Are Precious Moments figurines worth any money?

Rare and valuable Precious Moments figurines in new or good condition sell for thousands of dollars. The majority of figurines, however, only fetch tens to hundreds of dollars. Collectibles that are limited-edition, Disney-themed, or from the original 1978 collection of 21 figurines are usually worth the most money.

Precious Moments Value: Overview

  1. Most figurines are valued somewhere between $50 and about $400. It ultimately depends on how many there are in circulation and how long they were available before being discontinued. Generally, the longer time they spent on shelves, the less they’re worth today. [1] However, there are a few collections that can be worth much more:
    • Items from the original 1978 collection can go for several hundred dollars, or potentially over $1,000 if they’re popular.
    • Rare or popular figurines from the Disney line can fetch over $1,000. A collection of them was once marked for $15,000 (although it included several mint condition and signed pieces).
    • Limited edition figurines can easily go for several hundred to over $1,000 each.

Factors that Add Value

  1. 1
    Rarity Whether because of its age or its limited-edition run, some Precious Moments figurines are rare to come across in the 21st century. These include 1978 versions of the original 21 Precious Moments figurines, limited-edition figurines, and chapel exclusives. A rare Precious Moments figurine is usually worth more than a common one. [2]
  2. 2
    Condition With any collectible, condition has a major influence on price. Items in mint (like new) or very good condition are worth more than items in poor condition. If your Precious Moments figurines are still in their boxes, or at least undamaged and well-maintained, you can ask a higher price for them than for damaged or broken figurines.
  3. 3
    Signature or Certificate of Authenticity If your Precious Moments figurine features a signature from company founder Samuel Butcher, it may be worth more than one that isn’t signed. The same goes for a figurine with a certificate of authenticity, which assures the buyer that it’s a legitimate collectible and not a reproduction or knock-off.
  4. 4
    Popularity While all Precious Moments figurines are cute, some are more popular than others. The collaborations between Precious Moments and Disney are among the most sought-after. Certain holiday-themed or Biblical figurines are also fan-favorites for collectors.
    • Popular collectibles usually sell for higher prices than unpopular ones because there’s more demand for them.

  1. Precious Moments’ partnership with Disney allows them to create adorable figurines themed around iconic characters. The “True Love Conquers All” figurine from 2018 depicts Sleeping Beauty, Maleficent, and Prince Phillip in a dramatic scene. Its artful detail makes it one of the most coveted modern figurines. [3]
    • Value: Sold in 2024 for $2,364.
  2. “Love One Another” is one of the original 21 Precious Moments figurines, and the only one that’s never been retired. However, limited-edition versions of the darling statue about friendship have fetched high prices. In particular, the 9 in (23 cm) Easter Seals version from 2001 has sold for over $1,000. Only 1,500 were made.
    • Value: Sold in 2025 for $1,899.
  3. Back in February 2019, a Precious Moments figurine showing Disney’s Cinderella beside a horse-drawn carriage sold for $1,500. While the figurine is one of the newer ones in the Precious Moments lineup, only 1,500 were made, inflating its value past many of the vintage statues. [4]
    • Value: Sold in 2019 for $1,500.
  4. In 2014, Precious Moments and Disney released “The Power of Your Love Astounds Me,” an intricate porcelain figurine featuring the lead characters from the film Tangled . For Disney fans who love Rapunzel, the beautiful figurine is priceless.
    • Value: Sold in 2024 for $1,000.
  5. Of the original 21 Precious Moments figurines, “God Loveth A Cheerful Giver” is estimated to be the most valuable. The cute figurine of a little girl giving away puppies has sold for $250 and $188 over the years. [5] One Precious Moments dealer listed it at $750 in 2025. [6]
    • Value: Sold in 2025 for $450 (autographed).
  6. “Make A Joyful Noise” is another one of the original 21 figurines. It was retired in 2000, so it’s increased in rarity and value in recent years. One source reports that a version of the figurine sold for $409 on eBay. [7]
    • Value: Sold for $409.
  7. Precious Moments figurines with more than one figure on the base tend to sell for more than solo figurines. The limited-edition “We Would See Jesus” figurine depicts three characters, a play on the three Magi from the Bible. Issued in 2001, only 1,500 were made. [8]
    • Value: Sold in 2025 for $400.
  8. In 2002, Precious Moments released a figurine exclusively for club members to celebrate the company’s 25th anniversary. Titled “A Portrait of Loving, Caring, and Sharing,” it shows a cherubic family getting their picture taken.
    • Value: Sold in 2025 for $400.
    • This figurine was a chapel exclusive, meaning collectors could only purchase it at the Precious Moments Chapel in Carthage, Missouri.
  9. Seasonal figurine “I Will Be Glad And Rejoice In You” depicts a winter scene with a young boy and girl in a horse-drawn sleigh. The charming limited-edition figurine had an issue of just 3,000 statues. [9]
    • Value: Sold in 2025 for $369.
  10. If you have your hands on a complete Precious Moments set, it’s usually worth more than individual figurines. One popular set is a miniature nativity featuring nine individual pieces. Over the years, complete sets have consistently sold for over $300.
    • Value: Sold in 2024 for $345.

How to Sell Your Precious Moments Collectibles

PDF download Download Article
  1. 1
    Identify your figurines by comparing them to pictures online. Before selling, try your best to figure out which Precious Moments figurines you have. Inspect the figurine for any identifying information, and compare them to pictures on the Precious Moments website , Precious Moments retailers’ websites , or online marketplaces until you find a match.
    • Try to determine the name, year, and collection (if applicable) of each figurine.
    • Be wary of figurines that were reissued or have the same name. Look at multiple sources to verify the name and year of the figurine you have.
    • If you’re having a hard time identifying a figurine, it may be a piece from a set. Look at pictures of sets to see if it’s part of one of them.
  2. 2
    Research your figurines’ market value to price them. Check current and completed listings for your Precious Moments figurines on sites like eBay, Poshmark, and Depop. Get a sense of how much they’ve sold for in the past, paying attention to the condition of the figurines and whether or not they were sold as part of a set. Doing your homework will help you price them accurately .
  3. 3
    Visit an appraiser if you have a large collection or a valuable figurine. Appraising a large collection on your own takes a lot of time and effort. Plus, if you have a figurine that seems particularly valuable, it doesn’t hurt to get a professional valuation before selling. Visit a professional, certified antique appraiser in your area to get an estimate of the value of your collection.
  4. 4
    Create a listing to sell your figurines online. eBay is the most popular online marketplace for Precious Moments figurines and other collectibles. Before creating a listing, take high-quality photos of your figurines from different angles. This will entice buyers and make them feel confident they know what they’re getting.
    • When taking product pictures, “[you] always want to make sure that there's great lighting and that the background isn't too busy,” says social media marketing expert Candace Gasper.
    • Include a detailed description with your listing. Specify the name and issue year of the figurine, as well as any damage buyers should know about.
    • Set a price that’s competitive but fair based on the market research you did earlier.

How to Care for Precious Moments Figurines

PDF download Download Article
  1. If your figurines are in the box they were sold in, they’ll be worth more than ones that are missing their box. It’s tempting to take them out for display, but if you want to sell or trade them, leave them in the box.
  2. Over time, sunlight exposure can warp and fade objects, including Precious Moments figurines. The company recommends storing your collectibles in a temperature-controlled environment—so no attics or basements—and away from sunlight. [12]
  3. If your Precious Moments figurines are stained with dust or other grime, they won’t be as attractive to buyers. Use lukewarm water and mild dish detergent to clean them. [13] Dab at them gently with a soft cloth until the dirt is gone, then dab them dry with another cloth.
  4. Whenever you touch your Precious Moments collection, oils from your hands may stick to the items, helping dust collect and tarnishing their appearance. Avoid this by wearing nitrile gloves (synthetic rubber gloves stronger than latex ones) when you touch your figurines. [14]
  5. Accidents happen, but you can fix breaks or cracks to keep your figurines display-ready. The Precious Moments company recommends using Loctite Gel Super Glue or Duco Cement to repair broken figurines. [15]
