Condition and completeness
Check the turret and cannon for bends or damage, the camouflage for rubbed edges, and the underside for readable factory and country marks. If the finish changes with temperature, record the current color condition separately from the release identity.
For carded or multipack examples, document the blister and package condition separately from the toy.
Value Research
Compare completed sales only after matching the release’s year, color, graphics, package and country where those details are known. Several camouflage treatments recur, and the same toy number can appear in different package records. Check the turret, cannon, wheel condition and paint separately from card or blister wear.
