AFA provides a good-faith effort to spot reproduction weapons and accessories, but doesn't guarantee authenticity beyond a reasonable doubt, unless GAS tiers are used for authentication.
AFA does have policies in place to protect our customers, as outlined below.
A loose figure submitted for grading will have its weapons and accessories looked at to see if they are obvious reproductions. The grader will make a good-faith effort to check the authenticity of a figure's weapons or accessories. If a reproduction accessory (or incorrect accessory) ends up paired and graded with a figure, the figure can be resubmitted to AFA for re-casing. Once it is confirmed that the accessory is a reproduction or incorrect, AFA will provide an authentic or correct accessory up to $25 in value, as well as the re-case free of charge. If the value of the weapon or accessory is more than $25, a check in the amount of $25 will be issued to the customer in order to offset the cost of purchasing an accessory. In addition, re-casing with the updated accessory will be completed free of charge.

*All turnaround times are stated in estimated business days. Business days are defined by AFA as Monday through Friday, excluding major holidays.
**a complete listing of standard size loose action figures can be found at www.toygrader.com. Standard sizes include most common size action figures from popular toy lines.
*******Certain loose variation action figures, especially those with variant clothing and accessories, as well as loose figures valued at over $500 must always be submitted under GAS tier codes for additional authentication.
