Mini's Found on Zulily

These three American Girl Mini dolls were found on Zulily.


These American Girl Mini dolls are currently on Zulily, but the campaign ends soon. I ordered them in September.

As illustrated in this photo, their complexions vary.


Described as Smart Girls, they are 6-1/2 inch all-vinyl dolls. Two of my dolls use the Cécile Rey head sculpt with different complexions and hairstyles. The other uses the Nanea sculpt. 

Their graphic T-shirts are better visible in this close-up.


Dressed identically, their white T-shirts read "Stay True to the Real You." These words are written on a white star and surrounded by four smaller stars. They wear denim Capri pants and turquoise flat slippers that have a molded bow at the toe.

With the deepest complexion of the three, this doll has straight brown hair styled in two ponytails. View her on Zulily here.

This medium complexioned-girl has brown rooted hair styled in a side ponytail with curly ends. View her on Zulily here.

The Nanea sculpted girl has the lightest complexion of the three. Her darker brunette hair is styled in a low ponytail with straight ends. View her on Zulily here.

Priced $12.99 each, they are available on Zulily. Either one or all are perfect for larger dolls to hold. They also make great gifts.

Playscale Fashion Dolls and American Girl Minis

Left-to-right, back-to-front are 11-1/2-inch fashion dolls and 6-inch Mini American Girls:  Janay and Kaya; Desiree and 25th Anniversary Special Edition Cecilé Ray; Grace and Christmas Addy, Kayla and Original Addy.  Note:   Original Mini Addy has inset eyes.  All others have painted eyes. 

After reading a post over at Fashion Dolls at Van's Doll Treasures where she uses mini American Girl (AG) Cecilé as the daughter in her Morgan family, I paired the mini AGs in my collection with 11-1/2-inch fashion dolls. While I do not create doll families, I wanted to further illustrate for those of you who do that the mini dolls can work quite well as playscale children.

Because most mini AG dolls wear period costumes and have period hairstyles that date back to the 1700s (Kaya), redressing and restyling the hair will be in order for many.  Original Addy's hair is wigged.  All others have rooted hair.  Kaya's two side braids remain a current hairstyle for young girls.  A photo of the other dolls' hair from the back is shown next.

Cecilé's hairstyle is relatively current.  Christmas Addy has a pulled back and tucked under braid that is timeless.  Original Addy's French braid looks a little old fashioned. 


The heads, arms, and legs are vinyl. As Cecilé illustrates above, they have cloth bodies.  The dolls retail for $24, which includes a mini abridged version of one of their books. 

At the time of this writing, the following minis are on sale at the American Girl website:

Caroline Mini Doll $10
Marie-Grace Mini Doll $10
Cecilé Mini Doll $10

The sale price is subject to change at AG's discretion.

If there is an American Girl store in your area, check the price there to possibly save on shipping and have fun creating your doll families or fun just enjoying the dolls.
