Grading a Hot Toys 1/6th scale figure like the CMS 20 Luke Skywalker (Dark Empire) AE involves a detailed inspection of the sculpt, paint application, and articulation points for signs of wear, stress cracking, or factory defects. You should examine the head sculpt for hairline cracks, check the eyes for cloudiness or misalignment, and verify that the fabric costume is free from snags, stains, or discoloration. Additionally, inspect the accessories, including the lightsaber and any included stands, for damage and ensure all joints move smoothly without excessive play. If you are seeking a formal grade for resale value, you can submit the figure to a third-party grading service, though the 1/6th scale market primarily relies on seller-provided condition descriptions and high-resolution photos rather than standardized numerical grades like those used for trading cards.
