The Administration here would also like to take this time to remind all users that we here at the A*G Wiki do not care if you are new to editing or excited about getting an article/image up first if it is poorly written or improperly done. You can and will be blocked for both violations for a minimum of a week. Read our Policies, because you will be subjected to them from moment one.
Additionally until June 25, AG is offering buy one, get one free on select books, including BeForever classic series volumes, Historical mysteries, and activity books.
Two new series of books have popped up that will be under the American Girl Header.
The first is "Real Stories From My Time." These books are focused on actual events and occurrences that happen during a BeForever character's timeline. The first four books are:
Secondly is the "A Girl Named Series". These will be full-illustrated biographical books on the childhood and history of real historical women, mainly focused during their childhood. The first two known are:
A Girl Named Hillary: The childhood and life of Hillary Clinton, the first woman to be nominated for a major political party for president.
A Girl Named Rosa: The childhood and life of Rosa Parks, who became famous for protesting the segregation of the Montgomery Bus system in Alabama and made a name for herself during the start of the Black Civil Rights movements of the 1950s.
As usual, we strive for neutrality and respect here, as well as no rumor-monging about new characters, retirements, or designs.
There is no further detail whatsoever on the Girl of the Year 2018, though the information implies that, while Gabriela will remain past the end of the year, another character will be released.
In what can be seen as a move similar to the history of New Coke and the Windows 8 start screen, American Girl has decided to discontinue the permanent underwear that had started to be released on Truly Me dolls (and would have been released on three of the BeForever Characters), following several weeks of fan backlash and complaint. This was officially announced on the American Girl Facebook page, along with information that the most recent "boutique-style" box design would be reinstated (though it will remain for Contemporary Characters and through some of the Truly Me dolls until stock is depleted).
Existing doll inventory with permanent sewn-in underwear will still be available in stores until stock runs out. Any customers who have previously purchased dolls with permanent underwear can opt to have their dolls reverted to the old body design with a one-time no-cost exchange through American Girl (instructions here).
