I wouldnt class anything as mint unless it was still packaged.
I agree with that, as soon as its out of its card it cant be classed as mint.

if you look up the definition mint means:
"in perfect condition; as if new"
so technically it could be out of package, but i guess thats probably pretty rare!

Eh? Was it me? What did I buy from you? Hope I didn't come across as offensive?
It was a few months ago, no not offensive at all, I did take it on board and I look extra hard at a figure now before I class it as mint.

I think the term mint has different connotations for different objects, I think that for action figures it is widely regarded as meaning in as good a condtion as when it first came out of the packet. At the same time I've also seen a figures that either MIP or MIB were not what I would describe as mint.

Was it that Flint with the cracked elbow? If it was that one I remember you being a perfect Gentlemen throughout!

I think it might have been, If so I'll have to apologise, I usually spot those.

Not needed at all. In fact here are a couple of pictures of what I did with my old crappy Flint figure. Lazy Bastard Customs the lot of them! Inspired by a request, I think from The Kraken Wakes for an Outback Head on a Dusty Torso!

Cool customs, I do like the theme of different heads with a common uniform, kind of a throwback to the original 1982 run of GI Joe.
