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 Beatles

The Fab Four arrived in good structural condition except for George whose head had been broken off and glued back on.  Cosmetically all 4 had a sickly pallor and yellowish tinge; this was due to the skin tones fading over time.  Compare John and George to a "healthy-looking" Jack Benny.


Here is a "healthy" John and jaundiced John.
Paul's skin also wasn't Oil of Olay smooth.
Project completed and the clients were thrilled. 

                                               Ringo now has his real eye color--blue.
Here are the lads on display in Westchester, Il.
