About this figure
Identifying the sculpt is straightforward once you know what to look for: standing, right fist raised, left arm down open hand, diagonal sash across chest with round emblem, wide belt, ridged boots, short hair. Like every genuine figure in the line, originals carry the “Y/S·N·T” foot stamp — a soft or missing stamp is the quickest way to spot a reproduction.
Planetman is documented in 5 of the ten production colors (Flesh, Orange, Dark Blue, Light Blue, Magenta). The flesh version books around $26 in mint condition, while the magenta run is the toughest to find and trades closer to $46. As a Class A rare it anchors many want lists — mint examples move quickly when they surface.
