Hello
We are New Zealanders and would like to buy a Kirsten American Girl doll for our daughter for Christmas as a big surprise, as she really would like one.They are VERY expensive for us however due to exchage rate and postage( postage alone is $45 US !!).She loves all the books but this doll is her favourite .

Please can you tell me will the hair hold up to being brushed and the doll to being played with a lot( but by a careful 10 year old).She really wants a doll, she can do the hair of .

Are the clothes good quality also? I want this doll to be played with not just looked at..LOL.Can ANY of the clothes fit any of the dolls? She would like to mix and match I am sure...

Are they really as good quality as I have been led to beleive? My middle daughter wants a Vision Forum Liberty doll....Has anyone one of those ?

Both of these girls have had a hard year health wise so we really want to bless them this Christmas with a BIG surprise.Normally we would NOT spend so much on one gift...Hoping to hear back.
God Bless
