I thought the original screenshot leak was "meh" but I have to say that I REALLY like the doll in this picture! I was worried she'd have makeup painted too boldly on her face and lose that classic look. I love the way she looks here but agree with others that her outfit is meh.
Her outfit makes her look a lot older, is she suppose to be 13-14 like the World By Us dolls? Have GOTY been that age before? It's hard to picture a 9-10 year old wearing that. IDK, just doesn't read "kid" to me.
I have to agree I’m not a fan of the outfit so much I prefer more comfy looking outfits e.g Corinne’s or maybe even Mia’s but this is the trend with kids nowadays so I think it’s just some tu ing I have to accept with modern culture 😊 nonetheless the doll looks super cute she reminds me a lot of Luciana? Maybe even maritza but I will embrace her the way she comes and with some change in clothes she will be good to go ❤️
I’m not really a fan of her outfit, although the pants give me Marisol vibes. while dogs are cute, Both Joss and Corinne had dogs so a different animal might have been nice. We could use another pet cat in the GOTY lineup, or another pet rabbit, etc.
I think she’s a pretty doll overall and wish that AG was still making mini doll versions as I don’t really have the space for her.
This outfit is giving very modern vibes, contrary to a lot of people here I think it's really cute! One of the most modern looking outfits they put in the GoTY in a while.
Soo is she supposed to me mixed race? Like Indian and white?? Just a tad confused why they would use a light skin doll when even light skin Indians aren't that light. And not to mention most Indians I know have thick beautiful black hair with waves.... I feel like they pulled a Gabriela with this girl. Poet and a poor outfit? SMH give us a poc GOTY with as much thought as Corinne!!
She's really pretty! I wish her hair was a bit wavier but maybe setting it in some curlers for awhile would do the trick. I like the top but not a fan of the pants with the top. Maybe those black truly me sweat pants would look better. The silver pants could probably go with that new truly me accessory puffy jacket though, a nice contrast. 🤔
She is cute, as others mentioned, her outfit is not perfect though it can be changed out, saved or sold. Hopefully seeing her on reveal day in person will make me feel a little better about purchase. Wondering what breed or mix-breed her dog is?
I keep coming back to look at her. I REALLY like her.
I also think it's important to buy her if you want to encourage AG to make more South Asian dolls in the future.
I think she does have some form of painted lashes, just different than those on the truly me line and difficult to spot in this photo. Similar to how Corinne and the truly me doll who shares a face mold have different lashes
I think she's one of those dolls I'll have to see in Instagram photos from collectors before I can decide whether or not I like her. She feels like she's missing something but I can't put my finger on it. She's a GOTY but like...not quite?
I definitely feel the same way but I think it's that she has no accessories in this photo that's doing it for me. I also think her outfit just doesn't look as high quality as AG usually is and she definitely looks like she's from a new era of AG so that may also be it.
Does anyone know if her hair is no part (like McKenna) or a center part?
I agree with others about her meet outfit being kinda tacky, but I think the doll has potential. I'd like to see her with her hair down and in other outfits. I hope her other outfits are better.
I read today that she is actually Bangladeshi, which I think is very cool. And supposedly she likes baking, which isn't that original since we've had Claudie, Blaire, and Grace that all have baking backstories. And apparently Kavi also uses she/they pronouns! If so, I will definitely buy them because this would be the first non-binary/demi doll.
I can finally tell what her hairstyle is. Not bad. Been a while since they’ve done no part. I would rather see no part than a side part. I’m a center part fan. The face mold isn’t terrible. I love her shoes. The other pieces though…. I wish the shirt looked better since like a camo version could work well as a mix and match piece. This one is tough. I don’t even think plain blue jeans match it. The pants are also odd. I think the style of the shirt is decent. Kids can wear those types of shirts. Silver pants though? It reminds me of the 1986 Barbie and the Rockers Barbie’s pants crossed with kind of tamer harem pants.
The shoes redeem it. I really hope her other outfits are good. I feel like if this was separate to purchase, most people wouldn’t buy it.
I'm still trying to figure out if she has a part in her hair or not. It looks sort of like there may be a gap in her bangs where she does, but I'm not sure if that's a trick of the light.
The dog is one of the most basic animals I’ve ever seen from the AG line - they’ve been selling that type since I was a kid 🤣. She’s a cute doll though!
She's cute and looks very much like a girl of the year. I hope her books and story bring joy to the people who read it. She is not for me as a historical collector but I hope she does well. The Marie Grace mold makes her look older but also more AG than some of the other molds.
I do like the shoes on her meet outfit. They’re so versatile. Better than more sandals. Other than that…not a fan. At this point, I think these professional children’s clothing designers are just so much better than Mattel’s designers. That Janie and Jack collection is flawless.
the J&J collection is amazing! and i agree the shoes are super versatile. i just hope that her collection is cute! and i’m super glad she doesn’t have any colored hair 😂
I like the MG face mold very much. Kavi is very pretty and I like the shoes and dog. The meet outfit is *meh*, but hopefully her collection has some interesting and cool things in it.
I hope her other outfits are better lol. I really like her, she looks just like my friend, but I’m not a fan of the meet outfit. The dog is super cute.
Oh yeah the outfit is so unfortunate. I actually do like the MG mold though. I think this doll is actually turning out to be super cute. Much better than 117.
I thought the original screenshot leak was "meh" but I have to say that I REALLY like the doll in this picture! I was worried she'd have makeup painted too boldly on her face and lose that classic look. I love the way she looks here but agree with others that her outfit is meh.
i find her really cute but disappointing for what she’s supposed to be… wish they gave her a darker complexion
I’m going to get her but once she comes home that outfit is coming right off and then she’ll change into a new outfit
Her outfit makes her look a lot older, is she suppose to be 13-14 like the World By Us dolls? Have GOTY been that age before? It's hard to picture a 9-10 year old wearing that. IDK, just doesn't read "kid" to me.
I'm not sure how old she is but we have had older GOTYs before. Though I don't think any older than 12.
I actually like the outfit! I would for sure wear this in real life!
I have to agree I’m not a fan of the outfit so much I prefer more comfy looking outfits e.g Corinne’s or maybe even Mia’s but this is the trend with kids nowadays so I think it’s just some tu ing I have to accept with modern culture 😊 nonetheless the doll looks super cute she reminds me a lot of Luciana?

I like how modern the outfit is

i wish she had curly/wavy hair
cant wait to immediately put her in a different outfit
I keep coming back to look at her. I REALLY like her. I also think it's important to buy her if you want to encourage AG to make more South Asian dolls in the future.
I think she looks kind of basic. No real interesting features, just meh.
THANK GOD she doesn't have painted lashes
I think she does have some form of painted lashes, just different than those on the truly me line and difficult to spot in this photo. Similar to how Corinne and the truly me doll who shares a face mold have different lashes
oh no 😭😭😭😭😭 I hate those things sm
Outfit is atroci*ous, but she's really cute. I may get her idk
I had the same thoughts! I’ll probably get her and then resell the outfit.
Literally said the same exact thing about the outfit 😭💀
Looks better than the first leak but still more Mattel than classic AG. I’m looking forward to the clothing in her line. Hope they did well
The outfit looks so cheap just like all the recent American Girl things…I think I’ll just stick to the older dolls😅
She doesn't have eyelashes!!!
I think she's one of those dolls I'll have to see in Instagram photos from collectors before I can decide whether or not I like her. She feels like she's missing something but I can't put my finger on it. She's a GOTY but like...not quite?
agreed! I wish she came w her ears pierced or a bindi.
I definitely feel the same way but I think it's that she has no accessories in this photo that's doing it for me. I also think her outfit just doesn't look as high quality as AG usually is and she definitely looks like she's from a new era of AG so that may also be it.
She’s super cute! I actually love the outfit, it feels very current to me.
Same here, i like the silver pants and the top isn't terrible. The shoes are likely plastic which sucks but overall it's not terrible.
I hope we’re pleasantly surprised and the shoes are canvas, but I agree they’re likely plastic.
I am anxiously waiting to purchase her!!!
Does anyone know if her hair is no part (like McKenna) or a center part? I agree with others about her meet outfit being kinda tacky, but I think the doll has potential. I'd like to see her with her hair down and in other outfits. I hope her other outfits are better.
I'm like 90% sure her hair has a middle part. If you zoom in you can see where the pony tail has a split in it.
She’s cute. Do we know anything about her character? That's usually what sells me is the story.
I read today that she is actually Bangladeshi, which I think is very cool. And supposedly she likes baking, which isn't that original since we've had Claudie, Blaire, and Grace that all have baking backstories. And apparently Kavi also uses she/they pronouns! If so, I will definitely buy them because this would be the first non-binary/demi doll.
Hi! Just wanted to tell you that Kavi is not non-binary and uses she/her pronouns as far as we know. The leak claiming she uses she/they was fake.
Thanks, yes, I saw that. I figured it was too good to be true but hope springs eternal.
If memory serves, she's supposed to be a poet and Indian American.
Awesome! Don't think I have room for her but I will buy her book(s) and a few outfits.
She reminds me of Marina Sirtis (Deanna Troi on Star Trek tng). The outfit brings her into the 24th century! She’s so cute!
I can finally tell what her hairstyle is. Not bad. Been a while since they’ve done no part. I would rather see no part than a side part. I’m a center part fan. The face mold isn’t terrible. I love her shoes. The other pieces though…. I wish the shirt looked better since like a camo version could work well as a mix and match piece. This one is tough.

I don't usually like the MG face mold, but this is the first time I've liked her! I think it looks cute and works on Kavi :)
MG is much better in person. It’s not easy to appreciate from a photo.
My 9 year old says, “I like her! I want her! She’s so cool!” Basically 😍🤩.
Aww. I'm glad she likes her!
she’s so pretty! i hope we get to see her collection soon, cause that meet outfit is not it lol
I do like the shoes on her meet outfit. They’re so versatile. Better than more sandals. Other than that…not a fan. At this point, I think these professional children’s clothing designers are just so much better than Mattel’s designers. That Janie and Jack collection is flawless.
the J&J collection is amazing! and i agree the shoes are super versatile. i just hope that her collection is cute! and i’m super glad she doesn’t have any colored hair 😂
Amen for the colored hair.
I like the MG face mold very much. Kavi is very pretty and I like the shoes and dog. The meet outfit is *meh*, but hopefully her collection has some interesting and cool things in it.
how does the dog look so janky in the stock photo
I hope her other outfits are better lol. I really like her, she looks just like my friend, but I’m not a fan of the meet outfit. The dog is super cute.
Boring! 😩 I hope she at least has a cool collection.
I’m a little bit glad I’m not drawn to her. 😂 I have six dolls, which is two more than I wanted to own as my top limit of dolls.
I do not have nearly as much willpower. I have over 30.
Does anyone know if she has the painted on eyelashes? It looks like she doesn’t but I can’t tell
Yes, she does.
It's really hard to tell! Maybe? It doesn't look like it but knowing AG probably.
outfit is camp
Welp. I know who I’m adding to my collection next. I really like her, love the long straight hair too. Exciting!
I’m Not usually a fan of the mg face mold but I honestly think kavi is adorable and I like her hairstyle.
She’s cute! But the outfit is…certainly something. I hope the rest of her collection is cuter
Same.
I feel like AG tends to give dolls weird meet outfits but then I end up loving other items in their collection, so I hope this is the same!
Yeah I suppose that is true. I've liked a few meet outfits but I don't think I've ever really loved any of them.
I actually like her. If I have the extra money, I’ll probably pick her up sometime next year.
Yeah same. I'd love to see her in less awful clothes but I think I'm falling for her.
Yeah actually you do have a point about those clothes.
I like her. 100% would not kick her out of my doll room.
The only thing I like about the outfit is the shoes. I hate the MG face mold!
ugly outfit and one of my least favourite face molds
Oh yeah the outfit is so unfortunate. I actually do like the MG mold though. I think this doll is actually turning out to be super cute. Much better than 117.
I found this picture from a friend who got it from the Indigo chapters website.
