Aww, Court's a good egg

Read Courtney's books. She's adorable. I'm still not necessarily sold on the doll (classic mold may actually fit the artwork for once but it's still my least favorite by far so here we are) but character wise? She's fantastic. I think she might be the first AG character in awhile that doesn't massively fuck things up though she does engage in my absolute least favorite trope for these books and fight with her best friend. It's not over something stupid and it's worth standing her ground but I think it'd be easier to count the characters who don't have a big ol' fight with their BFF than the ones that do.


Since I'm feeling scatterbrained, I won't go too in-depth and spoilery this morning (maybe tomorrow) but I will say that for everyone who was sure the 80's character would get nothing but fluff, Courtney sure went through some shit. AG going full meta was a bit cringey but not terrible, and I could've done without some of Courtney's Crystal fantasies as they felt very much like filler at points.

Overall I liked it. Courtney and Julie would be great friends, I think.

Oh, and AG? Good job going back to the illustrations. You absolutely made me want to buy every goddamn outfit piece, even the stuff I waffled on previously. Kid!me would've fallen for this ploy even faster.

Mine arrived today and I love her. It was definitely the books that full-on sold me. I was only maybe 20% there until I read them. The first one had me pretty sold, the second one had me buying her not long after. My only complaint so far is that a chunk of one curl isn't very curly and it's right at the front, so it's not like I can hide it well.

I've opened her and her Molly so far, though I haven't opened the tiny box on Molly herself. But THAT MINIATURE CATALOG. Oh, man. Right in the memories. I'm going to go open the other pieces and take pics shortly, though I won't be doing any sort of review until maybe tomorrow night.

I have been eying mini Molly and her catalog SO HARD and as soon as there's a sale or code or something, they shall be mine! I'm glad to know the catalog (truly the selling point of that set) lives up to the hope. :D

Anything other than classic and I'd have bought her and not Kira first since she's such a sweetheart. Hell, I'm still debating and I'm not entirely sure that when you share pictures I won't cave. Boo to the wonky curl. Clearly it's Tina's revenge!
