That's funny. While I was doing some crap in Manhattan a week or two ago, I popped up from the subway, saw the store, and thought "my sister used to have those". I even had a brief chat with the girl I was with about them (she didn't have them growing up).
My sister had a couple of them. It was her "thing" for a while. Girls like that kind of stuff. Well, some do. 
I guess there better than build a bears. We took my friend's kids to a build a bear store and all the bears on the signs have this blank look like they are forced to build teddy bears as slave labor
.
Yes, my kids have them and we've done the whole American Girl weekend in Chicago. The host hotel even had an American girl bed for the doll. Downtown Chicago for $99/night & free breakfast wasn't bad. Now when we went to the store that was another story.
