Collectible Figurines

By:


Most of the figurines being collected today have been fan favorites for years. They get older and better and the followers increase as the years go by. One such family of figurines is the Disney characters. Every since Walt Disney commissioned the very first " Mickey Mouse" the characters have taken on a life all their own. Snow White, Cinderella and even Disney's Peter Pan are in the collector's circle.

Disney leaves no stone unturned. It is with great care that the company designs and sells a collectible figurine in all price ranges. The Disney Princesses and Tinker Belle are red hot right now. The "Lladro Tinker Belle Disney Figurine Vintage #7518 Rare LE" has a price tag of $2,500. This is considered a sale price for such a rare item. This is only the beginning of the price wars that rage for figurines like these. Any item from the early years of the "Disney Magic Factory" is fair game.

Fairies have long held a special place in the hearts and minds of people all over the world. It is a misconception that fairies only appeal to the very young, they also appeal to the young at heart and those who have just a bit of the remnants of the magic from centuries gone by. Fairies come in as many varieties and occupations as people and the artisans who create some of the finest are apt to add their own touch of mystery to each design. The Fairy Diva's collection is all the proof one would need to see that this is true.

"Angels" are also a very popular figurine with collector's, young and old. Some are very, for lack of a better term "sacred" and others are just sublime works of art that could bring a mist to your eyes. The angels can be stark and still or vivid with color and motion. Angels have been collected from the time the first ones were carved in stone. The fascination of these ethereal beings has captured the fancy of many of world's greatest artist and sculptors.

Hummel, Dresden, and Sam Butcher are all some of the most sought after figurines in the world. The "Precious Moments" by Sam Butcher are sold the world over and are one of the most recognizable collectibles ever created. This holds true of the precocious mice that were created 30 years ago or more by Annette Petersen. The "Wee Forest Folk" she created have become one of the best collectible figurine lines made entirely in America.
