Surprise AG?
Mar. 4th, 2021 11:32 am![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
impySooooooooo.. AG apparently decided it was much too easy for them to release things on my days off so they went and added more to the release. All the new stuff, however, is on pre-order and not scheduled to come in til March 31. I love more usual. So much that I made an order before I finished compiling this. Care to guess what I snagged?
Sweet Feet Flats // $10
Item#GYD80
Pair these purple metallic flats with pants or a skirt. They have elastic crisscross straps and a sweet layer of shine. Part of the AG Fashion Show® Sweet Street Collection!
The name is terrible but the shoes are cute!
Sugar-Coated Sneakers // $12
Item#GYD81
These iridescent low-top sneakers sure are sweet for your feet! They have a glittery mesh on the sides and elastic laces. Part of the AG Fashion Show® Sweet Street Collection!
Hey, AG, you do remember how to make nifty shoes. Good job!
Sweet Ombre Sunglasses // $10
Item#GYD82
These mint-colored sunglasses are sure to give you a sweet outlook on life! They have ombre lenses and sparkly gems on the frames. Part of the AG Fashion Show® Sweet Street Collection!
I appreciate the colors and the sparkle. I... am likely going to pass, however.
American Girl Mini-Mystery Pack Snacks // $8
Item#HBP53
Surprise and delight your girl with a fun food item for her doll! She can open the blind pack to reveal one of ten pretend treats: a pancake with syrup; sushi and chopsticks; a mug and pastry; chicken and potato salad; fries and a strawberry malt; two popsicles, berries and a smoothie; a chocolate malt and a burger; a tropical drink and papaya; or a sandwich and carrots.
Please note: Item selection is random and is in blind packaging. We cannot accept requests for specific items. You may receive duplicates!
All sales of Mystery Packs are final if opened: no returns or exchanges.
I think this came up in a survey at one point and thus I am not surprised to see it implemented. Blind bags are still stupidly popular and for AG, this price is insanely good. I absolutely wish I had someone to trade with and even more than that wish I lived near a store to just pop in and buy these when they hit stores. But I don't so this is one of those things I can see being a PITA for anyone not near a store or not down to throw $135 each time they want to get their BB fix. I'm wondering if these are already things that AG makes though, as Georgia's Hot Chicken is from Tenney's run. *muse*
Sweet Shorts // $10
Item#GYD79
Pair these short and sweet light-purple knit shorts with a sweatshirt or tank top. They have a tie at the front and black and white stripes up the sides. Part of the AG Fashion Show® Sweet Street Collection!
So these are cute and I want them, but I'm currently gambling on them being around for grabbing with Rewards. If not, I won't die if I miss them.
Double The Sprinkles Skirt // $12
Item#GYD78
This pleated skirt is twice as sweet with two sprinkle-print tiers and a silver glitter elastic waistband. Part of the AG Fashion Show® Sweet Street Collection!
Apologies for not sharing the nine hundred repeats of this but you'll see it modeled in about two seconds anyway. This is adorable and is giving me flashbacks to being a kid and desperately wanting an outfit with a tiered skirt like this. I got it after much whinging. Granted mine was polka dots and not sprinkles but this is still cute as hell.
Minty Sweet Tank Top // $10
Item#GYD77
Look cool and cute in this mint-colored tank top with spaghetti straps and colored stitching at the waistband. It’s perfect paired with a skirt or pants. Part of the AG Fashion Show® Sweet Street Collection!
Torn! Love the color. Love the stitching at the bottom. Well documented dislike of showing the arm sockets. On the other hand, would totally use rewards to snag this so... we'll see.
Cute As A Cupcake Accessories// $16
Item#GYD76
These oh-so-sweet accessories include a pair of jumbo pink barrettes, a shiny silver headband, and a cute cupcake purse with glitter frosting. Part of the AG Fashion Show® Sweet Street Collection!
I am torn on this. On the one hand I like how they've styled the purse at least once or twice and I dig the barrettes. On the other hand, I have Gabby's twisty silver headband and it's shit so I'm not expecting anything better from this version. If the price were lower, I'd probably buy it. It's not, so I'll likely pass.
Sweet Street Bomber Jacket // $16
Item#GYD75
Layer this iridescent bomber jacket over any look for a colorful candy coating. It has silver rib knit trim and a zip front. Part of the AG Fashion Show® Sweet Street Collection!
Thank you dolly gods for not calling this holo as some idiots were trying when it leaked. I don't have to spend the next forever grinding my teeth over that and I can enjoy this fabulously adorable jacket. ♥
Sweet As Candy Twist Tee // $10
Item#GYD74
It doesn’t get any sweeter than this twist-front tee with a diamond and candy toss pattern. Part of the AG Fashion Show® Sweet Street Collection!
This is cute but not my absolute favorite thing in this release. Not sure how I feel about the twist front, but I guess it gets points for being different. And I really like it paired with...
Candy Stripes Jumper // $16
Item#GYD73
This pink striped jumper with a zipper up the front is perfect for layering over tees or tanks. Part of the AG Fashion Show® Sweet Street Collection!
So this is cute as hell and I need it and um, yes, I will be recreating this look sans sunnies. Hell, this is so cute I might even be tempted to re-think them. SO CUTE.
Sweet Street Black Pants // $10
Item#GYD84
Create a look that’s sleek and sweet with these shiny black faux-leather leggings. Part of the AG Fashion Show® Sweet Street Collection!
LEATHER PANTS FOR AG! LEATHER PANTS FOR AG! I mean, FAUX but still. MINE. I don't even care that they look like they'll fall apart before the decade is out. GIMME. (Yes. My entire approach to AG collecting is a mix of "oooooh! Shiny!" and "ha! WTF?!")
Sweet Street Sweatshirt // $12
Item#GYD83
Look snuggly sweet in this sweatshirt with a glittery pink ’Sweet Street” logo and black raglan sleeves with white stripes. Part of the AG Fashion Show® Sweet Street Collection!
I want to like this more than I do. It's not terrible, it's just... not as nifty as anything else in this collection. I am also swayed by the knowledge that I personally look stupid as hell in raglan sleeves and thus I hold dolly versions to unrealistic standards or something. Plus I think this is only as cute as it is due to the doll wearing it.
Caring for Baby Set // $48
Item#GPM74
There’s a new baby in the house! This set includes everything needed to take care of a baby—just add a little TLC.
A baby doll with movable arms and legs and a head that turns
A flutter-sleeve floral-print top and a pair of pink and white striped footed pants for the baby doll and a matching headband with fabric bow
A high chair with a removable tray to hold baby’s food at mealtime
A star-print changing mat that’s lightly batted, so baby is comfy
Two light-pink cloth diapers with hook-and-loop fastener tabs to keep them snug on baby’s bottom
A wipe case that opens and comes with three soft cloth wipes for changing time or messy meals
A bib with a butterfly graphic to keep baby clean when she eats
A bowl that holds pretend pureed baby food
A pink-and-white plastic spoon for feeding time
A bottle with handles that can be held by the baby doll or an 18-inch doll
A mini book that’s a doll-sized version of A Smart Girl’s Guide: Babysitting
Fuck, this set is adorable. Is it because I'm having Barbie flashbacks or even Quints flashbacks? Maybe. Am I going to spend $48 on this? Mmm, no. Like not even a chance. But I'm so sad that I shall not have this cute little one in my life. This isn't AG's first time making little baby sisters for the 18inch dolls but this might be the first not necessarily white one. Little one looks about two seconds away from throwing that bottle too, and I am onboard for the chaos.
Go For The Goal Soccer Outfit // $34
Item#GVR01
Get a kick out of this all-star soccer outfit for practice or game days. It includes
A light-blue short-sleeved soccer jersey with a ’Stars” team logo
A pair of black shorts with a blue star on one side
A pair of blue cleats and white socks with double blue stripes on them
A blue elastic headband to hold her hair out of her eyes
Two shin guards that clip on under a doll’s socks
A black and white foam soccer ball with the American Girl logo
Y'know, if I hadn't already bought the Olympics soccer outfit for Abby dress-up, I'd probably be more into this. As it is, something about the jersey is throwing me. I do like that it's blue, though. ♥ Oh, btw? The Olympic set is $2 cheaper which is so weird.
On Your Toes Ballet Outfit // $28
Item#GYP46
Twirl, leap, and plié your way through dance class in this outfit that includes:
A black V-neck leotard with short lace ruffle sleeves
A pale pink mesh skirt with a ribbon bow at the waist
A pair of white tights
A pair of pink ballet slippers
A pair of pink knit legwarmers to keep calf muscles warm
I like the lace sleeves on this leo, but I feel like after awhile if you've seen one AG ballet outfit, you've seen 'em all. I'd definitely pick this up on sale and could probably actually come up with some uses for that leo. *muse*
Rehearsal To Recital Dance Outfit // $28
Item#GYP47
Practice makes perfect! Get ready for the next dance performance with this outfit that includes:
A dark-blue leotard with a floral mesh bodice that can be worn alone for rehearsal
An asymmetrical mesh half skirt with embroidered floral appliques at the waist for a more formal recital look
A barrette with an embroidered floral applique that matches the skirt
A pair of dark-blue ’turners” dance slippers for lyrical dancers
Of all the new sports themed outfits, this is probably the only one I'm seriously considering. It's different and the colors are lovely. But am I swayed by the fact that they have one of my favorite (and possibly soon to retire?) classic mold dolls wearing it? I mean, maybe. But you can't deny that this stands out in the AG dance costumes. *muse*
Shoot For The Stars Basketball Outfit // $34
Item#GVR03
Be a star on the court! Dribble, rebound, shoot, and score in this outfit that includes:
A sleeveless berry-colored basketball jersey with white contrast panels and a star logo on the front
A pair of matching shorts with side insets
A pair of mid-top basketball shoes with printed graphics
A pair of short white socks
A white terry-cloth sweatband for when the game gets heated
An elastic hairband
A foam basketball to shoot around
Nnnn. I've seen more interesting basketball outfits from AG and I hope to see more in the future. This isn't for me. The names of these sports outfits are fantastic though. A+
Sommersault Sparkle Gymnastics Outfit // $32
Item#GVR00
Who wouldn’t flip for this all-around amazing gymnastics outfit that includes:
A long-sleeved leotard with a silver metallic scroll-print graphic
A pair of plum-colored shorts with a wide waistband and a silver star print on one side
A pair of satin slippers for floor and beam
A fabric-covered elastic hairband that matches the leotard
A set of white grips with fabric-fastener straps to wear on the uneven bars
See what I said about the basketball outfit and repeat here. I might pick this up on clearance or on sale but probably not because my "well, maybe if the price is right" list is so very, very long these days.
There's a tiara that I swear is the same thing they offer as a free gift to Rewards members but only in store. Boo. If I missed anything else, well, I shall try to correct it at a later date.
If you were wondering what I ordered, this is your last chance to guess.
Ready?
The double sprinkles skirt, the black pants (duh), the bomber jacket, the twist tie shirt, the jumper (double duh), the purple flats, the sneakers, and two of the blind bags. I'm hoping I don't get doubles. I threw in Courtney's sneakers and her jacket to hit free shipping.
Seriously, this release was apparently right up my alley. Who knew?

(no subject)
Date: 2021-03-04 11:50 pm (UTC)Annnnd I thought of you when I saw the pants. AG seems to be really good at releasing something super relevant to one's interests as soon as they place an order. Skill!
