The title implies that just because they’re black, they look the same. Beautiful dolls, but it’s evident they have differences.

Hi Sophia. Nice video. I agree with the other comment that you look great in that lavender color. Your Belle doll is so pretty. I love coming across rare and interesting dolls at thrift stores. So fun!

So glad you made this video! I can’t definitely see why the frozen dolls were your top pick 😊 Also, you look fantastic in purple!

My mom actually is dead so can you not say that?

Great video! I love seeing what dolls are in peoples collections! It’s amazing how many dolls you’ve found at thrift stores - we don’t have them in my country so it’s fun to see other people’s great finds. Would you be interested in doing a top 10 thrift shop finds video? I’d love to know which dolls/ accessories you were most excited about when finding them :)

I'm am SO impressed with all the clothes you've made! I've been thinking of making some for my own dolls and you've given me great ideas! Especially altering baby clothes for dolls? Great idea!!

I had a similar circumstance when I found an American girl doll at a thrift store for $10 and I got all excited to find it but ultimately passed because I felt someone else would appreciate her more

Pocahontas would be amazing!!

i swear to god if we get samantha a THIRD time before we get a thought out black goty😭

I love Anna but that red hair is the wrong color, it looks like Blaire’s hair color but Anna has strawberry blonde to orange. Not that deep red. Elsa is more unique bc her super light skin and super light hair with MG Mold so I’m getting her

I have watched this video like three times in the past 2 weeks. It's so entertaining, and I love it so much! I love hearing about prototype dolls!

i’d love american girl to add more decade dolls with different stores like nanea and molly. i’d love to see 1800’s as well.

So you think that AG is DONE PERMANENTLY with Historicals for the 1800's FOREVER and before and will NEVER release any new ones again, no matter what?

I think the twins they are really a 2000 doll so a 90's doll truly 90's would be great.

I think a Play-line version will be coming out soon, maybe closer to the holidays or early next year, based on that post of Elsa's boots. I really like Anna too, she's absolutely stunning and adorable 😍, and really seems to be higher quality, though AG made less of her which is interesting. I'm still hoping for Merida this year!! Kris hinted that he had insider information thay suggested she was, I really hope it's true! 🤞

I see American Girl Rereleaseing historical dolls that were retired back in their original Outfits

Lila Lie-la

Elsa has the Marie-Grace and Kavi mold

These two are absolutely gorgeous! As soon as I saw my email I purchased them both. I do love that they are the collector series. I love everything about them. My only complain is that I wish Elsa doll would have had crystals on the dress bodice. Other than that they are perfect in every way. Love them. Thank you for your video. ❤️

I am excited for the new American Girl x Disney collaboration. I adore the Marie-Grace mold and love Elsa. But $310 is quite a bit out of budget. Plus that $10 increase on collector doll 😮

Crossing my fingers for Pocahontas

Anna has the Joss mold.

Your not alone..

I've been binge watching some of your videos today while i'm recovering from a sickness myself. I haven't been able to comment on most of the videos, but I have really enjoyed them. Having regrets is a normal part of life, but I do understand having many doll collecting regrets. I have this one really big doll collecting regret, one time I was at Goodwill, and there was literally almost 200 vintage barbies (from the early 60-90s) and because I wasn't hardcore collecting barbie at the time, I only got a few. Now i'm hardcore into Barbie again, and I so badly wish I could go back and get all of those dolls. They were 88 cents. 😫 But still very happy about the twenty I did bring home that day.

I love videos like this so much!

Thank you for sharing so much about Maplelea. There really isn’t a lot of content about them on KZfaq and your videos have been so informative! I have now begun adding Maplelea dolls to my collection and am loving learning more about them. I love all of your videos and your obvious passion for doll collecting. My first Maplelea doll was Leoni in honor of my sis who has moved to Quebec with her Canadian husband. (We’re from the states.) I then rescued a 2nd hand Jenna who is so precious as well l, and I have more on the way. I want them all now! ❤ 🇨🇦

Hi Sophia, I know this is an older video but I was looking up how to fix up MapleLea dolls. I have seen Clara in your collection but I never saw you fix her up. Great job! The wig is adorable. I can see why she’s a favourite. Super cute! I am thinking of buying a Saila from FB marketplace but her leg has an issue where the stitching is coming undone and it will require sewing back together. She is $20. I’m not sure how easy the sewing would be though. Have you ever come across any dolls with that problem?

How do you get the money for this?…..never mind. Its pretend. I’m going to try your challenge!😮😊

So true 😂

If Saila ever restocks (the date keeps getting pushed) I’ll definitely add her to my collection-but I don’t know if I’ll keep her on this body, just so she matches the rest of my dolls. She’s got such a pretty sculpt.

Love love love it❤

Thank you for showing us in more detail the comparisons between these two doll brands. I really like them both but I collect more American girl. I am Canadian so I would love to add a few more MapleLea dolls to my collection. I only have Taryn right now. I really appreciated you showing how they can hold their hands together in a pose. I did not know that! Right away I changed Taryn’s outfit, posed her and gave her a mini OG doll to hold. She looks so cute!❤ I will post a picture on my community page. Thank you!

I'm glad I bought Saila a few years ago and a lot of her indigenous clothing. She and some of her outfits are now unavailable and I am wondering if they will re-release her. One thing I missed out on is her Pang hat, but it is still listed as sold out for quite a few years now. Does this mean it will be manufactured again? Does anybody know? Thanks

I don't own a Maplelea doll so can't take measurements but own several pairs of the shoes and boots and a lot of the clothing. Here's what I think just by the fit. Maplelea boots are narrower but fit AG dolls. It seems like they are 1/2 inch longer than AG doll shoes. I could put them sole to sole and measure to get an accurate measurement but haven't done so yet. The narrowness isn't noticeable and fits fine. The only shoes they can't wear is open back like sandals and slippers because you can visibly see the overhang in the back. The extra length in closed shoes is in the front. They just look like they have bigger feet when two AG dolls are side by side and wearing the different brands. AG tends to make their sleeves on the short side (drives me nuts). Maplelea doll's arms (again not measured) are 1/2 inch longer and so the sleeves fit better and go to the top of the hand instead of half way up her wrist. Pants aren't as noticeable but I think they are 1/2 inch longer, too. All in all the Maplelea clothes are made better (Kudos to the Canadian manufacturer), fit better, and are cheaper per outfit due to the exchange rate. You can't drop photos in KZfaq comments so I can't show the comparison but it is visible on the dolls.

Great video! I wish I liked Maplelea dolls more than I do because they are very cute overall and I like how they can be more easily posed. I'm just one of those people who get the Uncanny Valley feeling from them 😭

I herd if you take the head off an American Girl doll theirs something inside the head or something printed that says when the doll was made

I like the Maplelea doll than American girl.

This is why you should collect because you love something not for money. Demand for Niche categories can drop at any point.

I have those dolls inherited by accident, and just love to dress them. I place them in ethnic dresses even Native American and she looks wonderful. Number 29 I got in 2012 so she had a different meet outfit. I was working in an at risk pediatric clinic with children from all over the world. So that doll fit nicely and reminds me of some of my patients from South America. 42 I don't have but she looks wonderful. Magic Attic doll you can find a replacement part for the arm. Just wonderful.

She’s beautiful! 😍

This video was super helpful! I saw the doll boxes as storage in another video as well and it's so genius!

Tenny popular?

Use a blow dryer to get the dust off the hair. Also a small art paint soft bristle brush (not the big kind) to gently loosen dust that is stuck. I learned that from a fellow doll collector. xoxo

Beautiful!

Nice doll collection!

Nice update! Please share where you get elf ears from if you do!

Your collection looks great with that new bookshelf! Do you do any sewing for your dolls? I apologize if you've already covered this in a previous video, but I couldn't remember.

Do you have any questions or requests for next month's collection update video? I'm interesting in hearing what you want to see from my collection! Don't Forget to Follow my Dolls' Instagram @just.dream.studios instagram.com/just.dream.studios

It’s always exciting being able to find AG books out in thrift stores, yard sales, etc. I am currently trying to collect all of the ones in the mystery series. Many of them I didn’t get a chance to read when I was younger so it’s really interesting reading them as an adult. They are engaging and almost more “mature” than their 6 book set IMO, but maybe that’s also part of the strong writing. Regardless, they are very enjoyable!
