Hot Toys does not issue official certificates of authenticity for individual figures, so verification relies on physical inspection rather than documentation. Examine the base for crisp, clean molding and precise laser-etched serial numbers, as counterfeit bases often show rough edges or blurred text. Check the paint application on the dome and panels for sharp lines and correct color matching, noting that fakes frequently display bleeding paint or incorrect metallic finishes. Compare your unit’s weight and internal structure against known genuine examples, as replicas often use lighter materials or simplified internal mechanics.

Hot Toys has officially discontinued the MMS 651 R2-D2 figure, meaning it is no longer in print or available for purchase directly from the manufacturer. Collectors seeking a new, unopened unit must rely on third-party retailers or the secondary market, where availability is limited and prices may exceed the original retail cost.
Hot Toys does not assign official numerical grades to its collectibles, so condition is determined by visual inspection of the figure's surface for scratches, paint rubs, or scuffs. Check the joints for tightness and ensure the head rotates smoothly without wobble, as loose joints are common in used figures. Inspect the plastic body for stress marks or cracks, particularly around the base and neck, and verify that all accessories and display stands are present and undamaged.
