Cécile and Marie-Grace
Aug. 8th, 2011 10:19 amToday is the unvieling of the new American Girl Historical dolls, Cécile and Marie-Grace. Because AG hasn't quite figured out ways to make their site not freak the fuzzy out on new release day, we shall instead analyze the new shinies here. (We being me. And the voices in my head. Possibly the cat if she returns to glare at me for giving her the flea treatment she loathes.)
I won't lie. I think Cécile is gorgeous. She's almost exactly perfect, and the only thing I don't like is the way her eyes photograph, but she is supposed to have hazel eyes, so I won't bitch about this being the nine-hundred and thirty-third doll in a row with the hazel eyes. Going into this, I was pretty sure I'd want Cécile and MG would just be the pretty doll who didn't interest me.
Yeah. Whoever said "I think you'll be surprised" was right. Just not necessarily in the way they might have been expecting...
( Picture Heavy. 34 or so images. I do the work so you don't have to. )
So, to sum up, Cécile is a hell yes as is her special dress. M-G is... broken. But I must stop thinking of her this way because you know how I am with the island of Misfit Toys. I want the books. Now.
