Place of origin |
Character doll with an adult body, reverse socket head, slightly bent rigid arms and soft legs with internal knee mechanism. It is jointed at the neck, shoulders and hips. The feet are designed to have heeledshoes and the doll will not stand unaided. The hands are moulded with the four fingers together and a separate thumb. On the left hand is a 'gold' ring. The face is designed to represent Ginger Spice, Geri Halliwell, with blue eyes and red hair.
It is dressed in a blue nylon fabric sleeveless minidress, printed on the front with the red, white and blue Union Jack flag design, velcro fastening at back. The accessories consist of a pair of calf-length boots with thick soles and heels, bright pink plastic. A video camcorder, moulded black plastic. A handheld cone-shaped microphone, moulded black plastic.
The packaging consists of a window box of card printed in colours to show the title, makers' details, details about Geri Halliwell, the person the doll represents, photographs of the Spice Girls and Geri's signature. It opens top and bottom. Inside is a folded and shaped card insert printed in pink with white and yellow starbursts representing stage lights. In the back are sets of holes through which plastic covered wires are threaded. These are placed around the body and limbs of the doll to support it when boxed. The head is held by two plastic lengths which have to be cut away from the back of the head.","Spice Girls™
