American Girl's Joss, Gets A Sweet Surf Van.

In case you missed the awesome launch of JOSS - a hard of hearing surfer doll from American Girl a month or so ago - Joss is a fierce surfer girl who never backs down from a challenge—even if it means taking a chance on something new, like trying out for cheer. But landing a spot on the cheer team is harder than it looks: Joss is hard of hearing and often misses the count. She’s determined to prove herself as a cheerleader and a surfer girl and realizes that an all-in attitude and an open mind might help her fly higher than ever before.


Now, Joss has a tricked out VW Van that is pretty much everyone's dream van, if you surf or skateboard.


Joss loves riding to the beach in her brother Liam’s surf van—it has everything they need for a great day in the sun. They can sleep, watch videos, and hang out between surf sessions, and there’s plenty of pretend food to snack on! It has working headlights, turn signals, windshield wipers, and radio. There are sounds for the horn and ignition, and a button to push to hear a message from Joss. Plus, there’s a storage bench that folds into a bed, a pop-up stove, and a fold-out table.

Set also includes:

* Two graphic throw pillows for lounging
* A bed pillow for sleeping
* A blanket and sleeping bag for camping out in the van
* A mattress for the fold-out bed
* A patterned rug to keep sand off the van floor
* A beach scene towel for drying off
* Two sticker sheets to decorate the interior and exterior of the van
* Cooking supplies including a pot, a pan, and tongs for making meals on the pullout stove

* Two popsicles with wrappers
* A surfboard and two rack straps to attach it to the van’s roof rack

* A dog bowl for when Joss’s bulldog, Murph, comes to the beach
