Wanna feel old? American Girl just added a new doll to their historical collection. The adorable Courtney Moore hails from the era of crimped hair and acid washed jeans -- that ancient period otherwise known as 1986. The press release announcing her debut -- just in time for the holiday shopping season -- described her as “a total '80s girl whose big, bright and bold ideas inspire today's girls to find their inner hero to accomplish great things."

And the best part about it is that since the '80s were the height of video games and arcades, American Girl has teamed up with the Girls Who Code organization to help inspire young girls to explore technology and computer sciences.
