About Journey Girls®

As the name suggests, the Journey Girls® are a group of friends who travel the world together. Each doll has their own unique leadership skills and way that she helps her friends along their adventures. Journey Girls® were formerly the private label 18-inch doll of Toys “R” Us stores, but were moved by the company to being sold primarily on Amazon in July of 2019.

 Journey Girls® Features:

  • 18-inches tall
  • Rooted hair
  • Hand painted faces
  • Painted and applied eyelashes
  • Vinyl breastplate and cloth torso
  • Recommended for ages 6 and up

    Journey Girls® Measurements

    Journey Girls® Measurement Sheet

     Journey Girls® Compared to American Girl®

     

    While the Journey Girls® doll is 18-inches tall, she has different proportions and measurements compared to an 18-inch American Girl® doll. The main differences between the two dolls are that the Journey Girls® have a slimmer cloth torso than the AG dolls. This means that Journey Girls® pants and skirts are quite a bit smaller than ones made to fit 18-inch American Girl® dolls. The Journey Girls®, A Girl For All Time®, and American Girl® dolls are pictured above to show that the three dolls are different enough in size to all require different sized clothing and shoes, but are similar enough to be styled together with the same scale of props and furniture.

    I love all of the Journey Girls dolls. They have such sweet faces; and I love how they have a vinyl upper torso. They look good in every style outfit too; which is a great bonus. I think Kyla is beautiful because her hair is styled so pretty and full, and her little face looks sweet as can be. Her skin tone is rich too; which makes me sure she would be a delight to sew clothes a some special little girl to enjoy. I love these contest. Many thanks to Pixie Faire and good luck to everyone!

    I actually like Kyla the most, she looks a lot like a little girl I used to know in the foster system. Not a perfect match, but close. Sadly the girl got moved on and I can’t see her anymore, but the doll just strongly reminded me of her so she’s the one I’m most drawn to.

    I love Kelsey though, I love her colouring!

    Wow! I have a little cousin whose name is Kayla and I know she would love to have this doll. I know she has a blond one but to have this one would be very special to her…I love these dolls, and alter the patterns just a bit to make them fit these dolls…they are a tiny bit slimmer and their feet are narrower, so it makes a bit more work but my little cousin appreciates the doll clothes I make for her…she takes them to school for show and tell….makes me proud !!! Her little friends are jealous. Thanks for all you do for us and thanks for the pictures and descriptions and Names of the Journey Girls…. Much appreciated.
