How much do Vinylmation’s cost?

This is a very tricky question to answer, as there are many factors to take into consideration such as the size of the figure, the series, is it brand new, is it a retired figure, was it discounted, etc. There are a few different recommended retail prices with prices usually starting at $9.95 for a basic figure for a Junior or basic Disney Store figure.

How much are they worth?

Every figure has a different value, depending on where it was brought and if someone has a connection for it. Some figures have gone up in value while others have decreased, the best way to check how much a current figure is worth, is to go onto ebay, do a search for the figure and from there you can see roughly how much a single figure is going for. This is also a good method of working out trade values for figures.
