This doll, though possibly fitting some niche due to its 'ethnicity', is not worth much. These dolls folks ask about, on this site and elsewhere, as a rule are not worth much. Though they were not meant to be toys but marketed as collectibles, low demand and mass production brings their value way down. People bought them because they looked to them like antique dolls and were more affordable than the 'real deal', which, due to non-automated manufacturing methods and the rarity of time, indeed are collectible and worth something. Though not as much as ppl think simply because the market interest in them is not as high as in, say, iPads.
These 'collector' dolls were made by so many companies and artists, and during their day they were heavily marketed as a 'commodity that would appraise in value', so folks bought them, put them away under the illusion that they'd appraise in value. Not only did that not happen, but it never could, because the entire economic model on which they were based was flawed. They have hit the market causing much dismay amongst the people who 'invested' in them, as they have no value in today's market, which is now flooded with them.
Mass-produced dolls like this, even with a certificate and /or never taken out of the box, decrease in value and are usually worth $25 or less.
