“Given the prevalent wave of ’90s trends and pop culture nostalgia, we’re excited to celebrate like it’s 1999 with our newest historical duo Isabel and Nicki,” says Jamie Cygielman, general manager of American Girl, in a press release. If you take a close look at the twins' bedroom you'll see relics of technology's past: a dial-up computer, a home phone, an alarm clock, floppy discs, a portable CD player, and a Tamagotchi.

In fact, other than the tech, most items look like something you'd be able to purchase at Urban Outfitters in 2023, proving culture is a rabid circle.
