My Reactions to YOUR American Girl Doll Collections

- A while back, I requested submissions - pictures of your doll collections and/or doll houses. Friends, you DELIVERED. It was a joy to see so many wonderful collections and I'm excited to share them with you.
@kylacollects did this over a year ago, when I had first started my channel. She featured my dolls and I remember how nice it was that someone was willing to showcase other collectors' dolls. I'm happy to get to pay it forward and I'd love to do this again some time in the future.
The reaction to the dollhouse pictures I received is still in the works, keep an eye out for that video in the next month or two.
Some of the channels mentioned:
@DollandDinoMama (a typo has this as dollYanddinomama) in the video, but it's corrected here.

I love this video so much!!! Thank you so much for featuring my daughter and my collection! We were so excited to see our picture as it is the first time we were featured on CZcams! 🎉 we apologized our photo was grainy. I’m not sure why it looked like that. We are excited to see your doll house video! 🤩
You are so welcome! And YAY for your CZcams debut!
Lovely collections, creative displays and some really talented photographers. Thank you everyone for sharing!
I wholeheartedly agree!
“Scoot over ladies, my hair needs to breath” this was so funny! Aww thank you so much Kristie for your nice comments about my dolls. Somehow my Ruthie does have a wonderful head of hair. I love showing her off. I thought Kit looked adorable too in Claudie’s tap dancing outfit. ☺️ To answer your question, I do not have Ivy’s meet outfit so this is what she was in that day but she gets changed fairly often. I am not a huge fan of Ivy’s meet but would still like to have it someday to complete her. Blair is just Blair and I just think she is adorable. She does make a good Anne of Green Gables! 💕 Thanks so much for including my dolls in this fun video. 😃
I'm so glad you enjoyed the video. I think it would be cool to look at my collection through someone else's eyes :) Thank you for sharing your gorgeous dolls with us!
I would be happy to do that. Send me pics! Lol. You have a vast collection. It would take a whole video to just do you. Maybe I should do a collab with some other AGtubers to comment on your collection. 😉🥂
@@CherishedDollFriends That would be such a fun collab!
Let me work on that!
Also, feel free to share this link as a community post on your own channel :)
Oh man this was such a good video. I came back after the Grammys (red carpet on E & the actual awards show) to watch a second time. The first time it was so hard to focus on the actual video while following along with the chat as the 2 year old screamed and the 6 year loudly pestered my husband in the background. I must say that there are so many great collections out there and I loved seeing all of them. It’s so nice seeing all of the ways different collectors display and dress their dolls.
I also want to say thank you so much for showing my collection. It means a lot. This is the first time they’ve ever really been shown publicly. I’m working up the courage and time to actually post photos to Instagram since I now finally have an account. And very true - the dolls are kind of all over the house lol. It’s so cool to be able to walk down the hallway or look over while throwing a load of laundry in the washer/dryer and appreciate whichever doll/s might be there. I actually even have some dolls currently in the kitchen that I brought in there to dress in my recent Maplelea haul. They are lined up on the sideboard and I haven’t had the heart or frankly the energy to move them back to their appropriate spots yet. I actually kind of feel bad for the bulk of the collection in the basement doll room because I hardly ever get down there. Oh, and since I sent in those photos I got that 76 you recommended and unboxed Willa, 103, 86 and a second Corinne that I’m customizing. And I’m not really sure why I moved Garnet to that bottom shelf next to Laurel my 89 since he’s always been next to Caroline before.
I wondered if some of the folks who were active in the chat would go back and watch again lol. And it was my pleasure to feature your collection. I kind of love that it's all over the house and I get what you mean about feeling bad about the dolls in your basement being seen less. I do try to rotate mine fairly regularly because I know I spend the most time looking at whoever's in my office since they're my coworkers for the day.
Yay! So many amazing collections! I love seeing everyone’s personalities shine through their lovely dolls! Thank you AG Takes Over for sharing! I think I’d be awesome to do a video like this annually. I’m sure most of us will continue to grow our AG collections! 😊 With love, Gretchen 🦖 Doll and Dino Mama 🎀
Gretchen, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I don't know if you read the video description, but I put your actual channel link there because I think I might have misspelled it in the video. Hopefully you might get some additional traffic as a result. And feel free to post the link to this video as a community post on your own channel :) I think I'll try to make this an annual thing. It was more work than I anticipated so definitely not more than once a year lol. But totally worth it.
Wow, some absolutely amazing collections in this video! A bit bummed I forgot to send in mine, but I’m adding a few more dolls in the next month or so to really round off my collection, so maybe it will feel more complete if you do another video like this in the future. Thanks for taking the time to feature so many unique collections!
I wouldn't mind doing this again in the future (at most once a year) so maybe you can get in the next one.
Aww everyone's collections are so inspiring! Thanks for sharing my lil collection too ❤ Thankfully, the dolls did not fall off that ledge - the things we do for good lighting! 😂 And yes, that is Mia and I do admittedly love a good classic mould - the AG sale has since seen me adding Kavi and Corinne to the fam, really mixing it up lol
I'm so glad they stayed put on the ledge! Yes - my kingdom for more natural light in CONVENIENT places in my home lol. And your Mia is just stunning. If I ever get a Mia, blue will be her signature color for sure.
What an amazing video! I loved seeing everyone’s style and personality shine! Would love to see more videos like this!
Thanks - it took a lot longer than I expected to put it together, but I think it was worth it. I agree- videos like this are great. I included pics from every single person that submitted them. I could see that getting harder as a channel grows, but I hope to try to figure out a way to do this occasionally.
This video is awesome. I sew for my 18 inch dolls and the ideas I have gotten I will be inspired for months. This video is another winner 😍🤩💞
That's awesome. That's a bonus I hadn't even considered - viewers getting sewing inspiration :-)
Omg thank you girls!!! You made me feel welcomed! 😢❤
You're welcome :)
Thanks. Always enjoy all your videos.
Glad to hear it!
I loved seeing everyone's collections! The last photo was my favorite.
Oooh, so hard to pick a favorite!
Again thank u for having mine featured 🥺❤️ Kaya’s complete outfit and 76/Ben’s outfit as well were made by grandma and Kaya’s dress was made especially after she came without any clothes and the cape was so she could have something festive to wear with it ❤
Of course!
This was brilliant. I loved seeing all the collections and hearing your commentary. I had every intention of sending in my collection but I forgot to remember 😅 I’ll try to participate next time 😊
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I'm open to doing it again, but probably once a year at most, so a submission post might go out at the end of this year.
They're all stunning
Right!? I just loved seeing a mix of familiar collections and ones I'd never seen before!
A lot of beautiful dolls, and yes, please do this again sometime!
I'll probably do it no more than once a year, but I'm definitely open to doing it again. It took longer than I expected to put it all together, but it was worth it.
Everyone has such beautiful collections! Thanks so much for including me in the video 🖤
You are so welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed it! Feel free to share the link on a community post :)
great job I loved seeing the collections on the look out for the dollhouse video.
Aw, I'm glad you enjoyed it. There were far fewer submissions for the dollhouse video, but still plenty of good ones and it'll be a feast for the eyes.
Aww this was so sweet to watch. I love how kind and positive you are toward everyone. Seeing others collections is very fun, kind of taking a peek into how others think!
Oh, thank you so much. This one took a lot longer than I expected, but it was worth it. Maybe it's something I'll do once a year.
This was so fun! I think I could watch this over and over and not get bored. :) Thanks for including my girls. Yep, you are right that Grace is the only non-custom in my collection. And my 7 customs all have different face molds and all 8 girls have different eye colors. I agree with you re: Molly's BeForever outfit. I think it's adorable too and I love my Mini Molly in that outfit. I LOVE the tiny red saddle shoes and I LOVE that I know have 18" red saddle shoes thanks to AG's End of Season sale. :) Thanks for sharing all of these collections with us!
Yay for a video you could watch and rewatch! (and for me being right about Grace being your only non-custom). Thank you so much for sharing your collection!
Wow!! My collection has really evolved since I sent in that picture!! But I’m so happy to see that moment in my collection documented in agtube history 😁
Yes - it would be nice to see you do a side by side with this picture and a current one to point out what changed and why.
Also, feel free to share this link as a community post on your own channel :)
Thank you so much!! I had so much fun taking that picture for this video, you have no idea. I got Evette's pants off of a random set on Amazon from sooooo many years ag, it came with a matching purple top and everything. Everyone has such pretty collections, thank you for including meeeee!😁😁😁
You're welcome! I still haven't gotten around to making a video of all the dollhouse pics ppl submitted. It turns out doing these is pretty time-consuming. But it was so cool to showcase others' collections, so I will try to do a doll collection one again annually.
These are such amazing collections! Thank you for featuring ours in the video!
Of course! Thank *you* for submitting pics of your gorgeous collection.
Also, feel free to share this link as a community post on your own channel :)
i love therobotsevil2284 and hopes collection the most because they're such a nostalgic collections!! i'm so sad i completely missed the memo on this video, and hope you do it again some day, it's such a lovely idea. everyone has such a gorgeous collection ❤
It *is* a nostalgic collection! And I'm up for doing this again (probably once a year at most). So at the end of the year, keep an eye out on community posts and if I decide to do part two then, that's where the request for pics will be :)
Thank so much for featuring my collection. This was such a fun video to watch and I hope more people make a similar video like this. It was so cool to see everbody's unique collections.
Oh, I'm glad you liked it! It was time consuming but totally worth it. I could definitely see making it an annual thing since people clearly like getting to see so many collections in one video and having their own collections featured :)
Such a fun video! Love seeing everyone’s collections 🥰
Yay! Thank you! It was fun for me as well and I'm happy to get to showcase some collections to be seen by new eyes :)
What a wonderful video. I love these kinds of videos. Not only do we get to see some great collections but learn about other collectors as well. Thanks 😊❤
Glad you enjoyed it! I think I'll aim to do it again at the beginning of next year. It was totally worth the work, but it *was* more involved than I expected, so once a year seems doable :)
please do a part 2 i want you to see mine!
I'm up for doing another one, but it will be a while. I probably would do them once a year at most. So at the end of this year keep an eye out - I'll announce it via community post whenever I do another one. It was great to see so many ppl's collections!
thank you so much for including me, and for commenting on my dolls' outfits! i really love doll outfits and recently have been trying out new layers and color combinations on them :) i really love these types of videos and seeing so much variety in how people collect and display. (btw that is a 54, I didnt realize how much her hair was hiding in the picture haha). i appreciate all the work you put into presenting everyones photos !
You're welcome! And I agree - the variety is great. Thank you for sharing your collection!
Thank you so much for featuring me 🥰! As usual, I love your video! Put together beautifully ❤
You are so welcome! So I do need to know - what are the dimensions of that room? :)
@@agtakesover lol, it's about 12' x 8'. It's a spare bedroom. The shelves I have most of the dolls on are about 9' long. The way I have them standing, I can fit two rows of 27 dolls across the shelves. I bought 6 6' boards and cut two in half then mounted them on brackets. 😄
@@solelysingularsarah Well, I think you have done a PHENOMENAL job fitting so much in that space without it looking messy or cluttered. Absolutely beautiful.
@@agtakesover that's very sweet, thank you! 😊
@@solelysingularsarah Also, feel free to share this link as a community post on your own channel :)
I loved this video, such a fun idea and it was so interesting to see all of the collections. I feel like it's a great way to get to know the collectors behind them.
I totally agree! It was more work than I anticipated, but totally worth it. It's something I feel like I will do again since I enjoyed seeing so many collections and it is a nice way to really interact with other folks in the community.
Such a fun and unique video idea Kristie !! You come up with some of the best ideas for your videos. I watched this video twice because I just thoroughly enjoyed seeing everyone collections. All the dolls outfits, unique set ups. Just so many ideas running through my head for my personal collection. I'm always amazed with your videos great job Kristie 😊
Thank you so much, Emma! This one ended up being a bit more time-consuming than I anticipated but I know it means a lot to the people whose collections were featured, and I think there's a lot of inspiration to be found in others' collections - I'll definitely do it again - maybe an annual thing.
Yeah,I'm also sooòo bummed i missed this.I am only collecting AG Doll's a few month's. However i love my small AG Doll collection.i currently have 8 Doll's an i turned my bookcase horizontally to become a AG Doll house just till i find a reasonably priced AG House that can be delivered 😢. Hope you Kristie do another one hope to show you my AG Doll collection😊.Thankyou for this video,i enjoyed looking at all the different AG Doll collection's 🤗.You sounded like you have a cold if so hope your feeling better❤.Thanx again Great AG Doll video.
LISA
It took more time and energy than I expected to create this video, so the most frequently I would do it is once a year. But I think it was worth the effort so I'm definitely up for doing it again. Also, thank you for being concerned about my health. Sometimes I sound froggy if I do voice over work first thing in the morning (throat's gotta warm up) but I think you're right. When I filmed this I did have a bit of a cold. It was a stubborn one but I'm feeling better.
@@agtakesover
Kristie,I understand and thankyou ⁴ ur reply 😊. Happy to hear ur feeling better stay healthy and safe.
Lisa
❤❤❤❤ just love this video! Thank you so much for including pics of my collection. I’m wasn’t sure what you might like so I sent a few LOL. I absolutely do NOT sew sadly but I have managed to find some wonderfully talented seamstresses on FB, Etsy and in real life and they keep my Dollie’s looking absolutely amazing. One of my absolute favorites is the Mrs . Claus Christmas dress. I have tried it on girls in my collection but I always come back to putting it on Elizabeth because she looks perfect in it! This was a great idea for a video and I just love your commentary in it. Thanks again for including me and some of my collection.💕💕
And yes all of my dolls have on undies, that’s what happens when you grow up with a Mom that reminds you to always wear fresh undies every day, it spills over to even your doll collection!!❤❤LOL :)
I'm so glad you enjoyed the video. I am thoroughly enjoying reading everyone's comments. People really appreciate how much each of your personalities come through in your collections and I agree! This was a bit more work than I anticipated so I won't do it more than once a year, but I'm open to it becoming a recurring thing.
@@agtakesover ❤️
This was a great video. Loved seeing all the different collections. Thank you 😊
You are so welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
This was so much fun! Thanks for including me 😃🤗
You are so welcome!
So fun to see all the collections!
I definitely thought so, and I'm glad to see others are enjoying it, too.
I just had a creative idea how to store my dolls so they can stand up . I have a board and plastic drawer bins. I’m going to put the board on top of the bins hopefully there’s enough room.
Fingers crossed!
so many beautiful collections! these videos definitely inspire me to have the best collection i can have. maybe you’ll see me in the next one hahah
Oh, I'm so glad you enjoyed it. And I'm happy it was inspiring. I'm definitely open to doing this again in the future :)
I don’t collect her since she’s so old and rare but I believe the doll being the Makena is the very 1st Asian American girl of today/truly me doll released in the mid 90s
No, there's a non-AG doll behind Makena if you look under her arm. Go check it again. I think someone said it's a Rainbow High doll peeking through there :-)
@@agtakesover oh ok thanks for telling me at least I know now but for some reason I thought it was the doll I mentioned 😅
Love the video! Please do this again. My birthday is two weeks after Christmas so I didn’t submit as I knew more dolls were coming lol😅
I'm glad you enjoyed it. It took quite a bit of time to put it together so I probably won't do it more than once a year, but I'm definitely open to doing it again :)
Thanks so much for featuring my collection! So fun to see mine up there with so many other unique and lovely collections! ❤😊
You're welcome. When your collection came on the screen, my 4yr old ran to the screen and said, "RAPUNZEL!!" (we did just see Disney on Ice today, so Rapunzel was fresh in her mind)
@@agtakesover Oh my gosh, that just made my night! I love that!! 😍👸🏼
I really enjoyed this video! I think one of your goals this year is to interact more with your audience, and this certainly was a great way to do it. Thank you so much for putting this together.
Yes - I think I interact a LOT in the comments. And I've done the Q & A videos, which involve viewers. But this was a new level of audience interaction for sure. It was more work than I predicted lol, but totally worth it.
@@agtakesover oh, I totally agree. You have a high level of interaction with your audience. For that reason, I’m sure your individual approach has helped your channel grow so much. This video really gets everybody involved, or at least those who chose to participate and send you pictures.
@@AGTV4Life and apparently it motivated the others watching to make sure they get their pics in on time if the call goes out again lol.
@@agtakesover funny! Snooze ya lose.
@@AGTV4Life hard truths lol
Hope here :) both Rebecca and Joss have their original wigs, although Rebecca is about to get a wig swap because her original one is completely fried (the previous owner straightened it to try cover up the damage, but it's still impossible to get a brush through because of all the damage underneath). Joss was bought to be a custom pilgrim character, however I haven't gotten my act together and made her clothes yet, so she's currently dressed as Edwardian. I'm not really a girl of the year collector, but Mia was so pretty I couldn't resist. Those unique freckles! That amazingly thick wig! Mia is my 1950s Maryellen stand in most of the time because I don't care for Maryellen's bangs, but to me they look somewhat similar. At the moment she's wearing one of Addy's dresses though, because I can't bear to take Addy out of her Christmas dress (my absolute favourite) but i wanted somebody to be modelling my latest purchase (the kite flying dress).
Ooh, thank you for filling in so many blanks. I thought I vaguely recognized the dress Mia was wearing but I'm not versed enough in Addy's collection to feel certain. It's funny - Maryellen (like Courtney) is a doll where I'm team "love the collection, pass on the doll" so I can relate.
@@agtakesover Same here! I NEEDED Maryellen's strawberry dress and obviously that meant I needed someone to wear it, so Mia came to live here.
This was fun! I wish I knew about submissions. Maybe next time!
I'm definitely open to doing this again. It was more work than I predicted, so not more than once a year lol. But the work was worth it. When I ask for "audience participation" I typically do it via a community post on the channel, so that's a good spot to keep an eye on :-)
@agtakesover Okay cool! That gives me time to round out my collection more anyway 😆
Great video! That doll was a rainbow high doll Amaya!
Thanks! I thought it was so funny how she was peeking through there. Amaya the photobomber.
It’s actually Ainsley! I don’t have an Amaya.
I only have 1990's Samantha, 1990's Felicity (my favorite... shhhh), Caroline (my favorite era girl), Rebecca, and my newest who has quickly become my 2nd favorite Maryellen.
My 7 yr old has a new Beforever Samantha (I wanted her to have her generation of Samantha) and doesn't know it until her birthday party on the 17th... a new 88 she has wanted for two years.
Haha. I always feel a little bad when I share my thoughts on Felicity lol. I know she's very beloved. And there *are* some Felicity dolls I think are beautiful...a few ;-) That's exciting your daughter will be surprised with a doll she's been wanting for so long!
@agtakesover My love of Felicity and Caroline has a lot to do with her era... I'm a historical reenactor of those two eras... so the clothes for colonial and War of 1812 Ohio are my "comfort". I'm writing historical fiction books for both eras, so that's why I tend to stay with those two girls.
Maryellen is just gorgeous and I have been collecting vintage vinyls for years since my mom gave me her collection, so she feeds into my love of the 1950-1960's music.
Wow! I think I knew you were a historical reenactor (so cool) but I didn't realize you're also an author. There is SO MUCH talent in this doll collector community!
I love this video! Such a great idea! I was meaning to send pictures to you but got busy and forgot🙁I hope you will do this again sometime! ❤️I hope you have a wonderful day!!😃
I'm so glad you liked it. I might make it a once a year thing. It was more work than I anticipate lol, but worth it. So I'm definitely open to doing it again.
@@agtakesover thank you❤️ can't wait!😃
Fun! Will you do a second part to this video?
I don't necessarily think of it as a part two to this, but I think I'll aim to make it an annual thing.
I have 30+ dollies that I've been dying to show off! I also opened a CZcams account for them two hours ago, LOL
Finally I can’t wait!! 🥳❤️
It's been edited for a few weeks but I didn't want to be doing Christmas Haul videos in March lol. It all happens in due time ;-) I hope you enjoy it!
@@agtakesover thanks I most certainly will ❤️
For Stephanie J’s doll with a blue outfit because of her skin tone I don’t think it’s Lea
Are you thinking 28 or a different doll?
@@agtakesover it might be 28 but I’m not completely sure
Also, she doesn’t have Lea’s arched eyebrows.
@@ellenhantzsche-yk6lw Right. It didn't look like she did to me, but sometimes I don't trust my eyes lol.
How would I send my collection to you? I have some outfits actually crocheted for my willa
You'd just email me pictures. But don't do it just yet :-) I'm not sure when I'll do another one of these videos, and when I'm ready to (it's a lot of work) I'll make a community post asking for ppl to submit pictures. Thank you so much!
I love seeing everyone's collections - they are all so unique! @agtakesover The doll in the third picture you featured of mine (I'm Stephanie J.) is my #28, Ariana.
Thanks! I *thought* it was her but sometimes I just don't trust my eyes lol.
Thanks. Always enjoy all your videos.
I appreciate that!
