Girls of Many Lands

Girls of Many Lands is a series of eight books and dolls that spanned several countries and time periods. The line was released from 2002 to 2005. The entire series was aimed towards an older audience of about 12 years old; the 9-inch-tall dolls were not for play, but for display only. The books were much more complex both in length and topic than the Historical Characters', and had much more detailed plots. Each doll had one elaborate, detailed, and non-removable outfit to resemble the outfit on the cover of her repsective book. Each book, like the Historical Central series, has information in the back about the social aspects of the era.

The series was originally released with Isabel Campion, Cécile Revel, Chou Spring Pearl, Minuk, and Neela Sen in 2002; Saba, Leyla and Kathleen were released in 2003.

Theories for discontinuing mostly lean towards the collection being unpopular.
