The crimson color is perfectly consistent throughout the figure with no yellowing or discoloration at all. The original factory gloss on the figure has no scuffs or damage. The shoulder, knee, elbow and neck joints are firm. The O-ring is new and the waist joint is firm. The figure will hold any pose and easily stand unassisted. The elbows have no cracks or hairlines and the waist section is unbroken. Each elbow has a tiny stress mark. They're both approximately 1/64th of an inch in length but they are not hairlines.

When looking at the back of the card, several moderate veins begin on the left side of the card and extend over into the file card area. Additionally, a light vein begins next to the mini picture of Wet-Suit and extends up to the mini picture of Dusty. The colors on the card are bright and glossy with no discoloration, staining or markings. The edges are undamaged and all of the corners are solid with no softening or dog-ears. The cardback shows no signs of water or humidity damage and doesn't appear to have ever been subjected to extreme heat. It has no warping or bending and lays almost perfectly flat.
