Well they both look stupid in those grading cases :lol: sorry not much help but I can't stand graded loose figures, they look terrible with all those supports around them and weapons taped to the side. Not good for the figures either, you often see paint rubs in grading cases. Don't buy either, get a nice ungraded one for half the price and enjoy holding it
The AFA saber has a broken tip! I don't get why you would want to buy something that is broken that some grader guy tells you is rated 75 on a scale that no-one cares about.
Buy neither, pay less money for a nice loose example, hold it, enjoy it , display how YOU want to display it.
It depends what you mean by 'worth' - if you like the way they look and want to keep it, then sure. But if it's only to increase its value, you really have to get an 85 or higher to make it worth more than the cost of the loose figure and grading, and even then only for the higher end figures. For example the last two UKG 85 loose General Madine's sold on eBay have gone for £27

I bet it cost the seller more than that for the figure and grading.
A graded item is only good for selling on again and to spare yourself the daft questions you will get from newbie collectors :lol: saying that they still ask daft questions ! I'm with the chaps buy yourself a minty loose figure and treat yourself to a kebab and pint afterwards with the money you saved :shock:
I will never understand why people take a £30-£40 figure, grade it, and then ask for £100+... All grading is - Sealing something within a couple of quids worth of acrylic and sticking on a few pence worth of stickers inside. If people can't see something is already near mint and need help from graders to tell them that, then those people have more money than sense.
