Compare your figure’s details, such as the helmet shape and blaster rifle finish, against official product images or known authentic examples to identify common counterfeits.

Inspect the helmet and armor for surface scratches, paint chips, and stress cracks, particularly around the visor and joint seams. Check the fabric cape for tears, fraying, or discoloration, as this material degrades faster than the hard plastic components. Verify that all articulation points function smoothly without excessive looseness or binding. Confirm the presence of original packaging, display stand, and accessory cards to establish completeness for grading purposes.
