The "On Stage" series, released in June 1999, was the first series not to feature Halliwell, who had left the group in May 1998.

There were plans to continue the Spice Girls doll line in 2000, with the "Millennium Tour Collection" set for release in October. However, the line was stopped when the future of the Spice Girls became uncertain. The dolls became a huge hit during the Christmas seasons of 1997 and 1998, selling over 11 million.
