What Were to Happen if American Girl Started Marketing to Older Customers?

I know, long title. But I've wondered this before, in fact, it was an American Girl Doll News post that made me decide to finally talk about this. Firstly, I personally feel that less 7-9 year old's go to American Girl, but more 10-16 year old's are into American Girl. It seems that American Girl is slowing starting to market towards older customers with Tenney and Z, but still not enough. In my opinion, if American Girl were to start marketing towards older customers, their sales would start to rise. Last year, I sold 2 of my dolls (#38 and #55), and a girl who was maybe anywhere from 12 to 14, bought them both. This really has made me realize the age group that purchases American Girl's products. Do you agree with this? Thanks for reading!!! ~The American Girl Theory

Let's Talk About "The Monkey"

This has me thrilled so I just want to talk about it please. So in Minnesota, a MUMMIFIED MONKEY, yes you heard that right, a mummified monkey  was found in an air duct in what used to be a Dayton's (the name was changed to Macy's) so ummmm yeah. I'm really hoping it gets a name. Here is a link to learn more: https://patch.com/minnesota/southwestminneapolis/mummified-monkey-found-downtown-minneapolis-building   Ummmm so yeah, uh I guess here are the surveys in case you haven't completed them yet, soooo, here you go? https://goo.gl/forms/fVMJZpOytN8FTfpC2 https://goo.gl/forms/qK19jDcubSu3C2qG3 Thanks for reading??? ~The American Girl Theory

What Will Blaire Look Like?

I already have one guess that you may have already seen before. So here are 3 ideas for what Blaire may look like (minus my first guess because I don't like how that one turned out anymore.) 1: This one is my favorite. 2: This is the most similar to my original guess.   3: Which was your favorite? In case you haven't done my surveys yet, can you please complete them?  https://goo.gl/forms/cmPDOGXFXm3nbjys2 https://goo.gl/forms/LY7G0exCB0GaIFNu2 Thanks for reading!!! ~The American Girl Theory

What Will Estelle Look Like?

Here are 3 ideas on what I think Estelle may look like. Once they give her a last name I will make a "mystery doll" post on her. 1: 2: 3: Thanks for reading!!! ~The American Girl Theory http://theamericangirltheory.blogspot.com/2018/04/bella.html https://goo.gl/forms/jC0tLo1awZnZY4Rb2 https://goo.gl/forms/zzuKo9Iz9eo56tyL2

Bella.

Normally, I don't make 2 posts a day, but I decided to today. I also normally don't do posts like this because it can make me uncomfortable. Well, in case you did not know Bella, from "The Nook Dolls" on Instagram had passed away from cancer. I never met her, but she always seemed so, so, hopeful. I know that if I had cancer I would be a complete wreck, I would just want it to be over, I wouldn't be nearly as hopeful as she was. An inspiration she will always be. She will also be remembered forever. We miss you Bella. Thanks for reading! ~The American Girl Theory

Why was Samantha Cubed?

The first huge question in this one is why did cubing even become a thing? It's just kind of annoying in my opinion. I think cubing was possibly created since they brought Samantha back and then knew it would be a bad idea to archive her for a second time. Also, they knew they would receive a lot of backlash if the would archive Addy. Samantha was most likely cubed because American Girl expected her to be super popular, but she wasn't as popular as planned. Therefore, Felicity was also cubed since they didn't know how popular she'd be. By now you are probably wondering: "Does that mean if Felicity, Samantha, or Addy become more popular they will not be cubed anymore?" My guess is no, American Girl (at least not at my location) doesn't seem to have enough room. Are there any questions about American Girl you'd like me to answer? If so, leave them in the comments.

Emory the Mystery Doll

Image
The 2 main questions for this character are: where is she/he's parents from and what is she/he's time-period.        First of all the name Emory is German and Van Zant is Dutch. This means that Emory's mother is most likely an immigrant from Germany and her/his father is an immigrant from the Netherlands. My first  guess is really far fetched, but I'll still share it. Perhaps Emory is from 1949 or 1950 and will be a friend to Maryellen. This would mean that American Girl would have to create more stories for the Beforever characters. Perhaps Emory's parents were spies since the Netherlands were controled by Germany in World War II. My other guess, (which is more logical) is that Emory is from the 1920s and she was born in Germany or the Netherlands. Here is the state chart again:  Blue means a character is from that state already. In the second map orange is the possibilities. I think Iowa or Vermont would be most likely. What do you think? Thanks for re

Release Chart for 2018 Number I don't know

I have no clue how many of these I've done.  April: Probably nothing May: Again, probably nothing June: Wow, coming soon! If anything, Molly. July: Look above August: Look above x2 or Emory or Blaire  September - October: Probably nothing November- December: Holiday collections and possibly a holiday outfit for Nanea. I may do a theory for Emory soon. Thanks for reading!!! ~The American Girl Theory (If you haven't already, please go to my last post and complete the surveys. Thanks!)
