Hi. I have just moved to the US from the UK. I inherited around 11 of these figurines from my Mother in Law prior to moving. Some are Leonardo and a few other makes. I want them to go to someone who would appreciate them, but I do not know anything about them and even if they are worth anything at all. If anyone could help, it would be appreciated.

I believe Judy is correct in the value of most of these dolls but the biggest problem that I see seems to be the large number of dolls listed for sale on many different sites. This means the market is flooded and sales will lower value and very slow to sell.
It is definitely a buyer's market and will probably stay this way for many years to come.
I'm afraid that you will probably have to do your own research since you have 11 dolls and mostly different brands.
If you decide to try and sell then your research will have to be with searching for each doll individually. Search for the brand name and any other information you may have from tags or markings on the statues.
You can also use descriptions like; dancing girl, pink dress, etc.
Look at the figurine and use anything you think someone might use to describe this figurine.
You may or may not find your exact doll but may find some very similar that you can use as a guide for listing your doll for sale.
Most people search eBay first but only a sold item will show a true 'value' because sold shows how much someone was willing to pay.
As to listing your dolls you can always start at a higher price and lower the price if no one shows an interest after several weeks/months. You will need several very good pictures (most of these could not be used as they are too dark).
Take a look at several listings and make notes of what catches your interest and then use the same technique.
Be sure to charge the correct amount for shipping as these are very fragile and will require very good packing.
I feel sure other members will provide more/different information.
Thank you for your responses.
I will put on Facebook Marketplace for your suggested amount and see if I can attract any interest.
They are not my cup of tea, although I am planning on keeping a couple as they are a reminder of visiting my mother in Law's in Yorkshire, where they stood along the mantlepiece!
Most of these Leonardo figurines, marketed as investments, are worth less than $20 each. I would put them on a Buy Nothing group or include them in your next garage sale. You can also donate to a thrift store and take it as a tax deduction.
Etsy has several Leonardo Collection figurines listed @ various prices:
