I was super-skeptical about this being Felicity's Elizabeth, but the more people talk about it the more intriguing it sounds. Don't forget, those of you who check the filings, that American Girl usually trademarks the entire name. Maybe that will offer a clue as soon as they do that. I might check the site and see how soon after filing "Nellie" they added her last name (if I do, I'll add it on here). Anyone know/remember what Elizabeth's last name is?
Aw, shucks. That didn't work...
"Nellie" was filed October 8, 2003
"Nellie O'Malley" was filed October 8, 2003 as well.
It seems odd to me that if this is Elizabeth that her last name hasn't been filed for trademark as well, since Nellie's was. But this could point to nothin'.
Elizabeth's last name is Cole.
Thanks! [img]biggrin.gif[/img] That will be great to use to look some more. It could be they're just trying to keep it a secret for now by not filing a last name. (Right now it's not there.)

Could it be that both Elizabeth and Elizabeth Cole were filed at the same time but only Elizabeth cleared and thus is on the site? I don't know much about how trademarks work. Maybe Elizabeth Cole could show up with the same file date once it goes through? Or is the file date always the date they appear on the site?
I have a feeling that Elizabeth is most likley Lissie's friend. Since they have really have head forward with the best friends since the popularty of Nellie (like anyone had any doubt) Mattel like when things are easy and sell more what a great idea to do friends and renew intrest in the older doll instead of making new ones. I think Mattel's first idea was to end the older dolls and introduce new ones that didn't work due to the uprising of Lissie so what to do the friends were the idea. New books and prime marketing.
I think you're right, Nellie Girl. It would be so easy for them to get the friends lines going...not as much expense involved as creating a whole new historical doll.
Someone stated in another post that Lissie is the third highest selling doll at AGPNY, and I would think that means much to Mattel.
I am really, really hoping this works out. To be able to own Elizabeth, and more of the early American fashions, would be a dream come true!!!!
Well, I guess we will have to wait til Elizabeth is out, as they had informed me at AGP, the next Historical doll will come out in 2 years. But I am also thinking that they are bringing Elizabeth out because to lift the sales in the Lissie line.
But if they also do this for all the dolls that will be you need to own like 16 Historicals! instead of 8! And all those clothes and accessories!!! that going to go [img]graemlins/money.gif[/img] ka-ching! for Mattel.
I wish they brought Ruthie out! She is my favorite from the friends collection! lol!

Even though for Mattel, the bottom line is more money, it's VERY nice to see them re-committing themselves to the Historical line.
