I Am So Sad
NOOOOO!!! AAAAAAGH!! Okay, sorry. I’m just really sad because, guess what?! Are you ready to hear this? Okay, here we go…….
AG RETIRED THREE MAG DOLLS!!!!!! Two of them I really loved and wanted, too!!! π
I don’t know why, but this picture saved really blurry…..
………….*tries not to scream* NOOOO! I seriously loved this doll SO much!!! π
So I had heard a rumor, that there are supposed to be 2 new MAG dolls released when the line gets revamped to TrulyMe next month…. But since there’s three dolls that are no longer available, I wonder if there will actually be three new dolls? Hmmm…..
Are you sad about these dolls retiring? What are your thoughts on TrulyMe?
~Jaclynn~
Aww that’s so sad… I actually loved the last doll as well. How and when did you finds out Jaclynn?
I was just looking at the MAG dolls today and I noticed that on all three of those dolls, it said “no longer available”. π
~Jaclynn~
It probably just meant that they were temporarily out of stock. I’m glad all those dolls are available, and that AG didn’t really retire them
.
Noo!!! Oh well! I heard one will be a African American and one will be a 50s girl named Mary-Ellen! They are also retiring Caroline.
Oh, really? Yeah, Mary-Ellen will be the new BF to replace Caroline. I’m so excited for her to come out! π But also really sad that Caroline is retiring π
~Jaclynn~
I am soooo excited for Mary Ellen, no matter what I am definitely buying her book set when it comes out. It’ll be cool to have a 1950s doll, but it’s also too bad about Caroline… π
*Sunny
P.S. Is it definite that Caroline is retiring?
I am, too! π
~Jaclynn~
P.S. Yes, I read that it was confirmed by an AG employee π
I really want Caroline!
That’s sad that they got rid of those three dolls. I’ve always liked the last two a lot, and it’s strange that they even got rid of the one with long black-brown hair, because she is pretty unique. It’s also interesting that they’d retire the top two, because they’re kind of new. I wouldn’t say that they would make three new ones just because they get rid of three, because they might want to have less, or these three dolls might just not sell well. Anyway, it’s just always sad when they get rid of dolls. I remember when I found out that they no longer sold the My AG doll with dark brown hair with bangs, blue eyes, and light skin. I was so sad, because that’s one of my favorite My AG’s. I really want her someday. π
~Christian Homeschooler
Yeah, that is very true! Maybe it will be just 2 new dolls then. I’m excited to see what they’ll look like! Although I don’t really need any more dolls on my wish list…. LOL! π
Aww! I hope you get her someday! π
~Jaclynn~
Oh my gosh, they did??? I had no idea! That’s really upsetting and I’m feel so bad for you. I’m excited for Truly Me, because that probably means the MAGs will get new meet outfits, but it still stinks that they had to retire these dolls. I hope that when Truly Me comes out, they release dolls similar to these ones.
*Sunny
Yeah! But it’s weird – When I posted this, it said “no longer available” on those dolls and you couldn’t add them to your cart, but now they’re available again! Maybe AG was glitching and it’s something that will still happen in the future….
I’m excited for TrulyMe, too, but I’m just not fond of the name. I like My American Girl so much better! π
~Jaclynn~
WHAT?!!!! They are renaming MAG TrulyMe? And they are retiring Caroline?!! NOOO!
Yep! It’s so sad π
~Jaclynn~
Wha-huh? What’s trulyme? I are they just moving from one name to the other? Weird! JLY, MAG, trulyme.
I am not disappointed about these dolls, I like the doll with blue eyes and black hair, and the one with freckles, blond long curly hair. π
Yeah, that’s right! And they should be getting new “meet” outfits, too! π
Oh, I just discovered a love for the black haired, blue eyed doll, too! Just yesterday, actually! LOL!
~Jaclynn~
Well, I am excited for new outfits. Yeah, I really liked her for a long time but then my friend got her, which made me love her more cuz I saw her up close, but now it’s weird for us to have the same doll. Especially because we live real far apart now, and I would old want to tell her, LOL!!
Peace~I love the one with long blond curly hair and freckles!!! π She’s my favorite MAG.
*Sunny
I KNOW! And, she looks awesome in so many things.:-)
NO NO NOOOOOOOOOO! I am so sad right now! The first doll you showed I was planning to get this summer and now… *tear rolls down cheek* Waaah! That’s the pits. I was gonna name her Leighton π
Which two were the ones you wanted?
That’s cool- I mean TrulyMe. I wonder what the three new dolls will look like? π
~J
Oh, no!! That’s SO sad!!! Maybe you could still get her, though! I saw that they are back online so I think it was a glitch. But they are all probably still retiring…. Maybe your parents could help you out getting her before she goes away and you could pay them back? π
The last two are the ones I wanted… *sigh* π
Oh, me, too!! I hope they’re super pretty and unique!! Oh, wait, I shouldn’t hope that cause then I’ll want all three of them LOL! π
~Jaclynn~
I just got the last one (who is beautiful, btw) on E-bay last night for a steal! I showed my significant other your post today, and he mentioned it looked a lot like the doll I got last night… I’m sorry to see her go (her name is going to be Piper, after the Charmed series sister)
– Nova
Oooh, that’s awesome! Was she in good condition? Congrats on your new doll, by the way π
~Jaclynn~
She looked (on the e-bay page) to be in excellent condition, just a bit of gray on her fingers, that I should be able to clean with Magic Eraser. I will see when she arrives (should be here late this week, as far as the delivery id says).
They are definitely back up on the website to buy though, so I guess it’s just coming. I have Julie, and I kinda want the blonde, but I’m just happy I got #25, since she had to be a part of my collection. Geez, I really need to start a website of my own… I have like 10 dolls now, and I have a list of about 6 more I want.
Oh, that’s great! π
That would be great if you started a blog! I’m sure you’d have fun with it π
~Jaclynn~
What in the world??????? π π π I personally think they shouldn’t retire any dolls. This is horrible! the last doll is so pretty. And why are they retiring Caroline? She’s too pretty to be retired!
-Morgan
I agree! It’s just way too sad! π
I know, right?! Caroline is so gorgeous!!! And her collection is beautiful! π
~Jaclynn~
It’s one of my faves. I just hope the new dolls are pretty. I would love to see another doll with Jenna and Georgie’s hair color, super curly, and brown eyes. π
-Morgan
Ooooh! That would be such a gorgeous doll! π
~Jaclynn~
I know! I really want that doll!
-Morgan
I’m so very sad. π My friend was hoping to someday adopt one of those dolls, and now it’s too late, so I’m sad for her, too. π
Awww, how sad! π
~Jaclynn~
Oh noes!
We were planning on possibly getting #58 (the first one) later this year! And she sells (judging by doll bloggers) extremely well!
And the Julie lookalike! We wanted her, too! (Actually I don’t really mind her as much because Claire wanted her more than me, but we already have 3 blond haired dolls, than we’ll get Kit and #56, who has curly blond hair, freckles, blue eyes) and that’s kind od enough blond dolls for me, because I really want a lot of diversity, so…….
And 25 (also judging by doll bloggers) sells extremely well, too! What are they doing? Jaclynn, I bet that if you really wanted her, you could find one on Ebay pretty easily for the same price or cheaper as AG.
I kinda wonder whether the first one is going to look really similar to the 60s or whatever time she is. In the 60s then a lot of popular music groups (the Supremes is one I know right of the top of my head) had these big, awesome hairdos, and aince she kind of has big hair, they didn’t want a historical to look like a MYAG. I would be surprised if that wasn’t partially why they retired the Julie look-a-like.
Kathleen who always writes enourmously long comments
Awww! That stinks! I was going to add the Julie one to my wish list, but she just looked too much like Julie. I really wanted to make her (the MAG), and the darker skinned one be twins, though π
Yeah, I’ll have to search up on eBay sometime… Thanks for telling me her number since I had no clue what it was! LOL! π
Oh, do you mean the 50’s doll? Mary-Ellen? Or is there a 60’s doll that I don’t know about? LOL! I’m a little confused π
~Jaclynn~
Yeah, that’s the same with us.
π I drive my fridns crazy. I identified a #37, #57, and #33 by their description, and they just rolled their eyes the whole time, haha. They do that a lot just to tease me. :b
Also, I guess I didnt say Julie’s look alike number. It’s #53, in case you were wondering.
AG announced that an African American doll will come out next year, and it’s rumored (from people who have been correct multiple times before, but I’m still skeptical) that it will bea 60s doll from Detroit who is into Motown. Hence, the 60s doll theory!
Oh, thanks for telling me the number! π
Oooh, right! I knew about the AA doll, but didn’t know there were rumors about a year already! Wow, people move fast LOL! π
~Jaclynn~
π
Yep, they do! I would love a Motown dol, though…
Yes, it is so sad about Caroline! She is so beautiful, and I love all of her clothing. π And that is really sad about the last doll, I always thought she was SO pretty! But maybe someday there will be one similar to her. π I can’t wait to see the new dolls, and what the “Truly Me” meet outfit will look like! I’m really excited that they’ll be changing it, because I’m going to try and buy a doll in May, and I don’t want her to have the same outfit as the last doll I got! Sorry, I really got off on a tangent there. ;P
~Julia
Yeah, I’m gonna have to get some more things of her collection before she retires…
Yes! Me too! I hope it’s super cute, cause honestly, I don’t feel like the MAG meet outfits have been super great LOL! And yeah, I already have like 3 of the current outfit, so it’ll be nice to have a new one π
~Jaclynn~
Interesting. I hope maybe they will come out with some more unique combinations, no more original face mold dolls for a while! I’ve noticed other things disappearing one by one without any announcements too. I’m hoping that this next release and the one in the summer will have some exciting stuff in it, they have gotten rid of quite a few things over the past year.
Yes! I’d love to see more face molds! Like Marie-Grace’s or even some new ones!
Oh, really? I haven’t seen that… I’ll have to go searching through their site π
Same here! They’ve been making some pretty great things lately π
~Jaclynn~
I went on AG’s website and they are still there. Did you mean they are retiring??
Yeah, they were still on the site, but it said “no longer available” on them and you couldn’t add them to your cart. But when I read your comment, I went to look and that was gone and you could still buy them. I’m thinking that their site was glitching and maybe they will still be retired in the future… π
~Jaclynn~
NNNNNOOOOOOOOO I fell in love with the middle one at the agp Charlotte
Yeah, she’s really cute!
~Jaclynn~
The last doll looked exactly like my bff and I was planning on getting the blonde one! I hope this isn’t true!
Oh, I’m so sorry! They are still available right now, but I think they will still be retiring… π
~Jaclynn~
Oh! It’s really a bummer when AG retires dolls. I have so many retired dolls now, and it’s kind of a nuisance I can’t get clothes for their time period/story from AG! However, new dolls and outfits are always exciting!
~Kathryn
Yeah, it is π Oh, LOL! I just dress mine in modern clothes, but I understand how you would want to dress them in clothes that match their time period. I am kinda bummed that Felicity isn’t available anymore cause I LOVE her collection! Hers, Samantha’s, Caroline’s, and Rebecca’s are my favorite HC collections π
I totally agree! I can’t wait to see what the new dolls will look like! π
~Jaclynn~
I went to the website and I saw all 3 of them on there and they didn’t say ‘not available’. I am not sure if they are actually retiring them. They might be retiring maybe when Truly Me comes out.
<3Hope
I’m working on saving up the money for Caroline. I almost have enough, but I don’t know if I’ll have enough for Mary Ellen too. But I need Caroline before she retires, she is first priority!
P.S. This week I made my first doll dress! I’m going to practice and practice until it’s good enough to sell and be proud of…and hopefully on etsy. Then I might get enough for Mary Ellen!
Yes, definitely get Caroline first! π
~Jaclynn~
P.S. Oh, yay! That’s awesome! π
Thanks! π
Another thing: So…my cousin has Felicity and Elizabeth. She never uses them and they aren’t in great condition. But…she’s going to send them to the doll hospital…AND SHE SAID THAT SHE MIGHT GIVE THEM TO ME!!!! Exciting or what, right?! I don’t know if it’s free or not, but it sounded like it would be free! TWO dolls for free! And if it costs money, then oh well. They are two retired dolls so it’s worth it and she’s one of my best friends, so I know how she is. She’d have a low price of like $30 or something, or give it to me for my birthday!
I am sooo excited!!
OMGOSH! That’s amazing!! π
~Jaclynn~
Thanks!! π I’m super happy right now!
LOL, I thought I was the only person who said OMGOSH!
LOL! I thought I was! Besides my mom anyways, LOL! I say it all the time π
~Jaclynn~
My friends tease me because I say it so often! π
Why would they retire the one with the short curly hair????!!!!! She wa one of the most unique ones, and one of the only ones with the addy mold. They’d better be coming out with a new one with short curly hair. π

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I really like afro girl and I was even thinking of a name for her, even though my parents said that I already have 5 dolls, so we’re not getting any more right now.
The second is like a modern Julie!
And the third is just really pretty!
I am totally bummed out now, I really wanted the last two! I didn’t even know they retired them! I didn’t even know the are changing the name! I wonder if they are changing the outfits too, I don’t really like the outfits, they are kinda boring.
~Halo
Yeah, I’m pretty positive that they’ll be getting new outfits π
~Jaclynn~
Well I think Samantha was one of the popular ones when they retired her. Sometimes I don’t understand how they work…I imagine a board meeting with a guy going “Hey, Bob, statistics show that this collection would sell more if it had a different name..how’s Truly Me?” “Wonderful, Rick.” “Thanks Bob. We’ll do that this month! Alert the board members!” LOL. π
LOLOL! That is so funny! XD I wish they wouldn’t change the names, though. Like seriously, what’s the point? LOL!
~Jaclynn~
Yeah, they change it every few years, and everyone just calls it Just Like You anyway. π It’s super confusing. I could NOT get used to calling it My AG but Truly Me sounds like a collection not dolls!
It TOTALLY does!
~Jaclynn~
I don’t get why they change the name every few years-it makes no sense! Isn’t the point of naming a doll line to make it stick in everyone’s heads? So why would you change it??
*Sunny
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!
I laughed and my bro and dad were like what daisy?!
LOL. π
Read it in a deep really fake guy voice. I cracked myself up! π
Wait a minute, I just check the website, and they are available and I also put them in my shopping bag and they went it! HOORAY!!!!!
Just noticed that as well! I think AG will officially be retiring these dolls at the same time as they are releasing Truly Me.
~Leah <3
NO NO NO NOOOOOOO
I AM SCREAMING
I betcha #33 is next!
33 is GORGEOUS! They CANNOT get rid of her!
Hey Jaclynn (and anyone else who is reading this):
I just saw on Living A Doll’s Life that there are rumors that MAGs #12, #32, and #38 might be retired soon. Just letting you all know in case these are dolls you want. π
*Sunny
And also, it said that MAG #32 is being taken off the website…pretty sad. π
*Sunny
Thank you so much for telling me!! π
