I was trying to figure out what to get the girls for Christmas. I looked into the American Girl dolls but I almost had a heart attack at the price tag of $120. Then I found out about the wellie wishers and I was so excited that I bought the whole set of 5 dolls. I had planned on getting a set of pajamas and one other outfit for each doll but again with the heart attack because of the cost of $20 for the pajamas and $25 for an outfit. Nevermind about the matching outfits for the granddaughters-outrageous! My plan is to keep the set of dolls at my house for them to play with when we have them over for sleepover night every Saturday. I wanted to by the play house but that costs a heart attack and a stroke at $250.00. Grandpa is handy and will make them one for much less! <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6443729619692022416.post-29307216056637818202016-11-20T12:41:12.926-08:002016-11-20T12:41:12.926-08:00Agreeing with many above...Charming dolls...but $6...Agreeing with many above...Charming dolls...but $60???

LOL Oh, how I can relate to that. Well, Ashlyn is adorable. Her bright eyes and freckles are just darling, plus I'm a sucker for bangs. I'm undecided myself about getting one or two for my girls. They're cute, but I think maybe $15-$20 overpriced. I think my oldest (now 8) would probably prefer an AG, especially since there's an AG club that meets one afternoon a week at her school. And my youngest (3 1/2) is far too fond of her Bitty Baby to entertain other dolls. They just end up neglected.Jewellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16210320389634837355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6443729619692022416.post-12325502911367254772016-06-27T18:27:26.214-07:002016-06-27T18:27:26.214-07:00Almost missed this post.

We don't get the AG dolls here, at least not in the regional cities where I live. The size comparison you posted was quite handy. Gives me an idea of the scale of these dolls.<br /><br />I do love her freckles and those wellington boot designs. I also think her skin colour is quite lovely. Shame about her limited articulation but I think that's mostly because I've been spoiled with bjds and FR dolls. She's a cute little doll though.AlasseCarnesirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10014121062303198129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6443729619692022416.post-87234417352748380362016-06-25T15:18:48.934-07:002016-06-25T15:18:48.934-07:00Mind?

Maybe they realized that with their line of baby dolls for toddlers and their regular 18" dolls for 8+ left them with a few extra years that they weren't marketing/selling to?<br /><br />There were two women (along with a group of girls who were probably in the 3-9 range who were carrying several AGs and a Bitty Baby) in the store with me yesterday who were commenting excitedly that they'd thought the Wellie Wishers would be $75. So they were thrilled, but also obviously not new customers in the bigger brand sense. I guess we'll see if that turns out to be enough of a market to keep this new line going!jSariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13091297532711995227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6443729619692022416.post-16216888682388312832016-06-25T07:50:39.652-07:002016-06-25T07:50:39.652-07:00Heh, I'm definitely eating my words of trepida...Heh, I'm definitely eating my words of trepidation from yesterday, aren't I? <br /><br />I'm doing to some clothes-swapping today, and I think the Wellie Wishers may be able to fit into more cross-line clothing than I'd have guessed, so that's always great to see! :)jSariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13091297532711995227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6443729619692022416.post-39615390247758776972016-06-25T07:48:33.367-07:002016-06-25T07:48:33.367-07:00Thanks!
