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. | |||

* 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. | * Even though there is an Antarctica World Girl doll, Antarctica has no indigenous or permanent population.

* Ludmila, the name of the Estonian Girl | * 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 World Girl | * 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). | |||
