The Action Figure Grader reviews recent eBay sales of various Kenner Star Wars items including loose figures, graded pieces, and playsets. Notable sales include a Cantina Adventure set for $18.25, a mail-away Boba Fett for $1,025, and a Sise Fromm figure with coin for $1,025.

Summary

The Action Figure Grader presents a potpourri edition reviewing diverse recent eBay sales of Kenner Star Wars collectibles. The review begins with a Cantina Adventure set that sold for $18.25, featuring a Blue Snaggletooth with clean boots but torso damage that would likely grade at 80 loose. The host then covers multiple items from Toy Scout auctions, including a loose complete mail-away Boba Fett still sealed in baggie with box and documentation for $1,025 (considered a great deal despite box damage), and a Red Bar R5-D4 for $637. Several graded figures are discussed, including a CAS 80+ double telescoping saber Luke Farm Boy for $1,231 (considered excellent value), a UKG 85 Luke Bespin factory error with misaligned eyes for $280, and an AFA 85 Yak Face for $980 (near fair market value). Two Blue Snaggletooth figures receive detailed analysis - an AFA 85 old case style toe dent version for $1,525 and an AFA 70+ bagged version, with discussion about whether the 85-graded figure would maintain its grade if resubmitted given visible boot paint degradation. The review concludes with a Sise Fromm figure with droid coin selling for $1,025, demonstrating the continued strong market for this character despite some cooling from previous $1,200 highs.

Key Insights

  • The host argues that an AFA 85 old case style Blue Snaggletooth with visible boot paint degradation might receive a lower grade of 80 or 75+ if resubmitted to AFA under current standards
  • The host claims that Sise Fromm and TIG Fromm figures continue to command very high prices across all formats whether loose graded, mint on card, or loose complete
  • The host suggests that $980 for an AFA 85 Yak Face represents closer to fair market value compared to higher prices sometimes seen, noting he sold his own for around $850
  • The host identifies significant grading inconsistencies when comparing boot condition between different Blue Snaggletooth figures, questioning why one with notable paint degradation received an 85 grade
  • The host emphasizes that resubmitting older case style high-grade figures to grading companies involves significant risk of receiving a lower grade than the original assessment
