Jakks Pacific G.I.R.L. Force
Jakks Pacific introduced their line of G.I.R.L. Force fashion dolls in 2000. The name was said to stand for Glamorous Intelligent Respected Leaders, and they were given various special attributes in an attempt to stand out from the crowd. The dolls stood 11.5" tall with rooted hair and painted faces, jst like a standard fashion doll, but were designed to look much more realistic than contemporary rivals.
Their hands were finely sculpted with separated fingers, and the bodies were made of a seamless rubbery kind of plastic with an internal armature allowing limited movement of the elbow and knee joints. The dolls had painted knickers, arched feet, and sculpted rib detail. Jakks also tied their licensed dolls for Charlie's Angels (2000) and Josie and the Pussycats (2001) to the G.I.R.L. Force brand.
Although the line was short lived the bodies were popular with adult collectors, and dolls continued to be produced for other sellers even after the line folded in 2002/3.

The dolls were also sold nude in plain slimline boxes, sometimes rebranded as Paradise Lady Camelot of Fashion or Picket Fence Dolls. There were various face molds available, and a range of hair colours from black through to platinum blonde. The usual hairstyle was long and straight with a middle parting, but you could also get dolls with fringes (bangs) and some shipped with their hair pulled up in a ponytail.
