New Hummels are made by a different company. You must also make a distinction between genuine "M.I. Hummells" cast by Goebels and the fakes. Check for the stamp. They should be worth more than the knockoffs. Don't be too quick to get rid of them.
On the other hand, the Hummel figurine were just popular with the Americans. Only sold in tourist trap stores. We prefer Holz figurine.
