Stuck between 8 dollies,

Ok,so,I am getting another ag,cause I asked my mom.
I am stuck between:
Kaya
Emily
JLY4
Josie
Kit
Nellie
Jess,or the doll that comes after that.
Or the new JLY
Ok,pics and votes,pretty please~

My vote would be for Jess if you are even thinking about her. I love her and the thing is...when she's gone, she's gone unless you pay inflated ebay prices. If you decide after you get her that you would rather have a different doll, you can sell her for at least as much if not more after she is retired. I can't imagine selling mine, though.

I know what you mean.It's just,your suppossed to get the dollie that attracts you,right?

If Jess doesn't attract you, why is she on your list?

Well,She's a LE,and they aren't around forever.

Tough choice between Jess and Emily.
If you have an urge to get Jess go ahead and get her while the gettin's good. If you wait to get her after she retires I agree you'll have to pay an arm and a leg.

Yah,very true.

I suggest you give yourself some time to make the decision. Then spend about a week thinking about each possible doll. Take a catalog and cut out pictures of each doll you are thinking about.

For one week, concentrate on your pictures of Kaya. Get Kaya books from the library, look at Kaya pictures online (AG and here). Imagine Kaya is your doll. How does that feel? Imagine not getting any of the others on your list, how does that feel?

Then move on to the next. You might even keep a list of what you like about each doll during that doll's weeks. After you've gone through your whole list you may find you have answered your own question clearly, or at least narrowed the field.

If you love Jess, get her now while she is $87. However, if you are thinking about Jess simply because she is LE and there are other dolls you like more, than Jess is probably not the doll for you. It is easy to get caught up in the idea that she is LE and feel a little panic about getting her now while you can. If you are collecting the LE dolls, get her. If you think she is too cute to resist and she's calling to you, get her. But if it is just the marketing-- just that she is LE-- think about that before you buy. If there is another doll you truly love, go for that one instead.

I have Jess. I love Jess. I am NOT knocking Jess. But I get the feeling you're not going to be able to have every doll on your list so you need to make sure you get the doll you really want, the one that really speaks to you.

Let us know what you decide!

Thanks,everyone!I really appreciate it!Nope,I will experience each girl,first.Thanks for being so helpful(as always)lol. [img]wink.gif[/img] [img]wink.gif[/img] [img]wink.gif[/img]

This is a very hard decision I'm sure because all of the dolls on your list are so lovely. I would most likely wait and see if there are any new JLY's in Sept and then revise the list from that point. I think the idea of reading the historicals books first is an excellent one--perhaps one personality will really captivate you and then your decision will be easy.

I have Jess too and I debated quite a bit before getting her. She is a very nice doll but if she isn't calling to you I'd listen to that instinct. I also agree that you could get her now and always sell her later if she just doesn't fit into your doll family later.

Let us know what you decide!

That's a long list! Have you read any of the books? That will help you decide big time.

I'd like to give you a word of warning about Kaya as a play doll. One of my Girl Scouts (I'm a leader) got Kaya last year for her birthday. She was choosing between her and another doll, and finally decided on Kaya because she loved how looooong her hair was. She has only had her since November and now this poor doll's hair is a mess! I have her here at my house because I am in the process of fixing it for her. So, if you want her for the same reason, just understand that kaya's hair is really almost too long to play with, it tangles easily, and hte ends get frizzy almost immediately after the hair is taken out of the braids.

That said, I am in a similar boat as you. I have a bunch of returns, and I was going to buy a bunch of Molly items, but then realized that I have almost enough for another doll. I have wanted Elizabeth since the moment I laid eyes on her. To me she is the most beautiful doll AG has ever made. But, I have two LE dolls, and wuld eventually like to have a complete set. I don't know if I will have enough money to buy two dolls by the end of this year, so I am seriously leaning towards getting Jess simply because I don't want to pay an arm and a leg for her later. And it's true, if I don't like her, I can alway sell her later on eBay and get at least my money back.
