The Most Valuable Collectors' Items in History

100. Vintage He-Man Figure

Manufacturer: Mattel, Hasbro
Original Price: $5-$20*
Current value: $50-$500*

For kids growing up in the 80s, He-Man, GI Joe and Transformers made up the “Big Three” of toys. Decades later, these vintage toys can be worth $ 50- $ 500 on the market. For example, a mail order Cobra Commander figure can fetch $ 100 on sites like eBay.

The packaged versions of these action figures will always be the best sellers, as the in-box nature indicates that these figures are of high quality. Figures of the original first-year Optimus Prime have been known to return US $ 300, while a Transformers Jetfire can net you US $ 200. A boxed vehicle, like the GI Joe Dreadnok Thunder Machine, can even net you US $ 500.
