My thoughts on GOTY 2016 Lea Clark and her collection

Hello! How was Christmas? How was New Year's? So there is a new GOTY, so I thought I'd share my thoughts on her collection. So let's get started! Note: I do not plan on buying anything, if I did I'd buy it indirectly, and not from American Girl itself, Why you ask? Well because I'm kinda boycotting it in a way because of some their changes they've made. So..Yeah...

Anyways! I still like to talk about it and stuff, I just don't really buy any of it (unless it's not bought directly from AG), I use it for inspiration for other things I do.
Now on to Lea Clark. Now she is pretty cute, She reminds me of a mix of Jess and Kanani, she looks like Rebecca and Mckenna mixed together. She is beautiful, I feel like after Grace and Isabelle AG is kinda stepping up a bit. This one is more entertaining, more colorful. And I love the tribal prints, the amazon, and that type of thing.

Lea is kinda growing on me..I think I like her dress (I love it :) The shoes are..interesting, but not my style. I love her bag, and her compass is okay but..I don't really care about it. I might read her book to see if it's a good read (recently AG books have just been kinda bleh, like Saige, and Marie-Grace and Cecile.)

Her accessories are cute, but not too useful, yeah there are doll-sized pics of animals, a headband, and camera (which is turquoise? Hmm..) I know AG is geared for like 8-13 year-old girls, but maybe they should also thing about the older teens out there that still love AG, I'm 15-years-old and I loved the AG I knew and loved from early 2000-2012, after that it just spiraled off somewhere giving us less quality items for such an expensive price..


Her hiking outfit is cute, but looks like a lot of hiking/camping outfits they've had before, her outfit in general reminds me of Kanani's shave ice shack outfit, anyone remember that? :) What I like about it is; Her binoculars, her walking stick and her backpack...


I'm sorry..but those PJ's do not appeal to me..they look like a 3 year-old went to the beach in the late 80's or something (that's my honest opinion, it's okay if you love all this, that is fine, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, that is why I have this blog. to share my opinion :)



This outfit is okay, I liker her shirt and her shoes and the shorts, but they aren't the best thing together, They are cute though



I like this beach outfit, you could mix it up for your style and I like the color scheme  with the tribal prints, the headband is really cute too!


The animals are cute and all (my fav is the turtle :) but I just 'inherited' a turtle kind of like this one from my older brothers and it was $4 cheaper (my brothers got it from the rain-forest cafe like ten years ago :) See, I love stuffed animals and I collect them and they are cheaper than the AG ones, and sometimes cuter! I don't know what to think of the sloth though..the margay cat is cute, but I really love the turtle <3 :)

Oh..I kinda want this :) the messenger bag for girls is adorable! I'd love to get it somehow :)

This Rain-forest hut is probably one of my favs in this collection, it's huge, detailed and comes with a lot of stuff. But...It comes to a total of about $400 just for the hut and accessories, so yeah..definitely not gonna be able to buy that, but I will make one for my ever after high and monster high dolls! wouldn't that be so cute?! A EAH and MH sized one for your dolls? I'm so making that :)

Lea Clark's dress for girls..I want it :) it's adorable, I can't even..Ugh! AG you knew I liked tribal prints and that I want to go to the amazon someday, and right when I'm beginning to kinda boycott you. You make a GOTY that has tribal prints and the amazon together! :) XD

Hmm..This to me is just another Kanani shave ice shack. I looked at more detailed photos from the AG website and it's so much like Kanani's. I like the color though.

Her beach accessories are cute, and useful, but it's not worth $34, and the turtle does not look real at all.

Her kayak set in really cute, purple and green are colors that I really like together! at least it's not like $150 and is $85 instead, but didn't Kanani already have something similar to this?

So all in all, I like her collection, it's a lot like Kanani's but I like it, I like it a lot more than Isabelle's and Grace's collection (I watched the Grace movie last night with my sister's and I didn't like it at all :)
So yeah, I guess in this post I sound like I'm being picky :)
So here are the things that I'd like to get if I could.

Lea Clark's dress for girls $48 (that is a lot of money for one dress :)

the sea turtle $18

and Lea Clark's messenger bag for girls $38 (that is a lot of money also :)

Problem is; all that together is about $104, almost enough for the doll itself, I mean C'mon AG bring your prices down a bit, I'd have to get 'em when this year is almost over during the sales.
AG I don't know if you know this already but there are some die hard, hard core AG fans that are young girls who's parents (or relatives) don't have enough money to buy them this stuff, my youngest sister is beginning to like AG now and my grandma wanted to buy her a doll last year but it's way too expensive! Please AG bring down the prices to match the quality of your products please! People will buy more and more if you do, and they'll be buying so much that you won't even need to raise the prices.
Anyhow, I'm done ranting to AG :) Thanks for reading and I'll try to post more soon!

What do you think about Lea? Will you be buying anything in her collection if you could? Do you already have her? just comment and tell me about it! I'd love to hear other's opinion on  her!

  1. I LOVE seeing your opinions. I kinda boycott AG in the sense that I only buy stuff from them used.
