Celebrate 40 years of inspiration with the Special Edition Modern Era™ Collection, a 14.5-inch doll line created for American Girl’s anniversary. Distinct from our beloved historical character dolls, this commemorative collection reimagines favorite characters through a modern style lens. Always a trendsetter, Samantha Parkington gets a playful update with plaid patterns, statement bows, and golden accents that give a nod to her original 1904 charm.

Premium features:
  • A 14.5" Modern Era™ Samantha™ doll with brown eyes and long wavy dark-brown hair with bangs, styled with a plaid-bow headband. Each Modern Era™ doll features custom face paint and a crafted, smaller-scale version of the original doll’s face mold.
  • A pink satin top with semitransparent puff sleeves, a golden-button front, and a fold-back lapel finished with a black velvet bow with a golden heart pendant, mirroring her treasured brooch locket that held pictures of her parents
  • A plaid satin skirt with a black contrast waistband and layers of pink tulle, echoing the print of Samantha’s original checked taffeta dress
Also includes:
  • A matching plaid satin purse with a bow on the front and hand straps dolls can hold
  • A pair of pink socks
  • A pair of shiny white faux-leather ballet flats with black-capped toes and red satin ribbon straps
  • A pair of cotton underwear
Please note:
  • 18-inch historical character doll sold separately
