Whaaaa?
Ok, so "Adventures in AG," our guest reviewer, had come up with the idea to give away a handmade outfit occasionally to our readers. But now she is moving across the country and her idea was put on hold. However, we have this doll here that we'd like to give away to one of you, with her Just Like You outfit (shown in the pictures below), the "Fun with Your Doll" book, and a brand-new handmade outfit. So we are sort of borrowing our guest reviewer's idea for a little while and putting our own spin on it.
Whoooo?
What doll are we giving away? A #25 Penny purchased on October 11, 2008 to play the role of Stella Grant. (See the first picture below.) Honestly, when Penny opened up the AG dolly box it was one of the most disappointing dolly box openings of her life. Stella just didn't look like the Stella Penny had in her head. But she couldn't decide whether to return the doll or not. Who would be Stella if she returned the doll? So she used the #25 for modeling some clothing, but most of the time "Stella" was sleeping in her room/box (like a typical teenager).
Months later, while browsing the American Girl Playthings board Penny discovered that some dolls were being made with a slightly different classic face mold! And guess what- our October #25 has this new face mold! That is why she didn't look "right" to Penny.
After Penny learned this, she had to decide whether or not to try and get a new #25 without the different mold. So she broke down and ordered a second #25. Yes, she is crazy. CRAZY. But this new #25 has the "right" face mold! Penny couldn't have been happier! (Plus, her eyes were even and the same size! Yippeee!)
This brings us to the October #25. Yes, we have had her here for several months but she isn't really "Stella" and it would be slightly silly to have two #25s in the same house. There are already too many dolls here and a huge line to the dolly loo. ;)
So are you looking for a #25 with the "new/different" classic face mold? If so, you can get one for free from us! You don't even have to pay shipping! Just leave a comment to this post with your first and last name. There will be a names-in-a-bucket drawing on July 31st and one winner will be chosen!
Feel free to ask us questions in the comments as well. No one else besides Penny and I should be able to see them, if I switched the settings properly. (I'm not really a blogging wiz...) So ask anything! But be sure to leave us your name if you want to win the doll!
Here is a guide to the pictures below!
First four photos: The October #25 which we are giving away to one lucky reader!
Last two photos: The new #25 on the left being compared to the October #25. Our new Stella is wearing striped socks and her new Jack Skellington the Pumpkin King chucks. New Stella looks taller because she is wearing sneakers, not because October #25 is really short. ;)
Can't tell the difference? Neither can I, but Penny insists they are different and keeps showing me the AG Playthings thread to prove it. Heehee.
So please enter our drawing if you want the October #25 and feel free to ask us questions! Sometime in the next few weeks we will do another post showing off the handmade outfit that will come with the doll. So stay tuned folks!
