** [[NostalgiaAintLikeItUsedToBe Nostalgia-heavy]] articles, especially in the mid 2010s, lamented that the Historical Characters had "real problems and adventures" that taught children history--but were all PutOnABus and replaced by the more "vapid" Girls of the Year, who worry about shallow things like art, dancing, and go on unrealistic trips around the world. Firstly, the idea that the historicals have better, more relevant adventures is wildly exaggerated; while for example Felicity does "steal" a horse (by letting it escape into the wild), Addy escape slavery, and Sam speak up against factory dangers for children, what they do is over exaggerated to make the [[AuthorTract author's point against the modern dolls]] (as the articles are often written by adults who are thinking about their own childhood with the brand) and rarely to the level cited. A major one is how Sam is often claimed to have spoken in front of the factory owners themselves, instead of a local speech contest only in her small town which has no factories. Secondly, the Girls of the Year have never completely supplanted the historical dolls at any time; they're another separate line, and their concerns and worries are just as relelvant to their own current era. For example, Saige's concern about art addresses the concerns of school not being funded enough to offer artistic programs regularly. Grace's trip to Paris isn't a casual expensive vacation where she flits around the city seeing all the sights, it's because her mom is helping family and Grace goes so her parents don't have to worry about who will supervise her while her mom's away--''and'' she's only there in her first book. While it's true some Historicals were made unavailable as dolls and collections for periods of time, their books remained accessable through the company for years (and can often be found on the secondary market) and the historical line has always existed in some form since 1986, with new characters for new eras added fairly regularly to keep the line active. New characters were even added as older ones went away--Rebecca came out soon after Samantha was made unavailiable. "Brave" Samantha was not sent away so "silly" Isabelle could worry about ballet.
** Any click bait article that claims that American Girl dolls are worth thousands of dollars on the secondary market. The article will often link to eBay auctions that are listed for thousands of dollars for dolls and/or collection items. What's not said is how these auctions almost always end without a single bid or purchase. The majority of collectors searching on the secondary market don't want to pay high prices for secondary clothes or much more than $150 for a new in box doll, and that's for unique dolls that are harder to find such as Cécile or Kanani; even they can be found at sensible prices with patience or through direct sales among collectors, especially as children who had them age up and sell off old collections. No one's paying $2000 for a incomplete used Samantha in messy clothes missing her shoes and stockings.

* In February of 2021, Hasbro announced that they were renaming the "Toys/MrPotatoHead" toyline to "Potato Head", which made perfect sense since it had expanded so much from just the original character. The press release specifically stated that Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head themselves weren't going anywhere, but also touted inclusiveness and plans to introduce a non-gendered Potato family set. Naturally, media outlets ignored the first part and reported that Hasbro was stripping Mr. Potato Head of his gender, which drew a huge backlash, before Hasbro was forced to clarify things.
