Archived American Girl Doll "Nellie" - Retired American Girl Dolls
Nellie was added to the collection of American Girls in June 2004 as part of a new line of BEST FRIEND dolls. She debuted as Samantha's "Best Friend" in conjunction with the Samantha DVD release. Even though Nellie was the ninth historical girl added after the collection was launched in 1986, she is really part of Samantha's collection. Nellie is not a limited edition doll; however, she was "archived" at the same time as Samantha. Sales of Nellie and her collection officially ceased as of May 2009.Nellie is a resourceful, smart and resilient orphan girl growing up in 1906 New York who is trying to find a way to keep the promise she made to her dying mother -- to keep her family together. Orphaned and abandoned by their uncle, Nellie and her two little sisters are living with her best friend Samantha Parkington's family. Best of all, Samantha's Uncle Gard and Aunt Cornelia want to adopt all three of the O'Malley girls along with Samantha.
(RETIRED) SAMANTHA PARKINGTON, 1904 HISTORICAL DOLL!
Samantha Parkington, 1904 Historical Doll
Archived American Girl Doll "Samantha" - Retired American Girl Dolls
Samantha was one of the three American Girls that launched the collection in 1986 along with Molly and Kirsten. American Girl used the term 'archive' when it ceased production and sales of Samantha, her friend Nellie, and both their collections in May 2009. This was a unique move in the company's history for its Historical Characters.Samantha is an only child -- a bright, compassionate girl -- growing up during the Edwardian period (although American Girl designated her as Victorian). She was orphaned at age five and is being raised by her wealthy Victorian-era grandmother in fictional Mount Bedford, New York.
Samantha's world is filled with frills and finery, parties, and play, but she also observes that times are not good for everybody. She befriends a poor servant girl named Nellie O'Malley, whose life is nothing like Samantha's. That's why she tries to make a difference in the life of her friend. Eventually Samantha, Nellie, and Nellie's young sisters are adopted by Samantha's uncle and aunt. Samantha book themes include women's suffrage, child labor, and classism.

Chrissa's books and DVD focus on peer bullying issues. Both books are written by Mary Casanova.
Chrissa is the first Girl of the Year to have any "best friend" companion dolls. The two characters, Sonali Matthews and Gwen Thompson, are from the books and movie, and neither had a separate collection.
Gwen Thompson is white with blond hair and brown eyes. She is a lonely girl in her class; Chrissa is the first to befriend her. Gwen lived at the homeless shelter and felt that her situation made it too embarrassing for her to make any friends. The doll has the Classic Mold, blond hair with bangs, and brown eyes.
Sonali Matthews is at least partially South Asian/Indian, as her mother's parents are from India. She was part of the Queen Bees with Tara and Jadyn, but stopped being their friend after their cruel pranks and became Chrissa's friend. The doll has an all-new face mold with dark skin, dark eyes, and long wavy dark hair to represent her Indian heritage.
