How to Price a Star Trek Action Figure

Action figures are not just for children anymore. There is a vast and profitable market for Star Trek collectible figures that exists and being knowledgeable on how to price your Star Trek action figure helps put a value to your collection.

Instructions

    • 1

      Examine the container if the figure is still in its original packaging. Look for signs of wear and tear such as damaged or torn cardboard backing. Look for cracked or discolored plastic as well as tape or glue as a repackaging sign.

    • 2

      Check the figure for damage if it's loose. On a Star Trek figure such as a limited edition ¼ scale Captain Kirk figure, look for scratches, scuffs or missing paint on his black Star Fleet pants or on his mustard shirt.

    • 3

      Grade the Star Trek figure on the C1 to C10 grading scale commonly used for action figures. You can grade it yourself or send it to the Action Figure Association to have it professionally graded. A grade is based partially on whether the limbs are tight and if it has its original accessories such as a phaser with the Captain Kirk figure.

      Research a specific Star Trek figure model with toy dealers such as Tonythetoyman, at trade shows or online auction houses like eBay. Get a good idea of what a similar Star Trek figure is selling for to help you set a value.

      Take all your information into account and set a price. Remember the condition, its packaging and whether or not you have all of the accessories all play into the price it commands.
