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 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 World Girl-version of Marie Antoinette is part of the France-collection and speaks French, but the real Marie Antoinette was actually from Austria and her native language was actually German (though she knew how to speak French). Marie Antoinette didn't start living France until she married Louis XVI.
 * The doll also comes with a cake and cake-plates, based on Marie Antoinette's supposed statement of "Let them eat cake," which many historians suspect she never actually said.
 * World Girl is inspired by American Girl, a line of expensive dolls that also come with books--one of the main differences is that the World Girl-dolls appear to be much smaller than American Girl-dolls (which are 18-inches tall).
