My daughter has been American Doll obsessed for over a year. I simply can't see myself spending $100 on any doll--especially one which I don't find that attractive. I was planning on buying the Target version which I liked OK, but didn't love--until I saw this on Amazon. It is just perfect. The outfit is cute. It's very easy for my four year old to take off/put on herself. There looked like there was an extra string hanging on the skirt...and I thought, what shoddy quality. However, when I got it out of the box, you took out two strings on the skirt to release some pleats. I can take the boots on/off, but my daughter csnnot. One thing to note is that she is not a full plastic/vinyl/??? doll. From about where her belly button would be to mid thigh is stuffed fabric...nice and soft. The doll is really pretty--and I was still able to match my daughter's coloring. She's in love with her doll--and I have $65 to spend on other things. Doll seems very well made and should last. Yeah!
About a week after getting her, we ordered this great brush on Amazon Doll Hairbrush in Pink, For 18" Dolls like American Girl Dolls, Doll Wig Brush. These dolls come with a wonderful, thick head of hair--and as this only adds less than five bucks to your total, I highly recommend it!

My 6 year old daughter wanted the American Girl doll for Christmas. I was not going to spend 90 dollars for it so I looked on Amazon and found these dolls. I thing they are cuter than AG dolls and much better price. I got this cowgirl doll because my daughter has pink boots with metal tips just like the doll. My only concern is the boots are very hard to pull on and off, and I am afraid it will break her leg. I read another review that said to put baby powder in the boot for better ease. Have not tried it yet but plan to. My daughter absolutely loves it and loves that it will stand by itself! I will definitely buy more of these.

This doll is gorgeous and my 4 year old daughter LOVES her (no way I could possibly return her at this point), but I was disappointed in the condition of her hair. Very rough texture and crimped due to manufacturer's packaging use of twisty-ties. I've tried a damp cloth and brushing it out but the poor thing still looks like she has unhealthy, damaged hair. We bought the "After School Cool" doll for our other daughter and her hair is just as bad. I looked at AG dolls for Christmas (ultimately deciding they were too expensive) and the hair is the big difference. AG dolls have wigs and their hair seems MUCH nicer than the rooted hair of the MA dolls. If it weren't for that, I'd say the MA dolls were much prettier!

We purchased this doll for my daughter. Her boots do come off with some doing. Second time and so on were so much easier. I think we finally figured out they don't just come straight off, but you do have to pull them off kind of down and then forward. Our five year old was able to copy this, eventually. We have purchased American Girl clothes, clothes and shoes for 18" American Girl like dolls from Olivia's Doll Closet and doll clothing through even a local Kmart designed for 18" dolls and all of these fit and are perfect for this doll. We are so thrilled and our daughter absolutely loves her.

I would give this three stars however my daughter loves this doll so she gets four. The reason I don't give it five is because the hair on this doll is atrocious!!!!
Fortunately, my four year daughter still thinks her doll's hair is the most beautiful in the world. I am forever putting it in a ponytail and trying to smooth it out. I've braided it even with no hope whatsoever. This doll is destined to have the white trash hair look forever. I'll post a picture sometime so everyone can have a good laugh. Truly, from the moment we took her out of the package, she immediately put on that rolled out of bed, wild sex on her back look. SIgh. You can't escape it.
