Hello everyone! I did a post just like this when I first started blogging, and I wanted to see how my thoughts have changed now that I've gotten older, plus there are several dolls that weren't out yet when I made my first post.
If you're not super familiar with AG dolls, Girl of the Year is basically when they center a story around a modern girl, and sell her only for a year [unless you can find her on ebay]. I like the GOTY line, though I feel like some of their newer ones aren't that original. I definitely prefer the historical line, but this one is good, too. Without further ado, let's get started.
#21: GOTY 2021 Kira Bailey
I just feel like Kira is kind of a bland doll. There's really nothing all that special about her, her outfit, her collection, or even her storyline [Lea from 2016 was all about traveling and wild animals, just like Kira]. She's just never really been a favorite of mine. She's cute, but I think there are better AG dolls out there.
#20: GOTY 2003 Kailey Hopkins
Again, I just feel like Kailey is kind of boring. She has a pretty small collection, and there's not a lot of stuff I like in it, plus the doll herself is cute, but nothing special. I do like her story's focus on environmentalism and saving the tide pools, so she gets points for that.
#19: GOTY 2017 Gabriela McBride
Yet again, I think Gabi is kind of bland. She's pretty, but her story is very boring. She's another dancer, and AG has had so many dancer GOTYs, so I just feel her story could've been more unique. I do like her purple and blue color palette and some of her accessories, though.
#18: GOTY 2015 Grace Thomas
I think Grace is pretty cute, but she just looks a lot like Chrissa, so I feel like her appearance isn't super unique. I do like her focus on food and baking, and some of her collection is really cool, but I don't think her story is one of the most interesting ones. Points for having Olivia Rodrigo in the movie, though.
#17: GOTY 2001 Lindsey Bergman
I think that Lindsey herself is pretty cute------I especially love her hair, and her story was pretty good, but I just hate everything else in her collection. Especially her Meet outfit.
#16: GOTY 2020 Joss Kendrick
I think that Joss' doll is pretty cute, and I like a few items in her collection [like her Nfinity cheer outfit], but not a whole lot, honestly. Her story also seems kind of bland------there have already been a lot of dolls focused on surfing/the ocean and/or cheer/dance, so she's just okay in my opinion.
#15: GOTY 2007 Nicki Flemming
I think that Nicki is a really cute doll------I especially love her curls, and I like her focus on dogs and animals, in general, but I've never read her books, so I don't know her story, and her collection isn't my favorite. There's nothing wrong with her. She's perfectly fine, just not my favoite.
#14: GOTY 2014 Isabelle Palmer
Isabelle has a lot of items in her collection that I love, and I think she's pretty cute, but, again, she's nor my favorite. I feel like ballet isn't a particularly unique idea for a doll, but, to be fair, she was one of the earlier dancer GOTYs, so it wasn't overused yet.
#13: GOTY 2008 Mia St. Clair
Mia is a cute doll! I like her Meet Outfit, and I think it's pretty cool that she's an ice skater. I like Mia, I just don't love her, and I really don't have all that much to say about her besides that.
#12: GOTY 2006 Jess McConnell
Again, I think Jess is really cute. I love her dress and her braids, especially. I also like that her parents are archaologists--------that's pretty cool. However, I haven't read her books, so I can't really judge her story. and her collection is just okay, in my opinion.
#11: GOTY 2019 Blaire Wilson
I really like Blaire's soft color palette, and I like a lot of her clothes and accessories. Her doll is cute, but not the cutest. I also don't think her story is particularly original [she's focused on cooking and food, just like Grace].
#10: GOTY 2005 Marisol Luna
Marisol was the OG dancer GOTY, and I think she was the best one. I love that she has a cat, I like her pink and purple theme [my two favorite colors!], and I like all of her dance costumes. They all look really cool. Her collection is small, but amazing.
#9: GOTY 2016 Lea Clark
I think that Lea's doll is incredibly pretty, and I love that she got to travel to Brazil. Her collection was cute, but not the best. I did find her books a bit boring, though-----especially when compared to her movie. Lea's super cute-----she's just not my favorite.
#8: GOTY 2022 Corine Tan
I think Corinne is really pretty! I love her partially teal hair, and her sweater looks super comfy! Plus, skiing is a cool new interest for an AG doll, and I like that she has a sister. The only thing that makes me like her less than some of the other dolls is that her whole theme is winter, and I really, really don't like winter.
#7: GOTY 2013 Saige Matthews
Saige is really pretty! I'm a bit of a horse girl myself, so I love that she loves horses. I also think her focus on art is pretty cool, and I remember really liking her books and her movie. Saige gets an A from me!
#6: GOTY 2023 Kavi Sharma
I'm so glad that AG made a theater kid GOTY! That's so cool! I think Kavi is pretty cute------I especially like her shoes, and I like most of her collection. Her dog is also adorable. I haven't read her books, so I don't know much about her story, but she seems cool.
#5: GOTY 2011 Kanani Akina
I think that Kanani is one of AG's cutest dolls! I love her dress and her hair and everything about her! She was one of the first GOTYs with a tropical theme, and I think I liked her books. I love Kanani so much.
#4: GOTY 2010 Lanie Holland
As an outdoorsy nature lover myself, I love Lanie's focus on nature and science. I think her doll is super cute, and I love her dress. I also read both of her books and they were some of my favorites. I think Lanie is super underrated and really, really cool.
#3: GOTY 2012 McKenna Brooks
I think that McKenna is absolutely adorable. I love most of the stuff in her collection-------especially her loft bed and hamster, and I think it's pretty cool that she's a gymnast [I've always loved watching gymnastics, even though I'm way too tall to do it myself, haha]. I really like her books, and I think her movie is one of the best ones.
#2: GOTY 2018 Luciana Vega
I don't know why, but I've always loved Chrissa. I think she's one of the cutest AG dolls. The Josefina face mold looks great on her, and I love her hair and her pink dress. I like that she's a swimmer, and that she has llamas for pets, plus I like that she's super into arts and crafts. I also used to LOVE her movie. I watched it all the time.
Well, that's my ranking of the GOTY dolls. Let me know which ones are your favorite in the comments.
It was very interesting reading about your opinions on these! I liked Kanani Akina, Saige Matthews, Corine Tan, Lea Clark, and Nikki Fleming the best on this list for different reasons. 🙂
ReplyDeleteThanks! Ooh, all of them are great.
