The collection, which went on sale Tuesday, pays homage to the American Girl brand's 40th anniversary this year. The original collection includes dolls Josefina, Kirsten, Addy, Samantha, Molly and Felicity.

Each doll retails for $175 and includes her signature outfit, a book and packaging inspired by the original design.

American Girl dates back to 1986, when a teacher who loved history created the first product line. In part, the brand is known for experiential retail stores where children can immerse themselves in the dolls' world.

"More than a product launch, it’s a nostalgic reunion, inviting longtime fans to reconnect with the stories and dolls that shaped their childhood," American Girl said in a release.
