Pound Puppies

Just gazing at that photograph makes my heartache! Do you recall the cartoon character Pound Puppies? Pound Puppies, which first appeared in the 1980s, became so famous that they were given their own animated television special. Following the success of that show, two further television episodes and a movie were produced about these cute sorrowful puppies who were seeking to find a home. Pound Puppies earned more than $300 million in sales during the five-year period in which they were most popular in the 1990s, and they were sold in 35 countries during that time period. That’s… not a tiny sum of money to pay for a stuffed dog, is it? A first-edition Pound Puppy might fetch upwards of $5,000, especially if it’s still in its original packaging and in excellent condition.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Actions Figures

Do you recall how popular the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were when they first came out? The lads first appeared on the scene in the mid-1980s, but their popularity skyrocketed in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Comic novels, movies, television shows, and, yes, action figures have all been produced about the pizza-loving crime-fighting turtles, who were raised by a rat sensei as children. Considering how old – and worn! – the majority of these action figures are now, it’s no surprise that the first-generation figurines fetch such high prices. One action figure in good condition with the original packaging can be worth up to $600 if it is sold for the right price. However, if you have a very valuable one, you might earn up to $5,000!
