Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I just bought Willa and Ashlyn for my daughter for Christmas, I did not buy them on Amazon but felt compelled to leave a review here anyway since I refer to the reviews here a lot myself. These dolls are the PERFECT size for small hands, I even love the difference between the 18" compared to the 14.5" dolls, they are just so much easier to play with, dress and stand. I originally bought the 18" Our Generation doll for my daughter over a year ago, she hardly plays with it, and I have to say, I think its way too big and heavy for her to carry around and dress. I have attached a video to show you the difference, I accidentally referred to the 18" doll as a Journey Girl doll but it is an Our Generation doll. They are really cumbersome, almost not enjoyable to pose and dress in my opinion. Now a word about the Welliewishers, since my daughter loves the show my hope is that she will take the girls with her everywhere and wear them out because that's what a doll should be, a companion. American Girl has really hit the mark with these dolls, they are really well made and easy to handle, although the faces aren't an exact match to the show, they are still very recognizable and they definitely portray their quirky personalities perfectly. The show is beautifully done with amazing artistry, it focuses on the friendship between the five girls with realistic scenarios dealing with anything from jealousy to considering other people's feelings all the while making it fun and magical. Now I realize that not every child has outdoor playhouses and bunny hutches, but every child has emotions like these girls and I think the show really helps young girls understand those difficult emotions when they do arise. Hope you enjoy them as much as we do!
