Beyonce (2005)
Buy It: Amazon.com
In August 2005, Barbie launched its Destiny's Child series, and gave typical frontwoman treatment to Beyonce, who was the only member of the trio available on her own. Although Beyonce originally retailed for $21.99, collectors have driven up the price of the since-retired doll, so get ready to spend those bills, bills, bills.

Gwen Stefani (2006)
Buy It: Amazon.com
This set of limited edition dolls featured Stefani in lots of looks. The dolls aren't currently out of production and only available through Amazon and other resellers. They're not too difficult to track down, but their prices have certainly gone up.

Britney Spears (1999)
Buy It: Amazon.com
In 1999, a toy company named Play Along spent millions to license and create dolls in Britney's likeness, using the products to launch their company. Today, the dolls are pretty hard to find and fairly pricey. So if you snagged one, keep her safe!

Madonna (2008)

Italian toy company Artist Creations made a run of these Madonna dolls to celebrate the release of her 2008 album "Hard Candy." The dolls are currently unavailable anywhere online and information, including any type of pricing, is scare. However, it does appear you might be able to commission your own Madonna doll via email, if you trust blindly sending your money to foreign countries.

Taylor Swift (2010)
Buy It: Amazon.com
Released in 2010, Taylor's doll wears a similar outfit the singer wore the "Teardrops" video and actually sings 30 seconds of the '06 acoustic ballad. The series also includes unique dolls for several other T-Swift songs, such as "Love Story" and "You Belong With Me."

Cher (2007)
Buy It: Amazon.com
Another limited run by Mattel, these three Bob Mackie-designed dolls capture Cher during different eras in her career. If you want these collector's items, get ready to break your piggy bank: they're rare and current prices range from about $50 dollars to over $1000.

Michael Jackson (2010)
Buy It: Amazon.com
This 10" MJ figure manages to capture a strong likeness of the King of Pop, decked out in a miniature, fabric version of the outfit he wore in the "Thriller" video. MJ comes in fancy, diorama-style packaging. . . though we doubt you'll be able to resist taking him out for a moonwalk.

Katy Perry (2008)
Boutique toymaker Integrity Toys produced a limited edition of these dolls in 2008. Unfortunately, they're currently unavailable, with no retailers or resellers (Amazon and eBay included!) offering the doll. After Katy's massive run on the charts, we don't expect collectors to part with their Perrys anytime soon.

Shakira (2002)
Buy It: Amazon.com
Mattel dropped a pair of Shakira dolls in the early 2000s, proving that even plastic hips don't lie. Perhaps they're working on a full-fledged action figure capable of pulling off the dance moves from the "She Wolf" video? We can only hope.

Debbie Harry (2010)
Buy It: EntertainmentEarth.com
Barbie goes new wave with the most badass edition of their "Ladies of the 80s" series. If you're a Blondie fan, Debbie is a doll you've got to have, one way or another.

Kylie Minogue (2003)
Buy It: eBay.com
In 2003, Jakk's Pacific released a pair of Kylie dolls, each bearing a different outfit the Australian diva donned for 2003's World Music Awards. Although it was never released in the US, the doll can still be found online for around $25.

The Beatles Russian Nesting Dolls
Buy It: Amazon.com | RussianLegacy.com
Available in "Regular" and "Sgt. Pepper" versions, these genuine Russian nesting dolls are actually shipped from Russia. Be sure to order them early if you want them in time for the holidays.

Barbara Streisand (2009)
Buy It: Amazon.com
Mattel captured the legendary entertainer in an iconic outfit she designed herself and wore at the Hollywood's Coconut Grove in 1963. Streisand's doll came out in Barbie's Pink Label Collection.

MC Hammer (1991)
Buy It: eBay.com
How vintage is this MC Hammer "action figure"? Well, it's old enough to come with its very own cassette tape, which features two songs and a "message" from Hammer himself. The toy can still be found online, with a second outfit (an aquamarine blazer/pants combo) sold separately. 

Cyndi Lauper (2010)
Buy It: Amazon.com
Released as part of Barbie's "Ladies of the 80s" collection, Mattel did a commendable job of capturing Cyndi Lauper's likeness. Ken finally has someone to slow dance to "Time After Time" with.

Elvis and Priscilla (2008)
Buy It: Amazon.com | Walmart.com
Forever reliving their wedding day, this pair of dolls was originally produced for Wal-Mart stores by Mattel. The set has been discontinued, but they're still found fairly easily on Amazon and other resellers.

Diana Ross by Bob Mackie Doll (2003)
