"Let's talk about Vynil. Yes, Vynil. Not records, but dolls. This is a Beanie doll, and, no, it's not a Beanie Baby. It's a Beanie, as in Beanie and Cecil. Cute, huh? Look at his little beanie hat. This Beanie was made by Mattel, and this one actually is from 1949. And for 1949, he's looking pretty darn good. That means he's in his late 50's. He's looking pretty darn good. But we did notice that his propeller is a little bit broken. I hate it when a propeller breaks. Poor Beanie. So that does affect his value. This Beanie, if his propeller was perfect, and he is pretty much perfect. He's in his original clothing. So let's see what my antique store says he's worth. He's worth about $100. My guess is, it might be a little less because of this damaged propeller. Then we have something really cool. Let's look current--a Michael Myers doll. How awesome is that? This guy is so cool. What this guy does is he talks. Let's see. "Try me." Cool, huh? This is a current Vynil. This thing's worth more than Beanie, about $95. So, you don't have to be old to be valuable."
