LCG 5% Eye Appeal Designation
Presented is one of the most sought-after action figures in the entire hobby. We are privileged to offer the one and only He-Man from the wildly popular Masters of the Universe toyline. This early 8-Back release from 1982 is equipped with a dazzling crystal clear bubble and exceptional card. In our last auction, He-Man (also AFA 80) realized a final price of $32,513. Our Winter Premier offering was consigned by a top international collector and it’s the very first time it’s been auctioned publicly. Our example is also relatively “hobby fresh” emerging from a first quarter 2021 MOTU find that also included a well-preserved early release Skeletor and Man At Arms (albeit both were plagued by yellowed bubbles).
Our subject, He-Man, is simply immaculate. The face of the card is perfectly flat, no fading, no creases, no veins, no edge wear, no sticker residue, no bubble lift. The reverse is a pristine white with only a faint vein above the Skeletor image. Small check marks appear under three characters but hardly detract from the atheistic. The bubble is outstanding, crystal clear retaining perfect form and showcasing a flawless He-Man figure within. Includes King of Castle Grayskull comic. Simply put, this is a striking example of one of the hobby’s most important and recognizable action figures and one that would certainly be a worthy addition to even the most advanced world class collection. G2, Made in Taiwan. Encapsulated by AFA (80, 80-85-85), #15733257
Estimate: $20,000 - $40,000
