But there are few others which could earn you a tidy sum, with Humphey The Camel, and the royal blue Peanut Elephant still worth a few hundred quid.
Those with tags are usually worth more, and double check if there are any errors on yours as this will make it rarer, as well as being a first or second edition.

But vintage Pollys can still fetch around £450, depending on the condition and how rare it is.
Pokemon Cards were the currency of school playgrounds, and they’re just as valuable today - if not more.
The rarest cards are the first editions, printed between 1999-2000, and there are a few extra things to look out for.
If the rarity symbol - on the bottom right hand corner - is a star, a star H or three stars, these are worth more than a generic circle or diamond symbol.
