The Comical Scale of American Girl Items: Backpack Edition
zhlédnutí 534Před 7 hodinami
It is a running joke that the scale of American Girl items is inconsistent. In this video, I had some fun with that fact by packing a backpack for my mini-me with all the essentials, and then doing the exact same thing with my own backpack. The results were highly entertaining, to me anyway. I hope they are to you as well. Thanks, as always, for choosing to spend some time with me talking dolls...

      Have you done tattoos on your dolls before? The only one I'd done was the 5 on Kaci's wrist so she could match me. But now I'm thinking about other possibilities, like scanning my own tattoos and then printing them on the kind of paper used for temporary tattoos so Kaci can be an even more precise mini-me.

    Love this, and it definitely made me chuckle. Just this week, I was attempting to make a metal detector for one of my dolls for a photo challenge. I made the mistake of telling my husband what I was doing. I chose a pill bottle lid for the head of the detector and right away, he said it was way too big. My argument was that if it was directly proportionate to a human sized one, it would not show up in any pictures. Following a silly 2 day standoff, we compromised. I used a smaller lid (which was still too big in his eyes). In the end, he did like the photo I took (when he wasn't around.....lol). Thanks so much for your fun and informative videos.

    The "average" size scale is 1:3. But as you showed us it is a very loose concept. I just use that as a guideline for when i find something i might be able to use. So fun to see how much you actually were able to fit into the backpack.

    Honestly, kind of impressed that you got all that into the bag! I think it's the hoodie that takes up more room, proportionally. Something about clothes at that scale and folding them, I think. Also, curse that water bottle! It's the problem! But also still very cute, though. This was a great video, thank you for sharing.

    I found the matching blue fancy earring on eBay and other earrings that match ones that don’t have a match. Now I will have more posts than I have earrings.

      @@agtakesover I was thinking of putting a dangling attachment to Josephina earrings. I think they are just a bit too plain

    I still love packing my dolls’ bags. It’s so fun! The tiny accessories, even if sometimes off scale, are so cute. At least AG accessories are better scaled than Mini Brands…

    • @agtakesover
      @agtakesover Před 2 dny

      Agreed!! With MiniBrands, I'm always like, "Welp, maybe we'll just say this is the trial sized version" or "I guess we'll call this an individual portion of cereal." But then there will be some random large thing and I go, "OK...looks like the girls get a king sized candy bar" lol.

    You actually did choose the doll notebook and pen that came together, coincidentally! Both CYO accessory items from the same set.

    I had that same or very similar water bottle as you…but it was impossible to clean. Even with a bottle brush, there were always hard to reach blind spots. How do you clean yours? 😅 I only ever put water in it and yet still it got gross.

      Good question - that was a freebie from work and I rarely use it because it's not insulated, so I don't think I've had it get gunky yet. But thanks for the heads-up. I'll keep a close eye on it each time it gets washed :)

    Snacks matter....so funny! Oh when you read this don't forget the apple! The average 10 year old girl is about 50-59" so most of the AG furniture is not quite the right size for an adult. Imagine the back ache you'd have washing dishes and we'll need a crane to help us off the toilet. Fun video.

      @agtakesover Před 2 dny

      Someone else pointed out that the comparisons would be more accurate on an 8-10 year old and I agree. I just don't happen to have any handy and don't want my neighbor thinking I'm a weirdo (might be too late for that) if I ask to borrow her child lol. And I did remember the apple - thank you!!

    This is so cute! I love this kind of nerdy stuff lol. I’ve been building a doll bedroom and collecting doll scale items to fill it (specifically plushies and books at the moment) so AG scale has been on my mind! It can be so hard to tell whether something is the right size or not 🤔 I’ve found that for mini plushies, anything up to around 6-8 inches seems acceptable, but 8 inches is a little big, and smaller ones around 3 inches seem a little small. For books, I’ve found that 6 inches is MUCH too big, and around 2-3 inches is better, but harder to find! I’m trying to fill a bookshelf with mini editions of actual books, and I’ve decided that up to 5 inches is okay because I can just pretend it’s a big coffee table version, lol! American girl scale is weird and I think it can definitely be stretched larger or smaller depending on your needs. Their water bottles are definitely off scale, though. Maybe they’re just a smaller bottle that only holds 400ml! I find that using a mini 6 inch AG doll can be a better indicator of doll scale, because you can compare the size of a real life item and a full size doll to the mini item and mini doll, and it’s more consistent.

      Oh geez, this was a long comment! 😂 oops

    • @agtakesover
      @agtakesover Před 3 dny

      That's a good approach. I've gotten mini-brands stuff and off brand stuff for the AGs and I sometimes say, "Welp, we'll just say this is the Costco bulk size version" or "Welp, we'll just say this is the travel size/snack size version" lol. I think you're right - you can stretch it a bit or be a bit smaller than scale and still pull it off.

    Fantasy cast your favorite book/movie/musical/TV show with AG dolls! It could be dolls you own, any dolls AG has produced or even design them all on the CYO generator. Or have them act out that AG theatre script!

    Oh sorry for a totally separate second comment but I meant to mention... I love this kind of video but the one thing I do wish is that you told us we're all these things came from because I am completely fascinated by miniature everything and I'm always looking for good new accessories for my dolls and especially for my mini me. For 12 years my family has traveled and actually posted photos of our family in Lego version... We have every prop you could possibly need for our Lego family... But now that I'm posting both doll and Lego content.... I need to bulk up my accessories big time.

    • @agtakesover
      @agtakesover Před 3 dny

      I did tell where quite a few of the items are from (water bottle, beanie, keychain, pick, compact, and hand sanitizer, for example). I didn't mention that the sunglasses are from Kavi's trunk, and the kleenex and nasal spray are from the Allergy and Asthma Set. Were there any others specifically you were wondering abut?
