POP 1 - This item is one of one. It is the only 12-Back example ever graded and authenticated by AFA in their 25-year history.
When it comes to rare MOTU giftsets, it doesn’t get any better than a one of one. Many veteran collectors are unaware that a 12-Back version of the He-Man & Wind Raider even exists. They are only familiar with the 8-Back release. Our offering may well be the only surviving factory sealed 12-Back version in existence, and it’s a beauty. This marks the very first time it has hit the auction block.
Our example, a beautiful factory sealed AFA 80, is certain to create excitement in the MOTU collecting community. The unique double logo on front, one at the top and one at the bottom, will result in an immediate double-take as collectors are used to seeing only the single logo on the 8-Back edition. The condition of the box itself is certainly commensurate to its assigned grade. Deep rich color with few flaws. The most notable imperfection is a bit of creasing in the upper corner. The back of the box, displaying 12 MOTU characters (not 8), is very white with no flap crease. Each end is factory sealed and there is no colorbreak along either front edge. The display window, showcasing the iconic He-Man action figure, is crystal clear. He-Man is firmly tied in place at the waist and biceps. Simply put, this is the rarest MOTU release we have offered in our auctions. Bidding ends November 9th. Encapsulated by AFA 80, (80-85-85) #12834683
