American Girls For Sale

Our favorite mall to Angeleno-gawk, The Grove, is planning to open an American Girl® retail branch in 2006, just the 3rd in the country. And these ain’t your mothers’ dolls. “Molly McIntire® is a lively, lovable schemer and dreamer growing up in 1944. The world is at war, and she misses her father who is overseas caring for wounded soldiers … ” So begins the backstory of Molly, one of the 10 “characters” from the high-end doll phenomenon owned by Mattel. You see, the American Girl® characters come from a wide range of “American” experiences across the 200+ years of our nation. There’s Kaya, the Native American in 1764; Addy, the escaped slave in 1864; Kit, the Midwesterner in the Great Depression, among others. See, it’s progressive American history (accessories not included). Howard Zinn must have the whole set of these dollies. To further give each character a sense of era, there are all sorts of props that go with each.
So let’s have a look at the merch. $84 is the base price for any of the dolls. So you’re already in for a Benjamin just to get started with this stuff. And that’s so just the beginning. This is a whole culture you are buying into. Using at that “lively, lovable schemer and dreamer” Molly, as an example, let’s look at the add-ons. Of course you have to have Molly’s Beach Chair ($20), Molly’s 1944 swimsuit ($24), Molly’s camping equipment ($18), Molly’s Dude Ranch Outfit ($24). And if Molly gets tired of standing, there’s Molly’s Chrome Table and Chairs ($65). The best part is that there is an accompanying series of books for each character that chronicals the adventures of your doll for you. There are over 20 (!) “Molly” books alone (such page-turners as “Molly Learns a Lesson” and “Molly’s Surprise”). Why have your girls imagine their own adventures for their dolls when Mattel can write them out and sell them to you?
Can’t you just see the trophy wives and their spoiled brats lined up at The Grove now? While you’re there snarking on them, grab some enchiladas at Loteria Grill and hoist a pitcher to American history and capitalism. Mainly the latter.

Amanda……..I think you need to get a LIFE or at least a reality check!!!!!!
I am looking for American Girl doll Nicki. She looks like me and none of the Just Like You American Girl dolls look like me. I cannot afford the prices on ebay, so was hoping somebody may have one for less than $150.00. This is still expensive for me but would be interested up to this price.
Thanks!
Paige
Looking for the Marisol (2005) doll, gently used. If you have one you would like to sell, please email me.
Gracias!
Okay, real quick to comment I highly doubt you are Australian, as the characters on the Saddle Club are…Your grammar is totally off, and apologise, it’s not spelled with a “z” in Australia…okay back to the point.
I have 7 American Girl Dolls and am part of a middle class family, not a “spoiled brat” as I do also have many accesories too…but these dolls are very sought after and will last a lifetime (after a couple of restringings, et cetera.)…I am an avid doll collector and the quality is remarkable. Don’t buy dolls from Mattel today if you want quality though. Pre Mattel, (white body is better), dolls are the way to go. The craftsmanship has declined greatly after Mattel bought the company.
Oh by the way, I’m 12 and am looking for a mint condition, white body, signed American Girl Doll Molly. These go for up to 300 dollars on ebay and cannot afford that. I am willing to go up to 150 dollars though. These dolls were only issued in the first year and if you have one I would also like a Certificate of Authenticity as they also came with those…Thanks Bunch
I am lookign for the marisol doll…I am 9 and want her really badly.

Hi Tara,
Is it possible to see a picture of Jackson? I would really like to buy him, if he is still available. How much is shipping?
Thank you
Wow, the angry doll people sure showed up and threw down some smack.
What makes me laugh the most about the whole American Doll pavillion at the Grove is the fact that
THE DOLLS ARE ALL SEGREGATED
white dolls over here
black dolls here
brown or yellow-seeming dolls here
I will get pictures of jackson up he is still avalible shipping would be $7 for the box and packaging so $82 total
Thanks Tara, let me know when you have the pictures available.
