Have you got any Barbie toys lying around? Here are the collectables that could earn you over £1000.
Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie have brought the iconic doll to life in a shiny pink film which hits cinemas on July 21.
Whether you're a Barbie girl, living in a Barbie world and you're just Ken trying to clean out your cupboards - this is the nostalgic memorabilia that could be making you a quick buck.
The team at Buzz Bingo has rounded up nine Barbie treasures spanning from 1962 to 2007 that could be with a small fortune.
They analysed hundreds of pieces of merchandise on eBay to find some of the most unique (and expensive) toys.
The team studied classic limited edition finds to rare and exclusive accessories to find out which ones could be worth thousands now.

Release date: 1997
How much?: £1228.07
Come on Barbie, let's go to school! This classroom play set is an ideal addition to any Barbie collection.
It is currently being valued at over £1200 online.
Although there are only 12 pieces in the set - and despite it being entirely made of plastic - it's scored the second highest price tag on the list.
Barbie and Ken ‘Little Theatre’ set
Release date: 1963
How much?: £1135.26
Grab your popcorn since the 1963 theatre set is listed for £1135.26 even if it is missing a few pieces and is made solely of paper.
With paper tickets, scripts and furniture, the set is described as ‘rare’ by its seller.
Barbie bedside lamp
Release date: 1999
How much?: £490.45
Despite only being 32cm high and sporting some general wear and tear, this Barbie bedside lamp from 1999 is one of the most expensive items on the list.
It's also important to know that other bedside lamps in the franchise made during the same year have even been priced as high as £106.94.
Even with the $12 label still on the box!

The oldest item on the list, this 1962 Barbie nurses' play set was priced online at £117.91.

Barbie DVD player
Release date: 2007
How much?: £78.82
This 2007 Barbie DVD player is the newest item to make the list, but could still make you almost £100 through resale.
