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.
I can be contacted at kyddshop@comcast.net.

John Lennon
John arrived in many pieces.
His legs were also badly damaged, and in fact had only steel supports for feet.
where can i buy more ESCO statues? i have been trying to find a place other than Ebay. do you know how many were made? i want to collect them all I also want to have one made of me and my wife. do you know anyone who can do this???
I buy almost all of my Escos on ebay. I very occasionally find statues in 2nd hand stores on listed on Craigslist, but thet are so few and far between that I never bother any more. Ebay is your best bet for selection though pricing tends to be higher. I tried to keep track of all the various personalities created by Esco, but just couldn’t keep up as I continued to discover rare statues all the time. My rough guess as to how many different statues were made is 200. I love your idea of having statues made of you and your wife, alas I don’t know who would do that. How about a Bobblehead?
