The 40th Anniversary American Girls Collection
For the 40th Anniversary of American Girl, the company has done what they did just five years ago, with an updated twist: another set of Special Edition Anniversary dolls, using the original name for the Historical Characters, The American Girls Collection.
This time, it's of the first eight Historical Characters: Kaya'aton'my, Felicity Merriman, Kirsten Larson, Josefina Montoya, Addy Walker, Samantha Parkington, Kit Kittredge, and Molly McIntire.
The doll bundles are intended to evoke the older styles of the characters at their original releases, with boxes that resemble older packaging from the early years of the collection modified with visibility window and logo image on front. A bundle includes the doll in the first released--"Classic"--versions of their Meet Outfits and the first styles of meet accessories.
Felicity and Samantha both come with keepsake guides (Samantha already did) that detail items and stories in their collections, while all other characters come with their Meet Books in the oldest version that was released-- the first edition parchment style for Addy, Kirsten, Josefina, and Molly; and the second edition faded background style for Kaya and Kit.
Total cost for a collection is $175. The dolls are available for preorder and will ship by May 1st.
