I have an American Girl doll that was given to me by a teenage girl. I was told this doll was Samantha; however, this is like no Samantha doll I have ever seen. She has the long brown hair, however, it is thick and straight like the today doll?..not curly like the typical Samantha doll. She also has blue eyes, not brown. At this point I would simply assume that the girl I received her from was mistaken and that this doll is an American Girl "Today" Doll; however, the body has a 1986 tag sewn on the side. She also came in Samantha?s original clothes with the early German tag dated 1986. Is it possible that this blue-eyed straight haired doll is indeed Samantha?? Were there any early Samantha?s produced like this?? I know that the American Girl Today dolls were introduced in the 90?s, so I?m not sure how this doll could be a Today doll; however she is like no other Samantha doll I have seen before. I am truly hoping that someone might be able to shed some light on this for me. I would be grateful! Thanks!!
