I’m very excited to introduce my new dolly. She’s my first Create Your Own American Girl.
I designed her to look like me, but I’m not sure I’m gonna give her my name. So for now, she doesn’t have a name.
I picked Face D because I liked the wider nose, and I wanted her to stand out amongst my other blond-haired, blue-eyed dolls. I was also very curious about the “textured” hair option for Create Your Own dolls. And so far I love her hair. I’m curious about how it will hold up over time, because I really don’t know. No other American Girl dolls have hair like this. It’s a little bit like Melody’s, but not exactly.
I’ve introduced her to a few new friends.
Her face is different from McKenna’s and Courtney’s, and they have three different hair colors and textures, but all very similar. Right now you have two choices for eye color when you Create Your Own doll. I chose the light blue, and it ended up a bit darker than McKenna’s (though it’s possible McKenna’s eyes have gotten lighter in the past 9 years).
I also wanted to introduce her to Gabriela, who American Girl claims has the same face shape.
I resisted the Create Your Own dolls for a while; it was a risk ordering a doll before I knew what she would look like. Oh, I should show you what she looked like in the computer when I ordered her!
I got the glasses because they’re included in the price, but I’m not planning on my look alike doll wearing them. I might try them on other girls, but I’m not sure.
I’m pleased with how my doll turned out, and she feels really special. To keep her special, I’m not planning any other Create Your Own dolls. But who knows how my dolly addiction will go…
