Thank you for another epic video, John! AFA will still repair a broken case on a loose figure submission “IF” it was just shipped back to you and happened to be damaged in transit. The recipient just needs to be expeditious in their correspondence with AFA and they will stand by their work. However, after a certain grace period has elapsed, you’re going to be on your own without the possibility of a repair or re-case as they’re “temporarily” suspending all loose figure grading.

Great video, thank you for all of the time and energy spent in putting these together, I always look forward to watching. One thing regarding AFA that I don’t particularly care for is the rectangular acrylic pieces behind the legs that make it difficult to clearly see the COO stamping on the backs of the legs. I wish they’d at least be more specific on the labels with the COO info, (UKG seems to be the most informative on the label for COO info). They all for sure should give more detailed COO label info for caped figures as that info is forever obscured once it is cased. I know it would add considerable research from the grading companies, but as time goes by, collectors are becoming more aware of rarity and desirability regarding COO variations.

Absolutely an important point. I forgot to mention that, and it drives me crazy with AFA. You need to be able to see the backs of the figures legs for the date stamps.

Great video, I think all three are very good but some figures present better than others depending on the grading company. I feel that UKG is definitely doing a better job when it comes to first twelve figures. I recently picked up a Vader in a UKG case because of worrying about buying one in a CAS case with the weapon in hand. I also saved myself over $100 by avoiding going the AFA route all together. It was a Win win situation from the wallet and presentation standpoint.

I prefer the CAS’ J-hooks over the dowels. Definitely a cleaner presentation. However, I hate how CAS figures can have one of the limbs pushed back or foward. AFA places the acrylic blocks on the back to secure the figures position, but the view of the figure from behind is greatly diminished. Recessed casing for the accessories are by far the best way to go. Too bad they are going away from that style. I like AFA’s labels over CAS labels though. Great video as always!

Agreed on all points. I think it's important to be able to see the COO and with AFA cases, you can't. Sort of weird to me.

So the perfect case would be J-hooks and pedestal from CAS, and the etched encapsulation of all weapons from UKG with the clean lines and less bubbles of the case in general from AFA? I’d agree with that. I also prefer the CAS labels since they are slightly easier to read. I know you didn’t mention labels, but I do want to mention that myself.

I would say that would be the perfect case. I would prefer the UKG labels personally.

I would much rather prefer the lightsabers to be separate in the case, especially any of the older sabers with letters on them. I saw this too late, all of my returned figures are holding the lightsabers.

I do like the little angel of the long weapons in the case with the hook clips, gives it a bit of flare👌but the laser cut style does look the best straight up and down 👍Is part of the grade on a loose figure include the condition of the weapon?

I assume that it is since.with DT saber figures, the inner filament greatly affects grade
