My sister and I bought My Disney Girl dolls when they first came out in 2002. They were of rather poor quality, then, and from what I can tell, they haven't improved much. However, the outfits and accessories have, and I would've loved to have those options when I was younger (I still buy outfits for my American Girl Dolls
).
If the outfits fit the American girl dolls, then I'd go that route. American Girl is just..... fabulous. I've been receiving their magazine for almost ten years (once I hit 10, I plan to write in)! The dolls are amazing.... so many options! And if they get torn up, you can send them to the hospital. However, AG isn't cheap. But, it's a girl's fantasyland, I tell you! I was flipping through the catalogue the other day, wishing I could be 8, again.
