Collectible statues & Collectible figurines

There are many differences between collectible statues and action figures. The most obvious is that the statues are much more detailed and realistic than the action figures. They usually lack moving parts, which means that the artist who creates the statue does not have to take into account anything other than that the statue should look as nice and realistic as possible. Usually, better materials are also used in the manufacture of statues than in the manufacture of action figures, which makes it possible to get a higher level of detail on the collector's item.

Collector statues are usually made in a limited edition, which means that they retain their value to a greater extent. Action figures can be produced in tens of thousands of copies, but a statue usually has a limited edition. After a collector's statue is produced in its limited edition, the original form is often destroyed, meaning that no more copies can be made.

Behind each statue lies the solid craftsmanship of an artist. Some artists are highly sought after. When an artist retires or passes away, it can greatly increase the value of a statue.

One of the biggest advantages of statues is that they are actually meant to be displayed. As long as you keep the original packaging, your statue will retain its value. If you take an action figure out of its packaging, it usually loses a lot of its value. If you're planning to build a collection that will retain its value, while not just wanting to keep your Star Wars figures lying safely in the basement, this might be something to consider.
