Retro toys and vintage action figures
The toys that started this whole thing. Carded figures, loose survivors with all their accessories, and the odd piece that has been in a box since the first time it was cool. Vintage grading is its own discipline — paint rub, joint tightness, card bend, bubble yellowing — and it is spelled out rather than glossed over.
Age is not damage, but pretending a thirty-year-old figure is factory fresh helps nobody. A loose figure listed as Near Mint here means tight joints and clean paint for its age, and the photos back it up. If accessories are missing, the listing says which ones.
Carded pieces get the treatment they deserve: card front and back, bubble from an angle so you can see any lift or crush, and any price sticker or shelf wear shown rather than cropped out.

Frequently asked questions
Are vintage figures graded the same way as new ones?
Same four grades, read in the context of the era. Near Mint on a 1985 figure means excellent for its age — tight joints, clean paint, minimal wear — not indistinguishable from new.
Do loose figures include their accessories?
The listing states what is included. Missing accessories are called out explicitly, because on vintage lines the weapon or helmet is often worth more than the figure.
Is the packaging original?
For carded items, yes — the card and bubble are original and photographed front and back. Reproduction packaging, when a seller offers it, has to be disclosed in the listing.
