Geri Halliwell
The Geri Halliwell celebrity doll portrays her as Ginger Spice in the all woman band Spice Girls. The doll was made by Galoob (now Hasbro) in 1997.
The Spice girls are: Victoria Beckham as Posh Spice, Melanie Brown as Scary Spice, Emma Bunton as Baby Spice, Melanie Chisholm as Sporty Spice, and Geri Halliwell as Ginger Spice. This doll and the other four Spice Girl celebrity dolls in the collection are from the Girl Power collection.
From Wikipedia:
The dolls became a huge hit during the Christmas seasons of 1997 and 1998, selling over five million.
Eleven different sets of dolls were released. A “Sound Stage†playset was released and extra costumes “Spiceworld Fashions†(two sets of four fashions), later sold as “Spice It Up 2″. The most sought after line of all the dolls is the original “Girl Power†set. The set features Geri Halliwell in her iconic Union Flag dress. Dolls featuring the girls with outfits from their music videos were planned, but never released.
When Geri Halliwell departed from the group in May 1998, Galoob continued the line with all five girls. It was a year after she left when Galoob finally released the sets of dolls that only had the four remaining girls. More than likely “On Tour,†“Superstar Collection,†“Concert Collection, and “Spice It Up! 1″ were far enough into production that Galoob decided to release the Geri doll. Galoob was subsequently bought by Hasbro. Hasbro was going to continue the line into 2000, with the “Millennium Tour Collection†set for release in October. The Hasbro website had a page saying coming soon, but Hasbro stopped the line when the future of the Spice Girls became uncertain

The following is a Spice Girl’s doll commercial from Brazil from the late 1990s:

I have a 1997 and 1998 geri halliwell dolls still in box wanting to know if worth anything
The one with the Union flag dress is worth around $35 on ebay right now (Sept 27, 2021).
Use the Ebay link above to check but make sure you check the sold/completed option to see how much they really sold for rather than what is just offered. The On Tour one with the orange dress only about $10-15.
The polybands on the late 1990’s dolls are beginning to fail(dry up and crack) so many of the accessories like the camera, microphones, and mini dolls are dropping to the bottom of the unopened boxes. This often lowers what people are willing to pay for these dolls because they appear to be missing.
