Does anyone remember a (continental) Indian 18" doll? From another one of those companies started by a mom? I am totally blanking out on her name.

@desertdollranch tagging you because I'm like 80% sure you might have posted about her

I've always wanted American Girl to add another Indigenous doll to their lineup, whether present day or highlighting another historical period. We have the thoroughly researched and consulted Kaya from the Nez Perce tribe who I love dearly, but it would be really cool to have another character join her in the lineup representing another Tribe with its own history and culture.

While that unfortunately still hasn't happened, I was thrilled when I learned about Maplelea's Saila Qilavvaq doll! She lives in Iqaluit, Nunavut, speaks English and Inuktitut, and shares her Inuit heritage through her journal, which takes place in present day. 

And now, I'm proud to say that she is officially joining my doll collection! Welcome, Saila!

We love to see beautiful Indigenous dolls, that's for sure. I can't wait to take more pics of her and learn more about Inuit culture. ❤️

“Tía Magdalena is teaching me about important plants. Every plant needs to be harvested at the particular time when it has the most power. Most remedies are best gathered now, in the autumn, when the full strength has come into the plants. I need to know these remedios so that I can be a curandera one day.”

Taken directly off the American girl website. It was too dope not to snag and share. Happy black history month.

i'm fucking shocked at how horrible the illustrations in marie-grace and cecile's stories are.

i mean holy fucking shit. where is the life in their facial expressions? why does it give AI vibes?

she's like, not even integrated into the scene. it feels like she was auto-generated and copy/pasted onto a background.

So, sometimes dolls will have eyes that discolor. (Either due to being poorly stored - in hot environments, for example - or just because they kind of sucked to begin with and time passed.)

Life of Faith was a "Christian alternative" to American Girl in the early 00s. (These spring up from time to time. Most of them only last a few years with a very niche market. I think, at the time, they had because people were flipping out about American Girl partnering with Girls Inc to fund after-school science programs and stuff, because Girls Inc was - according to the conservatives - "A pro-abortion, pro-lesbian organization".) The dolls were based around the Elsie Dinsmore books and it's all . . . big fluffy dresses on a plantation in the antebellum South. With all that that entails.

It was pretty fucking bad.

With that in mind, this is perhaps the funniest toy defect I have ever seen.

Have you seen Moana yet? She’s stunning and I say this as someone who hasn’t been impressed with most of the DisneyAG dolls, the only one I’ve liked before this was Tiana.
