How this whole thing started....

If you've stumbled onto this blog you've probably realized there isn't much information available concerning the repair and restoration of these beloved Esco statues. After buying many of these figures and receiving them in badly damaged condition due to the demolition derby known as USPS Parcel Select shipping, I set out to see if I could restore these former gems to something worth keeping and displaying. After many hours and failed repairs, I've gotten the hang of it and now fix Escos as a hobby.


This blog will document my efforts and I'll be posting pictures and updates of statues I've fixed and others I'm working on.


Some of the statues pictured here have been sold and some will be offered for sale, but most of these have simply been added to my rapidly growing collection.


Esco Statue Price guidance.


I have tracked the sales prices of Esco statues on ebay for years and plan to create a price guide when time allows. For now, if you want my opinion of the value of a statue or if you want to know how much to bid or offer your statue for sale, feel free to ask. Include a picture or link if possible.

Esco President George W. H. Bush & Millie

President Bush arrived having suffered the all too common decapitation.  His head had been reattached slightly out of place and therefore left very visible crack lines.  George's base had also been badly damaged.
The good news is that the President's face and sidekick Millie remained in near perfect condition.


In addition to repairing the structural issues, I also repainted George though I left his face and all of Millie in their original state.
