About this figure
Identifying the sculpt is straightforward once you know what to look for: standing, arms slightly out at sides, mohawk-crested helmet, angry face, ornate armored torso with medallions, segmented skirt, armored 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.
Mr. Achilles is documented in 5 of the ten production colors (Flesh, Orange, Dark Blue, Light Blue, Magenta). The flesh version books around $21 in mint condition, while the magenta 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.
