Common questions about the MMS 176 Loki from Hot Toys (18-May-12).
The answers below are provided by contributors and may not be fully accurate. Verify important details before relying on them.
The Hot Toys MMS 176 Loki is not considered rare, as it was produced in standard quantities for the brand's 1/6 scale line. It remains widely available on the secondary market, with prices typically reflecting its status as a common collectible rather than a limited edition.
The MMS 176 Loki figure typically sells for $300 to $450 in new, sealed condition on the secondary market. Used copies in good condition generally range from $200 to $300 depending on the completeness of accessories and box condition. Prices vary based on current market demand and the specific seller's listing.
Hot Toys does not issue official certificates of authenticity for individual MMS figures, so verification relies on physical inspection rather than documentation. Check for the correct MMS176 laser etching on the base, consistent paint applications without bleeding, and the specific articulation feel characteristic of Hot Toys' 2012 production run. Compare your figure’s packaging and accessory details against high-resolution images from reputable collectors or the manufacturer’s official gallery, as counterfeit versions often exhibit cheaper plastic molding and inaccurate color tones. If the figure lacks these specific manufacturing traits or comes from an unverified seller, it is likely a reproduction.
The MMS 176 Loki was released in 18-May-12 by Hot Toys.
Hot Toys discontinued the MMS 176 Loki figure after its initial production run ended. The item is no longer in print and is not available for purchase as new stock from the manufacturer. Collectors must seek used or pre-owned copies through secondary marketplaces.
Hot Toys does not assign official numerical grades to its figures, so condition is assessed visually rather than through a standardized scale. Inspect the head sculpt and hands for paint applications, as these are the most common areas for factory defects or wear. Check the joints for tightness and look for any stress marks or cracks in the plastic, particularly around the neck and shoulders. Finally, verify that all accessories, such as the staff and interchangeable hands, are present and undamaged.
