Unboxing Opening Review: AG American Girl of the Year GOTY 2025 Summer McKinny’s Treat Cart

[@auntiesusansdolls5624]

I was wondering about Kat, and was hoping she hadn’t outgrown American Girl Dolls. I’m really enjoying the way you are managing the channel, but am glad to hear that Kat might be coming back!

[@nailahvenable7989]

It was a great event and I really enjoyed meeting you and other AG collectors. Thank you for the detailed review of the cart my girls really liked it and added it to their Xmas list. They got the accessories, the three outfits and both pets at the event.

I enjoy meeting you too! It was a great event ❤️

[@dollrose3085]

Such a cute set with awesome accessories! I love the cookies and bags, the credit cards and reader 🤩 I also love the hat and how cute Summer looks in it 🥰 Great review! Thank you 😊

[@rainbowunicorncat1]

You are welcome ❤️❤️❤️

[@thoward3523]

Great video, the event was so fun. We enjoyed it so much. I didn’t get to meet you but hopefully next time. My friend won that during the giveaway.

[@rainbowunicorncat1]

Congratulations to your friend!

[@thoward3523]

Thank you, I funny part is I had a feeling she was going to win

Such a cute set! I love the hat and the cookies.

[@rainbowunicorncat1]

The cookies are just too adorable 🥰

Your right her big ticket item was only $125. AG/Mattel is focusing on their target audience “children” with this collection, not us adult collectors. I also feel they are silently pushing you to buy their existing “truly me” collection to grow summer collection. Thanks for your journalism skills on AG and your reviews. Side note do you have a doll room where you display all your AG collection?

[@rainbowunicorncat1]

The doll room is work in progress because honestly I have too much stuff or maybe our house is too small, not sure which one 🤣

[@Latinart]

@@rainbowunicorncat1 I think you have too much stuff. Time to de-junk your least fave and sell to buy and collect the ones you really like. I’m in the process of creating my doll room. I have a pile to sell on market facebook and my core collection I want to add and grow like Grace bakery and Claudie collection.

Great video, thank you for sharing! Still waiting for my order to arrive. So cute!

Very cute & colorful set!

I love it too!

[@KawaiiCat2]

Such a cute set! I’ll definitely be getting one eventually. Such a good deal! Also the card reader lights up when you put the card inside!

[@rainbowunicorncat1]

Definitely cute! Her entire collection is a dream ❤️

[@KawaiiCat2]

@@rainbowunicorncat1 totally! I love the cat carrier backpack. It’s the best thing pet wise AG has ever made.

[@marysoroka6415]

Adorable. I actually didn’t think I’d like it but watching your video I think it is adorable.

[@rainbowunicorncat1]

The puppy cookies are too adorable 🥰

[@taylorwelch444]

That’s so cute I love sets like this.

[@rainbowunicorncat1]

Me too!

[@clairewatkins1720]

Thank you for the review! I’ve been on the fence about this one, now I think I need it! 😂

[@rainbowunicorncat1]

I love it and I think the price is reasonable.

[@dakotatwilight]

Oh this cart sounds so cool. I really love it. Comparing Kavi's trunk set with this, in my honest opinion, this has a wider play value as it can be used for a wide variety of dolls, TM, historical and GOTY, with a few play food sets added or even hand made, and goes well with TM sets.. Kavi's trunk goes with very few dolls stories, Rebecca and Claudie and Isabelle, perhaps Melody, come to mind. And I did find Kavi's trunk and musical set both good buys. Also newer TM sets are often easy to find secondhand online for not so expensive as well.

[@rainbowunicorncat1]

I agree, the cart is very versatile! The cart can be used for anything- ice cream, tacos, hot dogs, waffles, flower stand, farmers marker stand .

[@bethbacarella]

Thank you for sharing all of the details as usual. :)

[@LeahL-c5c]

Are there anymore updates about upcoming releases for the rest of the year? Ive seen your videos about auroura and barbie outfits.... is this still probable this year?

[@rainbowunicorncat1]

I don’t know about Aurora , but the Barbie collection is very likely. It might be more for adult collectors - in which case it doesn’t have to be tied to Christmas and released early to build up excitement. I think AG will release it close to the shipping date of the limited edition Barbie doll , when social media will be full of Barbie. There has to be winter mix and match collection. There is a rumor about limited edition Halloween doll. I think I heard about a Peanuts collab.

[@LeahL-c5c]

@rainbowunicorncat1 thanks! I'm fairy new to AG, but are the leaks and speculations heard from insiders typically true, only difference is maybe they get the general release date wrong? Or have there been times there have been rumors about something coming from a trusted source but it being wrong? It's crazy the amount of stuff that has been speculated to be released by the end of the yeat! Really can't wait for thr barbie collection! Seeing how fast the barbie doll sold out the clothing pieces will probably sell out super fast as well. Very very surprised the anna and elsa dolls haven't sold out yet.. I thought for sure they would be gone in a week. Why do you think that is? Is it becuase people now know they are releasing playline versions of the disney collectors(i think I heard that.)

[@-shmoopie-]

i got super lucky, my husband won this at the DC event! I'm so excited to set up a display with it ☺️

[@rainbowunicorncat1]

Wow, that is so lucky indeed!

[@dolls4u541]

Thank you for this review. Now I like this set even more 🤩.

[@rainbowunicorncat1]

It is sure cute!

[@cooldollstuff]

I don't honestly think most kids would spend 125 on a playset when they could get another doll unless they felt they had a lot of dolls already.

[@rainbowunicorncat1]

It’s a cool set though. You can set it up as anything with the right accessories - hot dog stand, ice cream stand, taco stand, flower stand…

[@dollrose3085]

You’re right but their parents will! 😂

[@molls127]

still think the cat is the cutest part

[@molls127]

and speaking of cats i hope kat is doing well in school this year! high school can be very hard sometimes, so i definitely understand why she doesn't want to come back just yet.

[@bettygarrido7621]

Super cute. 🥰

[@rainbowunicorncat1]

Yes 😻

[@pemberleythreads2199]

Hi! would you consider talking about American Girl targeting small businesses? Myself and other designers are being copyright striked by Mattel simply for using their dolls in the photos. People need to contact AG and tell them this is not right! 😢

[@rainbowunicorncat1]

Absolutely! I was thinking about making a video actually. I have a couple of questions, can I reach out to you on IG?

[@pemberleythreads2199]

@@rainbowunicorncat1yes please feel free! @Pemberleythreadsgirl

[@chezfortine800]

It’s not just her “big ticket item” that has shrunk. She only has 2 extra outfits plus pajamas. Lila had 3 extra outfits plus pajamas, and Kavi had like 5 or 6! So they are really making these GOTY collections smaller. I think they just don’t like it when the stuff sits on the website forever, but I don’t know why they don’t just make smaller quantities of each outfit.

[@rainbowunicorncat1]

Kavi had more because she had clothes that came with her trunk. I think Summer’s stuff will fly off the shelves, they could have made her collection larger.
