I have become much more interested in 18" play dolls recently. In the comments section of a recent post, Juliet asked me if I own an American Girl doll, and I felt more than a little silly telling her that I do not. Many of you know that I've thought about this purchase a lot, and I have every intention of reviewing one of these dolls (maybe Rebecca, Saige, or Emily?), but I just can't seem to make it happen. I think part of the reason is that there are so many amazing American Girl resources out there--Doll Diaries and Never Grow Up being among my favorites. Those sites make me feel like I already have an American Girl doll, and so I tend to be more interested in investigating other options.
I often refer to the less expensive American Girl imitators when I'm discussing the prices of various 18" dolls. I have mentioned the Springfield Collection, the Journey Girls (Toys R Us) and Our Generation (Target). I've never actually reviewed one of these brands, though. The other day while I was browsing at Target, I noticed that the Our Generation girls were on sale for $18.99 (down from $22.99). That's a pretty good deal. Not only that, but there was a cute little redhead with bright blue eyes that I had never seen before sitting on the shelf all alone--clearly hoping that I would bring her home. Meet Charlotte:
