I wanted to buy my nieces American Girl dolls for Christmas, but when I saw the prices, I almost fainted!!! Sooo, do you know of any "American Girl Like" dolls that I can get? I have found tons of clothes for 18 inch dolls, but I don't know where to get the dolls!

Thank you!!
 
they sell a generic version of the dolls at target...or at least they did last time i was in the toy department. :)
 
Yes, I just bought my two girls the generic brand versions at Target. They are called "Our Generation Dolls". I believe the price ranges from $21.99 - $39.99 depending on if you get the deluxe version or not. But I agree, there was no way I was paying American Girl prices with the chances of my girls destroying them (they are still pretty young).
 
My girls were gifted American Girls on their first Christmases. Natalie screamed bloody murder about hers because her eyes opened and closed. They don't play with them, they are still in the box as a display piece.

I have seen the Target ones, and could even tell you what aisle they are in (it's the funky fun toy aisle, with like the wooden kitchen, the princess dress, and other off beat toys) and I think that they are cool too.
 
Thank you!! I am definitely going to check out the dolls in Target! Do you think that at 5 years old, they are too old? My sister in law just told me that my niece plays with Barbies and Bratz dolls too...what do 5 year old girls like??!!!
 
Yep, we have the My Generation doll from Target as well and DD (6) doesn't know the difference. :-)
 
I got both my girls that doll at Target before they were given an American Girl doll. But if they are playing with Barbies - Target has some on sale for $5.00 in their Thanksgiving ad for tomorrow and Saturday. Also they have a High School Musical pack of 4 dolls for under $30.00 that is pretty cute....you can't go wrong with anything High School Musical or Hannah Montana. :) Have fun shopping!

My girls are 4 and 6 years old and this is what the both asked for from Santa. They pretty much play with everything girly. So I think your niece would like it if she is into any kind of doll or likes dolls in general.
 
I think it's good for a 5 year old. My daughter really didn't get into dolls that much until she was about 4. She's 7 now and her favorites are littlest pet shop, stuffed animals, and cabbage patch kids. I like the generic dolls at Target. It's not like the kids know the difference, or would even care if they did LOL
 
Thank you so much! I am going to get the dolls. I think they are cute and I love that the dolls have so many accessories and clothes. While I'm in Target, I will probably pick up the Barbies too!:thumbup:
 
I was going to suggest Target but I see others already have. My daughter loved those types of dolls when she was little. I got her one at Toys-R-Us. I think A.G. dolls are just way to pricey.
