I have received a lot of correspondence about Samantha’s retirement. All are in agreement that retiring Samantha was a huge mistake.
Does it make sense that one of the three original American Girl historical dolls would be retired? Did anyone notice how fast her items sold out?
A few years back American Girl announced that Felicity was being retired. The public was outraged and eventually American Girl decided to keep Felicity. This is after the prices for Felicity items sky-rocked on eBay.
So the big question is…will Samantha have the same future as Felicity or will she remain retired?
Personally I feel it is an injustice to retire any of the original three historical dolls. They are the cornerstone of American Girl dolls and should always be part of the line.
