About this figure
Identifying the sculpt is straightforward once you know what to look for: standing, arms out with clenched fists, full riveted armor/bodysuit covered in studs, small helmeted head, bulky armored torso and legs, boots. 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.
Hang Killer is documented in 6 of the ten production colors (Flesh, Salmon, Red, Dark Blue, Light Blue, Magenta). The flesh version books around $14 in mint condition, while the magenta run is the toughest to find and trades closer to $25. As a Class B figure it saw a shorter production run than the commons; clean examples take some patience to source.
