Check for cracks
Torso side cracks, arm cracks, and leg stress marks can reduce collector confidence. Photograph both sides clearly.
Inspect print quality
Faded, scratched, misaligned, or worn printing affects presentation and may raise authenticity questions for high-value figures.
Confirm accessories
Capes, helmets, weapons, stands, and unique accessories should match the figure and set context. Mixed accessories can change value.
Watch for mixed parts
A figure may look correct at a glance while having a replacement head, torso, legs, or hairpiece. Clear photos help reduce uncertainty.
