What Are Entertainment Collectibles?
What Are Entertainment Collectibles?
Entertainment Collectibles are items considered interesting, memorable, meaningful, attractive, or valuable (sentimentally or monetarily) that spotlight artistic works, designs, symbols, names, and/or likenesses ("intellectual properties") of brands that entertain us via movies, TV, theater, video games, comic strips, comic books, and books.
Retailers that want to feature an entertainment brand (i.e. Star Wars, Wizard of Oz, Looney Tunes, Justice League, Mario Bros., Peanuts, Cat In The Hat, etc.) on their product must first obtain a merchandising license from the copyright owner granting them the rights to do so.
Consumer products that bear the name, logo, and/or images of an entertainment brand pursuant to a signed agreement are referred to as "Official Licensed Products". Products that illegally feature an entertainment property without a license agreement are called "counterfeits".
Counterfeit goods are often of inferior quality. Conversely, licensed products are put through a rigorous quality control process so that they reinforce brand assurance and meet customer expectations. For example, when featuring the Looney Tunes canary, Tweety, there is a specific style guide that must be adhered to like the location of the eyelashes (see pic below).
Entertainment Collectibles For Sale
Having been passionate collectors for many years, all of us at Collectibles And More In-Store take the quality and legitimacy of the items we buy and sell very seriously.
Rest assured, the Entertainment Collectibles listed on CollectiblesAndMoreInStore.com are authentic and/or are officially licensed products (except the Sailor Moon Clock which states as such in its description).
In fact, most of our DC, WB, and Hanna-Barbera Entertainment Collectibles were acquired directly from the WB Studio Stores by our Chief Operating Officer while working at Warner Bros. Consumer Products.
Growing up, we looked forward to watching or reading about particular characters that made us feel:
- Cheerful because they made us laugh
- Safe because they were protectors
- Less alone because they were relatable
- Ambitious because they inspired us
- Camaraderie because they were a common interest among friends/family
Entertainment Collectibles are wonderful tangible reminders of those feelings. Collectibles And More In-Store has a vast selection of Entertainment Collectibles for sale such as:
