Towards the end of the product run, Hallmark and Mattel attempted to inject new life into the franchise with the introduction of new character toys from the feature film and television program. At this time they were also promoting the products in other countries and tested sales in these markets with these new toys. These dolls were released so far into the end of the run, that many were never released at all or are extremely rare.
Those released were as follows
