18 of the Most Absurdly Expensive Toys in the World

That’s not a giant, working van right there, that’s a pretty standard little Hot Wheels car that was made in 1969 and goes for the not-so-standard Hot Wheels price of around $100,000 at auction.

That’s a regular version of the board game Scrabble, except for the part about it being made of diamonds and being sold for tens of thousands of dollars.

Now, you can actually get this for under $1,000, making it one of the most reasonably priced items on this list, but we have to include a kid’s toy car that includes leather seats, an MP3 player, and a detachable Android tablet.

Now, this is an expensive toy. The Nintendo Wii Supreme, which as you can tell from the pictures is coated in actual gold, can be yours for the low price of about $500,000.

Okay, so while a pacifier isn’t technically a toy in the traditional sense, we have to include any item geared toward children that are made of white gold and retails at a little under $20,000.

Kids love playing in little clubhouses, but you’d probably be better off just building one yourself rather than dropping more than $50,000 on this little house that has the options to add cable TV and air conditioning.

For the record, at $4.8 million, this small toy car is vastly more expensive than the real thing, thanks to it being adorned with diamonds and platinum.

You would think that for just under $14,000 this giant “toy” dragon would be something a kid could actually play with, rather than just admiring it and using it as decoration.

Coming in with a price tag of $9,492, it would almost be a better idea to just find your six-year-old an actual used Mercedes and buy him that than this absurdly overpriced toy.

It’s one thing to pay several thousand dollars for something you can actually play with, but there’s something a little perverse about spending nearly $3,000 on what’s basically a box to hold your toys.

If you’re looking for the absolute most expensive doll in the world, look no farther, because L’Oiseleur is an old, creepy looking thing that, astonishingly, goes for well over six million dollars in auction these days.

Arguably the most famous toy line for boys in history, GI Joe started out pretty much like a Ken doll who happened to be wearing Army clothes, and now that original action figure goes for more than $200,000.

It seems like the toys that cost the most these days are often the ones kids would never think twice about actually playing with, as is the case with the Lionel 3360 Burro Crane prototype that goes for more than $85,000 these days.

This one is extremely expensive because it’s so absurdly rare, as only five figures were produced with the Sultan of Swat wearing a blue hat, and that’s why, if you happen to have one, you can expect to get nearly $14,000 for it.

There was a time when Miami Vice was the coolest thing around, and a big part of that was the cool cars – which is probably why, if you have a classic Miami Vice slot-car set that’s still in great shape, you could sell it for around $1,500.

You knew we couldn’t make it through this without Boba Fett, and a mint condition, still in the box version of everyone’s favorite (and extremely overrated) bounty hunter goes for about $2,500.

Just like we couldn’t go without GI Joe or Star Wars toys, it’s a little crazy to go through a list like this without Barbie, and the Stefano Canturi Barbie goes for a staggering $300,000 thanks largely to the very real diamonds she wears.

A Teddy Bear is supposed to be something a kid just cuddles with at night, but frankly, if you ask us, paying more than two million dollars for some late-night, snuggly comfort just seems ridiculous.
