Meet Saige!

Hola peeps!

Here is our "Meet Saige" post with some review points in it.

WARNING: Lots of pics in the post.

The next two weeks of doll posts we'll dedicate to Saige items.

______________

Like Periwinkle, we bought Saige in DC and shipped her to ourselves.

Some shots while she is still in her box.

DW Top Tip: If you want to see any of these shots larger, simply click on one and you will be brought to a larger slideshow that you can click through.

Her ring is taped to the inside of her box.

Saige out of the box.

In her hairnet.

Out of her hairnet.

A cute hairstyle.

But we aren't as gaga over it as most people seem to be.

But if you combined Brave's Merida with Hunger Games' Katniss...

this is what you'd have.

Boot shots.

Perfect design and color.

Ring shots.

All plastic -- but it looks good on.

Dress detail.

Belt is like a woven tapestry.

It is a part of the dress and not removable.

Unless, you know, you cut it out.... Don't do that.

Back of the dress.

She comes with pierced ears and one set of metal earrings in her ears.

Playing with the lighting so you can see the design of the earring.

They are silver cactus flowers.

Our Saige has two different color turquoise eyes.

Yep.

Normally this would annoy us.

But we are okay with it.

This is the doll we liked the best in the store. :-)

She has some dust in her left eye; we'll have to clean that out. ;-)

____________

Overall, a very good rating from us.

Beautiful doll.

Lovely hair color.

We look forward to using her as a model.

A lot of people think she is too close to Nicki.

But we don't own Nicki, so that is fine with us.

We do have #33, but Saige is different from her in our opinion.

We are glad to have a blue-eyed red-haired girl that has the red hair of Felicity.

And we hope that AG will see how popular this hair color is and use it in some of their MyAGs in the future instead of just the strawberry blonde of #33.

To us, she looks like Brave's Merida.
American Girl should have released her last year if they were smart with marketing.
But have they ever been that smart with marketing?

We kind of wish her hair part was on the side and not in the center.

But we aren't about to rip off her wig and reposition it.

We'll live with it.

And this way, she can also serve as a historical girl.

Nice meet outfit with potential.

Really, really nice boots that will go with a lot of outfits.

Dress is pretty.

Shows the power of a well-fitting jersey dress.

Would have liked a leather vest with it that matches the boots.

Ring is pretty cool -- but probably can be lost pretty easily.

We thought it would latch onto two/three fingers to help it stay on, but it just goes on the one finger.

We also bought her Accessories set, so that review will be forthcoming as well.

The next two posts are about Saige's hair and then her eye color.

And then after that more Saige item reviews. :-)

Let us know if you have any questions about Saige!

We'll be happy to answer them.
