If you had an American Girl Doll growing up (Molly girl, here!), you’ll love the new meme based on the childhood toys that creates dolls with ultra-specific personalities based on what she’d be doing in 2022.

These nine “we need an American Girl Doll who...” memes will make you wish these dolls were real.

According to Know Your Meme, the American Girl Doll meme has been growing ever since Instagram user @hellicity_merriman’s began creating imagined American Girl Dolls with ~unique~ interests.

The account’s first “We need an American Girl Doll who” meme was posted on May 16, 2022, and Twitter was flooded with tweets of imagined dolls in late June and early July.

And she’s totally against the “Healthy Coke” trend, too.

Me and my American Girl Doll would be matching.

In her defense, it looks like every other suitcase.

A doll that can cry actual tears is a little too much for me, TBH.

The first she wants to know is your sun, moon, and rising.

Seriously, why hasn’t this happened already?!

We need a doll who has a closet full of Harry’s best outfits, too.

Relatable.

She wouldn’t be embarrassed about posting her BeReal 8 hours late, either.

American Girl Dolls launched in 1986 as a way to help illustrate historical events, but these new proposed Gen Z dolls are way more niche (and hilarious). Although, no disrespect to the OGs like Addy, Molly, and Kirsten. TBH, there’s room for the old and new.

I’m ready to buy my Stranger Things stan doll now.
