New MyAG (and Bitty) stuff today. Not much though, as it's a very small release. I wonder if we'll be getting a release next month, too?
Anyway, it's beach stuff for the MyAG/Bitty Baby/Bitty Twin crowd.
MyAg:
Sunny Isle Outfit & Tote Set for DollsMy American Girl® dolls will be all set for fun-filled sunny days with this cheerful outfit and pretty tote!
This is an outfit and accessory set that isn't bundled.
Sunny Isle Outfit for Dolls + CharmItem# G0442 // $28
The weather is warm, the skies are sunny, and she can't wait to get to the beach! This My American Girl® outfit includes:
A cheery yellow ruffle top with double straps and squiggly embroidery at the neck
Tropical-print shorts
Orange flip-flop sandals that have beads at the toes and elastic heel straps to keep them in place
A tropical-flower hair accessory for a pretty touch
A "Kind" square charm for the doll's charm-keeper necklace
It's cute but it shows off the least attractive part of the doll (hello, arm sockets) and while I think it would look prettier on any of the non-white dolls, I realized they probably didn't put it on one of them for two reasons:
1) When in doubt, throw it on a blond.
2) The cloth/vinyl differences are far more noticible on the dolls o' color.
If it were to go on sale at a time when I had money, Sonali would snatch it right up. Otherwise, I'll likely pass though I do think it's cute.
Seaside Tote SetItem# G0444 // $24
She can pretend that her My American Girl® doll is heading to the beach or taking in the sights under sunny skies with this set:
A cute tan hat with a sparkly ribbon accent to shade her eyes
A pretty canvas tote to carry her supplies-it features rope handles accented with fuchsia ribbon to match its tropical screen-print design
Pretend lip balm
A shiny bracelet with colorful cabochon beads to accessorize her summer outfits
I like the bag. A lot. But not $24 worth. The lip gloss amuses me as well, though I'm sure the bracelet will be a right royal pain to put on. (They always are.) I'm not the intended audience for the hat and I'm not a big hat person because they look stupid on me sooooo...
Beach Chair SetItem# G0446 // $48
Her My American Girl® doll will be ready to reserve the best spot on the beach! This set includes:
A folding beach chair
A hibiscus-printed basket to hold all of her favorite refreshing treats
A pretty leaf-shaped plate
Plenty of pretend snacks: shave ice with a cup, a coconut drink, two pineapple fruit wedges, and two fruit kabobs with orange, pineapple, kiwi, and more!
Hey, AG, just because you can charge a certain price doesn't mean you should. So this is a big fat no.
If you are particularly enamored with any of the outfit things for a girl sized people, you can
buy them here. I have to admit I really do like that bag. *cough*
Bitty Baby:
Sunny & Sweet Swimsuit for DollsItem# G0429 // $26
Bitty Baby is ready for summer days in this adorable swim outfit!
A swimsuit with tiers of multicolored fabric to give it a floaty, flouncy feel, plus fabric flower appliqués for a sweet touch
A wide-brimmed twill hat to give her eyes a bit of shade
Jelly-type shoes to protect her tiny toes
Nine times out of ten, I will find orange and pink an awful color combo. This is one of those times.
There's a beach snack set and a
sun shade as well.
Bitty Twin:
Flower Hearts TankiniItem# F9301 // $26
Her Bitty Twins® doll will be such a sweetie in this tankini! This set includes:
A swimsuit top that has a fun heart-and-flower print and bows at the straps
Matching briefs with a ruffled hem
Blue flip-flops with daisies at the toes
The Bitty Twins' Beach Fun book for girls
I'll pass, but thank you.
Sailboat Swim OutfitItem# F9320 // $26
Perfect for a day at the beach! This summery set includes:
A tee with a colorful beach graphic
A palm-tree-print swimsuit
Blue sandals to protect his little toes
A blue bucket hat to shade his eyes
The Bitty Twins' Beach Fun book for girls
Cute, but not $26 worth of cute, y'know?
There's a
beach chair and
sun and sand set, too.
All in all, it's a decided no for me. Which is good because I haven't the money to be throwing at them for new stuff anyway. :P
