yet!
I bought the 35th anniversary Molly on her release date; I already had Sam and Addy and Josefina and Felicity, and have no interest in Kirsten, so Molly was the obvious choice.
(Plus I’ve had a soft spot for her stories since my grandmother bought them for me as a kid 💖)
For $150, I got Molly in a repro of her original meet, plus her accessories!
She does have the new face mold and the lighter lip paint especially, but I think she’s adorable!
While this is my first Molly, I’ve handled both PM and Mattel Mollys, so there are some subtle differences I noticed between her Mattel, PM, and 35th anniversary outfit and accessories:
Her sweater for the 35th anniversary Velcroes up the back
Her “locket” is now a silver heart-shaped pendant; it doesn’t open.
And the pieces of course follow the new tagging.
All in all though, she’s excellent quality, absolutely adorable, and probably the best AG impulse purchase I’ve made in ages!
Here she is with her friends:
