Millennial cries opening first American Girl doll

[@NexJen]

You cry those beautiful happy healing tears my girl! I'm here for the healing, I'm here for the joy. I'm here for your dreams coming true. I'm here for you.

[@NexJen]

Molly and Holly!!! Finally together. sorry I keep commenting lol I'm just loving this.

[@kreskin0079]

I also got my first American girl doll this past Christmas. It was Molly. I, too, wanted her since I was a child. I cried too. I completely understand ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@ApollosDagger]

Oh wow, what a beautiful and special opening! There’s something truly magical about being able to hold toys we wanted more than anything as kids. The little binder made me audibly gasp LOL I love working miniatures so much

[@NexJen]

Ok so I guess she was on a nature hike and wanted to collect the lil buggy critters.

[@OnmyMind-jj7of]

I can relate. My dream item was the Playmobil Victorian dollhouse. I had the catalog and would constantly go through it and write out a shopping list of what sets I wanted. I never asked for it because it was really expensive. Adult me bought it and a bunch of room sets a few years ago. It is everything I dreamed it would be.

[@TheHollycopter]

I LOVE THAT!!!

[@lisbetsoda4874]

So excited to see another American Girl collector in the making. Just subscribed. Molly is an iconic dolll. I know you will love her. ❤

[@dianaalmazan69]

LOVE THIS! Molly was my first doll too. I completely understand. CONGRATULATIONS ON FINALLY GETTING HER!

[@NexJen]

Just finished the video. I loved every second.

I’m 18 and I collect American Girl dolls and I cried opening a few as well 😅 I saved up all my money when I was 9 to buy one, and didn’t get another until I was I was 14, and now I have 40 of them! There’s the most embarrassing picture of me at 15 crying holding a Grace Thomas doll that I had wanted for years that I got at Christmas 😂 I’ve been wanting a Caroline doll since I was a child (she became retired by the time I was able to get any dolls) but could never justify the price because all the used ones weren’t in good condition for their price. Just this month I commissioned a custom doll maker to make my dream Caroline custom (very similar to Caroline but with a custom wig and the Joss face mold) and I spent wayyy more on her than I could have on Caroline but she’s my dream doll and she’s custom made and I can’t wait to receive her 🫶

[@besosiriusrn]

I love talking about dolls loll

[@TheHollycopter]

That's so cool! I'm glad you finally got your dream doll! I definitely love Caroline and have her on my list now!

[@besosiriusrn]

@@TheHollycopter Caroline’s just such a beautiful doll, and her unique eyes are def my favorite ever released by AG! I can’t wait to see any more ag doll uboxings from you if you get anymore in the future!

[@momisgettingmad]

im late to the party but this video made me emotional because i recently had the same experience with molly :’-) my mom could never afford ag dolls when i was a kid and this year I’ve gotten into collecting them and molly was always the one i wanted because my grandma had a pleasant company doll that i would admire, it’s so healing I’ve been watching your channel since i was in middle school. I’m now 23 and i still get excited to see new uploads! I’d love to see more ag videos in the future if you decide to collect

[@TheHollycopter]

I'm so glad you understand the emotions! So, so healing. Thank you so much for watching me, I definitely plan on more AG content! 🫶

[@wanya_telborn]

Awe enjoy ❤😊 keep all your boxes and display on top of them

[@67luis64]

As your first American Girl doll, you made an excellent choice; Molly is simply adorable 💖, I say it as a italian collector: Molly is the most loved A.G. doll in my country; I have (and really love) her and all my friends, when see her, fall in l❤ve! I am surprised to see you so emotioned, but I fully understand your feelings: these dolls are too, too lovable, I treat my ones as real daughters. I wish you to enjoy as most as possible your new A.G. doll and wish you a happy and pleasant 4 July 🎉🎇!

[@67luis64]

And I'd add that these dolls don't deserve to be called toys, because they are much more: are true heirlooms for collectors. About your Molly, don't worry: I have the original Pleasant's release and, as I see, is identical to the yours; if there are any differences, they are completely disregardable; the really important thing is the love you feel for her: she deserves all of it, be sure. Regards.

[@kreskin0079]

This is such a sweet comment ❤️

No shame in crying over Molly! I'm a 90s baby too, and I always wanted a Samantha, but never really asked for her because I knew how expensive it was. I pined over the catalogue too, and got the books, the computer game, the paper dolls. 100% was a little jealous and felt left out when friends had MULTIPLE dolls and accessories. For my birthday last year I got myself a refurbished Samantha bawled my eyes out! Since then I've been finding them (American Girls and Wellie Wishers) thrifting and antiquing for VERY good prices ($3 - $60 depending on the doll!)-- it's been healing, exciting and wonderful! I'm big on nostalgia and collecting childhood toys, so I get it! I'm so Molly finally came home to you and helped you heal

[@TakusenX]

100000% cried with you, by the way! I'm so happy for you

[@Monay-p7l]

I’m so happy that you HAPPY! I have her to and some of her collection and Bennett. Enjoy Holly ❤

[@isabelb8419]

I grew up watching your videos! I’m so so happy for you. Congrats on such a special piece for your collection💕

[@TheHollycopter]

Thank you so much!

[@danielnascimento6300]

I’m so happy you’re happy 😃 The joy is palpable.

[@tracib2133]

This was so sweet and special. I teared up with you. I remember circling the dolls in the catalog. I used to want the ones you could customize to look like you. I also never got one. But my big toy I had to get myself as an adult was a tamagotchi. Maybe one day I’ll get a furby too.

[@barbarawalsh2875]

Saddle shoes were definitely the play shoes of the day. I’m not that old but I had to have saddle shoes because I had to have corrective shoes when I was young they came as saddle shoes. Lots of girls had just the black pair if they had them I had white and black and red and white. And I always wore them and I love them. I mean I was in high school and I was still wearing them the only time that you see me in any other type of a shoe was if it was a religious sacrament or Christmas. Her shoes really didn’t come about for quite a while. Plus, the rubber was needed for the war. Anything that Molly or real girls her age collected anything that was needed for the war.

[@purrfektdark]

Molly looks JUST like you! xo I'm so happy for you.

[@margaretbearden7273]

I still have my original Molly and all the original boxes. The packaging and quality are amazing! I loved that she came with a real locket and a real 1944 penny!

[@thedollstudiobykris]

CONGRATS!!! U picked an AMAZING girlie 🎉❤🎉

[@jhunie9256]

I am soooo happy for you Holly!!!!

[@9sheri9]

I love this! So happy for you, Holly 💕🫶

[@Videlreyes2]

This makes me want to look on ebay for 90s stuff I used to have ♥ When I was in college, my dad got rid of my toys, VHS tapes, books and stuffed animals thinking I didn't care about them because they are old and taking up storage space. I was so pissed off and sad. I thankfully had some of my favorite toys with my mom but there were still a lot I would've liked to keep....... I'm so happy for you through! Thanks for sharing this moment. I think I might get emotional too if I find a cool toy I used to have or always wanted!

[@wildspirit6785]

Awww I'm so happy for you ❤

[@alexamatthews848]

No because I'm so jealous of how good a deal you got on all this stufffff

[@dollandtoygalk8446]

Molly is my favorite as well. I have the original pleasant company version. She is an absolutely amazing doll. Congratulations ❤ Such a sweet video, felt the emotions with you. 😢

[@torsoarin]

Just when I thought I couldn’t love you more ❤ you have been so missed on my KZbin feed!!!

[@MermaidiaDreams4Ever]

I'm so happy for you! Such a cute background. I love the Pillsbury Doughboy & Heimlich figures :D

[@barbarawalsh2875]

In the beginning they sold for $75. The outfits were definitely less expensive and better made all dolls had a bed you could buy. And some sort of storage or closet for their clothes. And most cases they had at least one additional room of furniture whether it was a table and chairs, which is what I remember the most or something else. I don’t remember that generally went with the birthday party. They all had a birthday party outfit a play outfit Pajamas, some type of holiday outfit and I’m missing something and of course everything had accessories that came separately.

[@NexJen]

Yaaaaasssss 🎉❤love you bestie.

[@louvrebaby]

I’ve been watching you since I was 9 🥺 I’m 20 now.

[@BlueMolly2024]

I’m a GenXer and Molly is my favorite. Her name is Molly and wears glasses like me. I am tearing up watching this.

[@ttrinniuiii]

SHE HAS THE SAME EYE COLOUR AS YOUUU!!

[@sweet_kuroneko]

congrats happy for you

[@cheekers3328]

Okay now someone get this to American Girl so they send Holly to an American girl store or something. Really make her inner child happy

[@TheHollycopter]

YESSSS 😂

[@Sammymc]

All of the historical dolls came with a penny from their year. Molly’s is silver because of the war. They made silver penny’s during the war.

[@chrisdang6218]

Love it ❤

[@kerrysmiles]

Yay

[@jessibetancur4030]

I'm so happy for you💖 girl i love your skin i would love to know you skincare routine🫂

[@TheHollycopter]

Oh my gosh thank you for this sweet comment, the truth is I treat my skin terribly and don't really have a skincare routine! When I start to wash my face more it breaks out which is weird!

[@barbarawalsh2875]

If you would do me a favor, never take her braids out. My daughter took both Kristen and Molly’s braids out and it was like a dagger in my heart. It was the one thing I asked her not to do.

[@TheHollycopter]

I made that promise to myself - her braids are staying forever!

[@cheekers3328]

I had Samantha when I was younger. My name is also Samantha and we both have brown hair and brown eyes so I looooved my Samantha doll. And my family does not keep things for sentimental reasons so we donated her at some point and now I have a little girl and it makes me sad that I don’t have my Samantha Doll to give her 😪

[@TheHollycopter]

I’m sorry to hear that! 😢

[@67luis64]

Why don't you purchase a new Samantha for her? She is currently for sale in the "Be Forever" line, both in the A.G. stores and in the official A.G. website.

[@cheekers3328]

@@67luis64 I’ll definitely get her an American girl but I think she’ll enjoy choosing her own over me buying her another Samantha. Buying her a Samantha vs. giving her my old one is just not the same. But I might look into getting myself a new Samantha so then her and I can enjoy them together

[@TheHollycopter]

@@67luis64 Since recording this video I have gotten three more dolls LOL it's an addiction at this point
