[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter is Asian also (Chinese-American) and I bought her an Ivy doll which I found off of E-bay.  I thought she looked more Chinese than some of the design-your-own options (some of which other PPs have posted above).  Also, I liked that she came with her own story (GOOD LUCK, IVY) which had this historical/cultural info that I like about the old dolls.  (Like another poste mentioned, I like these dolls for the historical stories and their educational tie-in.)  My daughter is 7 and in 1st grade and she got her Ivy doll at Christmas this year.  We have not bought any other accessories or anything, but my daughter really wants to be able to brush her hair, so she was saving up her money to buy the $8 "wig comb" which supposedly is the only one you are supposed to use to brush the dolls' hair.

PS  It kind of burned me up that there was no Asian-American doll anymore other than finding the Ivy one on E-bay.  What the heck?  My daughter is AMERICAN so why isn't there an AMERICAN Girl DOLL for her?  That is what made me go to E-Bay.  Normally, I'd never have done anything like this.  DD probably wouldn't have even cared but it was I who was pretty ticked off about it, once I thought more about it.  Grrr, stupid overpriced company that doesn't even have an option for my AMERICAN girl.  Maybe I feel this way b/c we adopted her from China so yeah, I was pretty peeved that there some company where there was basically a message:  "You are not an American girl if we don't have an AMERICAN GIRL doll that looks like you."  Shrug, I don't know.  [/quote]

There was a big controversy when AG discontinued Ivy in 2014.  She was the only Asian historical doll.  And just Julie's sidekick at that.  AG can and should do better.[/quote]
