General clarification on work content


* FollowTheLeader: In this case, them being said leader; while there'd always been some degree of "a doll with a story attached" around, American Girl was one of the first to take off the way it did. The success of the franchise led to myriad brands of 18-inch (or near to it) dolls, several with a similar premise of characters including ''Literature/MagicAtticClub''. Some of them, like Target's ''[[http://www.ogdolls.com/ Our Generation]]'' dolls by Battat or My Life As from [=WalMart=], are ''intentionally'' compatible with their ''American Girl'' counterparts, making their accessories and clothes a suitable low-cost alternative to items sold by AG. A number of companies, such as the Canada-based ''Toys/MapleleaGirls'', Australian ''Australian Girl'', or British "A Girl for All Time", apply the ''AG'' formula of characters and/or history to suit their national tastes. Meanwhile others market their ''AG''-like dolls as TheMoralSubstitute especially for devoutly religious or conservative parents, as in the case of ''[[http://www.dollsfromheaven.com/ Dolls from Heaven]]'' or the now-defunct ''Life of Faith'' based on the public domain Literature/ElsieDinsmore series. Even ''Literature/DearAmerica'' briefly sold dolls designed by Madame Alexander.
