I met a woman whose husband collected 1:32 scale figures. He collected hundreds- American west, Napoleonics, WW 2… Now he has passed and she was wondering about their value. So basic 1:32 plastic figures, any value? B. |

I suspect so. Haven't seen them in quite a while, but haven't been in a large hobby store either. A lot of people like gaming with larger figs. Might try listing some of them here, first, since eBay charges so much. |

Really depends on the make and genre. Unpainted metal should sell well for just about any period in 54mm. Basic plastics aren't worth much. You can get close to retail on TSSD, Armies in Plastic, and A Call to Arms. Conte resells wells…especially the limited stuff. Reamsa tends to get a fair amount of bids when I am cruising Ebay. Marx recasts can sometimes go $1 USD a fig. Chances are the worth is all over the boards. If they are cheap clones you would probably be better served gifting them to a youngster. |

There is no way to tell without seeing the figures. He might have everything from 50 cent figures to collector's pieces. |

I sold some unpainted plastic ones, got about 20p each for them. If they are painted then remember pictures are what sells them. I sold the collection of 15/28mm figures for the widow of a friend of mine. Got about £3,000.00 GBP for the lot after eBay and PayPal fees. |

Are they in original unopened packaging? |

When I recently checkd the price for old Airfix 1:32 plastics some tended to be rather expensive… |

Yeah, we'd really need to see pictures. Prices are all over the board. Even Airfix is all over. 14 pc Italians in box might get $90 USD-$120 but 28 (29?) pc Germans in newer box might squeek by for $15. USD Who knows, might be a $350 USD Marx Custer in there. |

I'll post some photos, there are hundreds. I've been able to identify Barzso brand, CTS, and Marx. Now I'm working on specifics. Any online Barzso guides? |

Ive paid metal prices for some rare out of production Barzsos. The Minutemen and AWI British Grenadiers are still available so are worth less. |
| dBerczerk | 26 Jul 2016 3:41 p.m. PST |
Barzso has a website listing the 54mm figures currently available. They produced a wide range of figures spanning many periods, most now out-of-production. link |
