2017 GOTY: Gabriela McBride confirmed
Dec. 7th, 2016 05:24 pm( Gabriela's book cover appeared. )
So... GOTY 2017 confirmed. The question is whether she'll be a straight up re-release of #46 with an updo or if there's going to be some difference like new eyebrows/lipgloss/something. Rumors still seem to indicate that this is going to be the final year for the GOTY line, but AG's current ... thing seems to be unpredictability so who knows.
For the first time in, I dunno, forever? I got to share the GOTY with Cass and didn't have to field the "so... not black?" conversation. The fact that last year or the year before, Cass fell in love with 46 but never got her doesn't hurt. But the amount of happy "eeeeeeeeeeeee!" this morning was enough to make my cynical heart happy. I will have issues with AG over Gabriela (I already do, what with them cutting her with Tenney) but I will buy the ever loving hell out of her, even if they pull a surprise move and she's not a Sonali mold. (I mean, she's gonna be, but since I love the mold it's not a hardship for me.)
AG's doing a reveal of something tomorrow and it could be Gabby. It could be something else entirely.
Lissie and Lilly has an updated list of upcoming products and the various bits of info about them, if that's your thing.
I had an entirely different post planned but then squee happened and also I don't feel so hot so the thought of prodding my brain didn't really appeal.
ETA: Since today's Daily Deal (which might be the last of them unless you shop in store) is free shipping on any Lea thing, I went ahead and used my rewards to buy her Celebration dress. I waffled back and forth forever on it because I remember how popular Kanani's fancy dress was and that damn thing lingered forever, despite it being the one thing in the collection collectors and kids agreed on. But I figure that for $10 off and no shipping, it was worth it. And if it lingers, well, the community is welcome because I did my part. :p
