BeForever RELEASE!!!
Okay, girls. I have been counting down how much longer until the release ALL DAY!! And around 9:40 my mom said that she read the release was online (but really it wouldn’t be online around 10:00 PM our time), so I RUSHED to the computer and went onto the AG site (I was literally shaking- I was so excited!), and then I counted down the minutes until 10:00- then it was time! I clicked refresh and VOILA! Let’s just say these lyrics “A whole new world! A dazzling place I never knew!” would’ve matched PERFECTLY in the background of me looking at all the new stuff!!!! ๐
Now, after dying for an hour (no joke) I am FINALLY ready to share my thoughts over everything with you!!!
WELCOME BACK SAMANTHA!!! I know, a lot of people don’t like the pink and they think it doesn’t “match” her, but I LOOOVE her new Meet Outfit!! It is SO beautiful and she looks great in it!! ๐ ALSO- it is true- you can buy the Meet Outfits separately for $36.00 AND AG has raised the price of Doll and Book to $115.00- ugh ๐
Samantha’s Frilly Frock is $36 and oh, so cute!! I love that it’s satin and I’m also loving the color combo of pink and purple- my two favorite colors! I also like that they used lavender, since that’s Samantha’s favorite color ๐
Samantha’s Bicycling Outfit is $34. It’s cute, but I don’t think it’s all that great. ๐
Samantha’s Nightgown is $24 and very cute! I love those little slippers!
Samantha’s Holiday Set is $64 and can I just say that I LOVE it?! I need money!! ๐
Samantha’s Fancy Coat Set is $34 and SO PRETTY!!! I love the black and white and the animal print!!! ๐
Samantha’s Hairstyling Set is $22. It’s a very cute set! I love the hat and the little hairbrush! It’s so cute and chubby! LOL ๐
Samantha’s Dog, Jip is $22. I like the fluffiness of him, but his face isn’t very cute… ๐
Samantha’s Bedtime Accessories is $44- That bear looks an awful like Bitty Bear…. Ugh, AG….
This set isn’t that great in my opinion, but the music box is cool! I like that it really works! ๐
Samantha’s Bicycle is $115 and I LOVE it!! I love the colors and just everything about it!! SO cute! ๐
Samantha’s Bed & Bedding is $150 and so GORGEOUS!! ๐
Samantha’s Ice Cream Parlor is $300 and I NEED IT!! It’s SO ADORABLE!! I LOVE the cash register!! I’m dying over this set!!! This is probably my favorite of the entire release!!! ๐
Addy Doll, Book, and Accessories is $134. Addy’s new outfit is SO pretty! I love the dark blue on her! And that little patchwork bag is adorable!!
Addy’s School Outfit is $34. At first I wasn’t sure what I thought about this, but I think it’s really cute!! ๐
Addy’s Lunch Pail is $28. I love that it even has the “love” cookies!!! That’s so adorable!!! ๐
Caroline Doll, Book, and Accessories is $134. I think it’s kinda sad that her outfit didn’t change much ๐
Caroline’s Party Gown is $36 and SO pretty!! Again, I’m loving the satin!
Caroline’s Table & Treats is $150 and reminds me quite a bit of the one from Marie-Grace and Cecile’s Collection…. But- it’s still cute! ๐
Josefina Doll, Book, and Accessories is $134. I really don’t like the blue added into her outfit. And I’m also so sad that she didn’t get anything else new. I feel so bad for her ๐
Julie Doll, Book, and Accessories is $134. I do not like her new meet outfit at all. The original one was way better! And honestly- those sunglasses make her look weird- in my opinion away ๐ ๐
Julie’s Tunic Outfit is $34. The only thing that caught my eye were those heels!! I’ve never seen heels that big for AG dolls before!!
Julie’s Winter Coat & Hat is $34 and I am DYING over this!!!! I really think my dolls need that coat!! ๐
Julie’s Holiday Outfit is $34. I wasn’t very impressed with this outfit… It just didn’t really appeal to me very much ๐
Julie’s Snack Set is $50. I LOVE all of those snacks!! SO CUTE!! ๐
Julie’s Egg Chair Set is $100 and I think it’s adorable!!! And that’s so cool that you can really play music through it!!!
Kaya Doll, Book, and Accessories is $134. Same with Caroline- I think it’s sad that her outfit didn’t really change ๐
Pow-Wow Hair Set of Today is $18. I’m not too interested in this ๐
Kit Doll, Book, and Accessories is $134. I think her dress cute and it’s definitely better than her original Meet Outfit in my opinion! The main thing I like is the hat ๐
Kit’s Reporter Dress is $38 and I think it’s pretty cute! ๐
Kit’s Photographer Outfit is $34. I am really in love with that sweater, but I definitely wouldn’t buy the outfit ๐
Kit’s Typewriter Set is $50 and can I just say- YAYAY!!! I’ve missed her old typewriter for such a long time and I’m SO happy that she has one again!!! I’m probably gonna have to buy this someday. I love typewriters!! ๐
Rebecca Doll, Book, and Accessories is $134 and I’m DYING over her new outfit!!! And OMGOSH that HAT!! I need to buy this someday!! ๐
Rebecca’s Holiday Outfit is $34 and again I am DYING!!! That is such a BEAUTIFUL dress!!! ๐
Rebecca’s Teatime Traditions is $68. It’s cute, but that is just way too much money ๐
Rebecca’s Director Set is $75. I LOVE IT!!! That chair is ADORABLE!! And the Megaphone!!
Now, let’s take a look at the Mini Dolls:
The Mini Dolls are $25 and come with a book. I can’t BELIEVE I am about to say this, and it is the first time I’ve ever said it about AG, but I honestly think they look so cheapy. They remind me of the little Isabelle dolls they had in Happy Meals at McDonalds! And I still don’t think their faces cute. I think they’re slightly cuter than the old ones, but if I’m going by quality, I have to say that the old ones were better. ๐
Also, there were a few new books released!
Doll Art Studio is $24.95 and it looks so adorable!! I think this kit is officially on my wants list ๐
I also noticed this which is $9.99
And this which is $24.99. ๐
So that’s all for the whole new release!! I’ll have to give this release a 9 out of 10 due to some things I didn’t like, such as outfits not being changed, cheapy mini dolls, etc.
However I LOVED this release and I hope you did, too! Be sure to share your thoughts in the comments! I’d love to hear from you! ๐

My absolute favorite thing in the new releases is Samantha’s bike, I think that is just about the cutest thing I have ever seen!!! I didn’t log in until after 6:00AM EST and Rebecca’s new dress already has “sold out” under it, I hope they get more in. I was probably most excited about Kit’s new outfit and the typewriter, I definitely want to get that. I was happy to see that some of the things everyone thought would be discontinued are still there.
As far as Samantha’s dress, I think it’s very pretty, just not sure it goes with the personality they portray in the books. But it’s not the first time she’s had a pink outfit, her original birthday outfit was a pink striped outfit with a pinafore. Not sure if I’m going to get it or not.
I saw the release too!!!!!!!! I hope you have fun at the AG store!!!!! ๐
Oh, thank you, but I actually didn’t end up going. My mom wasn’t feeling good, plus we couldn’t afford to drive down there ๐
~Jaclynn~
I agree, I just don’t like Samantha’s Meet Outfit ๐ I think the Mini’s look weird too. My wish-list is a lot longer…
The Historical stuff does not look time period accurate! I might get Rebecca’s holiday outfit of my Becca though.
NOOOOO!!!!!!! I can’t BELIEVE they raised the price again!!!!!!>:( I’m SO mad!!!! And I absolutely hate Jip, the old Jip was WAAAAAAY better and way cuter! But I do love like EVERYTHING else!;)
-Cookie-
I have the exact same opinion as you for the realise!
I need the typewriter! One for me AND Kit,lol!!!!
Not AG’s greatest realise,but still cute!!
AAAAHHHHHH!!! I’m shaking!!!!!!!!
So my things that I would consider buying are:
Julie’s winter coat and hat
Kit’s accessories
Addy Mini doll
And also I know that this isn’t a new item, but Kit’s floral dress that THANKFULLY didn’t retire. I think that that would go SO nice with the new hat!
OHMYGOSH im so excited!!!!!!
AHHHH!!!! I NEED JULIE’S EGG CHAIR!!!! Those mini dolls look SO cheap! They’re all hard plastic now, and they do look like the Isabelle McDonalds dolls. ๐ I can’t wait to post about all of the new stuff on my blog!! ๐ ๐ ๐
OMYGOODNESS I LITERALLY… SCREAMED WHEN I SAW THIS!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

4. Samantha’s coat 5. SAMANTHA’S HOLDIAY DRESS! 6. Julie’s winter coat 7. Julies. Egg. Chair. I saw that and was like “OMDOLLS! I’M DYING FOR THAT! NOW! AHHHHHHHHHH!” 8.Kit. 9. TYPEWRITER!

UUGGHH Julie’s glasses!! But I like all the colors and the new mini dolls (I am a traitor!!) ๐ And Sam’s bike!!!
I love everything you loved! Lol! Except, I love Mini Kaya. I DO!
I keep commenting on this, but, nothing’s showing up…
That’s just because I hadn’t approved comments yet ๐
~Jaclynn~
Urggggggffffff. I like BeForever, but I don’t. I think the new outfits are really pretty, but they are all too pink and expensive for me. I’m not sure, but I think Rebecca’s eyes were changed to brown…… It’s hard to tell in the pics from AG.
I really liked the old mini dolls. ๐ the new ones are cute, but WHY ARE THE BODIES PLASTIC????? The old mini dolls bodies were under stuffed, but now the mini dolls don’t look like the big dolls ๐
– Emmaly
P. S. sorry the comment was long ๐
I have only ONE of the former mini dolls and I LOVE her.
She’s Isabelle GOTY 2014.
And I have had other girls on my wish list too, like Felicity,and the other retired
girls that were retired but you could still get their minis.
Their HAS to be some good qualities about these minis.
I really hope that someone gets one and does a thorough review/comparison of the two types.
There is a blog I follow that might have a review of the new mini dolls soon. It’s called the Toy Box Philosopher, in case anyone would be interested in maybe seeing a review.
Yes, I hope so too.
P. S. I saw some pictures of the mini dolls at the store, and addy and Kaya are pretty cute! ๐
So did you go to the release yesterday? If you did are you going to post pictures?
~Carli
No, unfortunately, I wasn’t able to go. We would have, but my mom wasn’t feeling good and we couldn’t afford the drive down there. ๐
~Jaclynn~
Oh, that’s too bad! Tell your mom I hope she get’s better ๐
~Carli
Okay, I will! ๐
~Jaclynn~
I’M GOING CRAY CTRAY!
Very interesting. Thank you for your thoughts. I’ve only checked out Kaya’s collection and hope to see the rest soon.
I don’t like how Kit and Sam have AWESOME movies and the outfits shown on the girls
in those movies are no longer available : (
Hi! OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH MY GOODNESS I NEED JULIES EGG CHAIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WONDERFUL AWESOME WONDERFUL AWESOMEWONDERFUL AWESOMEWONDERFUL AWESOMEWONDERFUL AWESOMEWONDERFUL AWESOMEWONDERFUL AWESOMEWONDERFUL AWESOMEWONDERFUL AWESOMEWONDERFUL AWESOMEWONDERFUL AWESOMEWONDERFUL AWESOMEWONDERFUL AWESOMEWONDERFUL AWESOME!!!!!!!!!
Anyways, I was wondering, Jaclynn, if putting a ‘Rules’ page on my site would be copying? Thanks!
It’s fine- you can make a rules page! Thank you for asking! ๐
~Jaclynn~
Thanks Jaclynn! I read your post about copying and how it’s not good at all and I just thought it might be copying to use your idea. Thanks again!
I love Rebecca’s new meet dress! Its so pretty! Perhaps I should have waited couple of months to have gotten her….. I agree, Julie’s glasses look ridiculous. I don’t really like the rest of her outfit either, her old one was way better. Samantha’s dress is pretty, if you like pink. Jaclynn, I know this is off topic, but could you please pray for my dog, Winnie? There is something wrong with her, but the vet can’t figure out what.
God Bless,
Lacie
Oh, no! Yes, I will definitely be praying for her! ๐
I hope they figure out what’s wrong soon!
~Jaclynn~
Hi, Jaclynn! Man oh man, I’ve been gone for a while. I was super duper busy! Anyway, CAN I JUST SAY THAT I NEED SAMANTHA!? As in, RIGHT NOW!? (I’m crazy) Oh well. I like the old mini dolls better. :S I don’t know if it’s just me, or did they change Rebecca’s face mold? It just doesn’t seem like the Josefina mold anymore…I don’t know. It’s now a running joke with my little brother and I that Caroline’s new party dress looks like Elsa’s dress. From Frozen. LOL! ๐ Well, I love Beforever! (except for the mini dolls and how they got rid of Kit’s Reporter dress and replaced it with that…polka dotted THING. *shudder*) Well, see ya around!
