Hot Toys does not assign official numerical grades to their figures, so condition is determined by visual inspection for paint applications, sculpt details, and fabric wear. Check the cape and cowl for fraying, inspect the face and hands for paint transfers or scratches, and verify that all armor pieces and accessories are present and undamaged. Document any flaws with clear, well-lit photographs to establish an accurate condition report for resale or collection purposes.
