American Girl has been capturing the hearts of girls and boys for decades—whether it's with their (newly reissued!) historical dolls or with the modern Girl of the Year, the company's dolls are a staple on lots of children's wishlists. No matter the doll, they're known for commanding a premium price, but right now, the brand's popular Truly Me collection is on sale for a great deal.

For a limited time, dolls (although not accessories) in the Truly Me line are on sale for $98, a 10% savings on the $110 list price. The Truly Me dolls (which, like the bulk of the American Girl line, rarely go on sale) are designed to represent the broad swath of kids who might want them—they come in a wide variety of skin colors, hair colors and types (or no hair at all), and genders, all with a variety of apparel styles, from an all-camo look, a skater dress or rolled-up jeans and a buttoned polo. (You can further customize the dolls by buying glasses, hearing aids, a wheelchair or arm crutches as well—just note those accessories aren't discounted.) No matter the child, they can find a doll that looks just like them.
The historical dolls were hits with modern girls (and their nostalgic moms!) when Reviewed checked out the reissued favorites—our testers were engrossed in the historical stories and loved the dolls' historically accurate clothing and accessories and their thick, perfect-for-styling hair. While the Truly Me collection doesn't have the same educational history element, the 18-inch dolls share the same builds and quality finishes.
"If parents are wary of splashing out for one of the historical dolls," said Reviewed parenting editor Anna Lane, "this is a good entry to American Girl, and lets kids select a doll that best reflects them."
If you've been considering a Truly Me doll for a special kid in your life, for now or for later, this is a don't-miss deal.
