i am the proud owner of five american girl collectible dolls, and i understand that since the company switched over from pleasant company to mattel, the original dolls from pleasant company are becoming much more rare. three of the dolls are from pleasant company, all that i purchased around 1998, but is there anyway that i can figure out exactly what year the dolls were manufactured? is there a particular artist mark or something? or a significant difference in a doll from one year to the next? let me know if you can help me out!

Who else out there wants a Rebecca Rubin American Girl Doll?

tmo — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 02:48:11 +0000

I got my first American Girl Doll Molly when I was 6, and have been collecting ever since. Now I have Kirsten, Samantha, Josefina, Kaya, and Nellie as well. I was so excited when Rebecca Rubin came out, and now she is going to be one of my Christmas presents! I can’t wait. =) I know I’m too old to play with dolls, but the American Girls are collectibles anyway. Who else feels the same way I do and wants a Rebecca Rubin doll?

Holiday Savings on American Girl Dolls

Doll collection is nothing new but like all hobbies, it can turn out to be an expensive hobby if you are not careful. While it is always nice to have a hobby that you really enjoy, know that your hobby doesn’t have to turn out to be a pocket burning obsession. There are different channels where you can acquire American Girl dolls. You just have to find out where to get those dolls at inexpensive prices.

Fortunately, the Internet is here to help. Before making a purchase for an American Girl doll, always go online and check out a price comparison website. Price comparison became popular more than a decade ago, and was popularized by MySimon. When price comparison engines was first invented, they were meant to crawl eCommerce sites like Amazon, HP, Dell, etc so that consumers can compare pricing easily.

It wasn’t long before someone came up with the idea of auction comparison. In other words, you will be able to check out the latest bidding information from a single website for the item that you want to bid on. Auctions can be from all over the world – US, UK, Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, etc.

The greatest thing about auctions is that you sometimes find incredible deals. That is how you can buy the American Girl doll that you’ve always wanted without having to spend a fortune. Auction sites are mainly used by sellers who want to sell something that they don’t want. For this reason, sellers are likely to let go of their merchandise at incredibly low prices. The only factor that will drive prices up is bidding competition.

Bidding competition occurs when several bidders are eyeing the same item. Ultimately, the item will end up with the bidder who wants the item most badly. This also means that the bidder is willing to pay a much higher price compared to other bidders for the same item. If you are looking to buy American Girl dolls cheap, AVOID bidding wars at all cost! Sometimes, bidders put in outrageous bids because of ego. They just want to beat all the other bidders! If you see a bidding war going on, just ignore that particular auction. Other great deals will come along soon enough.

When you visit an auction comparison site like BuyAmericanDolls.com, you will be able to see exactly what is happening to an auction. For example, you will see the latest bid price, the number of bids, and the amount of time left for the auction. If you see a high number of bids for an auction, chances are, a bidding war is going on.

For many collectors, auction sites provide abundant opportunities to buy out of production dolls. Some sellers may have bought the dolls many years ago, and now just want to get rid those dolls. If they are not doll collectors, they are most likely to be unaware of the true market value of the dolls they own. For this reason, you may be able to own highly valuable dolls in exchange for a low price if you manage to win an auction.

So spend some time visiting auction comparison websites and look out for the diamond in the rough!

You can do comparison shopping for American Girl Historical Dolls at BuyAmericanDolls.com, where you can also compare prices on American Girl of the Year Dolls.

Doll Care Tips for Your 18 Inch American Girl Doll

tmo — Sun, 17 Jan 2010 22:33:58 +0000

My daughter and I love to visit the American Girl® Place. We always dine at the cafe my daughter’s favorite is of course their dessert. I must say, it’s just too pretty to eat. One favorite spot in the store is the doll’s hair salon. You can hang out and watch the stylists spruce up some magnificent magic do’s. One of the stylists had shared some really important doll care tips, which I would love to share with you. There are also some tips from a good friend who is an avid doll collector for over forty two years. I hope these are helpful as they have been for me and my daughter.

Always Wash your hands before handling your doll. By doing so you will keep her clean longer.

There are three essential items for brushing your doll’s hair.

Doll wire hairbrush

Misting bottle

A towel or apron

Always use a doll’s wire hairbrush. If you brush your doll’d hair daily it will prevent from getting tangled but always remember to mist lightly. If you brush your doll’s hair dry it may cause ripping and damage to your doll’s hair which is made of synthetic fibers.

Never put mousse, hairspray, shampoo, conditioner, tangle free liquids, foam or any chemicals on your doll’s hair. Your doll does not have human hair and therefore by applying those items mentioned above with only damage your doll’s hair. Remember water “H20″ is only the best and recommended by American Girl©.

Never use blowdryers, curling irons or straightners on your doll’s hair otherwise you will literally melt her hair. There are other safe and fun alternatives to curling and styling your doll’s hair. American Girl©. sells perm rods and curling paper but here is an economical way my daughter and neice came up with. Use paper towel or toliet paper tubes and cut about an inch or so. Take a strand of hair, lightly mist, fold curling paper and roll the paper tube like a roller, fasten with a bobbie pin or clip, let dry and fluff with fingers. The aftermath is beautiful. You can also mist a strand of hair , fold curling paper, twist and dry.

If your doll’s hair does gets tangled do not use what you would normally use on your own hair ie. detangled mist or creme rinse. Just mist water on your doll’s hair and brush it from the ends and work your way up, in strands.

Always avoid getting water on your doll’s skin. My daughter puts an apron or a towel on her doll before spritzing and doesn’t allow the water to come in contact with her doll’s face.

Never keep your doll in direct sunlight. If you leave your doll in the sun all of her coloring will fade, including her doll clothes.

Baking soda works well to wash your doll’s face. If your doll has a stain you can use a little baking soda on a lightly dampened washcloth and gently wash her face. Let it air dry after wards.

With mom’s help you can help keep your doll’s cloth body clean and smell fresh. Have mom vacuum the soft cloth body, lightly sprinkle some baking soda or cornstarch in to the cloth, leave overnight, and then vacuum again.

Doll clothes should be hand wash or machine wash in Delicate cycle.

Try to avoid eating with your dolls. If food comes in contact, have your mom help you clean her up.

If your doll’s head loosens, it can be tighten. Untie the strings at the back of the neck of your doll and secure the head in place. Make two knots with the strings to keep secure.

My daughter has 10 American girl dolls. Ouch! One of her gripes was Molly’s hair as many of you Molly owners can agree. We were told at the American Girl Place, that Molly’s hair is textured. Therefore, her hair is best kept in braids. Since she followed their advice, she has since regain her fun with Molly. She works with Molly’s braids, changing her hair bows, twirling each braid up on each side, attached into a single pony tail or french braid.

My darling daughter loves her dolls and enjoys dressing, reading to them as well as reading about them and having tea parties with them as well. She says “Momma, I will never depart with them. I plan on giving them to my daughter one day.” As a mom, I am so thrilled to hear this. I know these dolls are a big investment but when I see how in tune she is with them and loves reading about them. I know is well worth the investment. Also, I love the innocence that these dolls contribute to young girls. In today’s world, I find that to be a treasure.
