See What People Collect Today

Today I have chosen to tell you about some of the popular figurine series. Royal Copenhagen and Bing & Grondahl issued a number of cute figurine series from the 90's up into the new Millenium that became collectors items. Among these are the Freddie series with the cute teddy bear out adventuring.

There is a large demand and small supply of these figurine series. The figurines are among the hip collectibles today and many are hard to find. Figurines are the collectibles of our time. Therefore there are customers signed up for a number of the figurines.

Among the figurine series you find Freddie and his friendsthe Victor and Victoria seriesthe Millenium series and furthermore there are the mother's day and annual figurines, which were also issued for a number of years.

Below you will see some of the figurine series that we have available.

The Victor and Victoria series from Bing & Grondahl


The Victor and Victoria series was issued between 1997 and 2008 and show different situations in the life of the teddy couple Victor and Victoria. The series was very popular for its cute representation of the bear couple. Below you will find a sample from the series.

Victor waves his hands in the air and says goodbye to his friends on their way out traveling. He is in relaxed clothes with his sleeves rolled up in the warm spring air.
















Victoria with Handkerchief


Victoria, too, is out waving goodbye. She waves with her fine handkerchief, which she uses to wipe away the tears from her eyes. When will they meet again?
















The Millenium series from Royal Copenhagen


The Millenium series started in 2000 and was from the beginning set to last until 2005. The series was as the name suggests made to celebrate the new Millenium. The series quickly became popular and collectors are very interested in these cute figurines. The figurines show the children Emma and Frederik in different situations. The Millenium series consisted of the figurinesplates and plaquettes, where Emma and Frederik were the motifs.


Frederik on turtle

It is summer and the sun is shinning. Emma and Frederik has gone to the sea. Frederik has found a giant turtle to ride across the waves. It might not be fast, but he moves forward and on the sea he breaks the waves.











Emma on the beach

Emma has her flippers on, but has yet to entered the water. She has found a friend in a little turtle that happily greets her. She has also brought her teddy bear and has collected sea urchins and starfish.









Mother's day figurines from Bing & Grondahl


Bing & Grondahl issued mother's day figurines between 1986 and 2007. The figurines match the motifs of the mother's day plates and show all the cute little young animals. Below is a sample of the figurines.




Seal pup

This cute little baby seal is the motif of the mother's day figurine 2001. This little seal is quite adorable as it lies there looking longingly into the distance in search of its mother.












Kangaroo Joey

In Australia you also find mother's day themes. Here we have a small kangaroo looking for its mother in the outback. He probably misses the safety of the pouch, now that he is out in the wide world.









Annual figurines from Bing & Grondahl


Bing & Grondahl issued annual figurines between 1982 and 2010. These annual figurines were not a unified series with a common theme, but many different series in differing style. Between 1993 and 1998 the theme of the annual figurines was animals that were shown in cute situations.



Bear cup

This cute bear happily plays in the fresh grass and bites its foot that probably itches. It is happy to have left hibernation and to finally stretch its aching limbs after a long winter's sleep.
