If you’ve ever been to the iconic FAO Schwarz toy store in New York City, you’ve probably noticed the toy soldiers that greet guests as they walk in (and all the dolls and plush toys wearing the festive uniform, too). FAO Schwarz is teaming up with American Girl for a special toy soldier doll as part of the American Girl Collector Series, creating only 4,000 dolls worldwide.

The American Girl x FAO Schwarz 2023 Toy Soldier Doll is 18 inches tall, with light blue eyes that open and close, curly dark brown hair with caramel highlights in a side ponytail, a soft cotton body, and a vinyl head and limbs made from smooth vinyl. The doll wears a red velvet jacket with gold details and Swarovski crystal buttons. There are also real Swarovski crystals on the doll’s jacket cuffs, the belt buckle, the toy soldier hat, and stud earrings. The shako-style hat features gold-trim detail and an FAO Schwarz embossed clockface (surrounded by black Swarovski crystals). The doll also wears a satin belt, a three-layer black mesh-lined skirt, cotton underwear, a pair of white socks, white gloves, and black patent boots with gold elastic cord laces.

Each doll comes with a numbered paper certificate of authenticity, making it a perfect holiday gift that American Girl collectors can treasure forever. The American Girl x FAO Schwarz 2023 Toy Soldier Doll is available now at americangirl.com for $300 with shipping only available in the U.S. Get it before it’s gone to own a piece of toy history!
