If you know the Golliwog history, you know that original Golliwog was a child book character, a hero and not racist at all.
So nowadays, many manufacturers and collectors prefer to refer to him by the shortened version of his name, Golly or Golli, to avoid the possibility of causing offense, as unfortunately the word 'wog' has often been used as a racist term in Europe, even if it was not supposed to be.
