About this figure
Identifying the sculpt is straightforward once you know what to look for: standing, stubby legs, arms hanging at sides, reptilian/alligator head with beak-like snout, textured scaly torso, cross-laced chest, thick 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.
Sunigator (E) is documented in 6 of the ten production colors (Flesh, Salmon, Orange, Purple, Green, Magenta). The flesh version books around $13 in mint condition, while the magenta run is the toughest to find and trades closer to $23. As a Class B figure it saw a shorter production run than the commons; clean examples take some patience to source.
