Line 3:
* [[Promoted Fanboy]]: [[Abigail Breslin]], fan of the American Girls Collection, played the main role in Kit's movie.
* [[Vaporware]]: Rumors of a new American Girl doll, Rebecca, began to surface in the adult collector community as far back as 1998, when Mattel trademarked the name of the character. Eventually details leaked that she'd be the first Jewish historical, and after that, she seemed abandoned, with dolls such as Native American Kaya and '70s girl Julie (and the entire "Best Friends" line) appearing instead. Rumors of prototypes of Rebecca being seen by company insiders floated the entire time, with various descriptions given of her appearance, but most of the collecting world had given her up as an idea dumped on the drawing room floor. Following the retirement of Samantha in 2008, American Girl finally confirmed they were producing Rebecca, who was released in May of '09.
* [[What Could Have Been]]:
** Kit was originally intended to be wearing a differently-coloured meet outfit, along with a straw cloche hat as part of her accessories. The change to a knit-cloth cloche was done as it was found out that the initial batch of straw hats made as part of the accessories fell apart rather easily, and as explained by redditor and former model Caitlin Waite who originally lent her likeness to Kit in a post at /r/americangirl, they did the photo shoot for ''Meet Kit'' in its entirety with the pre-release meet outfit, but they later redid the shoot following the straw hat issue.<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/americangirl/comments/htr2o3/my_life_as_kit/ My Life as Kit]</ref><ref>[https://imgur.com/gallery/ZrsoXnL Me as Kit]</ref>
** Leaked renders of Maryellen's prototype meet outfit designs surfaced months before the doll's announcement; this was later shown in a coffee-table book by American Girl.
** Mia St. Clair was originally designed as black.
** Felicity originally was known under the working name "Lucy".
** Prior to release, McKenna went under the codename "Velma".
