Kate here. I discovered this morning that AG has made a whole new "line" of doll stuff. What used to be "JLYs" are now "MAG"-- My American Girl.
Included in this new line are tons of new earrings, glasses, furniture (a sink at least), dental sets (see picture), and "themed" outfits- hobbies, everyday, sleep & style, special days, etc. And also everything says "Innerstar U!!" Since we spend enough time on the computer already, we won't be participating in AG's newest Computer-game craze. Also, prices have gone up!! Most of the outfits are $30, as opposed to $24 or $28. Not a trend I'm crazy about. Of course, it could be due to this "charm" thing-one comes with each outfit. I'm also not a big fan of the new JLY- excuse me, MAG- "Uniform." It looks like pajamas. The only new thing that I like is Lanie's Owly Nature outfit. I want it so I can show my Owl City fan-ness. :)
Sorry for being incredibly depressing and being totally against all change and progress in American Girl stuff!! :)
Love,
Kate
I agree about Innerstar U. Plus...sorry, but if anything, I'm getting a historical.
ReplyDeleteAnd I really really don't like the new 'meet outfit'. PAJAMA TIME!!!
anyway.
Ha .. PJ's is exactly what we thought of too .. this whole new thing is stupid I agree. They start this whole thing with Lanie this year about getting outside doing things and then start a new online world for kids to be indoors on the computer with.
ReplyDeleteWe are hoping for a new historical later in the year, but otherwise .. nothing new for us .. at least unless they come out with more Lanie good things.
Scary for sure.

ReplyDeleteKelsyee, I know, what's up with the whole outdoor thing and now this? Gabrielle, totally agree, Historical if anything for us too. Not to say I don't like any of the new stuff. Just the headgear and InnerstarU ;D
ReplyDeleteYep. I think AG is going a bit too commercial, and the idea of Innerstar University confuses me. It's kind of like the Webkinz craze a few years ago, what with the online world. I do like a few of the new outfits (especially the pet show dress!) but you're right...they're much more expensive. I've got my eye on the chocolate glasses...
ReplyDelete--Kit :)
