The Hot Toys MMS 182 Lt. Jim Gordon (S.W.A.T. Version) typically sells for between $350 and $500 in new, sealed condition. Used figures in excellent condition generally range from $250 to $350 depending on the completeness of accessories and packaging.

Hot Toys does not publish an official authentication guide for individual figures, so verification relies on comparing your item to high-resolution images from the manufacturer or reputable retailers. Key indicators of authenticity include precise paint applications, clean seam lines, and the specific texture of the fabric and plastic materials used in the 2012 release. Counterfeits often exhibit visible mold lines, sloppy detailing, or incorrect packaging fonts, so cross-referencing with known authentic examples is the most reliable method.

Hot Toys has discontinued the MMS 182 Lt. Jim Gordon (S.W.A.T. Version) figure, so it is no longer in print or available new from the manufacturer. Collectors seeking this item must purchase it from the secondary market through resellers or auction sites. Availability on these platforms varies, and prices often exceed the original retail value due to its out-of-production status.
Inspect the sculpted head for hairline cracks, particularly around the ears and jaw, as well as any paint transfers or fading on the face. Examine the fabric suit for loose threads, stains, or wear on the tactical vest and belt hardware, noting that the S.W.A.T. version features distinct gear compared to the standard release. Check the articulation points for stress marks or broken joints, and verify that all accessories, including the baton and firearm, are present and undamaged. Finally, assess the original packaging for box wear, as collector value often depends on the condition of the outer box and inner inserts.
