After my experience with the underwhelming American Girl advent calendar, I wasn't sure if I'd be tempted back to the brand any time soon. However, I'm a sucker for new things, and lately American Girl has decided to do something new. Sort of.

It's a lot of recycled ideas. I would have been more impressed if the dolls had come with a brand new body type--maybe something with better articulation? But I'll admit to being charmed by the dolls as they are, so I bought two of them to share with you here:
