Molly and Emily: Archive Bound!

Going to bed for awhile, but if you're so inclined, AG has finally made the Official Archival Announcement for Molly and Emily.

Remember these simple tips if you're getting sucked in OR you know someone who is:
Newest stuff, accessories, furniture if you want it, and last of all, the dolls. The best friend will be harder to come by on the secondary market (especially in Molly and Emily's case) so plan accordingly.

Why to the order? Newer stuff will be harder to find on ebay later on because, especially in the case of her new pajamas, it won't have been in production for damn near 20 years.
  Accessories tend to get overly inflated prices because someone always loses a fiddly bit or something.
  Furniture is a bitch to ship, so getting it right from the source is usually a better (and cheaper) idea.
  Usually the dolls are last to sell out, frequently going on backorder. Nellie didn't (which is why I advise snagging Em before Molly if that's your thing) but Elizabeth did.

Oh, and it appears that if you want her tea set you should snag that first.


New stuff was released (including Saige's Paula Deen outfit) and my interest is pretty low so don't be waiting on a complete round-up of that. :P


Now to acquire an original set of Molly books (with the original illustrations) as well as the older but not original illustrations. Those plus Molly herself, Molly's Meet Accessories, and Emily's Meet Accessories are all I'm missing. The part of Em will be played by Saige Paints the Sky Red ...With Blood later in the year.

New AG Stuff

It's June which means the summer/fall release of AG stuff has hit!




As per usual, our Girl of the Year, Saige, gets some new stuff including her movie (it'll air on NBC in early July if that's your thing), an accessory set, and an outfit as seen on Paula Deen. You've got some fabulous timing, AG.

( Saige's Stuff. )

Well. I am positively underwhelmed by Saige's collection as a whole with a few exceptions. (They made her a friggin' hot air balloon. Still cannot get over that. Will never get over that. NEVER FORGET.) And yet I gather she's selling like hot cakes and some of her stuff has spent much of the year on and off of backorder, so... that's... a thing.


Elsewhere, the Bitty Twins got new stuff and I yawned.

MyAG stuff is new but a lot of it isn't really my thing. There's an unusual green outfit that I'm pretty sure I could have pictured on my Great Aunt or Grandmother. It's part of their return to having three outfits you can order as a set for mix-n-match potential or buy seperately if you can't stand one (or two) of the outfits.

New Stuff Can Be Found Here. The first four pages are filled with the stuff that's actually new this go round.

Of interest to me:
( Science! Hair stuff, witches, and an excuse to buy Meatloaf )

Oh, they also released two new MyAG dolls (and are phasing out two older ones) but as I'm not in the market for any classic molds at all, yeah. No thank you. I'm having enough trouble with the fact that both Molly and Saige are classic molds, I will not be adding no names to the list.

In general, I'm kind of meh to this release which is good because I can concentrate on Molly and moving and stuff, and bad because sometimes I'm meh until someone takes a really good picture and then I'm doomed. Til then, I am content with only wanting a little and none of it is an immediate want.


In other news, Molly's archival announcement has prompted sniping from two of my least favorite people on Playthings. I'm torn between cheering because someone (anyone) is saying something not super nicey-nice to them but... I loathe them both. I feel like the universe should go explodey at this point. o_O

Birthday!

T.S! It's your birthday, yes? I hope it's amazing because you deserve so much happiness and love! :)
