Please note that my set is almost entirely incomplete. It was a gift from a friend who got it as a handmedown from her sister, the original owner.
I have the crutches and cast only.
Cast: Adorable! It has a felt-like white lining, and swings open in the front. It is kind of loose on my Mattel dolls' feet, even with socks on. It is signed by several purpoted 'friends of your doll'--the names include both Elizabeth and Emily (British BFFs? Weird.) Still, they have different handwritings and doodles so that it looks fairly realisitic and very cute.
It swings open and snaps shut. It is a little hard to stand a doll up in unless she has a thicksoled shoe on the other foot.
Crutches: I'm not sure what material they are but they are fairly heavy. It's pretty hard to prop up a doll when she's wearing them unless she's leaning on something, but if you are using them for play they are awesome. Mine have slight discolouring on the rubber bits; I haven't tried to clean it yet.
The set description from AGPT main site:
Après-Ski Gear
If your American Girl hits the slopes too hard, come to her rescue with a cast and crutches. Keep her entertained with a fun spinning toy, paper doll, and tic-tac-toe game. Since she can’t get up easily, keep her drink carrier handy for that cocoa!
GWAA
Official price: $18
Price I got it for: $0 because my friend rocks!
Rating: A+ at full price, A++++++ for free/under retail
