I love the new lighting. And the dolls are stuuuuning. No. 4’s face is a dream. Gorgeous.

[@TrobertABQ]

Congratulations! What a gem to buy a 4 with the accessories and tag! TM 4 was available from 1995-2011. She isn’t as rare as shorter release dolls. She does tend to sell for more money than some of the other early TM dolls. I like the original blank books. I have part of the set including the book of writing guides. I don’t know how often the PC story books were used. Now there are hardback and paperback blank books for people to write their own stories in without writing in the 30 year old PC books. I like AG’s latest TM book “All About Me” with more prompts and illustrations. It looks more inviting to write in.

[@idreamofjonny]

I definitely think the newer books are more approachable for today's kids. I dont see many of them doing this full 6-book series from scratch. I know I wouldn't haha

[@jofosho2]

I bought mine in 2019 for like $80 with a bunch of clothes too. I got her a new head and her hair is so silky and pretty!! I heard they don't have her head anymore so I feel lucky I was able to

[@therobotdevil2284]

14:00 "So if your doll's name was, I don't know, shoebox..." I know you don't really name your dolls but I think your new #4's name now has to be Shoebox 😂

[@joedavis7865]

I got my #4 in almost brand new condition from an original employee of American Girl! I Love being only a couple hours away from the American Girl headquarters, It's always a lot of fun to talk with previous employees and even buy things from them. I've gotten some extremely rare items, doll collecting can be so much fun!

[@jofosho2]

That's so cool!! Totally wished I lived near HQ, it would be a dream come true to work for them

[@MyRealitywithNicole]

Number 4 was my first TM/GOT AG doll. Up till her I would only get named dolls.

[@bettygarrido7621]

I love her! I do own number 4 as well and mine is brand new. Beautiful doll.

[@tinmanlover1994]

I love the writing your own AG story is so cool. I want an older AGOT to with the writing books

[@idreamofjonny]

They're pretty cool! Maybe I'll write a story one day (but probably not lol)

[@AGTV4Life]

Congratulations!! She is stunning 🤩

[@ms.shaneis955]

Congrats on #4 again 😊, also do you think you will ever fix the #4 with the sliver eye? I remember in one of your early videos, you showed us how you would fix a sliver eye using paint and a slim paint brush. Or maybe do an eye swap with #4 eyes and a PC American Girl of Today?

[@CraftyMagicDollz]

I sent my #4 to the doll hospital and got her back with new eyes! They did a fantastic job.

[@bethbacarella]

What an amazing find! Thanks for sharing her with us. :) I'm that collector who doesn't need to add #4 to my collection. :) I started collecting in 2012, so Josefina is my favorite mold, closely followed by Joss. I'm not a fan of the older molds and I don't have any Classic molds in my collection either. I used to, but sold them. I have 8 dolls right now and 7 of them are customs. I have 2 Historicals (Nanea & Marie-Grace), 2 GOTY's (Grace & Gabriela), 2 World By Us (Evette & Maritza) and 2 Truly Me's (#26 and #64). I really don't want to "mess up" my 2+2+2+2 collection, but I want a custom Claudie, so she will be my next doll, but not until 2025, as I'm taking 2024 off from buying toys of any kind.

[@CherishedDollFriends]

It is fun to upgrade dolls in our collections but I agree that they are all different and often we want to keep both! 💕🙏

[@buffmontana4203]

I was lucky enough to purchase a #4 about 10 years ago for under $100.00. She is in pretty good shape, eyes good, clean... hair is a little dry but in great shape (still has the little flip at the ends). She is such a treasure. Apparently mine is an older version because of the lip and cheek color. Thanks for sharing !

[@tinmanlover1994]

I know how you feel Johnny I go to bed between 8pm or 9pm

[@TrobertABQ]

Me, too! Early to bed and early to rise.

[@joannewall5499]

I have no got her but I’m mainly a historical collector

[@MunecasPoupeesDolls]

She's amazing 🎉 Congratulations 🎉🎉

[@idreamofjonny]

Thank you! I hope you find your #4 soon ❤️

[@Kelly_Molly_Sarah]

I remember when she came out because I had a sunflower hat *exactly* like that ❤ I was in 5th grade in 1995. It was so strange to see modern outfits on the dolls after years of the historical catalogs!

[@CherishedDollFriends]

Congrats on your new Number 4! She is very cute but I am one of the few that does not plan to add her to my collection. One reason is that I am a historical line collector however it hasn’t stopped me from adding Corinne and Blair to my collection. I am trying to keep my numbers of dolls down for space reasons so I am being very particular about who I add. I like diversity in my collection too but my favourite Asian face molds are Ivy and Corinne. I enjoy seeing people open and be excited about their number 4 dolls. I’m sure if a number 4 appeared in my life I wouldn’t turn her down but I am not actively searching to add her to my collection. Enjoy your beautiful girls. ❤

[@Agstar91]

I can't wait to have #4 in my collection! ❤

[@DeadRaymanWalking]

I have a JLY 4...she was my THIRD AG doll in my collection I got around my 24th birthday in 2009. Just seeing those old "meet clothes" on her reminds me of Claudia Kishi from The Babysitters Club. I got real creative when planning my #4's name - her full name is Susan Yoshika Miyamoto. As an avid gamer whose gaming life started with the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), her last name came from Shigeru Miyamoto, who was responsible for inventing Super Mario...as such, every year on March 10th for Mario Day (MAR10...get the picture?), I try to get Susan involved in Mario Day celebrations, and I've taken countless pictures of her wearing all sorts of Mario costumes - just a Mario hat and a Mario mustache printed onto card stock just taped to her face (by means of blue tape that's easy to remove) - I even took her with me when we went to see The Super Mario Bros. Movie at the Drive-In. Now that I mention it, I've considered making clothing for her with a motif similar to Mario's overalls.

[@OctoberPoppets]

Dang, she's so beautiful! Living vicariously!

[@kristalynn7877]

Congrats!🎉 #4 is just the cutest! I’ll always have mine.

[@melissabazile]

Yay! A video dropped on my birthday! I’ll be watching tonight! Thank you!!!

[@idreamofjonny]

Happy Birthday, Melissa! I hope you have an awesome day! 🥳🧁🎈

[@melissabazile]

@@idreamofjonny thank you!!!! 🙏 ☺️

[@tinmanlover1994]

Johnny Please do an all my AGOT doll video

[@idreamofjonny]

I'm only halfway there! I still have about 10 more to go to complete the first 20.

[@cooldollstuff]

Some people have made customs number 4 dolls ❤

[@idreamofjonny]

I've seen them!

[@tinmanlover1994]

I'm still on the hunt for my #4 I think I'll name her either Min from Barney or Kimi from Rugrats

[@idreamofjonny]

I hope you get her soon! I love those names!

[@jessnawoods]

I have 6 Historical Girls (Felicity (1990's version), Caroline, Samantha (1990's version because that's the one I would have had as a child is why I didn't go older or newer), Rebecca, Kit (I'm an Ohio girl with my daughter named "Millie" after my grandma, loves writing and photography, and have a basset hound), and Maryellen) and one modern doll Lea Clark for funsies... I'm more into their stories and eras... so I'm more into collecting their collections (not always first edition because I want to enjoy them and not worry over using the stuff) and not dolls in quantity.

[@amyirellrodriguez798]

I am someone who doesn't own a number 4 and doesn't even want one. It's not that she is ugly or anything, but, in my opinion, she is basic-looking. I like my pleasant co-AG dolls to have a certain realism in the face, and she doesn't have it at all. All I can think of when I see her is a Japanese porcelain doll face. Maybe if her eyes were slightly wider or her skin tone was a bit darker then I'd consider her, but she isn't for me.

[@maddiejoy6619]

I'm the same age as that doll and I have a husband, two kids, and a mortgage 😅.

Hello Johnathon xxx

[@idreamofjonny]

Hey Joanne!!

[@Devki24]

Not Jerri Blank lol. It’s the 25th anniversary of Strangers with Candy this week :)

[@CraftyMagicDollz]

I have three AG #4 dolls

[@tinmanlover1994]

#4 can steal I mean Barrow Courtney scrunchy Courtney won't notice

[@idreamofjonny]

True!

[@steph585]

Your minty taste makes for good watching!

[@brieanna7183]

Yep, have an early #4. She came naked but in pristine condition.

[@buffmontana4203]

Oh! I named mine Amelie. What name did you give yours everyone?

[@jofosho2]

Mine is Talia!

[@kristalynn7877]

[@Lukewinde1]

Hey Jonny I’m trying to figure out the year of my Samantha white body doll and can’t are you able to tell me I know your the expert also i have a original Samantha paper that almost looks like a bookmark and was wondering what it is

[@AGsunflowers]

Im guilty of being a number 4 wanter

[@cameronhunt3045]

Leave Belinda alone!! 👁️👄👁️

[@idreamofjonny]

She knows what she did.

[@KelliMaple]

I feel like I am the only collector who doesn’t have number 4 and doesn’t want her 🙈 I know it’s an unpopular opinion but I just don’t like her. I’ve never thought she was that cute and ever since I first saw her I just didn’t understand the appeal

[@idreamofjonny]

I get it! There are a few super popular AG dolls that I don't vibe with at all either. I normally don't care for 6.1 and it took me FOREVER to find one I actually like

[@desnakellum-yanzuk2217]

I am not trying to buy this doll. There’s a lot of hype surrounding her for her rarity, but I buy dolls because I like them, not for their resale value. I do think she’s cuter in person though. Every time I see a picture of her I think, “oink”.

[@kristalynn7877]

I’m not even that into American girls and when I saw #4 I knew I had to have her cause she is just adorable imo~and little piggies are cute though 🐷

[@kb8990]

If your doll’s name was Shoebox. Dead. 😂🫠
