Saige!!!

Well, Saige and her stuff is up and running. I was kind of disappointed to see that Saige and all of the MAGs and historical characters are now $110. As if the dolls aren't expensive enough. Now for the new items:

Saige($110) Saige is pretty, but the belt seems a little odd as it is sewn into the dress. The belt does add a nice splash of color to the dress. The ring is ok, to me it looks kind of cheap, but it is a fun addition. I am so glad her ears are pierced!! I really want Saige!!!

Saige's Accessories: ($28) Really, 28 dollars for a purse that looks tiny and super small, a necklace, a bracelet, and a pair of studs and two dangly earrings?? Come on AG!! If you make it that much, how about adding more stuff??? I would really like to try to make a similar necklace and bracelet. I do really like the earrings and the purse, even if it is small.

Saige's Dog: ($24) I like "Rembrandt" but not his name. Personally, that isn't what you would normally name a dog. Name him after another artist, please!! Although, you already named the horses Picasso and Georgia!

Saige's Sparkle Dress:  ($30) I really like the concept and color combination of the dress, but the gold cowboy boots personally ruin the dress. I could see gold flats, but not cowboy boots. I do like the necklace. I do think this outfit is kind of expensive for a dress, spray-painted cowboy boots, and a necklace.

Saige's Pajamas for Dolls: ($24) Well, at least her pajamas don't have a hefty price tag!!! I think that the outfit as a whole is nice, especially for $24 from AG. I think the shirt could do without the ruffles, but I do like the pattern of the shorts. Those flip-flop slippers are kind of common from AG and I have a pair in blue. I am not sure why they gave her shorts and a three-quarter length sleeve shirt, because if Saige lives in the desert, then it could be freezing cold at night. I don't think AG really thought about that much. Somehow the colors all work together and it looks cute on Saige.

Saige's Sweater Outfit: ($34) I really like this outfit and it is cute and trendy. I really hope that her leggings are not made of jegging material like Laine's Nature Outfit, but that is what it looks like in the picture. The tank top is cute and the sweater is to die for!!! The sandals are ok, I don't really care for them. But, lo and behold, a huge price tag!! AARGH!!!!

Saige's Parade Outfit: ($34) I think we should all be getting used to AG's new prices. I like the shirt and the pattern, and the belt is cool, but other wise I don't really care for this outfit. Maybe if you untucked the shirt...

Saige's Parade Hat and Helmet: ($20) Ok, so a cowboy hat and a pink helmet. I like the color of the helmet, but otherwise, what is the purpose of this set????

Saige's Horse: ($94) Pricey, and okay. Not exciting. Don't really know what to say.

Saige's Parade Saddle Set: ($38) Okay. Not too sure what to say again.

Saige's Hot Air Balloon: ($150) I guess this is Saige's one piece of furniture. The balloon is colorful and certainly a new idea. I wish they had made the messenger bag, camera, map, pilot log book and binoculars a separate set. Although if they had I would probably be upset about that too. The accessories seem similar to Kanani's Accessories.

Saige's Painting Set:  ($48) I like the easel and the idea of Saige  painting, it seems a little odd to include finished paintings. I guess it adds to the play value. The pictures to color in I think you can color virtually on Saige's free app, Paint Ponies. I like the mini paint supplies and portfolio and sketchbook.

This is all of Saige's collection. I wonder if there will be another outfit released mid-year like Mckenna. And the wait also has started for Saige's movie. Happy New Year!!!!!

  1. In the interest of holding up my part as the Albuquerque connection, here is a link to the Albuquerque Journal's article about Saige.

    It was also interesting to read information about the Spanish Barb horses featured with Saige's story and the people trying to save the breed in New Mexico.

  3. Hi! I love your blog!
    Note on the pricing...yes, I'm not so thrilled that the prices are going up and the sets are not complete as they were in the "old days" (i.e., 2000s). Back then the Parade Outift would be $34 and include a cowboy hat.
    With regards to her accessories and horse - those prices seem to fall in line with Kaya (at least the accessories).
    Try calling her dog Remi instead of Rembrandt. ;-)
    I have to check out that article from Debster...should be a good one.
    Keep up the good work. You've inspired me to think about starting a blog surrounding my AG dolls.
    Best wishes,
