When I visited the American Girl store in Boston, I had every intention of buying the historical doll, Rebecca. As you might recall, my shopping experience went a little differently than I'd planned, and I left with My American Girl #29...and a mini Rebecca.
I love the idea of having a doll with a miniature replica. When Annette Himstedt used to make vinyl dolls, her club characters had miniature "Kleine" versions of themselves, and this always made the club dolls more tempting to me than the regular line. My other favorite miniature doll replicas include Lee Middleton's small versions of some of the older Artist Studio babies, the delightful collection of mini Pullip dolls, and the McDonald's Happy Meal miniatures of the Liv It's My Nature line.
The American Girl minis are another example of a well-done, accurate replica of a larger doll:
