Common questions about the MMS 193 Storm Shadow from Hot Toys (6-Feb-13).
The answers below are provided by contributors and may not be fully accurate. Verify important details before relying on them.
The Hot Toys MMS 193 Storm Shadow is not considered rare, as it was a standard retail release with a large production run. It remains widely available on the secondary market at prices close to its original retail value. Collectors can easily find new or used copies through major online retailers and auction sites.
Hot Toys does not publish an official retail price for this specific release, and secondary market values fluctuate based on condition and completeness. As of recent sales data, a complete set in mint condition typically ranges from $350 to $450 USD. Prices may vary significantly if the item is loose, damaged, or missing original packaging and accessories.
Hot Toys does not provide official authentication certificates for individual MMS figures, so verification relies on physical inspection rather than serial numbers. Examine the figure for precise molding, clean paint applications, and correct accessory details, as counterfeits often exhibit visible seam lines or loose joints. Compare your item’s weight and packaging against high-resolution images from the manufacturer’s official press kit or reputable collector forums. If the figure feels significantly lighter or the paint quality appears inconsistent with known examples, it is likely a reproduction.
The MMS 193 Storm Shadow was released in 6-Feb-13 by Hot Toys.
The Hot Toys MMS 193 Storm Shadow is no longer in print and is not available to buy new from the manufacturer. It was released in 2013 as part of the Marvel Master Series line and has since been discontinued. Collectors must seek out used or pre-owned copies through secondary market retailers and private sellers.
Hot Toys does not use third-party grading services like PSA or Beckett for its Movie Masterpiece Series figures, so professional slab grading is not standard practice. Condition should be assessed by inspecting the head sculpt for hairline cracks, checking the fabric costume for stains or tears, and verifying that all accessories and display stands are present. Minor paint transfers on the hands or feet are common in used examples and should be noted in the listing.
