In spite of recent beliefs that she does more to damage women’s perception of themselves rather than aid it, Barbie is an icon. So to celebrate previous anniversary of the doll, De Beers designed the $85,000 Diamond Barbie. With miniature white gold jewelry and an outfit with 160 miniature diamonds, this Barbie doll (which looks absolutely nothing like any Barbie dolls I’ve seen) is ready to hit the town. Well, she’s actually extremely underdressed to enter any place that doesn’t have the name of a mint and an exotic animal in neon lights above the door, but still, you can’t put a price on whorish luxury.

With so many advancements in technology, one would assume that toys would be more powerful than anything you grew up with. Such is the case with Bebé Glotón, also known as Baby Glutton in English, which sells for about $30 US. The doll is the first of its kind replicating the experience of a baby feeding on its mother’s teat. Through the best lactating toy technology ever invented, consisting of a bra which has flowers for nipples which get chewed up when the doll is full, Bebé Glotón is the perfect toy for the teenage mother-to-be or the creepy fetishist who can’t totally commit.

The handsome fellow you see above is the Steiff 125-Karat Bear, price unlisted, which was created for the legendary teddy bear company’s 125th anniversary.  Golden threads are knotted into the quality silk and mohair fur, which match his eyes, made of sapphire cabochons, surrounded by diamonds and placed in a yellow gold setting.  To top it off, he has a 24-karat gold button on his ear, because obviously he’d just look ridiculous without a bit of jewelry.  But in spite of the money put into making this fancy fancy bear, I can’t help but notice his creepy lifeless eyes staring back at me, like a trophy wife who fell in love with our lavish lifestyle but never quite fell in love with me.  Not like Teddy Ruxpin.  He wasn’t the best listener, but we could talk for hours.  Come back to me Teddy!  Come baaaaaack *sob sob*.

Despite being out for a couple years, the Nintendo Wii is as hot as ever. Now that heat can be taken literally, given that this is a $1500 Solar-Powered Nintendo Wii. With a built in monitor and a Nintendo Wii powered by the sun (both aided by a heavy duty battery), this portable(ish) product can provide joy for 8 hours. Though I have to say, there’s a bit of heavily laid-on irony given that you’d have to be outdoors to use the product, yet wholly opposed to actually undertaking the real physical activities you’re simulating with the Wii. You might as well read a book about a guy reading a book.

What you see above is no ordinary toy car. To commemorate 2008’s 40th Anniversary of Mattel’s Hot Wheels, celebrity jeweler Jason of Beverly Hills was commissioned to make this $140,000 Hot Wheels car. The 18-karat white gold frame car is covered in 2,700 blue, black, and white diamonds while rubies provide the red for the brake lights. A perfect indulgence if you’re the world’s wealthiest 7 year-old or if Liberace finds himself resurrected then suddenly blasted in the sternum with a shrink-ray. Because why else would you resurrect him if not to test your shrink ray? Duh.
