Title: Magic Attic Club
Post by: Duenia on February 08, 2017, 07:55:54 AM
Magic Attic dolls were a competitor for American Girl in the 90s. These are probably my favorite dolls, but finding other collectors seems to be a challenge. If I do run into someone I normally hear something along the lines of I thought I was the only one, but more often than not I get blank stares.

So anyone else collect them? Or even familiar with them?

If you aren't familiar and would like to see them (or just find extra information) I've found this site extremely helpful:

Oh! I think I read one of the books in elementary school. Didn't know they were based on dolls though  :blink:

Do you remember which one? I didn't actually read any of them until I got older (I was bored and it was sitting on my bookcase). Then I wished I had started reading it sooner because I loved it could have gotten others if I hadn't put it off so long.

I can guarantee I read the first one that introduces the attic, but even after looking through the rest of the titles nothing seems familiar  :huh: I can't think of any other book series I could have confused it with though! I just remembers girls and a magic attic  :lol:

It most likely was the first one, the two introductory books are the most common. There was the first one, and then there was another when Rose joined the group.

I don't have any of the dolls, but I do have one of the books!  It's the one where one of the girls (I want to say her name is Heather?) goes to a horse stable and enters a Dressage competition with a horse named Adagio.  It's a pretty cute book!

I believe you are correct, Heather has the equestrian set :)

I don't particularly collect them, I have a couple of the dolls. I have Rose and Alison.

They were designed by Robert Tonner who I collected other dolls that he has designed.

I haven't ordered from this place yet but the outfits are advertised as fitting Magic attic club dolls http://www.carpatina.com/dolls/categories.php?cat=10 (http://www.carpatina.com/dolls/categories.php?cat=10)

I've considered ordering some of the outfits because, especially the historic are so pretty.

I'm actually working on a Carpatina wishlist to add to my Magic Attic wardrobe :D

I have seen pictures of the clothes on Magic Attic Dolls before and they look like they fit.
