Metal Build box condition & grading

QUICK ANSWER

What lowers a Metal Build box's grade?

Metal Build's oversized printed sleeve is the weak point — it scuffs with shelf wear and splits at the top fold seam, and the inner tray inserts can ding. FIGUSCAN scores the sleeve, seams, and seal and returns a 0–10 grade with a worth-grading verdict for this premium die-cast Gundam line.

Big die-cast, big sleeve — and the sleeve is where condition is won or lost.

Sleeve seams & shelf wear

Top-fold splits and scuffing along the long edges are the most common grade-limiters; the model checks the seams specifically.

Inner tray dings

Heavy die-cast can shift in transit, denting the inner tray or insert — include a shot if the sleeve is open-ended.
