Runaway Pup Part 2!!!

Hello everyone!! I hope everything is going well as we all resume our normal schedules. Ah, the dreaded return of homework has happened!! Noooo!!!!! Anyway, as promised, these are the rest of the screenshots from AG's app, Runaway Pup!!!! (Click here for Runaway Pup part 1!!!!)































































 I could see a younger child under the age of 6 LOVING this game. I personally found most of the games boring. It all depends on the age of who is playing it and their likes. I got it because for an American Girl item I will pay $2.99, even if it is a bad app. I would have liked it better had it been free. It is up to you whether or not you like this app, I guess. By the way, my brother has enabled comments on his blog For Lego Lunatics. 
Sorry that it took so long to get part 2 up!!!

Winter Break!!

Ugh, don't you feel so sluggish when you are in the last few hours of winter break??? All I feel like doing is nothing, even though I have many more productive options. With the start of school tomorrow means the start of after school activities, and I will try to keep up with everything. I'm sorry for no Saturday Sites this week but Liz at American Girl Fan did a shout-out your doll site yesterday, which I thought made up for no Saturday Sites. Check it out here!!!! Well that's it for today. By the way, I made a messenger bag with two pockets and two colors of felt. Should I do a tutorial??? It is a very easy beginner project that can be made harder depending on what you want. Please leave a comment with your opinion!!! Thanks!!
Bye for now!!

For Lego Lunatics

Hi everyone!! This has nothing to do with dolls but my brother has just started his own blog about Legos. He would be thrilled if he got a lot of page views so please check it out. He would also be enthralled if you left a comment, though I am unsure if he has enabled comments. The link is forlegolunatics.blogspot.com. Thank you so much!! By the way, what do you think about my new blog design???
Thanks!!

Runaway Pup Part 1!!!

Hello everyone!!! Today I got my AG catalog, if you haven't gotten yours yet AG has a free catalog app for iPad that you can get. But the purpose of this post is to give my thoughts on AG's second-newest app, Runaway Pup. It is second-newest to Saige's app, Paint Ponies, which I will not review unless asked to because it is free. Anyway, Runaway Pup is $2.99 which makes it AG's first paid app. Personally it is the worst one they have made so far, but then again it is rated 4+ which I find odd because they have rated all of the MAG stuff 8+. Weird. The game goes like this:





















































And that was only part one!! So what happens in the pictures I showed you is you start the game and go to the menu of which guide to be. You can replay the guide once you complete the app. You play your first mini game, Guide Gear. Basically you get to choose an outfit. Then the friend that is automatically set for you pops in the text you get. It is the same for every guide, the text Isabel got is virtually the same as the one Emmy got, only the names changed. The text says that your guide is waiting somewhere for the friend, they get a text saying that Pepper is lost, and then the friend shows up, blah, blah, blah. Then you play the second mini game, which is similar to Marisol's game and Saige's horse parade game. Thats all for today!!! Stay tuned for part 2!!!!

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!!!!!

Saige's app is already up!!!!



Saige!!!!

Well, AG has Saige up on their homepage. If you go to AG play page all of her games and activities are up. If you try to go to her shop page, you get redirected to a page with a few items on it. Oh well, AG said their site would be down from 12:00 central time to morning. I guess we all just have to wait. Oh well!! (Sigh)
