Almost every little girl in America had a Strawberry Shortcake doll during the '80s and '90s. She was so popular. Did you know she actually started out as a design on a greeting card? From there, things really took off and her creator, Muriel Fahrian, was commissioned to come up with even more characters. After greeting cards, posters were designed. By 1980 the Strawberry Shortcake TV specials were on the air.
Despite the popularity of the television series, Strawberry Shortcake dolls weren't released until the mid-80s. Once they hit the shelves, the dolls sold like hotcakes all around the nation. Your Strawberry Shortcake doll could be worth thousands now, depending on which type you own. In general, you can expect between $300 to $1,200 for Strawberry Shortcake dolls that are still in their original packaging.
