Rare Jellycat toys reach values of up to £1,200 as collectors seek limited editions

Jellycat toys have gained significant popularity, with some rare models now valued at up to £1,200. The company often retires products, increasing their rarity and demand among collectors. Limited editions, like the Bashful Kara Bunny, can fetch over £500. Experts suggest that keeping tags and packaging can help maintain a toy's value. Popular ranges include the Amuseables, with some pieces selling for over £350. Newer items, such as the Snowdragon and Sandcastle, are also expected to increase in value due to limited production runs. Collectors are advised to be cautious of imitation products. Seasonal Jellycats and retired items, like the Bashful Sherbet Bunny, are also seen as good investments. The market for Jellycat toys continues to grow, attracting both gift-givers and collectors.
