Oh Spinnerella...why is she so expensive?

**Dayvid** · October 20, 2013, 10:50am

Hey guys! Asking a question here (but it's marketplace related too.. so don't worry!)

Why is she so expensive/rare? Did they make less of her or something?

PS. I have her mini-comic i think? (Where hope has gone) ?? ... i have NO idea it's worth though

Anyone?

**Mantisaur82** · October 20, 2013, 05:26pm

Yes, she was the last produced POP figure when the line was canceled..so there is smaller number of Spinnerella figures.

**Dayvid** · October 21, 2013, 02:28pm

Thanks for the tip! Makes sense now why Bubble Power she-ra, Netossa and Shower Power??? Catra are expensive. Guess she was the last of the last line.

By the way guys. I have Spinnerella's comic.. but also i think her comb? It's a deep/bright pink right? Not the pale pink / lilac. I'm pretty sure it's hers. Perhaps i'm building her piece by piece without even knowing hahahaha

**Mantisaur82** · October 21, 2013, 06:20pm

Dont forget Loo-Kee, Royal Swift Wind and Silver Storm...they all are the last wave (with all those you mentioned), and all are expensive/rare.

I just hope that when she gets done for classics, they do her justice. So far, there hasn't been any cloth on any figures. It's going to be interesting to see the 4H pey tribute to her vintage look. BUT HEY, on the up side, that means we'll get another chance at adding her to our shelves. (or in my case the mantle)

**Dayvid** · October 22, 2013, 11:55am

I'd love to get hold of them.. i don't have the sort of money though! Even if i did, odds on finding them are slim anyway. I look forward to seeing her in the classics line too! I do wonder how they'll work with her.

**deltadod** · October 22, 2013, 05:16pm

I just broke down and made a custom version (If I can get the original for a good price I still will though)

**Dayvid** · October 22, 2013, 07:11pm

Haha yeah, she's definitely one i want. I have her Mini-comic and comb (not sure why). I'm just missing everything else.......

**deltadod** · October 22, 2013, 10:19pm

I myself would love to have her base.

**LadyAngora** · October 22, 2013, 11:34pm

i am missing her shield... would love to get ahold of that piece. then, i think my collection would be 100%.

**rhea** · October 23, 2013, 12:33am

I have the actual doll, but none of the accessories. I bought a very nice custom outfit off eBay which I am very happy with. This past week, I saw one of her cuffs on eBay for $200...it made the custom outfit look even better to me!

**Dayvid** · October 23, 2013, 02:20pm

Just to have the actual doll would be cool! You're all very lucky!

How much do her accessories sell for? I saw her arm accessory for a crazy price... but what about her shield/back/comb etc?

**LadyAngora** · November 1, 2013, 12:30am

the only one i remember for sure was her shield went for, like, $20 all by itself, but that was at LEAST 5 years ago? so, i have no idea what stuff goes for anymore... i kind of stopped looking... though i regret not bidding on that shield!

It's crazy isn't it? I have her comb and mini-comic if anyone is struggling to complete her. I've pretty much told myself i will never get her and decided to sell the POP figures i have.. they are on the POP market place if anyone is interested

**wayneepoo** · November 4, 2013, 08:06pm

I got a Spinnerella about a year ago for a price I believe to be very good.....it was $250. She was missing the spinning base and shield, and crown, but had an arm band and skirt. I would really like to get that other arm band, but I'm not paying $200 just for a band when I bought 70% of a complete figure for only $50 more.

That's a really good price! She was up a week or two ago for a few hundred $$. She only had her skirt.. I just can't bring myself to do it!!

There is one arm band on ebay for $200 right now. Which is crazy as the doll w/skirt was on ebay for only $250.

I know, crazy! I guess that's why it's not selling

**headache79** · November 6, 2013, 05:00pm

Cuff marked down to $185. Spinnerella comb at starting bid 99 cents. It's too bad so many Spinnerella's have to be put together piece-meal.

I've wished for a couple years that Mattel would do some sort of Princess of Power Commemorative Collection like they did with Masters of the Universe a few years back. Just a handful of the hard-to-find figures including those last 5 figures.

There is a MOC Spinnerella (misspelled as "Spinerella" in the listing) on Etsy right now. If I had $7500 burning a hole in my pocket right now she would be mine!

$7500 is a ridiculous price!
I've looked at the piece on Etsy and yes it's MOC Spinnerella (US Card) but for that price I wasn't expecting a horrible yellowed bubble and the fact that Spinney's head is to one-side in the bubble, it's not a great display piece IMO. It should be half that price. MOC Spinneys normally have nice clear bubbles and collectors prefer her to be facing head on.
IT WON'T SELL.

**Magicat** · December 15, 2013, 07:27pm

I am glad to hear that $7500 is ridiculous! Having only been collecting for about a year, I have never seen a MOC Spinnerella listed and I really had no idea what is considered reasonable. I don't collect MOC so I don't know anything about packaging but I did notice that her head was facing to the side and knew from what I've read here that that detracts from her value. I pretty much have no chance of ever having any kind of Spinny - loose, MOC, or otherwise - in my collection barring a lottery win, but it's fun to look.

**Kowl** · December 16, 2013, 09:24pm

7500 is a completely ridiculous price! The US Carded Spinnerella is worth more than a Euro Carded Spinnerella, but not THAT much more. I'm not a pricing expert, but I'd say a US Carded Spinnerella is in the 2000-3000 range, not 7500. Euro Carded ones usually sell 1200-1700

**headache79** · December 19, 2013, 07:01pm

I saw that on Esty too and shook my head.

It will hopefully never sell for that price, otherwise it will encourage others with one to overcharge.

**mykan** · December 21, 2013, 07:31am

Lookee and Spinerella are crazy expensive. I have accepted that I will not collect either for my vintage collection. But I do plan on getting a custom of her done at a cheaper price...hopefully. Gotta get some quotes on that.
