Another old AG love here. I too was into it when it was the 5 of them. I think it started in 2nd/3rd grader when my teacher read us the meet Addy book, and then we started flipping through the catalogue. I decided I wanted a doll for my birthday or chanukah, don't remember which, and I'm pretty sure I wanted Samantha because I thought she was pretty but my family convinced me to get Molly because I looked like her(greeat). Got Samantha the next year, think I had bought most of their books by then. Unfortunately my best friend since I was 4 broke Molly's arm off playing with her. And then there was a fire and I lost both of the dolls...sad.
But fun times. I remmeber a friend of mine had Addy in third grade and I had Molly and we went to each other's houses to celebrate their birthdays. And eventually for one reason or another I think I eventually read all of the books on the 5(Kirsten and Felicity being the other two).
Also agree that I loved the historic nature of the girls, particularly their stories. And I used to loove to read about all the accessories, but thankfully never got myself to the point where I had to buy them.
"If there was a Mount Rushmore for Broadway scores, "West Side Story" would be front and center. It snaps, it crackles it pops! It surges with a roar, its energy and sheer life undiminished by the years" - NYPost reviewer Elisabeth Vincentelli
It kept getting tangly so I cut it. It's not as pretty anymore.
