When Marisol Luna was first introduced she was a ground breaking and somewhat controversal addition to the American Girl- Girl Of The Year line. Only the second Hispanic character in the company's almost twenty-five year history, and the only modern truly 'urban' character compared to most of the company's other caucasian affluently suburan characters.

Asside from Marisol Luna's love of dance, her struggle with class distinctions, gentrification, and urban flight, after her family's decision to move to a more affluent suburb were discussed and explored on many an evening newscast and paper article. This dolls first run became quickly sold out. Despite the controversy Marisol found unpresidented popularity that has spanned all ethnicities. Marisol is still one the best selling and popular Girl Of The Year characters ever.
