The Spice Girls dolls produced by Galoob Toys in the 1990s were one of the best-selling celebrity toys in the history of the industry. Complete, mint-condition sets from the toys' original release date in 1997 sell for hundreds of dollars on auction sites.
The Spice Girls dolls weren't even supposed to be released until 1998, but the band was so popular that production was brought forward to Christmas 1997. The “Girl Power” series was in limited supply due to this pressure, and the line had Geri Halliwell wearing a Union Jack dress. Galoob has released eight different sets of Spice Girls dolls, but these original versions, with Geri Halliwell wearing a Union Jack dress, are the most profitable.
