Hey Guys! As stated, Im a new member, and recently dug out most of my old collection from when I was a kid. Im now re-hooked on collecting these guys and love all the helpful info here! I have 2 quick pricing questions. Whats a decent price for a flesh SHA, and is there a general way to price Class A/B sculpts? Prices on Ebay are all over the place, and I just dont want to pay WAY more than Ill ever sell them for if I decide to sell later. Thanks, and Im sure Ill have plenty more questions so please bear with me! Brandon

I believe the last one sold for 400
Class A's are fickle...depending on sculpt and popularity can range anywhere from 10 bucks to 400+
Class B'S are normally 2 to 3 bucks, more for a few popular sculpts.
Class C...normally a buck, less in larger lots
All these prices are based on my own experience. ..nothing more

Is it true that the real ones have the Y/S N.T. marking? Are there fakes with that marking? Thanks guys!

That is correct for the most part. If it's a "bootleg" then it might not have any markings or might say hong kong on it. You might also have other toymakers do custom castings of various hard to find figures. THOSE might still have the original markings, because in that case they are trying to replicate the original as much as possible.

There are two different types of legit figures that will have that mark. Keshi which is a Japan original, and Muscle that was released by Mattel. The Muscle version is made of sturdy PVC plastic. While the keshi is made of a softer rubber type of material. Feels like an eraser. Muscle version of SHA is where the monies at.

Kinkeshi (japanese eraser) - $15- $50 depending on color
Japanese reissue (rubber slightly firmer than eraser, glossy, has CHINA marking) - $5

So basicallly the Kinkeshi are worth approximately 10% of the same rare® MUSCLE figures? Sorry for so many general questions, again, I just want to make sure I dont accidentally end up spending 90% more per figure than I should lol.

SHA was just never officially released here in the US base set, so being so rare it's worth so much (all the super rare are anomalies, not actually meant to be rare like a chase figure). If it was officially released it would just be another common muscle, there isn't anything specially about it but that.

If I wanted to continue working on the flesh Kinkeshi set, would a 34 piece lot from Japan with non Muscle sculpts be worth $39?

Can you guys please give me a list of sculpts in the part 21-29 Japanese set are the rarer ones, and if you can give me a ballpark on their prices like you did with the SHA?
