American Girl Addy Collectible Mini Doll

Available now through December 31, 2011, or while supplies last, I gave in and ordered the 25th Anniversary Collectible American Girl Mini Addy. The 6-inch vinyl and cloth doll and her mini abridged book, Addy's Surprise arrived today.

Set in 1864 Philadelphia, the story tells of Addy's first Christmas "in freedom." Having recently escaped slavery with her mother, Addy misses the family they left behind.  She also learns that freedom isn't free.

From her errand-girl job, Addy struggles to save extra money to buy a red scarf from a second-hand store as a surprise Christmas gift for her mother.  Not included in the abridged mini book, the unabridged version unveils a surprise that Addy receives for herself.

I was hoping the new mini Addy® would be presented in a totally new Addy fashion, but no such luck.  Available now through December 31, 2011, or until supplies are exhausted, Addy wears her Christmas dress and comes with an abridged edition of The Christmas Surprise.  The 6-inch (16.24 cm) version of the 18-inch (45.72cm) doll with the book from Americangirl.com is $22. 

Each American Girl doll has a story and books that tell them.   

Also new on the American Girl website are Special Edition Samantha Mini, Special Edition Kirsten Mini, Special Edition Felicity Mini, and a new display shelf for the mini dolls.  Click here to view.
