About this figure
Identifying the sculpt is straightforward once you know what to look for: standing, arms at sides, blocky robotic body, protruding round mouthpiece/snout, angular armored torso and limbs, segmented mechanical joints, bulky 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.
Huntingman is documented in 5 of the ten production colors (Flesh, Salmon, Orange, Red, Purple). The flesh version books around $24 in mint condition, while the salmon run is the toughest to find and trades closer to $37. As a Class A rare it anchors many want lists — mint examples move quickly when they surface.
