At $52.90, this figure is worth listing individually on BrickLink where LEGO buyers specifically search by ID. Take clear photos showing all sides and accessories. BrickLink listings at or slightly below the 6-month average tend to sell within a week or two. eBay is a good secondary option if you want a wider audience, but expect slightly lower prices after fees.
At $52.90 average, yes. Buyers at this price point expect a complete figure with all accessories, no major scratches on printed elements, and tight joints. For a figure from 2005, also check for yellowing on white or light gray parts. UV exposure over time causes discoloration that significantly impacts value. If you have the figure new/sealed (averaging $147.22), keep it protected. The premium for mint condition is significant.
