World Girl (doll)

World Girls are a toy set of dolls that depict girls from every country and continent in the world. Every doll comes with its own book about the country it is based upon. The most famed appearance of the dolls is in the episode World Girls, when Muffy wanted to collect all the dolls from every country around the world. Sue Ellen wanted to get a loom for Pema, and Francine got a Babe Didrikson World Girl doll for herself even though she wasn't interested in them before.

In "D.W., Bossy Boots", D.W. bought a Marie Antoinette World Girl doll for Emily's birthday.

In "Cents-Less", Binky bought a Tammy the Tornado World Girl doll, which he considers an action figure.

World Girl Dolls​​


There are also a large variety of other dolls, such ones in the sports section of the superstore. In the sports section, it features World Girl dolls like Babe Didrikson and Olympic athletes. World Girls representing historical women also seem to exist, as Cleopatra and Marie Antoinette being two of the World Girl dolls.

Pema, the Tibetan World Girl, has been discontinued. According to the company, it's because she did not generate enough accessories due to Tibet being a Buddhist country.

Trivia

 * Even though there is an Antarctica World Girl doll, Antarctica has no indigenous or permanent population. Also, Antarctica is not a country, but a continent, although much of Antarctica is claimed by various countries.
 * Ludmila, the name of the Estonian World Girl doll, is actually a Russian name rather than an Estonian one, although Estonia does have a large Russian minority due to formerly being part of Russia.
 * The Marie Antoinette World Girl doll speaks French, though the real Marie Antoinette was actually from Austria and her native language was German, and did not live in France until she married French king Louis XVI. It also comes with cake plates and cake, based on Marie Antoinette's supposed "let them eat cake" statement, which she never actually said in real life. As with the above two, this might imply that World Girl is not as historically accurate as Sue Ellen presumes it to be.
 * World Girl dolls are inspired by American Girl dolls, which also come with books, unlike AG dolls they are not as tall (18 inches).
