>>8870034Is that doll really worth $200 now? I bought like five of those dolls back when they first came out at Walmart for $16.88. Monster High wasn't a thing yet, but I thought I could use their (at the time) unique bodies, and clothing for custom fodder. Then I got lazy, and left the unopened boxes on the floor of my closet to collect dust for the next few years. They are still there with about three coats of dust on them.
I thought it took decades for toy lines to go up in value like that. Usually you have to wait until the children who grew up with the toy line to reach their 30s for the childhood nostalgia to kick in and prices to go up, but the kids who played with those MH dolls would only be in their 20s now. That's so odd. Young adults in their early 20s are normally giving their old dolls away to their younger siblings because there hasn't been enough time for nostalgia to kick in yet. Then when they hit their late 20s they start regretting the fact that they gave all their dolls away, and start to slowly buy them on ebay to reconnect with their childhood. Makes you wonder what's going on with the generation that grew up with MH dolls to cause their prices to skyrocket so quickly.
