In the United States we have Barbie, in Japan girls play with Jenny, and a parent in China can purchase... Bertha. Or Barrie. Or Bijiale. Or Pattaya Love. Or, if Modern Girl, Fashion Girl, and Beautiful Girl are too showy for you, simply, Girl.
Let's compare, shall we?
Bertha & Bertha (Deluxe)
Barrie: Beautiful Girl Set
Now, although Barrie here is missing that all important fourth-letter 'b' in here name, she still boasts "Handsome Appearance", "Vivid and Great in Style!", and "Various dress styles!" And, she promises "More new item coming soon!"

Ooh! She's friends with Snow White and a criminal sketch artist's version of Belle

Bijiale: Beautiful Girl Set, Fad disport
This photo is quite poor, but I got a good shot of the important parts, below.
"Best gifts for children!"
There is a caveat for perspective parents however:
"Specifications colours and contents may vary from illustrations. Please remove packaging and attachments before giving this toy to the child. Please retain packaging for future reference."
Pattaya Love
Collect them all!
Modern Girl
"New Fashion! Versatile! Beautiful Girls!"
Fashion Girl
"come dlickly to collect them all!!"
(oh dear.)
Beautiful Girl
"Completely new to come into the market!! This is a colleclion that you can't miss!"
Girl
I'm curious as to who or what the sticker with the Chinese girl is referencing.
