2001 - 2002 Lindsey

The first girl of the year was Lindsey Bergman, the first Jewish doll released from American Girl. (Rebbecca Rubin was the first historical Jewish doll to become a part of the American Girl collection.)  Lindsey was first available in June of 2001 and was available until December 2002. She was available from the Pleasant Company for $84.  Lindsey has dark brown shoulder length curly hair and bright blue eyes. She has adorable freckles (at the time, Kit was the only other doll with freckles). 

Lindsey came dressed in a super cute outfit which consist of a green dog t-shirt, a khaki skirt, striped tights, red boots, and a blue sweatshirt jacket. She came complete with a Lindsey book.

Lindsey only had a few items available in her collection. Lindsey's accessories were a blue laptop that doubled as a planner/address book for girls, Cd's for her computer, a messenger bag, notebook and pencil. This set retailed for $32.

Also available for Lindsey was her scooter. Her scooter set came with a metal scooter, helmet and wrist guards which helped Lindsey hold on to her scooter. Her scooter set sold for $34 and her entire collection sold for $135. The Lindsey doll was an Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Platinum Award winner.
