My Large Head Han arrived today 8)
There is a story behind this - I purchased this from Todd (our resident American), prior to it arriving from AFA Todd had notification that it had received a 90 grade but between the notification and it being encased it had been down graded to an 85 grade. The figure itself has just one very very small (i had to look very hard to find it) paint nick at the top but backish of his head and a nick just as small to the red stripe, imo these take nothing away from the figure whatsoever. Apart from this the figure is absolutely mint, very glossy, clean, the white is very very white etc. Why it didnt keep the 90 grade i will never know, but i am personally very happy with it and will not bother upgrading this one

That was the frustrating thing I found when I was collecting them as most 85's I have seen look great and are always better than you expect whilst the 90's can be disappointing as you expect total perfection !! :xinzaman said:My Large Head Han arrived today 8)

Cheers chaps
I got a good deal on it but had to drive some distance to see it to make sure it was 100% pukka
It will be going to AFA shortly, I hope it will get an 80 as there are a couple of dings on the corners of the bubble, nothing major though. I was surprised to see AFA have only graded one before on the old single grade scale :shock: I know there are quite a few more ungraded ones around but I didn't realise they were quite so scarce.

although once I got an afa 85 carded japaneze gi joe zartan and the bubble was crushed and back had a corner crease which really pissed me off, yet a dutchj clipper afa 85 dengar i got was absolutely perfect better than some of my 90's
