Top 10 Wizard of Oz Figurines You Must Own

by

The Wizard of Oz is a classic movie that has some of the most memorable characters. Any serious collector has to have the main characters captured in miniature as Wizard of Oz Figurines. One problem though, because of the popularity of the films and stories, there are literally 1000’s of figurines to collect.

Figurines are created on many mediums including cast resins/plastics, wood, glass or porcelain. Some are hand painted, others are glazed. Value is based on rarity, materials, craftsmanship and age. Below is a list of the Top 10 that would make your collection stand out among the crowd of other collectors. Some are expensive, some cheap, others rare, but all are adorable!

1. We’re Not in Kansas Anymore

   If you are unsure of how to start your figurines collection, you can start by owning a figurine that features the start of Dorothy’s plight that leads her on an unforgettable journey. This is made out of a glass substrate and stands approximately 7″ tall.

2. Follow the Yellow Brick Road

   Even traditionally inanimate objects can become major characters in a film themselves. Of course, no Wizard of Oz Figurines collection can be complete without a figurine of the Yellow Brick Road. This figurine features Dorothy, Toto, and the legendary yellow brick road.

3. The Wicked Witch of the West from LENOX

   Any movie without a antagonist is just not a movie at all. Equally, any Wizard of Oz figurines collection without the antagonist of the classic movie is just not a collection at all!

   This figurine was created by LENOX and is crafted out of hand-painted Ivory in China and accented with 24 Karat Gold!! This is one of the more expensive pieces and prices range from $99 to $140 in a sealed, unopened box.

4. Glinda the Good Witch

   Dorothy was so lucky to have Glinda, the much nicer witch, to help put her on the right path to finding her home. Glinda was Dorothy’s saving grace, and so could she be for your collection.

   This is a unique figurine with the land of Oz “embossed” into Glinda’s dress. This is an original Jim Shore sculpture with jewel accents and a glittery magic wand.

5. Toto

   He is cute, he is furry, and he has played a huge role in Dorothy’s journey down the yellow brick road. In order for a wizard of oz figurines collection to be complete, you must include Dorothy’s right hand man, or dog if you will, Toto.

6. The Cowardly Lion

   This loveable character in need of courage was the last friend that Dorothy met during her long journey to Emerald City. The big lion who at first frightened the Wizard of Oz gang became the most loved character, and could also be the most loveable item in your collection.

   This resin figurine from Westland Giftware’s Wizard of Oz Figurines Collection, measures approximately 3.75″ tall. He costs between $9-$20.
