The Hot Toys MMS 281 Captain America typically sells for $350 to $450 in new, sealed condition. Used figures in good condition generally range from $250 to $350 depending on accessory completeness and box condition. Prices may vary based on current market demand and specific retailer promotions.
Hot Toys does not issue certificates of authenticity for individual MMS figures, so verification relies on physical inspection rather than documentation. Examine the figure for precise paint application, clean seam lines, and the correct Hot Toys logo on the feet or packaging. Compare your item’s weight, articulation, and sculpt details against high-resolution images from official Hot Toys press releases or reputable collector forums. If the figure exhibits significant molding flaws, loose joints, or incorrect branding, it is likely a replica.

Hot Toys discontinued the MMS 281 Captain America figure after its initial production run ended in 2015. The item is no longer manufactured or sold as new by the company. Collectors must purchase this figure from secondary market resellers or private sellers.
Hot Toys does not use third-party grading services like PSA or Beckett for their Movie Masterpiece Series figures, so condition is assessed visually rather than through a numerical score. Inspect the vinyl for surface scratches, paint transfers, or "smiling" where the head does not seat properly in the neck ring. Check the fabric costume for loose threads, stains, or fraying, and ensure all accessories and display bases are present and undamaged.
