This is semi-old news now since this doll has been on American Girl's website for a few days, but the newest Truly Me doll made her debut. Her number is #92.
I love how she's receiving a phone call from #88. In the past I've mentioned a desire for a green-haired American Girl, but this pet with her blue and black and pink hair is pretty awesome too. And yet...and yet she looks vaguely familiar...yes, she looks a bit like the Forever Dolls that I discussed earlier this week. Particularly Rebel.
They're not exactly the same, of course, but they're not too far off from each other. Rebel looks more like a little girl with her kite-tie blouse, while #92 looks closer to the snarky teenage stage. And they BOTH remind me of...no, it's not Mal they remind me of, but rather blue-haired Evie. I said Mal earlier in the week, but Mal's hair is purple. But yeah, both Rebel and #92 have dominantly blue hair with pink/fuchsia streaks, and they both wear their hair curly/wavy. There's enuff differences that the two dolls can be told apart, but the similarities are there. Similarities aside, I like the new Truly Me doll. Will I be getting her? Not anytime soon since I want to buy both Joss and Corinne this year, but she's on my radar.
Much love,

I love her color palette and can definitely see the resemblance to Rebel. Stay tuned, maybe they will make a boy that looks like Axel. lol Hopefully without the "deer in the headlights" look. Its probably silly, but their numbers instead of names is off-putting to me.
ReplyDeleteI know, right? The numbers sound so impersonal, like these dolls are reduced to blips of data rather than individuals. I wanted to give #92 a pet name, but I didn't because it would look like I bought her, LOL.
DeleteI don't know if I should be amused or mildly miffed that this doll is released less than a year after I made a custom on a classic mold with a wig featuring the same colors and such, like, this girl is a doppelganger for my custom. I love her but I kinda already have her? Lol.
ReplyDeleteI guess you could just chalk it up to great minds thinking alike!
