Collectors will be quite excited for this one: factory sealed 1984 giftset featuring Battle Armor Heman and Battle Cat.  MOTU giftsets are very popular amongst high-end collectors and when they hit the market, they don’t last long.  Our example presents beautifully with clear window (most windows have yellowed) showcasing the two iconic figures.  As with many of these sets, the Battle Cat helmet has detached.   The box displays beautifully with no tears or shelf wear and the reverse is clean and very white.  A piece of clear tape is present near the top midpoint of the box over Heman’s hand and at the bottom on the reverse.  The typical flap crease is present on the reverse but, like the clear tape, doesn’t detract much at all from the overall eye appeal.  We feel the box subgrade is rather harsh and this one presents much better than higher graded examples.  The top stabilizer bar is cracked and separated at one corner but does not exhibit movement nor detract from the display value.  Simply a great piece that many collectors would love to have in their collections.  Approximately 17 x 3.5 x 12 inches.  Encapsulated by CAS (75, 70-75-85), #10165662
