    I can't really tell on your basic classics line do they use a matt, semi-gloss or gloss some of my figures look glossy while some have a matt look, I'd like a second opinion on this and a majority of your figures what kind are they?

    They don't. What you see is either the stock plastic with no paint or PVC paint which is illegal to use in the USA due to toxicity in liquid form. There is no sealant what so ever.

    Wow I did not know this thanks for the information. But if I was to use a finish to match my collection which would you recommend, semi gloss?
