WellieWishers

Wellie Wishers is a line of all-vinyl dolls released by American Girl in June 2016.

Overview
The line has five main characters: Willa, Kendall, Ashlyn, Emerson, and Camille. They are all characterized as young girls of about early elementary age (6-8) who meet together in a backyard garden to play with each other. While they each have unique personalities, the line characterizes them as all wanting the same overall goal of being a good friend.

The line is named after "wellies," a term for Wellington boots/rubber rain boots that was popularized in the UK. They are, as a line, designated to cover the span of elementary-aged children five and up who may be too young for handling the mainline American Girls but feel too mature for the preschool style clothing and infant focus of the Bitty Baby line.

The Wellie Wishers dolls are all vinyl: vinyl limbs and torsos. At fourteen inches tall, their overall shape is smaller than standard sized American Girl Dolls. They have fixed set eyes that do not close and wigged hair. The face molds, like the standard American Girl dolls, have visible front teeth.

Each doll comes in a meet-style outfit consisting of a tee, gathered skirt, panties, and rubber/plastic wellies that are slit up the back to facilitate removal.

Books
The books are written by Valerie Tripp and illustrated by Thui Tai. They are written as short-chapter books with full illustrations on each page.

Animated Series
An 11-minute animated series is also in development, and scheduled to debut in Fall 2016.

A free app through the Apple Store is available.
