Whatever! Samantha was the original one, beyotches Shout out to 1988!

WHAT!?!?!?! Samantha was my doll, one of the very first, if not the first doll they made! She's fabulous, and I still have her and all of her cute accessories at my parent's house. How can they be discontinuing Samantha??? So disheartening.

I love Samantha! She was my favorite one!

Awww I loved Samantha! I had Kirsten but I always wanted Samantha too. I remember when it was just Samantha, Kirsten, and Molly. I loved poring over the catalogue and imagining all the cute accessories I'd get for my dolls...

First the Mattel buy-out, and now this! RIP, Pleasant Company, and your original intent to educate the little girls of the nation on vaious perspectives of American history...

(I do find bumping Samantha off to be a little odd; she was always the biggest money-maker of the dolls!).

All these years, I have tolerated what American Girl has become because I loved the originals so much. I cannot believe they are ditching Samantha! Who's next, Kirsten?! What is the world coming to?!

Outrageous! No more Samantha! How sad. Molly better not be next ore I'll really be upset!

WHY would they be doing that?? Samantha was the prettiest one!!

Poor Samantha! What is the reasoning behind this? They better not mess with Kirsten!

Samantha was my favorite too! I wanted her so badly when I was little.

I wanted Samantha too when I was little, emalove, but my mom said they were too expensive.

Aww I'm so sad that Samantha is being discontinued! My sister has that doll, I have Kirsten and Josefina but I was always partial to Molly (I was Molly in an American Girl fashion show).

o i remember when it was just Kirsten, Samantha and Molly too! I had Kirsten- still do somewhere. My neighbor had Samantha and Molly and all sorts of cool accessories. what a shame! and i agree- its a shame what its really become from what it was!

My mother wouldn't let us have cabbage patch or American Girl dolls. It was probably a strategic move on her part. If one of us wanted one and got it, then she'd have to buy those expensive dolls for the rest of us. I had 4 sisters, so that would've been a huge expense on her behalf. That and in the 80s, there was Elmo-doll levels of insanity over Cabbage Patch. I don't feel deprived. I was more of a tomboy anyway.

I would love to see Slaughterhouse-Five directed by del Toro. That man can do no wrong in my eyes.

NNNNNNNNNoooooooooooooo not samantha I have her but not all of her stuff sad that totally sucks American Girl I do not approve
