Thanks for the video! I'm an AG and a Maplelea collector. I love my Maplelea dolls, outfits and accessories very much. It's wonderful to see them appear more on YouTube!!!

Thank you for showing us in more detail the comparisons between these two doll brands. I really like them both but I collect more American girl. I am Canadian so I would love to add a few more MapleLea dolls to my collection. I only have Taryn right now. I really appreciated you showing how they can hold their hands together in a pose. I did not know that! Right away I changed Taryn’s outfit, posed her and gave her a mini OG doll to hold. She looks so cute!❤ I will post a picture on my community page. Thank you!

Great video! I wish I liked Maplelea dolls more than I do because they are very cute overall and I like how they can be more easily posed. I'm just one of those people who get the Uncanny Valley feeling from them 😭

If Saila ever restocks (the date keeps getting pushed) I’ll definitely add her to my collection—but I don’t know if I’ll keep her on this body, just so she matches the rest of my dolls. She’s got such a pretty sculpt.

I don't own a Maplelea doll so can't take measurements but own several pairs of the shoes and boots and a lot of the clothing. Here's what I think just by the fit. Maplelea boots are narrower but fit AG dolls. It seems like they are 1/2 inch longer than AG doll shoes. I could put them sole to sole and measure to get an accurate measurement but haven't done so yet. The narrowness isn't noticeable and fits fine. The only shoes they can't wear is open back like sandals and slippers because you can visibly see the overhang in the back. The extra length in closed shoes is in the front. They just look like they have bigger feet when two AG dolls are side by side and wearing the different brands. AG tends to make their sleeves on the short side (drives me nuts). Maplelea doll's arms (again not measured) are 1/2 inch longer and so the sleeves fit better and go to the top of the hand instead of half way up her wrist. Pants aren't as noticeable but I think they are 1/2 inch longer, too. All in all the Maplelea clothes are made better (Kudos to the Canadian manufacturer), fit better, and are cheaper per outfit due to the exchange rate. You can't drop photos in YouTube comments so I can't show the comparison but it is visible on the dolls.

I like the Maplelea doll than American girl.

Interesting comparison. I know that most American Girl dolls come with their own underwear, but what about Maplelea dolls?

What about comparing the hair on both dolls. Which hair is easier to comb and manage? thanks

I'm glad I bought Saila a few years ago and a lot of her indigenous clothing. She and some of her outfits are now unavailable and I am wondering if they will re-release her. One thing I missed out on is her Pang hat, but it is still listed as sold out for quite a few years now. Does this mean it will be manufactured again? Does anybody know? Thanks

I herd if you take the head off an American Girl doll theirs something inside the head or something printed that says when the doll was made
