She is part of the Liv Doll range by the Canadian children’s entertainment company, Spin Master Ltd. Liv dolls are a line of four teenage fashion dolls that, ‘live the same life as any average teenagers, complete with detailed personalities, interests and challenges that girls everywhere can relate to’. The dolls each come with their own secret code that girls can use to enter into the online ‘Liv World’. Spin Master Toys began in 1994 when the three company finders launched, ‘The Earth Buddy’, a small panty-hose covered head filled with grass seeds that sprouted hair when watered. The company dropped the ‘toys’ from its name in 1995 and over the next decade, diversified its offering beyond traditional toys. Today Spin Master has headquarters in London, Paris, Hong Kong and various locations in the US.","physicalDescription":"Liv Doll called Katie.
