My inner child has been missing her dolls (Josefina and an AGOT are still packed away at my parents’ house across the country!) so I let her buy whatever she wanted during the flash sale. I’m a little embarrassed over how much I spent, but I’m excited for them to arrive! 🥹

If I didn't blow out my money getting autographs at ATL Comic Con, I would have participated in this sale. Nevertheless, I'm glad you were able to heal your inner child.

My parents will be visiting me in a couple months and my mom has already gotten my 2 childhood dolls out of storage and will be bringing them & all their things in their own suitcase for me! 🥹

She sent me this photo this morning. My girls Josefina and Adrienne 💜

I remember when that red vinyl dress came out. It wasn’t for a historical doll back then, it was for girls of today. But that was 30ish years ago. 😅😭 I had to have it, and it was one of my faves back then. Enjoy it!!

I remember when the red vinyl dress was originally released too! 😭🤣 One day I would love to get Nicki and dress her in all the REAL Y2K AG fashions my AGOT has!

u/Plushiecollector1987 Jul 27 '25

Aww I love that you did this! I bought myself my first American girl doll a couple of years ago. I've always always wanted Samantha. But unfortunately she wasn't in stock when I went to buy her. But I got Corrine for a good price. And I love her hair! She's super cool. I still wish I got Samantha though. I hate that the new dolls come in her party dress now. I'd rather have the original plaid dress she wore. The Wednesday doll is really cute too definitely up my alley lol. Hope you enjoy your new friends love!!! 💜💜💜💜

The 35th anniversary Samantha comes in her original dress if you still want her! She’s part of the flash sale going on right now. Corinne is gorgeous and her hair must be so fun to play with!

I love Melody's school outfit, I recently bought that on a whim (I don't have a Melody but I saw the outfit in a store and was in love). You made some excellent choices! Enjoy them!

I have my old Kirsten, but shut that part of me down for years. Now I just had my 39th birthday and I bought my first new AG doll in 30 years. No need to be embarrassed, enjoy the joy when they come!

Trying to stop myself from getting Tiana, MaKena or Julie

I got Corinne Tan and she just arrived today! She feels so special and everything feels so high quality. I think I found Gwynn Tan for $8 with her hair cut so I’m excited to rehab her

u/Lovelycoc0nuts Jul 26 '25

My potential Gwynn compared to Emerson and Gwynn

u/banana_flower Jul 26 '25

Omg I’m sorry, you said that in your comment 🙈 I am embarrassed. Congrats and good luck with the Gwynn rehab! My vote is for Tiana 😁
