American Girl Wiki News: Read All About It!

March 28th, 2020 / American Girl and COVID-19 A lot has changed in a month. Starting March 15, all American Girl stores closed until at least March 27th. Depending on the state's level of closedown, the stores may continue be closed longer. American Girl is continuing to ship items from their warehouses. However, this may change soon, as their warehouse is in Wisconsin and the state may lock down to non-essential business closures soon. We are not a resource for information on health and protection. For that, please look up information through reliable sources, like the US CDC or your local state. Stay home, stay apart from each other, and wash your hands. Take care of yourselves. It's scary out there. Nethilia, The Admin, is staying at home. February 29th, 2020 / New Releases for Joss, Moddies, and Historicals Happy Leap Day! We only get this day every four years so I hope you made it count. This week, a small release came out with a little bit of everything for every line.

Don't line up to be the next person on the ban list for poor behavior. Nethilia, The Admin January 2, 2020 / Disability and Language - New (Clarification) of Policy Here at the AG Wiki, we use the appropriate words for disabilities. Which is, in fact, disability* or disabled. One of your admins is disabled. People with disabilities want to be called the terms they choose. Joss - as a character - is disabled. This is an appropriate term to use to discuss Joss; she is partially deaf or hard of hearing, and visibly disabled (as in, her disability is visible, not that she has a lack of visibility). The term "disabled" is appropriate to use to refer to her as a character and a doll. "Cutesy" or covert language that tries to hide disability does not help people or show the actuality of their needs. Do not use cutesy or fluff language, nor condescending or rude language. This falls under our global rule of bigotry. "It is okay to use words or phrases such as "disabled," "disability," or "people with disabilities" when talking about disability issues." Respectful Disability Language This has now been clarified on the wiki under Disability and Language. Nethilia, The Admin December 31, 2019 / Joss Surfs in for 2020! Joss Kendrick has arrived! Along with the doll, her collection is as follows: Joss Joss: Touch the Sky Joss's Beach Vibes Outfit Joss's Cheer Practice Outfit Joss's Cheer Competition Outfit Joss's Shine Bright PJs Joss's Cheer Team Jacket Joss's Surf and Swim Set Joss's Accessories Joss's Surfboard Set Joss's Bulldog with Life Vest Joss's Nfinity Cheer Backpack Set Joss's Cheer Practice Equipment Sea Lion Pup Purchasers can include donations to the Hearing Loss Association of America (HLAA). There's also a small release for Truly Me - the Berry Fresh Collection: Berry Fresh Tee Style in Bloom Jean Jacket Freshly Picked Tank Strawberry Shorts Market Day Skirt Colorful Stripes Shoes Market Hat Fresh Lemons Market Outfit Hip Hip Hooray! Don't get Blocked Today! Read the rules and write articles properly! Nethilia, The Admin December 31, 2019 / Joss Kendrick, GotY 2020 Let's all cheer for Joss! Source: Good Morning America, American Girl's 2020 Girl of the Year is First Doll with Hearing Loss American Girl through Good Morning America has released information about the 2020 girl of the year, Joss Kendrick, who's a surfer and competitive cheerleader from southern California. Joss has hearing loss--fully deaf in one ear and partially in the other--and comes with a new, unique hearing aid. She also has a new face mold, the Joss Mold. AG worked with experts in hearing loss as well as portraying deaf characters; furthermore, they've also announced a $25,000 donation to support the work of the Hearing Loss Association of America (HLAA). Items will be released on the website and in previews at stores starting today, December 31st. It's a whole new new release in a new decade - but the rules remain the same. We want good information, proper descriptions, and good pictures of items in the collection. The admin block finger stays itchy, especially in those first days of a new release when people suddenly act like they can't read the rules. Nethilia, The Admin December 29, 2019 / Banning for Leaks and Updates To The Rules Please check updates to the Rumors, Leaks, and Hearsay rules. Specifically, that we do not accept YouTube reviewers or product hint videos as sources for upcoming product. Especially not for pictures. A screen cap is not a good picture source for products. In fact, it's a terrible one. We still block for six months on the first offense. Even if we'll all know what's out in three days, that's not today, is it? Nethilia, The Admin

Consider the Following...

For years, American Girl Magazine included American Girl Magazine Paper Dolls based on real girls who sent in information about their heritage. Samantha's Velvet Dress was released shortly before her first retirement, giving it an availability of only a few months. Kirsten Larson had two Short Stories that were not published outside of American Girl magazine: Kirsten and the Thief and Kirsten's New Teacher. Past Girls of the Year used to have a Whole World collection, allowing the purchase of the entire collection at once after all components were out. Molly's Central Series books had the most illustrators overall: Chris Payne initially did the first three, David Gaadt did the first version of Happy Birthday, Molly!, and Nick Backes did the last two, before he redid the first four.
