i remember those too. what were they called again? and why do you want to find out how much they're worth? are you wanting to sell them?

From what I found on Ebay, the buy it now price for an old cupcake doll (there are new ones out now) is around $10.00 Canadian for a new one still in the box.

if they were worth more i would have considered selling the few that i have as i have found myself in financial trouble, but for now i shall keep them, i find it difficult to part with all my old toys from when i was little.

i understand that completely. it's good to care for ur inner child. i used to have some of those dolls too. i kinda wish i still had them. well hey how many do you have? maybe one day you could sell some and keep the others. if you do decide to sell any, i might buy a couple off you

They are coming out with a new line of cupcake dolls. In fact they should already be on store shelves. If you're interested.

OP, I'm sorry that I didn't have better news for you. Older toys usually take a long time to appreciate in value. Seeing as these dolls were made in the late 80's they aren't considered antiques and they're still very easy to find, both new and used. That's why they haven't gone up in price.

Toys in general aren't really worth collecting unless they're limited addition. Even then, you won't get a huge return on your investment.

At least they mean something to you, you can't put a price on that.
