So thrilled that...Thank you so much, ForestPoodle!! So thrilled that you enjoyed it, there were definitely a lot of interesting things released so it was fun to check them all out! :D weirdly enough it didn't, it's not a very bright green that stands out too much as green, if that makes any sense. It's a fairly dull dark green, and if I remember correctly PC didn't hold onto the green ones very long. I have an Addy introduction post (I believe called "Guess Who? Part One") Which has lots of pictures of Addy fairly close up if you wanted to see them. Just type the post name into the search bar and it should come up :) So basically Kirsten has a very specific way that her hair is supposed to be done for a book accurate look. I believe she used to come with a little instruction pamphlet for the style (I had to Google how to do the hairstyle for mine) but basically you'd braid the hair as far down as you can before it starts becoming too uneven with stray hairs pulling out of the braid, rubberband it, then rubberband again as close to the end as possible, then tie the ribbon between the two bands. After all of that lol, then you turn the braid up and around behind the head and tie the ends of the ribbon in a bow around the front of the braid (with the ends of the braid pointing down). It's a bit hard to explain without pictures, but doing it this way creates a very nice round braid loop, that's super accurate to the book art and also hides the ends of the braid super well! But what AG is doing is just folding the braid in half and tying the ribbon around both the back and front braid. Which is much MUCH faster and easier, but it doesn't create a very accurate look and doesn't hide the ends of the hair at all. Hope that kinda made sense and answers your question! I definitely agree, and it's such a better way to go than Beforever style in my opinion! :)<br />-Katie :)Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08486399828435908859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2978276203384638189.post-9095768859800743592021-05-11T19:33:30.765-07:002021-05-11T19:33:30.765-07:00DIAMONDDDDD!!! :D
Yeah I can definitely see where ...DIAMONDDDDD!!! :D<br />Yeah I can definitely see where you're coming from, for me it also could be that I've been away from the catalogs so long that this is a bit of a shock as well lol! But that's a very good point, I think the only time they've really gone down that I can remember of is when their quality issues was forcing their doll prices drop (which is when I stepped away from the catalogs). You must have gotten yours before I did though lol, when I got my first they were $105 or $125 if you wanted the accessories too.<br /><br />Thanks so very much Diamond!! I'm so glad you liked it! And yeah, they're fairly small for the most part but there's definitely a lot of them XD<br />-Katie :)Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08486399828435908859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2978276203384638189.post-39262160630707678432021-05-10T10:41:20.655-07:002021-05-10T10:41:20.655-07:00KATIEEEE!
AG does seem really expensive these days...KATIEEEE!<br />AG does seem really expensive these days...but I actually thought the dolls were decent prices. When I first got my dolls, they were $95, going up $5 each year until eventually I stopped getting them at $120. If they still went up $5 a year they'd be...$150. Also, these guys come with the accessories which are like $25.<br /><br />Anyway, great review! I didn't realize there were so many differences.Diamondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03918358224247723584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2978276203384638189.post-12588645496368785972021-05-09T12:12:38.475-07:002021-05-09T12:12:38.475-07:00That was awesome!

I didn't know that Addy's eyebrows were originally green - didn't it look odd?? Also, I feel like I'm supposed to know this, but what exactly did they do wrong with Kirsten's hair style? I've never seen a Kirsten in person. Anyway, even with the changes, it's still pretty cool that AG did this!<br />-ForestPoodle88 ForestPoodle88https://www.blogger.com/profile/14840841354428624211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2978276203384638189.post-83961011071893843472021-05-09T01:07:42.094-07:002021-05-09T01:07:42.094-07:00Thank you very much, Haley!

XD yeah, honestly Molly's eyes have been changing for years since she was most prone to silver eye back in the Pleasant Company days, but I've never seen them go quite this dark of color. Yes! I totally agree! Both her and Samantha were pretty much on point! :D<br />-Katie :)Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08486399828435908859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2978276203384638189.post-82040733595646496712021-05-09T01:02:12.116-07:002021-05-09T01:02:12.116-07:00Oh my gosh hi Megan!!!! *Waves excitedly back* Aww...Oh my gosh hi Megan!!!! *Waves excitedly back* Aww thank you! I was super excited to post it! (A little nervous that it might hurt someone's feelings since I can be a bit critical lol, but mostly excited! XD)<br />Thank you so very much! Yeah I totally get that, and that's one of the reasons why I don't usually do these is because I'm not a "It's got an AG sticker so therefore amazing!" Kind of person. If I see something that feels out of place for me then I'll usually point it out and rant lol!!! So I was a little worried this post may not have been the best thing for me to do, and it didn't feel right to do if I wasn't going to be honest, so I'm very glad that you liked it! :D<br />Ah yeah, honestly it could have been so much worse of a quality drop, they obviously can't do it all the original original way, I just wish some things were done a little better. :/ oh yes! It's so sad to me too because that's literally my favorite thing about AG and what got them started in the first place! Very sad to see them take that for granted :(<br />Wait they won't send them to Canada?? That is so bazaar and honestly unfair, don't they normally do international shipping if I remember correctly? Also, if there's ever anything specific you're looking for as far as Pleasant Company stuff (whether that be outfits or dolls) please let us know! We keep a pretty close eye out on eBay and thrift stores and would be more than happy to help you find what you're looking for! :D<br />Oh my goodness those patterns are seriously the best! We have them as computer files so we have to kinda print them and tape them together lol, but they really were such a cool thing for PC to do! Which of the patterns do you have?<br />Oh no don't apologize, I really enjoy long comments and am so happy to hear from you! Thank you so much! I hope you're doing well and have a great day too!! <br />-Katie :)Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08486399828435908859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2978276203384638189.post-49183196162445356722021-05-08T07:36:26.746-07:002021-05-08T07:36:26.746-07:00Awesome!

Sometimes I feel like people say they love it all simply because it's AG, and I think it's good to have an honest review. <br />I really wasn't too bothered by the changes I noticed, partly because I was expecting a bit of a quality drop. However I totally agree with you on the historicals/Beforever being pushed off to the side. <br />Living in Canada, it's incredibly difficult to find old PC stuff, so I was really excited with the 35th Anniversary dolls, hoping that they would be selling the meet outfits separately. AG shot that hope down by not delivering any of the 35th dolls to Canada. 🙄 <br />Anyways, I'm still very hopeful that in the true spirit of celebration, they'll re-release historical sewing patterns. I would be over the moon, if they did that. <br />Anyways, sorry for the long comment, but I hope your doing well, and have a great day! <br />~ Megan The Humanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00784681415612891701noreply@blogger.com
