Most Valuable Ken Dolls and Accessories

It’s not only a Barbie world — Ken dolls have been an iconic part of popular culture for decades, too, with certain editions becoming exceptionally valuable among collectors. These prized dolls often possess unique features, limited production runs or significant historical significance.

From the original Ken doll to the latest special edition, these valuable dolls offer a glimpse into the evolution of fashion, culture and design over the years. We can’t list them all here, but this is what you’ll get for some of your favorite childhood toys (depending on their condition, of course).

Most of the Ken dolls below sold between June and July 2023, and their value will no doubt increase due to the popularity of the “Barbie” movie and Ryan Gosling’s performance.

The Crystal Barbie line is indicative of early-1980s glamour.
