Precious Moments Figurines
The idea for the Precious Moments figurines came from a minister by the name of Sam Butcher. In the 1970’s he rented a booth at a show in California to display and sell some of the artwork and posters he had created. By the end of the show he had thousands of orders for them. He was then approached by a company that wanted to turn his works of art into figurines.
It was a slow process though but well worth the finished results. In 1978 the first complete set of Precious Moments figurines was released. This set contains 21 figurines that sold remarkably fast. Today there are more than 1,500 Precious Moments figurines in the set. Even with all of the success, Butcher has never lost sight of what he started out to do – promoting goodness in the form of art.
The Precious Moments figurines have been around for more than 30 years. Some avid collectors have each and every one of them. They are often sold at retail stores and specialty shops. You can also buy them online if you don’t have a local retailer in your area. They make terrific gifts for yourself and for other people regardless of the relationship you have with them.
It is hard to find those early Precious Moments figurines for sale though. They are very popular figurines though and among the most popular ones sold in the United States. The fact that they are so well detailed, have a theme that promotes goodness and caring, and they are affordable means many people will continue to collect them.
