Most of you who are into American Girl dolls are probably already aware of this, but I just thought I'd mention that the new Girl of the Year, Grace Thomas, is officially up on the American Girl website. You can see her whole collection HERE.
I think she's a cutie, but as I'm running out of room for dolls, I don't think she'll be joining my doll family. I think she'd make a great sister for my mom's Chrissa doll, though. ;) I really like a lot of her outfits and accessories. Here are the things I would love to add to my collection:
Grace's City Outfit
(original image HERE)
This outfit is sweet and has great mix and match possibilities. I especially love the sweater. :) It's selling for $34, which is pretty typical for new AG outfits. A little more than I'd like to spend, but if we ended up at an AG Place this year, I wouldn't mind getting this as a souvenir. ;)
Grace's Travel Coat

I really love the color and style of this coat. It's $28, and the coat is all you get (the boots pictured are her meet boots). Again, a little more than I'd like to spend, but super cute. :)
Grace's Travel Set

This set has so many fun details, and I really like the color scheme of everything. I think I'd have a hard time spending the $44 on this set when I could get a pretty nice Our Generation Travel set (of comparable quality) for half that cost. I can dream though, right? ;)
And speaking of dreaming, if I had the funds AND the space, these two things would be pretty cool:
Grace's Pastry Cart

Check out all the amazing detail and all of the cute goodies on this thing! My daughters and I would have loads of fun setting this up and playing. ;) It's $150, though, which is a bit out of our price range at the moment. Plus, I'm not sure where we'd put it. Apparently a lot of people really like this set, because it's already on backorder!
Grace's French Bakery
(original image HERE)
And while we're dreaming, I might as well share a picture of this incredible bakery. This thing is HUGE and has over 60 accessories. I have no clue where we would put it, but it would sure be fun. ;) This one retails for $500. Again, not really in our price range at the moment. ;)
What are your favorite releases from Grace's collection? Will Grace or any of her things be joining your doll families?
It said somewhere that she is 9 years old, but she looks like barbie in Paris.
ReplyDeleteOr at least 13 years old, not 9.
I must admit, I was pretty uninterested in Grace when I first saw the stills of her from Good Morning America yesterday. However, some of her clothing and accessories ARE super cute, especially that bakery....(drool). ;-) Yeah, I don't think I'll be getting the bakery either. In any event, she certainly is much cuter than I expected her to be (although there again AG hasn't ever released a doll that I didn't find cute), but I don't know if I'm willing to dish out the $115-136 necessary to get her. Especially since I said I wasn't going to buy any more stuff from AG after the HCs became BeForever. BUT, if they release a 1950s girl, that resolve will probably be gone. ;-) We'll have to see if Miss Grace decides to steal my heart or not. I'd actually like to see her in person before I decided to get her or not....but that might not happen.

I think Grace is adorable. I can't wait to get to the store and see her in person. I can't afford her right now though, I would have to wait and see if I can get her on sale. I think the Our Generation travel set is really great and would be a perfect substitute for the AG one. I also have the snack stand from Walmart which Grace can sell her pastries from. lol Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteI really like her, and her collection! Everything is so cute and looks really well made. I'm so excited for her!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!:)
I'm going to save up for Grace + welcome gifts (aka accessories). I'm really excited! I think she's the prettiest of all the gotys besides marisol.
ReplyDeleteMy niece loves Grace and has been bugging me to buy the doll for her. I think she's pretty cute too. I might have to buy her for myself too!
