She's a lovely doll and well worth $40, in my opinion. I called AG the minute HHS showed up in the sale section and got what they said was one of the last Skylars in stock-- she was already off the website. My older daughter has Hallie and Logan so I needed Skylar and Gwen for my younger. I love how poseable the HHS dolls are-- they can sit criss cross applesause. I can't imagine you'll be disappointed in her and I expect five years from now she'll sell for more than $40.
