Kit Kittredge's best friend, "goofy" Ruthie is the newest doll to join American Girl's flagship line. Dressed in a typical 1940's style floral dress with puffed sleeves and white cotton bloomers, the 18-inch beauty has wavy brown hair and gray eyes. She comes with a Really Truly Ruthie paperback book. American Girl. Ages: 8+ Ruthie is Kit's best friend. Her family is well-off compared to the financial struggles of Kit's family. The character of Ruthie adores fairy tales, idolizes movie stars, is generous and often tries to help Kit but sometimes wounds her friend's pride instead. Her accompanying book, "Really Truly Ruthie" by author Valerie Tripp, is set in late December 1932 and showcases how Ruthie helps the Kittredge family save their home from foreclosure. Ruthie is the 5th doll in the Best Friends collection and was released July 1, 2008 with a small collection in anticipation of the Kit movie. The Ruthie doll has an original facemold, dark brown curly hair and light gray eyes.
Ruthie Smithens 1934: Mini Doll (American Girl) From American Girl Publishing Inc Mini Ruthie doll american girl AWESOME!! Kids love to play with her!! Great stories ...I would HIGHLY advise all girls have at least one doll from American Girl...be it a mini or a full size. They are not only educational, but also enjoyable! perfect little American Girl mini doll Just as beautiful as the other American Girl mini 6" dolls. Great deal-- costs more at the AG website. Fast shipping. A+++ One of the best minis! I have all of the AG mini-dolls and just received Ruthie as a gift. She is so cute and I think she is one of the cutest and best mini-dolls. Her hair is soft, her clothing is adorable and well made, and she is a very good likeness to the larger doll. I would have loved having the mini versions of these dolls when I was a child and believe they actually have greater play value than the larger dolls, as well as the added bonus of easy portability. (I have a large number of the 18-inch dolls as well, so I am very familiar with them.)
