Figurine Collector Clubs
Taxonomy Code: PS-8200.1400-230
Programs that provide organized opportunities for individuals to pursue their interest in collecting figurines (carved or molded statues), often through the medium of a club or society which is under the leadership of people who are knowledgeable in the subject. Collectibles may include figurines depicting a particular subject (e.g., animals, dragons, unicorns, angels, cherubs, nutcrackers, Santa Clauses, clowns, fairies, gnomes); figurines by a particular artist (e.g., Lladro, Hummel, Hibel, Heuback, Wade and Armani); figurines representing characters from a book, television show or movie; and other miniatures which may be fashioned in glass, crystal, porcelain, clay, wood or other materials. Activities may include sharing information about figurines, criteria for their value and current prices; exchanging tips on purchasing, caring for and displaying figurines; and opportunities for members to trade figurines, attend shows or participate in auctions where figurines are being sold, or otherwise make further acquisitions for their collections. Included are Internet-based virtual clubs, WebRings devoted to the subject and clubs where members meet face-to-face.
