Deluxe Reading Update

 I have been working on the Deluxe Reading Kitchen for a while.   I keep getting closer.   In this update, I have found that the food boxes have codes on them.  Here are four away to count the items, note the B & C both count to 176.  The codes do help you get to the 176, you will also not that there are some codes that have no product.  Are they missing items or just codes not used?

Column A is working up with the multi food boxes counting as 6, not 1 or 4, not 1. 
 It also counts all the missing codes.  I count everything. 
Note that this column count 199.

Column B is counted the same way, know I am not counting the missing codes and some extra pieces. Note that this column count 176

Column C I now am counting the multi food as 1, I am missing codes. I am not counting hoses and miscellaneous pieces. 
Note that this column counts 176.

Column D counts boxes as 1, does not count the missing pieces, I am counting the hoses and miscellaneous pieces.  Note this count is not complete at 170.

I also found that the Rex soap power & Rex detergent have 2 codes.  
I believe that we should have 2 of each.

American Girl ~ Mini Doll Identy & Difference


In 1995 American Girl released the first mini-dolls.  The first dolls were Felicity, Kirsten, Samantha, Molly & Addy.  They came with dolls in meet outfits, pamphlets, and a book.  They were like their counterparts they had soft bodies & jointed limbs.  They had glass eyes and wigged hair.  They were smaller, had fatty bodies, and their skin tone was different.

The left is glass and the right is a decal.

In 2005 they made changes to clothes, books & buttons.  The eyes are now decals not glass and they are taller.

As the doll was released so were the mini-dolls.  As the dolls changed so did the boxes change.  The first dolls had Pleasant Co. tags and the latter had American Girl tags. 

On the 25th Anniversary in 2011, American Girl made some changes.  The dolls all have new Holiday clothes, and they released a display shelf.  It comes with a nameplate for each Holiday doll.  Dolls come with new holiday outfit & their book.

  • January: Samantha in Cranberry Party dress with Samantha's Surprise
  • February: Felicity in Christmas Gown & Stomacher with Felicity's Surprise
  • March: Kirsten in Winter Skirt & Blouse with Kirsten's Surprise
  • April: Addy in Tartan Plaid Dress with Addy's Surprise
  • May: Molly in Evergreen Velvet Dress with Molly's Surprise
  • June: Josefina in Christmas Dress & Mantilla with Josefina's Surprise
  • July: Kaya in an Adorned Deerskin dress with Kaya's Hero
  • August: Kit in Christmas outfit with Kit's Surprise
  • September: Julie in a Christmas outfit with Happy New Year, Julie!
  • October: Rebecca in Hanukkah Dress with Candlelight for Rebecca
  • November: Cecile in Cecile Special Dress with Meet Cecile
  • December: Marie-Grace in Party outfit with Meet Marie-Grace
Note I am not sharing the monthly correctly.  Please let me know the correct order if I am wrong.

In 2014 doll got a new look.  The bodies are now all vinyl bodies and the hair is now rooted.

On the 30th Anniversary in 2016 American Girl released a new line of mini dolls.  This line comes from the Beforever line.  Dolls are in new outfits, a new My Journey Book, and a stand.
Caroline & Melody are the exceptions as Caroline was archived & Melody had not yet formally debuted at the time of release.  The book is an abridged copy of their My Journey Books.

  • Kaya: Adorned Deerskin Dress with The Roar of the Falls
  • Josefina: Feast Day Finery with Song of the Mockingbird
  • Addy: Sunday Best with A New Beginning
  • Samantha: Special Day Dress with The Lilac Tunnel
  • Rebecca: Holiday outfit with The Glow of the Spotlight
  • Kit: Reporter Dress with Full Speed Ahead
  • Maryellen: Birthday Dress with The Sky's the Limit
  • Julie: Mix-Print Maxi Dress with A Brighter Tomorrow
In 2019 American Girl introduced modern mini dolls.  They were released as components to the Smart Girl's Guides kits.  There were six dolls to choose from.  Dolls come dressed in a miniature version of the Stay True to The Real You Tee, jean leggings, pink panties, and plastic blue bow flats.  They were initially not available to purchase separately from the set.  Later dolls and kites were sold separately online at a discount, and dolls were initially valued at $25.00 but sold for less.

These dolls are categorized as follows:
  • #1: Blond Hair, Blue Eyes, Light Skin (10) (Mini Classic Mold)
  • #2: Brown Hair, Brown Eyes, Light Skin (10) (Mini Classic Mold)
  • #3: Brown Hair, Brown Eyes, Medium Skin (20) (Mini Josefina Mold)
  • #4: Auburn Hair, Blue Eyes, Light Skin (10) (Mini Josefina Mold)
  • #5: Dark Brown Hair, Brown Eyes, Light Skin (10) (Mini Classic Mold)
  • #6: Dark Brown Hair, Brown Eyes, Dark Skin (30) (Mini Addy Mold)

All of them were retired with the retirement of the Smart Girl's Guides Kits

First doll pleasant co., Second doll Mattel, Third doll all-vinyl

Girl of the Year and Contemporary Characters Mini Dolls

There was no mini doll of the year before Saige Copeland's release. Saige Copeland & Isabelle Palmer dolls had soft bodies.  And Grace Thomas has an all-vinyl body.  

Tenney Grant also received a mini-doll, but her companion Logan did not; neither did Z Yang. Gabriela's mini-doll was not available with her release; it was available by July 2017.  No Girl of the Year characters after Luciana have received mini dolls.

In 2021 a miniature version of Just Like You 88 was included as part of the Day at the AG Cafe set.
