A piece that needs no introduction. Veteran collectors may have seen photos of this one, but with only a total of two examples in the AFA population, it’s unlikely they have had an opportunity to acquire this MOTU grail.

We are pleased to present a hobby unicorn, the ultra-rare first release in the Evil Warriors series from 1983. This factory sealed example was freshly graded by AFA just last month. Prior to that, only one example had ever been graded by AFA in their 25-year history. To our knowledge, this is the only AFA graded Evil Warriors I giftset that has ever been sold publicly.  The box graphics featuring the huge MASTERS logo and the iconic action figures within make for an aesthetic that’s difficult to top.  The box is in great condition relative to this release. The window, although assigned a ‘y”, presents as clear. We have included additional photos at various angles to demonstrate the clarity.  The figures within are gorgeous. All three stand upright and are firmly secured at the waist with factory sealed weapon bags placed perfectly behind each figure. A marvelous piece, one of the rarest we’ve ever brought to market. Expect a bidding war on June 1st.

Encapsulated by AFA (75y, 70-75-85), #11369369
