Nope, still have them. And actually, they've been a royal pain this summer...but I'm not allowed to have my wisdom teeth out because of my sleep apnea and allergies. Too risky.
I was never into dolls, but I do think there's a Canadian version of those. I used to get a mail-order catalogue for them right before the holidays (I don't know why, but it might've been because of a kid's magazine subscription?). That arcade machine is cool though. I wonder if it actually works? That'd be awesome!
Did they? I don't think they'd did when I was young. I know they did have a Canadian version of the Dear America diaries. Yeah, you probably got the catalog because the kids magazine sold them your info. I'll have to check to see if you can even buy the pacman console, and if you can, if it's playable.
Update: the game is playable, but also $150 USD. They went all out with the collabs, you can also get a Bonne Bell Lipsmackers, a Care Bears slumber party set, and a Pacman lunchbox. Also, her bedroom set comes with a Pacman shaped pillow.
Edit: And a Caboodles!
Yes, I think the dolls were called Maplea Girls or something? There was an Anne of Green Gables toyset with some. Came with the hat, dress, and a school desk? Something like that.
I loved the Dear Canada series! I learned more about Canadian history from those books than what I learned from school. It was cool hearing about the perspective of world events from the worldview of a fictional character around your age.
That does seem to be a lot of promotional material for one toy. Do the American Doll girls normally have that many collaborations? Speaking of arcade games, when I was in the US last, I saw an arcade game machine for sale. It was on display, so I played it for a bit. It was Galaga.
I really enjoyed the Dear America books for the same reasons. It was fun for me, as a child who enjoyed reading about history, to see it through a child's eyes.
For Christmas one year, I got Molly, and then another year I got her friend, Emily. And I saved to get one of those My American Girls so I have three in total. I still have them sitting on my bookshelf with the last teddy bear my grandfather gave me before he passed away

I poked around on the Maplelea website and apparently they are unaffiliated with American Girl, but they seem like a nice alternative for Canadians.
I really liked the Dear American books, too! A lot of them were really well written (or so I thought at the time, but who knows XD)
I don't know how it works now, but back when I used to get the catalogs, all the girls had a lot of accessories you could buy. There was the doll and her every day clothes, for the Meet ____ book. And then outfits and accessories for all her other books, I think there were 6 per girl? A summer story, a Christmas story, a birthday story, and I can't remember what else. Also there was a bedroom set and pajamas you could get. As far as I know, this is the first time there has been any brand collaborations, but I don't really keep up with American Girl. I think I was even only recommended the article because just earlier this week, I completely coincidentally was messaging my cousin about getting her kid an American Girl doll because they usually have one at Costco in the Christmas toys section.
When I got the catalogs, I remember Felicity, Kirsten, Addy, Samantha, and Molly, and then when I was bit older (but still getting the catalogs), they introduced Josefina. And then when my other cousin's kid was little and into AG dolls, I bought her gift cards, so I know they introduced two others, Kit and Julie. Plus they started doing this competition where a girl would have a doll and story made about her and they would sell it for a year. I wonder if they still do that. It's a bit strange...
Oh, and tbh, I wanted a Bitty Baby, too. Even though they're really intended for younger kids...
You can make one of your body parts detachable without any negative repercussions. What body part would it be and why?
Just one?
Yes. I'll accept it if it's like a pair, like eyes or arms.
Why would you want to detach your eyes
So I can bleach them more easily.
I said eyes
Yes.
Then why did you say "so I can bleach them more easily"
Cuz it's a joke. Like when you see something gross and you want to cleanse your eyes.
Anyways.... here's a random image of Cleo that will bless our eyes.

Naproxen is more for inflammation. For a headache, you'd probably want ibuprofen.

1986 is historical??? Wow, my mom must be old

Girl, I'm about to fight you 😤
ETA: Oh, I never had a doll, but I did get the theatrical computer game, which was awful 😂

My hair. So I can wash it easily. Like a wig. XD
Just one?
Yes. I'll accept it if it's like a pair, like eyes or arms.
Why would you want to detach your eyes
My boobs, then. To be more comfortable exercising and sleeping.
Not what I was expecting

Yes, they are.
That’s smart. I’d do my hair too.
Kidney! Feel free to donate it as well!
(question didn't mention anything about internal parts)
You have such a good camera
Minty, I like your signature gif! My family and I have been watching that show and just finished Season Two.
Also "Wechat" as well is going to be banned
as I've seen on news.
Their both chinese (does donald trump dislike China, which is highly likely as they started a global pandemic)
It was a joke
That's a good idea...
And that's a good idea...
