Scroll down for current items available from the Bradford Exchange

In the 1990's the Bradford Exchange released many beautiful collector plates featuring Marilyn Monroe. In recent years I have become very disappointed with the quality and originality of their collectibles. There has been a rash of collections released made of cheap plastic instead of porcelain.

Even more frustrating than the cheap appearance is the re-cycling of previous artwork, for example: the Diamonds and Pearls Collection, Christmas ornaments that feature a flat porcelain image of Marilyn, and even the new large plates shown below are all artwork lifted from previous plates. Could they not have hired a new artist to create fresh portraits? 

There has not been ANY new artwork created since 2000.  However, there continues to be new collectibles released at an alarming rate - all using the same images!  See what is currently available below.  Obviously, if you are a new Marilyn fan and have never seen or owned any of the original plates then these new items may interest you.  Plates are no longer a valuable collectible.  There was a time prior to Ebay when plates held their values, however, this is no longer the case.  So my advice to plate collectors is to only buy the ones you really like.  Buy them to enjoy today and not as an investment for the future.  I have a fondness in my heart for the early plates because I started collecting them as a teenager.  At one time I had over 50 collector plates and 7 complete collections.  However, today, I have only kept my very favourite plates from each collection.

Here are all the early MM plate collections that the recent collectibles are based on.
