Depends on age. I collect Peko Chan, and most modern figures are very cheap. some older ones go for quite a bit, but usually not for more than $100.

i don't know anything about that other doll, but i love her!

Here's a bit of useless trivia: The "peko" in "Peko-chan" (pronounced "Peh'koh ch'an"), means "Hungry". The "Mitsui-chan" is the mascot character for the Mitsui Bank.
