VIVA LAS VEGAS SYDNEY CHASE - 22" TONNER SOUVENIR DOLL
This 22" limited doll to only 100 pieces from the Modern Doll Collectors Convention was created by Tonner specially for the occasion, and she's definitely a must-have.
The Sea Breeze doll's more limited and more expensive than the Hot Dots one, for she was a luncheon centerpiece at the Tropicalia convention last year. However, they're both pretty wanted. The Hot Dots gift set can still be found at a reasonable price, so I wouldn't think about it twice before getting one!
Although less articulated than Pullip dolls and maybe a little bit less warm-looking at first sight, Blythe seems to be slightly more wanted. Vintage editions are much more expensive than the new Neo editions, but any way she's not a cheap girl... at all!
BARBIE AS ALICE CULLEN - THE TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE DOLL Suddenly everyone wants this doll. Why? Who knows! She's just a Pink Label doll still pretty cheap in those places where they don't know about all this buzz. Maybe I should get a few of them myself...
Barbie copied her and now all the buzz about her is because of Barbie's success. Getting a Lilly doll in good condition is as HARD as EXPENSIVE, but collecting is all about going into hard and expensive quests. We all love challenges, and this is a pretty tough one!
BARBIE ROYAL UK / PARISIAN 1ST EDITION / ITALIAN - DOLLS OF THE WORLD These three dolls inaugurated the everlasting Dolls of the World collection, and their value is therefore pretty high; mostly the Italian Barbie, who uses a face sculpt so unique. They can still be found in good condition, but in case you're seriously thinking of getting one of them, you shouldn't waste the chance if you got one!

MOMOKO DOLLS
She's a japanese 1/6 scale doll who's winning step by step the hearts of collectors and fashion dolls' fans. She's produced in limited quantities and her prices are never cheap. Getting one depends only in your passion for this sort of dolls; but considering the high reselling prices, she seems a pretty good investment to me!
APHRODISIAC & ANDROGINY - AVANTGUARDS AND MINI AVANT-GARDS DOLLS
These two 16" dolls are both very wanted for their rareness and attractive exceptionality. Their price is always up, but they can be found for purchase relatively easy. If you're not into 16" dolls and prefer smaller sizes, the Mini Avant-gards gift set is the perfect choice for you. The price's high as well, but you'll get both dolls at once!
BARBIE RUSH OF ROSE GOLD / PINCH OF PLATINUM / GLIMMER OF GOLD / SPLASH OF SILVER - PLATINUM LABEL BARBIE FAN CLUB DOLLS I remember I had the chance to get Splash of Silver Barbie doll for a pretty reasonable price when the other three dolls were not out yet. I didn't, and I regret it: these dolls are becoming more and more wanted. Many collectors admit none of the four is really gorgeous, but taking a look at their reselling prices, I don't think THAT matters... at all!
POPPY PARKER THE YOUNG SOPHISTICATE - W CLUB 2013 EXCLUSIVE DOLL
Poppy is getting pretty exclusive this year! Just for W Club members and for those willing to pay a lot more. She and her dog Petunia are ready to become your favourite treasure to romance.
POPPY PARKER TO THE FAIR! / KYORI SATO LOVE THE ONE... - W CLUB 2013 EXCLUSIVE UPGRADE DOLLS
They're not even out yet and they're both already very wanted. With Tulabelle, The Holograms and the London Calling Dynamite Girls collection not seeming to get the massive enthusiasm some would have expected, collectors are starving for really top class dolls from Integrity Toys. Glamour is wanted, bring them on!
JEM CLASSIC / HOLLYWOOD - ULTRA LIMITED / SPECIAL EDITION DOLLS
We all knew they'd be very wanted in a few months after their release. Even the old Jem dolls made by Hasbro some decades ago are seeing now their prices rising thanks to these two exclusive Integrity Toys' works of art. Truly outrageous!
BARBIE CONVENTION DOLLS Yes, we all want a doll collection mostly built up on extremely exclusive pieces; but we all know how hard, and expensive, THAT is. I guess that's why the insane fever for convention dolls is driving collectors crazy every time one is released. They're the best of investments one can think of, and many times they're not even super cute dolls. However, a tag certifying the doll being a convention one is enough for the doll to become a must in any decent collection. Are these dolls really worth it? Well, the reselling prices speak for themselves: EX-PEN-SIVE!
EVANGELINE GHASTLY - WILDE IMAGINATION & JOE PETROLLESE DOLLS
Once again, Wilde Imagination brings us a whole world of magic and glamour: welcome to Evangeline's universe. She and her cousin Parnilla both come in limited editions of no more than 350 units. Excellence's always present and addiction's inevitable. The Ghastly girls are here to stay... eternally.
Dania Zarr Careless Love, Vanessa Perrin Temptation, Adèle Makéda Soul Deep and the Kyori Sato Deceptively Yours gift set are all editions of 500 pieces each. So edgy and definitely dazzling, these four dolls should be in your MUST list no matter what!
BARBIE JUBILEE SERIES - LIMITED EDITION DOLLS Pink Jubilee Barbie from 1989 is an edition of only 1,200 dolls given to guests attending the Barbie Doll's 30th Anniversary. She can be found from time to time and the price's always high. Gold Jubilee Barbie from 1994 is an edition of 7,300 dolls. She's not hard to find and the price, around 250 dollars, is still affordable considering the importance of the doll. Crystal Jubilee Barbie from 1999 is an edition of 20,000 dolls. You can easily buy her for less than 200 dollars. Crystal Jubilee Barbie In Pink from 1999 is an almost One Of A Kind edition of only 3 dolls!

Pink Jubilee Barbie from 1989 (no picture available) was created in an extremely edition of only 500 dolls in individual display cases by Mattel Canada for the celebration of Barbie Doll's 30th Anniversary. She's practically impossible to find; but if you do, get ready for a pretty big number!
