Barbie has always played an important role in my life: when my sister and I were kids, we had exactly 12 Barbies and 1 Ken, with lots of outfits, some cool furniture (how could I ever forget that bright pink rubber sofa) and many unforgettable memories!

When the new Barbie movie released last month, I went to see it with a FAJO colleague and a close friend the day before it was officially out in theatres. You can see the highlights of our very pink experience in a reel on my Instagram page.

Thinking about Barbies made me nostalgic and so I decided to look up some vintage dolls as I was curious to see what I could find online. Not only were there many, many options, but I also noticed that the prices skyrocketed following the film’s release! Here are the Top 5 dolls that I found and liked best.

1. Bob Mackie Limited Edition Countess Dracula Barbie Doll
