Goodbye Kit??

      My mom and I have been discussing Kit lately.  We have noticed that quite a few of her items are not sold anymore.  Have you seen that her Bunny Jump Suit, original pajamas, hobo outfit, and her hat and mittens have all been retired?  Now you might say that's not a big deal, but think about it.  Why would they archive it all and not replace it with new outfits?? 
     Kit would also be a big time money maker for American Girl if they retired her.  That's probably why they retired Felicity and Elizabeth.  Just for the money.
     This would devastate me if AG retired Kit!  She was my very first historical character, and she looked almost exactly like me when I was little.  My mom buys me an item from Kit's collection for every birthday and Christmas, but if she is archived, I will never be able to have the collection of such a wonderful doll.:(
     What are your thoughts??  Do you think Kit is going to be retired or another doll?  I would love to your opinion!  Please vote on my poll or comment.  Thanks!:D

How do they make more money by retiring dolls?

Lissie- When AG decides to retire a doll, for instance Felicity, many people scrabble to buy her and her accessories until it's all sold out. This shoots AG's company financially sky rocketing up. Hope that helped! Thanks for commenting!:D

This is so sad! I really hope they don't retire Kit. She is one of my favorite dolls, and I love her movie, her books, and her whole collection! But, you do have a point, they aren't replacing any of the things they retire so she might be getting retired! But I really hope not!
