Used action figures in Canada typically sell for C$9 to C$150 (about $7 to $110). Figures are collected seriously, and the gap between a carded example and a loose one is enormous.
What action figures are worth in Canada

What lifts the price
- Complete loose figures with all accessories
- Vintage lines with established collector followings
What pulls it down
- Missing accessories, which are often valued separately
- Loose or floppy joints from play wear
Selling action figures in Canada
Interac e-Transfer is the norm and is instant and traceable, which suits a private sale well. It is what most buyers will suggest before anything else.
Canada’s resale market is concentrated in a handful of metro areas separated by very long distances, which makes it unusually collection-led — most buyers are looking for something they can pick up the same week.
Winter clothing and sports equipment move from October, and the spring thaw brings the strongest few weeks for furniture, bikes and garden items.
Working out what yours is worth
- Identify the exact line, character and year
- Check every accessory against the original release
Sell your Action Figures in Canada
Listing is free and there is no commission and no buyer fee, so the price you agree is the price you keep. Most listings take about a minute to put up.
Getting it ready
- Lay out every figure with its accessories and work out which pieces are missing. Say so; collectors always find out.
- Clean gently with a dry brush. Do not scrub painted detail, and never use solvent on printed faces.
Photograph
- All accessories arranged next to the figures they belong to
- Any packaging, card back or box, including its corners and creases
Put in the description
- The line or franchise, and the character names
- The condition of any packaging, described separately from the figure
Name the line, the character and the era: “Star Wars Kenner Vintage Luke Skywalker, 1978, Complete” or “Marvel Legends Bundle, 6 Figures, Loose”. Collectors search by line and character, never by the phrase action figure, and the words loose, complete and boxed are all filters they actually use.
Small and light, so posting is easy and widens your audience enormously. Wrap each figure separately and box rather than bag anything with fragile accessories or original packaging.
It costs nothing to list
There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the C$151 a buyer pays is the C$151 you keep. You and the buyer settle up and arrange the handover between yourselves; WishThrift does not hold the money or ship the item.

Common questions
Where can I sell action figures in Canada?
List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. There is no selling fee, so the whole amount stays with you. Interac e-Transfer is the norm and is instant and traceable, which suits a private sale well. It is what most buyers will suggest before anything else.
Are the joints tight?
Stand the figure up and try it. Floppy hips are a known failure on certain lines and a collector will assume the worst if you do not address it.
Are action figures worth collecting?
Many are. Vintage lines with strong followings sell well, and carded examples are worth multiples of loose ones.
Does opening the packaging ruin the value?
For collectable figures, it reduces it substantially. Sealed carded examples command a large premium.
