A question for any Rainbow Brite collectors out there

[goddessofpeep]

I'm fairly certain I got the accessories(boots and dress) for the vintage Tickled Pink doll.  Ghost of the Doll seems to indicate that she's a rare doll that came at the end of the line and was released in limited quantities.  I'm wondering if the dress and boots are worth anything on their own, and if so, how much?  They are in excellent clean condition with no tears or stains. 

Thanks!

I'm sure they are, but I have no clue what. (My Tickled Pink is missing her boots BTW.)

Yes, definitely.  I just bought a really NM and complete Tickled Pink for $65 (though I probably could have gotten her for a little less if I'd been patient).  I'm fairly new to Rainbow Brite and am no expert, but I'd think the dress and boots would be worth at least $20 by themselves, maybe more.

Sounds like quite the find! Good luck with your sale!

Congrats on your luck!  Hope you are able to find a great home for them!

The doll with her dress and boots is super popular; she goes for at least $30+ on eBay and sometimes more.  So, I'd say the dress and boots should be worth half that, at least $15?

I might be interested in the dress. . ,

About 6 years ago I helped a friend of mine sell her daughters' RBB dolls. They had two MINT condition Tickled Pink dolls. I sold them for $50 each.

ETA: Just found this on Ebay.

The other dress (Rainbow Brite's) is worth less than $5 so most of the sale price is for Tickled Pink's dress.

A big thank you to everyone who replied!   I found the dress and boots in a lot of accessories and ponies.  I'm always getting random stuff in pony lots, mostly junk that I'll never be able to identify.   This time I recognized these as possibly being Rainbow Brite accessories.  I went to Ghost of the Doll to try to make sure.  There they were, big as life:p  Even though the only 80s toy I really collect is MLP, it's always fun to find a little 80s toy treasure:)  The lot I got also came with what looks like a complete butterfly Shimmer, and some Jem combs:p  It was one heck of an 80s lot!

I'm not a Rainbow Brite collector, so the dress and boots will be for trade or sale if anybody's interested.  I'm always happy to pass on non-MLP stuff to collectors who will love it more than I ever could:p 

The white diamond with the pink star on the chest seems to have a *little* bit of dinginess to it(play dirt?).  It's not bad at all, but it's not fresh-from-the-package white either(unless it's supposed to be like that straight from the package).  The bottom tip of the diamond is curling up slightly.  Behind the diamond it looks like a backing piece of fabric is a bit creased, but it doesn't show on display.  You can only see it when you pull the diamond away from the rest of the dress. 

Other than that, the whole thing is pretty much mint.  All seams are good, no stains at all, the white satin trim on the dress is bright white, and all the pink fabric is a shocking pink.  The yellow crinkle fabric is perfect.  No fading, tears, or snags on the dress or the boots.  The velcro seems like it's hardly been used. Overall, it's just a lovely set!  I can provide pictures for anybody's who's interested.
