The Dolls of the World series is my favorite one of the Barbie line. This is what brought me into Barbie collecting in 1995.
Dolls magazine has a report, Globally Gorgeous: Mattel expands Dolls of the World Barbie line, listing the 10 dolls that are in the international run for 2012 and the new features we are seeing this year.

The dolls that don't go on my desk
Here is a snapshot of the majority of my international / Dolls of the World. There are about 15 you don't see in the photo because, well, I need more shelving.
These are the dolls that don't go on my desk in the newsroom.
Most of them are not worth much - even if I had kept them in their boxes, which, I don't and that allows me to find dolls on the cheap. The known exception is Princess of the Nile doll, which is worth about $65. That surprised me greatly when I thought that would be fun to showcase that doll in honor of Elizabeth Taylor.
The reason these dolls stay at home is that the international dolls started my collection; and there's a lot of time and effort put into assembling this set. I still have a few gaps in the early years and with at least one of the known variations.
The separate pink box doll collection started specifically so I could put a doll on my desk.

When my international dolls visited the library
The card on the bottom shelf features the logo from my web site, and says “Find us on the Internet” with the web addresses for Barbie Collectibles and what was then my Barbie fan page.
