List it individually on BrickLink with the ID pi016. Buyers search by part number and will find it. Include clear photos showing condition. At $38.21, it's worth the time to list separately rather than bundling. If you have several Pirates figures, listing them all at once saves on the per-item effort.
At $38.21 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 1996, 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 $62.99), keep it protected. The premium for mint condition is significant.
