1986 kirsten Larson American girl doll signed and numbered
Please do not sell this doll unless and until you are 100% sure you want to, no matter how much money collectors try to fling at you (and they will). She is a very early doll, she's signed, she has a rare eye color variation, she has no issues that couldn't be addressed with some gentle restoration (if you so choose, there are a couple of well-regarded professionals who do this type of work). And most importantly, she is your childhood doll! She is so, so special. Hang onto this one and get your toddler a gently used one she can love until she's ready to treat this doll and her things like the heirlooms they are. More on reddit.com

According to photos I’ve seen from people who have bought her, the new Kirstens have dark blue eyes (same color as Kit or Nellie) instead of the light blue she used to come with. No idea why AG changed that.

Kirsten was one of the first three characters in The American Girls Collection, along with Samantha and Molly, when Pleasant Company debuted. The Kirsten doll and accessories were “archived” in 2010 and have only been rereleased once in 2021 and once in 2024 since then.

May 25, 2025 -
Can anyone tell me if this is rare or how to determine if this doll is worth preserving? I have a signed and numbered 1986 American girl doll? She is not in perfect condition as I played with her as a child. She has her original blue trunk, bed and a few accessories. Debating passing her onto my toddler daughter or if I should save this one and buy her a new one?

Oh my god do not pass this onto your toddler daughter. This is worth a LOT of money. Like, thousands. Do not give it to a toddler under any circumstances. I definitely believe you but this is the kind of thing you couldn’t even write as a joke lmao

I feel like Samantha and Molly are basically the two main faces of the American Girl Doll franchise and the most well-known/popular. Kirsten was the other original doll yet it seems like isn't anywhere near amongst one of the most popular.
For those who were around when the original three came out, did they always push for/advertise Kirsten less than the other two?

Because she’s an arsonist.

Huh, I never got this vibe! I'm a kid of the 90s and the "advertising" was just the catalogues, which portrayed all the dolls equally. I really never felt like any one of them was favoured or showcased over any others until much later when Mattel came along with more focused branding. Little House on the Prairie was also insanely popular in the 90s, so if anything I feel like Kirsten was more popular than the others because she felt more topical to other trends (the books and tv show) aimed at little girls.

August 1, 2019 - My 1995 Kirsten has a very thick body and quite the caboose! 😉 Her tan body is darker and has slowly been acquiring age spots that my earlier dolls have not been getting. ... After Mattel bought Pleasant Company in 1998, things started to slowly change. Over the years the dolls became much thinner and acquired body tags. Their neck stamp changed from Pleasant Company to American Girl...

Was gifted Kirsten doll with amber necklace and book set 15+ years ago (I believe), barely touched it, box and books are a little dinged up but the pages are in good condition, nothing is torn or creased besides the postcards in some. No receipts, unfortunately, my mom gifted it to me too long ago and I was a little kid, I only remember that it was ordered online directly from the American Girl website. Should I get it properly appraised?

Maybe 120-150? Hard to tell these days. She's rumored to be coming back out. This one looks in good shape, but how floppy? Do you have the spoon too? Some people don't care about the books, either. The necklace does increase the value, people lose that all the time.

She has great color! That necklace on its own can be like $30. Do you have the spoon too? That can go for $10-30, too. The books seem to be about $7/book or $35 for the set. I love Kirsten. There is a true scarcity of her stuff compared to the other original gals. Mercari is a good platform to see prices. It’s like eBay and seems to be super popular with AG collectors.

I bought her. I don’t have the original to compare it to, but I really liked most of it. The only things that bothered me was the differences in the newer classic face mold, zip ties instead of neck strings, and she had hair fly-aways out of the braid that made it a little messy.

r/americangirl on Reddit: Kirsten's books
July 16, 2023 -
I'm rereading the books for the first time since I was a kid. So far, I've finished Kirsten's 6 books. Does anyone else find it kind of funny that her house burns down and she saves the day by finding a man's corpse in his home and takes all of his belongings?
Top answer 1 of 5

I am always shocked at just HOW MUCH dark stuff happened in the Kirsten books (and her short stories and mystery books, too) when I re-read. Spoiler alert I guess but you have Marta and cholera, the kids left alone in a blizzard and have to break furniture for warmth, the dead trapper, Kirsten worries that her mother will die in childbirth, Kirsten and Papa are chased by a wolf in one of her mystery books and she has to hack up some meat they butchered and throw it to the wolf to keep it from eating them, etc etc etc.

It is very deus ex machina-y. Like, a lot of the AG books are - and honestly that's fine - but there's something extra special about Fortunately The Day Is Saved Because We Found This Dead Guy. Though, as I believe her brother notes in the story, it's not like he needed it anymore. I remember getting extremely stressed out about reading it when I was like 8, because my mom had impressed upon me that Raccoons Are Dangerous And Can Carry Rabies, And We Do Not Touch Them Or Bring Wild Animals Inside The House. The corpse thing didn't bother me all that much. I haven't yet seen anyone who collects for Kirsten getting Lanie's Raccoon for her, but it would be funny.
