BeForever Felicity in just 5 more weeks!

The current set of unconfirmed information for Felicity remains largely the same.

* Felicity is to debut on February 9th

* She will be available online and in flagship stores Chicago, NYC and LA

* She will have some launch events, presumably just at the flagship stores (perhaps a craft or small give away?)

No word yet if she or her collection will be offered in the new box styles but the rumor is that ALL AG dolls and doll lines will eventually be moved to the new box styles.

An alternative rumor is that only Felicity's book/s will be released on the 9th and the doll debut delayed until August. 

The rumored meet dress has a wonderful brocade pattern stitched into the fabric.

The underskirt is an attached panel and not separate from the overdress, which is a move away from the more realistic two-piece construction some of Felicity's earlier outfits.

The shoes are definitely left-shoe and right-shoe constructed and seem very similar in construction quality to Felicity's original meet shoes.

Overall, Felicity's meet outfit seems to be a strong effort with striking fabric choices. The dress seems quite grand for a daughter of a general store merchant but I am more than willing to give it narrative leeway. There has not been any other leaked outfits yet, so it does leave me wondering if it will be Felicity + a Collection or perhaps just a "special edition" doll without any extra outfits.

At this point I am mostly on pins and needles wondering if American Girl will mar BeForever Felicity' launch with the new box style.

Thank you again to Rachel Koppleberger for sharing her glorious find with us at Poppets & Posies!

Poppet Peeks: Gabriela's Performance Case

Another peek into GOTY 2017 Gabriela McBride's world! 

The rumors said a performance case, the one-to-one mirroring of GOTY Marisol's collection forecast this case, but now we see an image of it. Thank you to Hello Savings for giving us permission to share her photo!

What to love:

A laptop! I love it and it has been ages since one has been made.

An electronic drum kit. Pretty cool and also about time. Will it actually work??

Old timey retro microphone. It is cool.

What to question:

I wonder how expensively this will be marked up.

Depending on price point, there is not much to this accessory overall in terms of goodies.

This is about as unimaginative of a performance case as one can manage--the trunk itself is a rehash of Marisol's performance case. 

vs

The added wheels of the trunk is a nice upgrade, but the idea of the case is still a bit flat. I just want the laptop and maybe the electronic drums if it works...

I hope I do not "need" this accessory! Lol.
