5.0 out of 5 stars Just a nice little doll, July 13, 2005

By	L. Braun "hsm25" (United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This doll is 6 1/2" tall with more-or-less the proportions of an 18" American Girl doll. Its construction is the same as the AG doll, with the soft torso, articulated limbs (joined at the shoulders and hips) and a tied-on head with the little string hanging down the back. The only major difference is the eyes. The eyes are painted on, not sleep eyes as the larger dolls have.

Mini Samantha doesn't have too many small parts to get lost, unlike some of the other AG Minis, which come with glasses or hair barrettes. She comes wearing a miniature Samantha "Meet" dress with matching hair ribbon, white bloomers, black tights and black shoes. The little book she comes with is just the right size for an 18" doll to "read."

The one drawback is that American Girl doesn't make extra clothes for their AG Mini Dolls, which is a shame since the AG Mini clothes are so nice; but the dolls can wear Barbie clothes (with a bit of altering, if you want a better fit) for a little style variation.

These really are sweet little dolls and nicely made--"a doll for your American Girl doll," as it's been marketed. Whether the price is worth it for a doll of this size is something you need to decide for yourself.

5.0 out of 5 stars Impressive little doll!, August 31, 2006

By	Loretta Houben "house mouse" (Vancouver BC, Canada) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I ordered this adorable little doll because of the low price. I wasn't disappointed! She is darling and has her own little book too, in mini form. The mini Samantha is darling, with the matching dress, socks and shoes just like the 18" doll of the same name. I was really impressed with the speed of Amazon's shipping to my address in Canada! I will be ordering more of the cute mini dolls. They are well worth the price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Charming dolls - easy on the wallet and make little girls happy., December 6, 2006

By	Learning All The Time "It's Never Too Late to... (USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

We have given away two of these Samantha dolls for birthday presents, and they were a big hit. The birthday girls took them out of their packaging and played with them right away. The dolls are small, maybe four inches, but that makes them more portable - easy to fit into a pocket or purse. The quality is pretty good - the head turns, the arms and legs move (but don't bend), the clothes are nice. And if the bangs don't smooth down quite right and the doll's face is not QUITE as pretty as the 18 inch doll, none of the 7 year old birthday girls cared one iota.
