Undoubtedly, some of the most sought after collectibles are Disney collectibles. The Happiest Place on Earth has sparked a worldwide phenomenon that makes us all love Disney figures like Mickey Mouse, Pluto, Goofy, Donald Duck, Winnie the Pooh, Pinocchio, and others. These timeless characters have been adored for generations and still continue their widespread popularity to this day. Walt Disney definitely had a winning idea.
Toys, books, Disney figurines, and other Disney souvenirs, clothing, and collectibles have been informally known as Disneyana since the 1960s and 1970s. This term was made popular in 1974 after the book Disneyana: Walt Disney Collectibles by Cecil Munsey was published. Throughout the 1980s and 1990s Disneyana enthusiasts grew to massive numbers. Now, there are an infinite number of Disneyana fans far and wide.
All your favorite Disney figurine collectibles can be found in a variety of places online and offline. Favorites like Winnie the Pooh figurines and Mickey Mouse figurines are among the best sellers. In fact, the online auction giant, eBay, has a wide array of Disney collectibles that are difficult or even downright impossible to find in stores. Many collectors turn to eBay for a reliable source of unique, collectible, and hard to find Disney collector's items.
Although Disneyana is not a copyrighted term, Disneyland does have a Disneyana store and eBay has a category dedicated to Disneyana items. One of the most collectible and cherished types of Disney figurines are those that feature classic Mickey Mouse, and of course, classic Winnie the Pooh figurines.
The most valuable of all Disneyana collectibles are those made during the late Walt Disney's lifetime (1901-1966). Disney figurines introduced since then are popular as well and celebrate later Disney creations like The Lion King, Pocahontas, and others, and while they don't hold as much collector's value yet they're sure to gain value as time goes on.
Since the 1960s, Disney products have been steadily gaining popularity with the ever-increasing supply of Disney fans. Nowadays, Disney is a beloved empire that is admired by people young and old. Disney is a way of closing generation gaps and remembering the joy of childhood even if your childhood ended long ago.
Disney figures make great gifts for children and adults alike this holiday season. Give the gift of happiness to those who need it most. Items from the Happiest Place on Earth can help make your home another happy place on earth!
