To expand a bit: Mattel bought Pleasant Company in June, 1997. In September, 1997, Josefina was first released and was the first American Girl doll to be made in China. Before that the dolls were made in Germany and the clothes were made in China. And in the beginning, the clothes and the dolls were made in Germany.

There is a huge difference in the type of vinyl used for the dolls made in Germany vs. the dolls made in China. By 2002, when the AG of Today came out dressed in the urban outfit (gray striped hoodie, navy quilted vest and blue middie skirt) all the dolls were made in China. The PM (pre-Mattel) dolls made in Germany sometimes had body tags that say made in Germany but often they have no body tags at all.

In the 8 years since Mattel took over American Girl, the dolls' face molds have changed from the round cheeked face molds originally made by the Gotz Company in Germany. Gotz was the company from whom Pleasant Rowland ordered the first 1,000 dolls to be sold as American Girl dolls and they manufactured the majority of the dolls after the company began (in 1986) and before 1997. Some of us, myself included, prefer the quality and style of the dolls made in Germany to those made in China.
