American Girl 18-inch Doll, Wednesday Addams Collector Doll with Black Hair, for Ages 8+
An American Girl doll inspired by Wednesday Addams.
The dress is highly detailed, impressively so. You’ve also got white sateen cuffs, an all-over white embroidered print and black buttons down the front. You can find a slew of other intricacies throughout the doll, including a freckled face, black nail polish and a faux-obsidian necklace that flips between the initials “W” and “M” — a gift from Wednesday’s mother, Morticia. You can also pose Wednesday as you please, thanks to her movable vinyl head and limbs.
The doll comes with some major accessories, such as a Thing figurine perched atop Wednesday’s shoulder and two faux plastic bags of piranhas swimming in water in reference to the opening scene of Wednesday. When you purchase the doll, you also receive a pair of black kitten-heel Mary Jane shoes, a pair of black cotton tights and a pair of black cotton underwear. As usual, when you buy a collector’s doll, you also get a numbered certificate of authenticity certifying your purchase.
This doll’s release comes at a perfect time, given Wednesday was just renewed for season three Wednesday (July 23). Wednesday season two will debut on Netflix in two parts on Aug. 6 and Sept. 3. The show was created by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar and is based on characters by Charles Addams. Tim Burton is an executive producer.
The Wednesday doll joins a slew of pop culture-inspired dolls launched under American Girl’s Collectors Series. Other dolls in the series include Cher and Dionne from Clueless, Elsa and Anna from Frozen and a Peaches ’n Cream Barbie. If those dolls don’t tickle your fancy, you can also make your own to represent yourself down to your socks and shoes.
