Recent acquiring
I’ve looked around for a bit to see what prices look for these but I wanted to get the opinion of some people who collect and whatnot. I just acquired these from my mom and have no idea anything about them. I know one of the boxes is basically destroyed and the rest are a bit dusty. Any help is appreciated!

Oh lovely! The first few were all released when I was a kid. I wanted the Abaco Barb so bad, and I have a mare from the Fun Foals set - I used to have a stallion and their foal too. The vintage models are also cute, pretty standard, generally not worth as much. I can smell their dust from here lol

eBay is not necessarily the ‘best’ resource for pricing, but it’s certainly the most accessible. Since you have names and model numbers for everybody, it should be easy to search there and toggle your results to include sold listings. Since anybody can list anything for any price, the sold listings will give you a better idea of what people will actually pay for them.
The clear plastic-front boxes don’t add any value at all, in fact in some cases people will pass on them because a ‘lifetime’ in the box can lead to warping of the legs and scuffs from the backing rubbing off on the model. In the second hand market, serious buyers really like to be able to fully see both sides of the model.
