I really liked Samantha, I didn't even know they made a Nellie doll- did she have her own collection or was she just part of Samantha's?
I wish they'd retire Molly for some reason, I just never cared for her.

Aww, Molly's my doll! *pouts*
I don't think they'll retire her right now anyway because she's from the World War II era.

Um, yeah, no. Just no...
This is not sad news. Sad news is a puppy being burned. This is not even news, peeps. This is a doll.
*ducks as all the strange doll-loving, cosplay folks barrage me with how important their dolls really are*

I thought that the company went bankrupt, or that one of them got knocked up by a Star Wars figure or something.

They were bought out by Mattel.
It's sad in the context of dolls - or maybe, just as the end of what was a part of many girls' childhoods. I'm wistfully sad, because my eldest (who also looked like Samantha) so loved her doll and books. I'm not sad in the same sense I will be on Nov. 5th.

Anyone need a Halloween costume idea? Cosplay your favorite American Girl doll!
(And if you don't look like any of them, just say you're an American Girl of Today.)

Samantha is the only AG doll I ever got, and she has always been my favorite! It's sad to see her ending....I wish I had collected more of her accessories.

Hahaha...yes I feel you on that. I believe I was a semi-fan of American Girl books when I was in 4th/5th grade, but i've definitely outgrown that. I wasn't even aware that they made dolls.

I am going to cry if (when) they retire Josefina. Several years ago, the hospital auxiliary here had a Josefina party to raise money; they 'bought' the rights and supplies to conduct the party from the Pleasant Company. I was so excited and plunged into the work...and then the Mexican woman who was going to hostess this huge party bailed at the last minute and I found myself in a huge Mexican dress with a script. I had to stand up there in front of hundreds of people and do the whole thing with a Mexican accent, using lots of Spanish. Women I'd known for 20 years were sitting there open-mouthed. 
In spite of that, I still love Josefina (and the Bitty Babies) best.

vjioletpretty, I have no idea! The closest I've been to American Girls is buying their "trinkets" for friends' kids, and the little books from Chick-fil-a. Although, I really think I would have gotten into them when I was a child...

My sister and I each had a bitty baby with most of their stuff too!
