I was searching ebay everyday for a couple of the ones I wanted.But;then I saw the seller who I won a couple from;wasn't selling the rest.I figured why not collect them all.So;I asked him if he would sell them to me at the beginning bid price and he did.I guess he had to really get rid of them.His new wife's name wasn't betty and he had bought thme for his X.The rare sculptures;I had found two sellers that had them;but they wouldn't sell seperatley.When I found them this time;I asked the seller and she said Yes;because she understandwhat it is wanting to complete a collection.That is how I got them.I was searching ebay all the time!The best of luck;to you Mindi.I hope you too get the whole colection.:D ;) If I can help you;I will!You can count on me!;) :cool: :)

[bettyboopfan]

I am hoping to get them all!! :D

[Arendra]

Hello !

I live in Belgium (Europe) so I don't speack english ^^

I have 14 Franklin Mint' collection ! To your opinion, which is the value ? It is just for making me an idea because I no desire not no to sell them ;)

[bettyboopers]

HI, I have 2 of the Franklin Mint Bell Jars .Marilyn Betty and Biker Betty.

I heard that there were 15 . The Wizard of Oz and Gone With the Wind and a Frankenstein Betty . I got that info directly from the Franklin Mint when I ordered the 2 Bell Jars , but that was a few years ago. They told me that the 3 I listed were retired and couldnt be ordered. You might want to check Ebay . I have been looking for the other 3 but I never see them on there. So maybe you'll have better luck :)

Hope that helps

[Arendra]

15 ??? I would try to make a list of my bells jars ^^

[boopman]

Hi,
I just saw you never got a response to this.... Franklin Mint is very email unfriendly. Only way to do anything electronically is the place an order, or create an account. I didn't even see a Customer Service page; here is there website: http://www.franklinmint.com/help.aspx

[Bikerbettyboop]

Hiya all. I have a few figures if anyones interested?

Do you want to sell them as a set or individually?

[baby_boops]

Can I still buy them from the franklin mint? if not. Where can I find them at plz? :o

[Bikerbettyboop]

Hi Baby Boops welcome to the forum. It's hard to see your reply because of the color you chose for your text.

[cem]

Hello I to also have this figurine collection. I can check to see which ones I have and get back to you A.S.A.P when I find out. I have had this collection for sometime now(years) so I'm sure I would have the correct number that there may be. Hang in there and I will let you know.

Thanks, Another Betty Boop Fan

[cem]

Hello,

Yes I do have the other 2 figurines that exist in the collection. "Somewhere Over The Rain Boop" and Frankly My Dear, I Don't Give A Boop!" Just thought I would let you know that there is a total of 14 instead of twelve. I hope and wish you luck in finding them. It's really unfortunate that the Franklin Mint won't respopnd when collectors are trying to reach them. Oh well their loss!

[Bikerbettyboop]

HI Cem... sounds like you have some nice items in your BB collection!!

Welcome to the forum!!

[nosilanoxid]

I am considering selling my full 14 piece collection of the Franklin Mint
Betty Boop Glass Dome series.

Can anybody tell me where to sell these or if they are interested.

Thankyou.

[Carlie64]

There are indeed 14 in total.
The 2 yoiu are missing ate THE hardest to find. I have them ALL except for one.
The 2 you are missing are : Over the Rainbow and Scarlett O'Hara.
Good luck with it, to get the Over the rainbow I had to buy an entire lot of items I did NOT want just becaue she was part of it. I paid $330 USD just to get my hands on Over the Rainbow. I managed to find "Over the Moon or MoonGlow at a cost of $90 AUD. So now I search for the last one. It might kill me but i will find it !
Good luck !

[Carlie64]

ACK ! You have Scarlet O'Hara ???? *faints*
Oh dear lord give me strangth....lol

[Carlie64]

strength too

[Bikerbettyboop]

This is an old thread... wonder what ever happened with the collection?

[Carlie64]

Thankyou.

I am VERY interested in the "Frankly my dear, I don't give a Boop" but you are probably very unlikely to want to part with just one.
But if you are, let me know.
Cheers
Donna:cool:

[Bikerbettyboop]

If you'll notice the date that she posted this, it was Sept. 2007, so it's been almost a year, so you may not get an answer right away.

[bettboo]

Hi,I also have the complete set of these and was wondering what price they would get if I was to sell;)

[boopman]

Hi Bettboo .. . since these are rather recent and readily available, probably the best you can expect is to get what you paid for them. They have no premium value, and most people who may have an interest would want a bargain.
-Leonard

[vanpangita]

hi there ,i have about 8 or 10 of this collection amd i want to sell all of them ,,they are all new in the boxes ,most were never even opened ,and all have authenticity papers can anyone tell me the woth please?

[boopman]

Hi vanpangita . ..
Because these are recent, and readily available, there really is no set value. It really depends on who might want the whole set you have, or pieces of it, but it would be rare for someone to pay more than the retail value at this time.
In 20 or 30 years, it might be different.

Hi Everyone,

I've been collecting the Franklin Mint Betty's since 2003 and last saturday I completed my collection with 'Liberty Betty', 'Somewhere over the rain boop' and 'Frankly my dear, I dont give a boop'.

I wanted to say thankyou all very much for sharing all your knowledge with people like me who have no idea which ones to look for and where to find them. :D

I managed to get all of mine through Ebay, but thought I only had 1 missing until I looked through this thread in more detail. So THANKYOU all very much. You guys are stars! :D

[Bikerbettyboop]

Hey congrats on completing the collection! That is awesome!

[brit betty]

Thankyou! I was ridicuously lucky! :D

[paulapech]

Before Hurricane Katrina I had the entire collection and there were 14 in all. Sadly Katrina destroyed my home and took my entire collection of Boop figurines. I had about $15,000.00 of Boop collectables, my heart still hurts when I think about it.

[AngelGamache]

I only have one of these figurines but would love to have them all!
I've got 8 of them and trying to sell them just not into Betty anymore and have no room for them in my home will sell all 8 or as individuals

I've got the following:
Bourbon Street Betty
Boop La La
Broadway Betty
Moonstruck
Surfboard Betty
Hollywood Betty
The Boop-oop-a-doop Diner
Born to be Boop
