Description
G.I. Joe Storm Shadow Russian Release AFA Y80+ ** Only 3 Graded Examples ** (Funskool, 1995). Storm Shadow's 1988 return redefined the character, trading Cobra allegiance for a more complex role tied to honor, lineage, and the Arashikage clan. This Russian-market release from Funskool carries that version forward, produced during the brand's extended international life using classic A Real American Hero tooling. As with many Funskool figures, subtle production quirks set these apart, and Storm Shadow is no exception, with known examples from the Indian market featuring the Arashikage tattoo applied upside down, a small but notable variation that has become a point of interest for collectors tracking global releases. Graded AFA 80+ Y-NM+ with subgrades of C85 B80 F85, this example is one of only three graded on the population report. Storm Shadow's story has always been about balance, loyalty, and precision, but sometimes even the smallest detail ends up flipped, and that's where things get interesting.Heritage Auctions provides detailed information when available but strongly encourages in-person inspection.

Auction Type
Signature Session - Extended Bidding: These auctions are presented via catalog and online and bidding is only taken through our website. There are two phases of bidding during this type of auction: 1) Normal bidding: Bids are taken up until 7:00 PM CT the night the auction closes. 2) 15 Minute Ending: On a lot-by-lot basis, starting at 7:00 PM CT, any person who has bid on the lot previously may continue to bid on that lot until there are no more bids for 15 minutes. For example, if you bid on a lot during Normal Bidding, you could participate during Extended Bidding for that lot, but not on lots you did not bid on previously. If a bid was placed at 7:03, the new end time for that lot would become 7:18. If no other bids were placed before 7:18, the lot would close. If you are the high bidder on a lot, changing your bid will not extend the bidding during the 15 Minute Ending phase (only a bid from another bidder will extend bidding). If you are the only bidder at 7 PM, you will automatically win the lot at 7:15. Important: After normal bidding ends, you must be signed-on to the Heritage site to see the bidding option on lots where you qualify for extended bidding and you must be on an individual lot page to reflect the accurate time remaining for that particular lot.
