About this figure
Identifying the sculpt is straightforward once you know what to look for: standing, tall pointed mohawk crest, angry face, right fist clenched down, left hand open raised, muscular bare torso, ragged loincloth, bare legs. 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.
Prince Kamehame is documented in 7 of the ten production colors (Flesh, Orange, Red, Purple, Dark Blue, Light Blue, Green). The flesh version books around $6 in mint condition, while the dark blue run is the toughest to find and trades closer to $10. As a Class C common it turns up regularly in lots and bins, which makes it an easy early checkmark — condition, not scarcity, drives its price.
