This is the shocking news of the retirement of the whole Samantha/Nellie collection.





Dear American Girl fan,
We’re writing with important news about an American Girl original, Samantha Parkington®. Soon, Samantha’s complete collection—including Nellie® and her accessories—will be moving into the American Girl Archives™.
While Samantha™ has been one of American Girl’s most popular historical characters since her introduction in 1986, we felt the timing was right to preserve her place in American Girl’s history, making it possible to introduce new characters and time periods for our customers to enjoy.
Watch for more information via our catalogues or at americangirl.com. In the meantime, don’t miss the opportunity to purchase items from Samantha’s collection before it’s too late. Thank you again for your continued support.
Sincerely,
American Girl
P.S. Though Samantha will soon be moving into the American Girl Archives, her stories will live on! You’ll continue to find Samantha books at americangirl.com, at American Girl stores, and at booksellers nationwide.
