Palace Guards Appraisal

Masters of the Universe Classics Eternian Palace Guards 2-Pack

This item is a factory-sealed, 'Masters of the Universe Classics' (MOTUC) two-pack featuring 'Eternian Palace Guards' action figures. The packaging is a window box type, prominently displaying the two figures and their accessories within a clear plastic blister. The box art is designed to mimic the stone-walled aesthetic of Eternia's palace, with text overlays reading 'THE ORIGINAL' and 'MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE CLASSICS'. The figures themselves appear to be identical sculpts, dressed in green and orange body armor, each wielding a spear and a shield. One figure has a blue helmet, while the other's helmet color is less clear but appears to be a darker shade. Notably, the clear plastic blister and potentially the figures inside bear prominent red marker signatures, which appear to be genuine autographs, adding a significant unique aspect to this collectible. The box also displays smaller text 'ADULT COLLECTOR' and 'HEROIC GUARDS FIGURES', indicating its target audience and contents. The box itself shows minimal wear, with sharp corners and vibrant colors, suggesting it has been well-preserved. There are no visible tears or major dents on the cardboard. The plastic blister appears intact with no cracks or significant scuffs, despite the signatures. The item's condition, coupled with the signatures, suggests it is likely a highly sought-after piece for MOTUC collectors. The overall craftsmanship of the packaging is typical for Mattel's collector-focused lines, emphasizing display appeal and protection for the figures.
