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.
