Soft Expressions dolls are made by DanDee and the value of similar dolls will be under $25-$35.
You may or may not find this doll listed for sale or sold (sold price = value) so in a case like that value is usually stated as the sold prices of similar dolls.

Check out eBay's sold listings to see what similar dolls are selling for: Soft Expressions: $3 - $30 - mostly below $20.

DanDee Soft Expressions:
www.ebay.com/.../i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=dandee+soft...

Your doll may be new - never removed from box, but it does appear that it may have been re-wrapped and not original cover.
All of these dolls are usually marked as 'Limited Edition' so that is not unique.
This brand doll has usually been sold at stores such as K-Mart so it was never a high value doll but some of these can still be sold for higher prices.

Dolls are also very slow sellers so even sold dolls may have been listed for months/years before they sold.

You did not write how tall your doll is, but I found dolls in similar boxes and judging by the arms of the same size. I even found a doll packed just like your doll: www.ebay.com/.../274256167293

So, you have Soft Expressions Collectible Bisque Porcelain Doll 12". Brand DanDee.
I can't make out your photo, but your doll should have a Certificate of Authenticity on her hand.

About the price. It ranges from $10 to $27: www.ebay.com/.../303621530611, www.ebay.com/.../373356113204, www.ebay.com/.../200399332563, www.ebay.com/.../274256167293

So I have this DanDee doll in its original box, never taken out. I've looked online and can't seem to find it. Long time ago, I noticed she has no eyes. Just wondering if it's worth anything?

Being a manufacturing thing? Just would love to know more on this doll that my mother gave me about 15 years ago. Thank you.

I am just wondering what these dolls are worth. I got them from my grandmother at one point and have no use for them around here. They are the Collectors Choice by Dandee.

Unfortunately the Dandee dolls were on the low end of the spectrum when new and did not hold their market value in today's resale market.

If she is a small doll (like 15 inches and under) she may sell for $1-$15. If she is taller, $10-25.

There are a glut of dolls out there. Now is the time to sell before Christmas. Be sure to wrap her very carefully if you are shipping because she is so fragile that she can easily be damaged in shipping. Use tons of bubble wrap and double box.

This will impact the shipping so be sure to put the correct box weight and dimensions so you don't lose money.

Post back how your sale goes!

So many brands of dolls have more or less been 'dumped' on numerous online sites that not very many will be of value higher than $25 and most will be less. Not only is the value low but sales are very slow.

Your doll is very pretty and may be a little unusual but her value will still be less than $25.
If you wish to sell her it would be better to list her on sites other than eBay or Etsy. Maybe try out Facebook Marketplace or any of the other sites you see advertised.

The value of dolls has declined so much in the past few years it makes it so hard to sell one of these dolls and earn much off the dolls. If you check selling prices people are lucky to earn $5 for the dolls right now. The market is bad for dolls and it is best to hold on to the doll and try to sell it when the market improves or list this in your local area and see if you can sell it for a bit more.

To be honest with you Collectors Choice has mass-produced dolls for years and they make quite a few dolls each year that they sell around the world. It is almost impossible to identify the doll and tell you the doll's name. The only way to do this one is to search online and try to find the doll listed on eBay or another site that is selling dolls right now. As for the value of the doll, this one has been very low for the past several years. The value of dolls right now is around $5-15 when selling them online.

A few people will ask a bit more and include free shipping. But after paying the fees and shipping cost they don't net more than $7-10 dollars. I would suggest that you look locally for a swap meet in your area or even a garage sale. Try selling the doll there. You can also download an app for garage sales in your local area and list the doll there. Selling on eBay can take months if not years before the doll sell and there are so many there right now the market is considered flooded.

Are the twins 12 inches? The 12 inch ones I see being offered in various places for 9.99 each, but sadly I haven't seen them sell in a long time. Sold prices are the true indicator of market value.

How tall is the gal in pink? If she is also 12 inches that would be her approximate asking price.

Thanks for sharing your cuties!

The value of all your dolls is determined by the company that made them and how many dolls were made from each lot. Normally these companies produce dolls in lots of 1000 to 2000 dolls. The market value for such dolls has declined in the past few years. Your dolls are now worth $5 to $15 each.
