Luciana Live!
Wow! Luciana is showing up early in some venues. A lucky @agberkie is perhaps the very first to bring her home! Photos shared with permission.
Her meet dress belt-purse is removable.
Note Luciana's Accessories (silver backpack) and first indication the blue Flight Suit is not bundled with a big ticket item (yay!).

Luciana in the Wild!
Luciana!
Luciana appears to have medium tone vinyl skin, dark brown pinwheel eyes.
Her in-box accessories include the silver reflective collar necklace and a red heart charm on a string necklace.
Very happy to see a return to the lift-top doll box!

Luciana & Pantone Color of the Year 2018
I always enjoy looking at the intersection between Pantone's Color of the Year and American Girl's own Girl of the Year.
Pantone Color of the Year for 2018 is Ultra Violet.
Yes, Luciana's purple hair streak!
Allure Magazine calls it a "vivid-yet-not-quite-neon purple hue" and notes that it may convince even more people to try out purple hair this year. Check out the Allure link for more images of this shiny hue as found in hair and makeup products.

Far Out: Luciana Shoes?
Could these "galaxy" print shoes be for Luciana?
Thank you to American Girl Doll News for first sighting these sneakers--and her speculation that they might be for Luciana.
Luciana's Shoes?
The "galaxy" print is similar to Luciana's meet dress. Additionally, they look like probable candidates for her Space Camp Outfit with the Green Flight jacket combo image--the basic shape and hint of color hue are the same. But until we see more images to confirm these are Luciana's, they also could be a rejected prototype or belong to a different Truly Me outfit.
I love the print and color of the shoes. However, I am not a fan of the rough and unfinished canvas but canvas uppers are still a step above all molded plastic shoes as with the new TrulyMe meet outfit.
I am also disappointed by the lack of metal eyelets and cheap elastic instead of laces for the shoes. This cheap sneaker design has been a trend in AG canvas sneakers for a few years now and as recently in one of Z Yang's outfits. Remember some of the ornate and ultra-realistic sneakers of AG-yesteryear with faux suede uppers, metal eyelets, laces, and complex molded soles?

Luciana Space Themed Dress
Just over two months until Luciana!
Love Luciana's space themed dress! Yes, I plan to be there on debut day!
I predicted early summer that Luciana will have a space suit with a "bubble helmet" and I am sticking with my prediction--though no leaked images of it yet.
Luciana the poppet has been spotted on social media and some of her outfits and accessories have been leaking for months now. See more Luciana images of the doll and outfits as they develop on the All About Luciana page.

Stars and Moons! Seeking Luciana
Who is Luciana? Where is she from? What will be her themes, stories, and adventures? Her wardrobe and accessories?
Could this tee be for Luciana?
In favor for it being Luciana's tee is that the building facades look like the old style "Spanish" facades from places like San Antonio. The stars, while an American Girl nod to their own logo, also point toward this tee depicting Texas which often uses the star in its logos and themes.
Two big states for space industry are Florida and Texas, but considering we recently have Maryellen from Florida, having Luciana's story set in Texas makes a whole lot of sense!
Finally, with a big thank you to "dollsbetweenus"--Luciana is Spanish origin and means "light of the moon." How perfect! It all seems to fit together that perhaps is Luciana is not only of Hispanic and/or Spanish heritage and that she loves space, space travel, astronomy--but that her story takes place in a state where Spanish and Hispanic culture is so integral to its history.

Luciana! Luciana! Luciana! GOTY 2018!
Looks promising!!!
Luciana Vega. Space theme. 2018.
The author of the GOTY 2018 books is Erin Teagan, a children's book author who holds a masters degree in science (unspecified) and has worked in a biochemistry lab.
Will AG knock this last GOTY into outer space? Big and bold? I hope so!

All About Luciana
When AG trademarks a first-and-last name for a doll (see below) almost always it is a sign of a doll that is deep into research and development and almost always these first-and-last named characters will make its AG debut
Luciana Vega may be the GOTY 2018, the final GOTY or it is also possible Luciana is a BeForever character or Contemporary Character
Luciana is a feminine name of Roman origin (male variation is Lucius). Luciana is a popular name in Italy, Spain, and Portugal.
Vega is is a Spanish surname of pre-Roman origin meaning "dweller in the meadow" or "one who lives on the plain." It is also the name of a star in the constellation Lyra. AG does such a wonderful job with its naming!
Luciana Trivia
Princess Luciana is a character in the animated Barbie (Mattel) movie The Island Princess. Shall we presume only coincidence and zero connection?

Will Luciana be the final GOTY in 2018? Or perhaps another Latino BeForever character so that AG may begin the slow-walk retirement of Josefina? I am intrigued either way!
