What’s Her Face!
What’s Her Face! is a fashion doll line created by Mattel in 2001. The line persisted until 2003 with multiple spin-off’s and redesigns. What’s Her Face! dolls were sold in the US as well as other countries with some dolls exclusive to Europe*. There is also an accompanying PC game featuring the doll characters and accessories.
In other languages these dolls are known by various other names including 1000 Faces, 1000 Visages, 1000 Faccine, 1000 Gesichter, 1000 Gesichten and 1000 Ansichten.
*This claim needs confirmation. Were the Fab Faces dolls sold outside of Europe?
