I've seen a number of people on here express different opinions on bangs.
How do you feel about the AG bangs?
I have bangs myself, (but won't be offended when people say they hate them), similar to Nellie's. I really like Nellie's bangs because they're not as thick as the other AG's with bangs, they're a thin, short layer. The thick bangs, that are on Samantha, Kirsten, Molly, and almost all of the AGTs up until recently, are a bit much for me. I'd love to see some more dolls come out with bangs like Nellie's.
Bangs are pretty popular again right now. Especially the thin, light, to the side kind. I think when I have kids, my daughters will all have bangs until they express a disliking in it, there's something childlike and innocent about bangs that I love.
I'm sure we'd all like to see more dolls without bangs. But is that a personal preference, or just because there's so many right now WITH bangs, and not a lot of choices of dolls without any?

Nellie is currently my favorite doll. My daughter Cassie recieved her for Christmas. Cassie has bangs also [img]smile.gif[/img]
I like dolls with and without bangs and people with and without!!!!!!

I love dolls with bangs! Why? Because I have bangs. I have had bangs all my life. As a young girl I had bangs like Samantha's, now my bangs are just like Nellie's Dolls with bangs are just a personal prefernce because that is the preference of hairstyle I have always worm. I know that had I never had bangs dolls with bangs wouldn't hold the same meaning.

I have VERY curly hair so bangs are a HUGE amount of work (gel, flat iron, etc) so I while I have had them before, I hate them. They remind me of massive amounts of time spent trying to fix my hair and never getting it to work.
Dolls aren't people so taking that into consideration I just don't liek them because they obscure the eyes. I like to see my dolls eyes. I don't mind the kind Lindsey has as much because they are swept away to the side and don't hide the face as much.

Out of some 50 odd 18" dolls in my collection, only two of them have no bangs. I definitely prefer dolls with bangs. No question, bangs look much better...

I've had bangs, and not had them; but I love the dolls with bangs because I think they look soooooo CUTE!! [img]biggrin.gif[/img]
I'm glad there are more choices now for all tastes, but the dolls with bangs will always be my favorites (except for Felicity, who is in a class by herself!). [img]graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
I just LOVE LOVE LOVE AG dolls!! [img]graemlins/heart.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/heart.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/heart.gif[/img] [img]biggrin.gif[/img]

I like variety - that's why I'd like to see more dolls without bangs. The historical line has such a nice variety of hairdos; I'd like to see more choices in the AGT line too. It's nothing against bangs themselves. [img]smile.gif[/img]

I like a variety too. Even with most of the faces being alike, the different hair styles really makes them look quite different.

Put me down on the no-bang list. [img]smile.gif[/img] I myself have had bangs most of my life. (I have them now.) A few times I have grown them out, only to discover that I like me better with bangs. LOL.
In spite of my own hairstyle, I prefer the dolls with no bangs. As some have said, the bangs that most of the dolls have are so thick and they look... I don't know... dated or something.
I also prefer little girls with no bangs. My oldest had bangs when she got her first haircut at age 2. My hairdresser convinced me to let them grow and I am so glad I did. For us, no bangs means more options... and I don't have to worry that their bangs will be hanging in their eyes if we miss a trim now and then. [img]biggrin.gif[/img]

I cut bangs in 2nd grade in the mid 80s when the curly fluffy bang was so popular. Let me tell you, I had curly fluffy bangs, with my thick, frizzy, curly hair they were a disaster.
Therefore I don't identify with bangs at all. When I got my AGoT the only one without bangs was the textured black hair dark skin doll, so mine has bangs. So she isn't like me. I am so glad they are adding no bangs dolls. Now I need to figure out how to convince the husband I need a new AGoT (or 2) AND Elizabeth and Nellie. (And if they release a "Girl of the Year" instead of just every 2 year LE's I'll really be in trouble)
So yes, I would like variety. I don't mind that most of the Historicals have bangs, but I really wish I could have had an AGoT without them.

I prefer the AG dolls without bangs. It's not that I don't like bangs, but I just think it is easier to style the hair and such when the doll has no bangs, especially because all the dolls with bangs (except for Nellie) have very thick bangs that start at the top middle of their heads.
