Hot Toys does not issue certificates of authenticity for individual MMS figures, so verification relies on physical inspection rather than documentation. Authentic figures feature crisp, detailed molding with sharp panel lines, while counterfeits often exhibit soft details, uneven paint application, and incorrect font styles on decals. Check the base for a clear, laser-etched serial number and verify that the included accessories, such as the blaster and helmet, match the high-quality finish of genuine parts. If the packaging is missing or damaged, compare the figure’s weight and articulation against known authentic samples, as fakes frequently use lighter materials and stiffer joints.

Examine the helmet and armor for surface scuffs, paint chips, or "battle damage" inconsistencies, as these are common wear points on this figure. Inspect the joints for looseness and check the fabric of the cape and undersuit for stains, tears, or fading. Verify that all included accessories, such as the blaster and helmet, are present and undamaged, as missing parts significantly reduce value. Finally, assess the original packaging condition, noting that Hot Toys figures from 2016 often show box wear that affects collectible grading.
