American Girl dolls that highlight historical moments are being taken out of the past and plopped into the current era.

A new line from Mattel lifts six of the dolls out of their historical contexts and drops them into contemporary fashions.

American Girl's Historical dolls got a makeover to fit in with the brand's "Modern Era," with the iconic Samantha Parkington becoming a "trendsetter." See how the new dolls look.

American Girl's redesigned historical dolls spark fierce backlash from longtime fans who say the modern makeover "ruins the whole point" of the beloved toys.
