My Child experts - I need HELP!
« on: December 05, 2015, 02:32:06 PM »
So I went to Goodwill today for their 50% off day. I found a teddy bear in a baby sleeper that caught my attention. I decided to look it up on Ebay from my phone. All I got from his tush tag was that he was made by Mattel in 1986. I searched "Mattel 1986 bear" and found one that listed it as a My Child bear. I had NO IDEA that My Child made animals! I never liked the dolls as a kid. But I've learned on here that My Child dolls are worth big bucks. I did another search for "My Child Bear" and nearly passed out when I saw the sold prices!  :shocked:  :drunk:

But these are naked. The one I got (for 99 cents!) has a sleeper and a diaper. So what's a reasonable asking price for one with clothes?

Here's the one I got.

Anybody have any smelling salts?

I've never heard of My Child, but that is the cutest bear I've ever seen.

They were a line of dolls from the mid-80s.

Wow! I'm sure you can get a nice price for it, but I can't help sadly.

I'm normally weirded out by toys like this but that is one of the cutest things I've ever seen. It even has a belly button oh my gosh  :lol:

Could somebody that's on Facebook contact this paerson/group for me please?

All the collector's websites I'm finding haven't been updated in 5+ years. It's looks like all the active collectors have moved to FB, but I'm not on FB. :(

I got some help from somebody on Instagram. He's up on Ebay now.
