New AG Stuff!

So AG came out with some new things recently so I am going to do a review/rant! Please note these are my own opinions. If you do not agree with me that is fine, I am just stating my opinion(: I decided to do this because a lot of people are reviewing the new items and I wanted to make a new post :P I am not goibng to review every new item. I am only going to do the ones that I think are more interesting.

So here is AG's newest doll, Caroline! First off, she is pretty but as Anna basilmentos said, she looks like a Barbie. She is blond, blueish eyes, and a pink dress, just like a barbie! Caroline is also not that unique from other AG dolls. The only really "unique" thing about her is her eye color. I really wish AG made other dolls besides historical with Caroline's eye color and Ruthie's eye color. Now don't get me wrong, Caroline is very pretty! But she's just not...very unique. She has the classic face mold and blond hair, which most of AG's dolls have. A lot of her collection is like other historicals' items. Another thing I am disappointed about is the prices of everything! AG keeps raising prices :/ Caroline, her book, and accessories are $124! I do not think I will be purchasing Caroline but she is very pretty(:

I am not going to say my opinions on the rest of Caroline's collection because there are tons of opinions on that stuff :P I'm going to go straight to the MAG stuff! :D

So this is AG's new Dreamy Nightstand that sells for $58! I actually really like this! I think the the stand is really cute and I love the little accessories! But this is really expensive :/ and the drawer isn't very big. You can make one of these yourself by buying a jewelry box or little drawer from a craft store and glue it to wooden dowels or cardboard or anything else you can think of.That would cost way less than this and be just as good and probably have more space.

This is the Casual Chic Outfit that sells for $34. First off, the prices of outfits are increasing- a LOT! It used to be $20 for a shirt, pants, shoes, book, hanger, bracelet, hat, and necklace. Now it's $34 for a shirt, pants, shoes, and a hat. Another thing about this outfit is that it reminds me a lot of other MAG outfits. It is kind of a mix between the Cozy Sweater Outfit and the Pretty in Plaid Dress. Personally, I don't find this outfit very appealing. All there really is in this outfit is a purple shirt, purple shoes, plain jeans, and a pink hat. You could probably sew something like this or find an off brand doll outfit that looks just like this.

This is the Winter Chalet that sells for $150. When I looked at it for the first time I thought it was kind of cute....Then I looked at the price. I was so shocked! There had to be something super special about it so I looked at the other pictures of it. It turns out its not special! It's just a little house that a doll can barley fit in! When I saw the picture of the doll in it the doll looked so smushed!


Poor doll! It's feet are basically in the fireplace! I think the idea was really cute but there's no room! If I tried to do a stop motion in it she probably would not be able to stand up without hitting the roof! I think this was a really cute idea but it has no use.

This is AG's new Snowboard Outfit & Gear. Sold together they are $72! That is really expensive for an outfit and a doll sized snowboard! I personally don't like the pattern on this jacket...I liked the old one a lot better. Another thing is at a local toy store, I saw a snowboarding set for 18" dolls that looks EXACTLY like this. The only difference was colors and it was $25. I would probably buy that over this one.

This is the Purple Part Outfit that sells for $36. I think this is kind of cute. I really like the color and the bow. I also love the shoes(: It isn't AG's traditional red holiday dress. I like that it is a little different but it is almost $40...and $40 for a doll dress, tights, shoes, and headband is a lot of money :/

This is the Rosy Red Outfit for $36. I actually really like this dress! I really love the little ribbon on the shoulder and the gathering. The headband can be mixed and matched a lot as well. The shoes are cute but I feel like all of AG's shoes are the same-a solid color with a little detail on the side. I am considering buying this because I have never gotten one of AG's holiday dresses and I really like this one(: However, it is expensive.

And that's it for my review/opinion! What do you think of the new AG items? Leave a comment below! Thanks for reading this! :D

Layout(:

Notice anything different?(:

That's right!

I redid the entire blog! I actually didn't plan this AT ALL. I was only going to do a new banner because
1. I had a new doll
2. I didn't like the other one

But it ended up looking funny because the banner was purple and everything else was pink.

I'm not crazy about the BG :/ I mean, blogspot didn't offer anything purple so I had to find a different picture. I know it's a little hard to see things but I hope you don't mind!

But good news for those of you who don't like the new layout!

This is COMPLETELY temporary!

The only reason I changed the banner (which caused me to change everything else) was because I hated the old one! It was resized funny and the picture was really ugly xD

But in a couple months I will re do everything!

Anyways, school is SUPER busy so sorry if I don't upload much :/ I will be trying to post a lot here! :D

Anyways, thanks for reading!

Let me know what you think of the new layout!

Do you like this one of the old one better?

Thanks!

Video Overload :o

ALERT ALERT. VIDEO OVERLOAD.

AHHHH I have SO many videos to post! I'm trying not to post more than 4 videos a week but its so hard because I have some videos that have deadlines! I'm holding auditions for something and I made the video but I keep having to delay when I upload it :/ I also wanted to do weekly AGSMs but I really don't know!

Unfrosted is just making things harder. I also wanted to do a thank you for 2,000 and maybe a couple more videos for that but I honestly have NO idea when I can get those out. I have a lot of videos that still need to be edited. What should I do?

However, I am getting a good turn out with Unfrosted! I'm happy how it's turning out(: I also I've been trying to hold daily tinychats! So yeah xD Summer has flown by and its coming to an end kind of soon :O

But yeah xD that's enough updates right now xD This wasn't really a good post xD but please let me know what I should do.

Thanks!

Summer Movie(:

Hi!

 I know I posted a couple days ago xD I just wanted to update you guys on my summer movie!(:

Anyways, I have never actually done a summer movie! I did a Halloween special I never ended up finishing xD I might this year....idk :P I didn't really like it!

STORY TIME(: *ahem* So, here is what happened with my summer movie:

Anyways, I was sitting in my room one day, about to go to bed and looking at this food set I had for my dolls. And I thought about movies. I decided I wanted to base a movie of the food set, which was of course CUPCAKES xD. Anyways so the main character is a baker(: Then I though for a while and the rest of the movie flowed out! I then had an entire movie planned! 

The next morning I decided to film it. I really wanted to have a real trailer. The only time I did one was for AGAIN my Halloween special. And that time it wasn't even a real trailer. I didn't use clips from the actual movie. It was very unpolished. So I started filming and filming. After a day of filming I had the first 2 parts of the movie. The night before I had planned out what would happen in each part and had come to the conclusion I would have around 4 or 5 parts total. Each being around 7-15 minutes.

I am extremely happy with the results. When I first started shooting it was perfect! The first part of the movie happens indoors with a couple outdoor scenes. Which was unfortunate because that day, someone decided to put a heater or something on xD Anyways, I filmed that and the whole first part. Then I watched it. I had made a mistake with the names. *face palm* I was about to re-film the clip but then I realized I did it with almost all the clips including that character. I decided I would switch the names and edit out the wrongs ones.

For part 2, most of it was filmed in a poorly lit area. I thought it really fat in with the who scenario so I left it. So part 2 has some bad lighting but it is intentional.

I have yet to film the rest of the parts! I am so excited to see it come together! I am hoping to get all the parts done by the end of this week, if not earlier. Then I will release the trailer either at the end of this week or next week. I decided I will release each part once a week. So the schedule would look something like this(keep in mind these are estimates):
July15- Trailer
July 22- Part 1
July 29- Part 2
August 5- Part 3
August 12- Part 4
August 19- Part 5 (if there is one)

These are total guesses though! I have no idea when they will really be up!

Well...thanks for reading this awfuly long blog post(:

Comments are appreciated!

Dolls, dolls, dolls!

So.

I want more dolls xD

Yeah yeah I know I just got Reagan xD

But I have other dolls I want (actually they aren't really dolls you can get at AG xD)

I really want :
 *To eye swap one of my dolls
*A boy doll

So anyways majority of my dolls have brown eyes. I love them but I really want variety in my dolls. So I really want to eye swap one... I won't say which one :P With blue eyes.... (it's probably obvious xD) But the problem is...I really don't want to pay for another doll. Which is funny because duhhh you have to pay for a doll to get one xD

Anyways...the other doll I want is a boy doll. Now you are probably gonna go all
"Everyone wants a boy doll! You are just copying!"

To be honest... I've actually wanted a boy doll for the longest time. I just never REALLY thought about it because I wanted Reagan. Now that I have Reagan I can think about other dolls. I want a boy dolls because:

1. I really want to customize a doll!
2. A boy doll would really be helpful in videos
3. The boy dolls on AGTube turn out really well!

But I need ANOTHER doll. So basically I would need 2 more dolls :/ The boy doll would probably have either gray or green eyes because those are the only eye colors I don't have.

So basically...what I'm asking I guess is.... Are there any of you out there that are selling your dolls? They can be super beat up xD I mean the eye swap doesn't really matter as long as the eyes are in good condition. Actually...what might happen is I would eye swap and then sell the other one xD idk yet but yeah!

I am making a video about this too but thought I would post this in advance. Please let me know(:

2,000 Plans(:

HEY HI HALLO.

I'm trying to update my blog a LOT. I really love blogging and stuff(:

Anyways....back to the post... xD This is about 2,000 subscribers. I am about 500 away. I am shocked. Literally. I never thought I would get this far. I only DREAMED about 1,000. I NEVER in a million years thought I would reach that goal. And I want to thank all of you for that(:

When I got 1,000 it was during school and I held a contest. Well  when  I mean IF I get 2,000 I wanted to do something big for you guys. I probably won't hold a contest.... Everyone asks me to but I spend my own money on that. And I just had a contest. I want to do something different.

Here are some ideas I had:
*Movie (I don't know if I will have enough dolls. But about what?)
*HUGE Stopmotion (About what?)
*Music video (songs? storyline? or fun?)

So PLEASE comment down below with your DESCRIPTIVE ideas(:

If I pick your idea...You might earn yourself a shout out! :D

Thank you SO much you guys(:

Peace out(:

P.S. I added some polls(: Go vote! :D
