Should You Buy Corinne Tan? Pros and Cons

I list out my personal pros and cons about the doll as well as some other factors you may want to consider depending on the type of collector you are. For example, someone who uses their dolls for social media may have different needs than someone who is a serious collector. Sit back, relax and let me persuade you into buying Corinne Tan.

I just bought Corinne, and I love her! Shes my first girl of the year! My other dolls are historicals except for my one TrulyMe. I love her so much and I think shes gorgeous! Thank you for your video!

[@cindyeisenberg8367]

I just get what I want. Right now, I am holding off on buying another doll. However, I am glad to have Corrine.

[@seasonsforag]

I just love Corinne! Love the vid 😭💗 And I agree with you ( on the pros and cons )

[@carolinavazquez108]

I love Corrine, she’s very unique and very easy to take care of. I agree with your pros anf cons about her. Thank you for your video.

[@coolagdollstuff2278]

I consider myself a serious collector i love historical, goty, truly me, prototypes, wellies and bitty

[@AllycatlovesAG]

Ooh prototypes? What do you mean by that?

[@coolagdollstuff2278]

@@AllycatlovesAG well mostly romina (classic mold prototype) iris mold ( number 4 protototype) celine mold ( addy prototype) and bitty baby prototypes by gotz. I want a somina someday which is the other classic mold prototype. I also have the rejected Renee mold prototype doll.

Corrine is gorgeous! Her hair looks beautiful. I can't decide if I want to buy her or not, and this definitely helped! Great job Ally!

[@sadieandbean]

I just got my first AG doll 3 days ago and I picked Corrine. I love her so much.

[@AllycatlovesAG]

That’s amazing! Once you get your first doll you will become addicted. Say goodbye to your money haha. Enjoy her!

[@Libraryofthedolls3001]

Thank you for this video! I’m a little on the fence about Corinne myself. I do not have any Asian dolls in my collection yet, and I definitely want my next doll to be Asian. I’m thinking Corinne or a Jess mold, like #84. I like how unique Corinne is, but I like the lightest skin tone on 84.

[@sparkle6772]

ivy is a good choice too!

[@AllycatlovesAG]

84’s hair is a bit too long for my taste. And most of the Jess mold truly meme’s I like are retired, so Corinne is a perfect fit for me

[@Libraryofthedolls3001]

That is a good point. My birthday is coming up, so I’ll wait and see what happens with that, but then I’ll probably just get Corinne.

[@kraftykristin4968]

Corinne is such an awesome doll. I have her and love her! I thought it was funny that the things you don't love about her, are actually some of my favorite things. Like her blue hair, and her leggings. I think the blue in her hair is very well done. And I am OBSESSED with her leggings! I need them for myself! But then also, I hate the white sweater she came with lol

[@AllycatlovesAG]

We definitely have different tastes when it comes to dolls haha

"If you're just trying to save money, and you think Corrine wouldn't be the most unique thing in your collection, then, like, save your money. Don't cave… and buy an American Girl Doll." Dudette, I'm an AgTuber. I be broke. 😎

[@AllycatlovesAG]

I’m impressed you took the effort to quote me! I’m a youtuber too (obviously) and you can definitely survive with only a few dolls… but bigger collections have more fun lol

[@AnastasiaProduction]

@@AllycatlovesAG It was worth it. XD Too true... but that doesn't mean I'm not still broke hehe.

[@StoryMing]

One other type of potential reason for buying / not-buying which was not mentioned is customization. I have gotten rather re-obsessed with AG since finding an artist online who repaints and customizes the dolls, and I have to confess, I got Corinne primarily because I wanted her as a base for making a (Disney's) Mulan doll. I don't consider myself a "serious" collector (as yet??) -- I have a #4 Asian doll who is my primary doll, and have lately acquired a handful of others (3 or 4) whom I likewise wish to transform into various favorite book or movie characters. Although... I possibly may get another, “standard” Corinne later, just to have her “as herself”. I agree with you about the colored hair, and the leggings of the meet outfit, but clothes can be changed and hair can be re-wigged. So the only real con for me is her eyes; because they are a different size, they cannot easily be swapped out.

[@agcrazystudios5199]

Yay I love this video! Corinne is so cute🥺it’s really hard to not buy her…. I actually like her blue hair. More than I did when I first saw her. As someone who makes Agsm's I look for dolls that will work for characters I have in mind, right now I’m try to get more skin tones and boy dolls so I’m not going to get her… Right now anyway.😀 I somehow don’t have a medium skin doll, I thinking of getting 62. Overall this video was helpful. Can’t wait to see more Ally😊 -Zoe

[@AllycatlovesAG]

62 is so cute and I definitely recommend her

[@MissyJ-216]

I love your videos. I have her. When I saw her pictures I was disappointed because I don’t like color either but got her anyway because I have a cousin named Corinne and she is so unusual. I was surprised that I like her hair. I always hated Wellie Wishers but I got Gwynn. She is so adorable. I love when dolls takes me by surprise.

[@AllycatlovesAG]

The way people make the wellie sized dolls act in stop motions makes me want to get one- I love children and work with them for a reason

[@jingxiclairezhu478]

I have Corinne too! I like her highlights(my favorite color is turquoise) and the way her book addresses racism towards Asian Americans(being an Asian American myself I can relate)

[@newyorkbliss]

She is such a nice doll, but I just still won't change my not liking for the not natural hair colored dolls. I don't know, but no offense to anyone who likes these kind of dolls. In my point of view she is really adorable, and super cute!

I was unsure about Corinne because of here colored hair. I can never see myself getting her but see is kind of growing on me! (Like all AG dolls do😂)

[@gingerandcloves]

I think Corinne is such a unique doll, both in looks and story line, so she was a must have for me. I successfully resisted Kira, she didn't hold much appeal. I collect as a hobby and for therapy, LOL. It's fun, and mainly I'm trying for a diverse collection.

[@AllycatlovesAG]

Now I still haven’t read her books, but I did watch her miniseries and all the racism is such an important message. I had to block someone today who said that Ivy made them think of Covid… Corinne is teaching children to not be racist and stand up to racism!!

[@gingerandcloves]

@@AllycatlovesAG Yes, I just thought her story is very timely, it deals with racism and COVID, and it has a really important message for girls today. And the whole sisterly bond is very sweet. Plus dogs! :)

Fellow K-pop fan here. I've named my Corinne 'Areum', inspired by my life and times in Korea as well.

[@AllycatlovesAG]

I’m not fluent in Korean yet, so what does that word mean? Is it winter because I know the word for summer sounds similar 여름

[@fangirl7914]

@@AllycatlovesAG It means beautiful from the adjective, 아름답다. Winter is 겨을, but I've never heard that as a personal name before. Otherwise it would suit a Corinne doll very well!

Great video! I haven't bought her and I don't think I will. I have 6 dolls (2 Josefina molds, one Addy mold, one Sonali mold, one Jess mold & one Classic mold) and I've decided that if a mold is only available in one or two dolls, I won't buy them (so no #4, Kaya, Nanea, Corinne, Marie Grace, Joss, Makena, boy dolls). If they come out with another Joss mold and she's unique to my collection, I might consider it (I don't need another doll with brown hair and brown eyes and no freckles). I like that my dolls fit nicely in my childhood doll cradle and I don't want to crowd them. They look comfy now. :)
