Growing up during the 90s was a magic time to be a child, and the toys that were being released during this time period were unforgettable. Who can forget one of a kind gems like the Furby or the I Choose You, Pikachu! toy that were all the rage? These are just some of the unique toys that we remember from our childhood. Tꦅhe toy business is something that is constantly evolving, and deciding if a toy is going to be a hit or a miss is a tough thing to do. There have been literally thousands of new toys that have hit the market since the 90s, and who would have thought that many of these toys would become worth a fortune.
Many of our favor💙ite childhood toys have explod♐ed in value in the past few years, and it's amazing to look at these many toys that we either disregarded or grew out of. Toys like the razor scooter have lost their popularity in recent decades, but other toys have begun to spike in interest as the collector market comes around. We look at items such as the Nintendo 64, which was not in style in the early 2000s but has since become an expensive “retro” item... and who can forget the Charizard Pokémon Trading Card that is worth over $4,000.00? We are going to be taking a look at some of the toys that we grew up with and see which ones are worth a fortune and which toys have taken a nosedive in value.
25 ꦇ Worth A Ton: American Girl Kirsten Larson
Once the height of girls' toys during the nineties, just about everyone wanted an American 🦩Girl Doll. These were like the new Barbie in many aspects, but who would have thought their value would shoot up as it has? A vintage doll from the nineties on eBay can fetch as much as $650.00, which far surpasses the original selling p꧃rice. The American Girl Dolls has recently come back into style, but it's not the new toys that people are looking for. Collectors are seeking out these vintage models by the dozen, so if you have one sitting around in the closet, it's time to pull her out.
24 ꦛ Worth Next To Nothing: Furbies 🤪
There was a point during the nineties that the Furby was the hottest selling toy in the world, and in-fact stores cou🌊ldn’t keep these little guys in stock. But, the Furby has since become a cultural phenomenon and although they have decreased in value greatly these are still pretty fun little toys. T🅰here are some Furby toys that have held a good amount of value, such as the blue New Millennium Furby, but for the most part, you can find these toys for just about nothing and there have since been newer updated Furby toys as well to hit the market.
23 W🌺orth A Ton: Deluxe Power Rangers Gold Galaxy Megazord
The ꦍPower Rangers have always been a popular franchise, and for kids in the nineties, there were many d🔯istinct toys to be had. The Deluxe Power Rangers Gold Galaxy Megazord is perhaps one of the rarest of all Power Ranger toys, and the model has become worth a fortune in the past decade. You can’t find one for less than $400.00 on eBay. Good luck finding one that is still sealed for anything less than that. We have a soft spot for the Deluxe Power Rangers Gold Galaxy Megazord in our hearts, and it's great to see one of the toys from our childhood shooting up in value as it has.
22 🌠 Worth Next To Nothing: Dream Phone
During the nineties, there were no dating apps, and the chat rooms were still new so how did a girl fantasize? Well, the Dream Phone was a unique toy that would let girls talk to the guy of their dreams. While this you never really achieved the height of popularity, it was still a rather unique idea, to say the least. Many parents didn’t find the Dream Phone an appropriate toy, and there was still stiff competition from other toys such as the Easy Bake Oven and the ne๊w Furby toys which were selling like hot cakes.
21 𓃲🌸 Worth A Ton: Mighty Max Playsets
One of the more unique toys from the nineties came around 𒊎the early decade, and they were called the Mighty Max Playsets. These one-of-a-kind collectible toys were both weird to look at and rather unique, which is partly why the series has exploded in value in the recent decades. There are sets that are being sold online right now for over $150.00, and this is far more than the Mighty Max Playsets were when they were new. This new trend of retro toys being “Chic” has really peaked interest, and thus the𓆉 Mighty Max Playsets are one of the hot retro toys rising in value right now.
20 Worth Next To No🧸🌞thing: Tamagotchi
Remember going to school with your trusty little pet clipped to your backpack? Well, the Tamagotchi was at one point one of the most popular toys on the market but it was sadly overshadowed by the Furby. The Tamagotchi was the first pet that you could feed, teach and grow right from a watch battery powered device and they sold like hot cakes. But, once the Furby and other electronic pets came onto the scene everyone seemed to forget about the little Tamagot🐟chi, which has since made a resurgence at Walmart.
19 Worth A Ton: Seg🏅a 🍌Genesis And Games
Perhaps one of the most memorable items of the nineties is the Sega Genesis game console, and like with other retro gaming equipment the Genesis has also been increasing in value. Finding a mint condition original console can become quite expensive, and the games hav💯e also been increasing in value as well. The Sega Genesis was at the forefront of the nineties video game revolution, and the model at one point was the best selling and most popular video game console on the market.
18 Worth Ne🐼xt To Nothing: Bop It
One of the more popular toys during the nineties, the Bop It was an inc🌃redibly impressive toy that had a lot of options and it made it extremely addictive to play with. We like what the Bop It had to offer, with a one of a kind style and a pretty addictive soundtrack that made it pretty fun to play. Many of us will remember having a good time with the Bop It, and the little device is quite unique, to say the least. The Bop It nowadays is worthless, and you can find original ones for just about nothing.
17 Worthജ A Ton: Princess Diana Beanie Baby
Who could forget the rise of the Beanie Babies during the nineties, which were some of the most popular collectibles that we have ever seen? Perhap🍰s one of the rarest Beanie Babies to ever hit the market was the limited edition Princess Diana Beanie Baby, which is a purple little bear that has a value of around $500,000.00. Surely these little Beanie Babies haven’t actually sold for this much, but a quick look online at a few auction sites will show that the prices are quite substantial for the little royal purple bear.
16 Worth Next To Nothingᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ: Super Soakers ♉
Wඣho can forget one of the most annoying and popular toys of the nineties, the Super Soaker? These squirt guns were sold just about everywhere and came in a variety of different price ranges and options, depending on how much your parents wanted you to soak your friends. Old Super Soakers can be found for just about nothing nowadays, as the toys hold no value and generally begin to crack and leak if they are left outside for a few summers. Still, the Super Soaker has left many of us with happy thoughts.
