Hot Toys does not issue official certificates of authenticity for individual figures, so verification relies on physical inspection rather than documentation. Examine the packaging for crisp printing, correct barcodes, and the specific "40th Anniversary" branding, while checking the figure for precise paint applications, clean seam lines, and high-quality fabric on the cape. Counterfeits often display poor molding, uneven paint, and flimsy accessories, so compare your item directly with high-resolution images from Hot Toys' official website or authorized retailers. If discrepancies are significant, consult a specialized collector community or professional authentication service for a definitive assessment.

Hot Toys has officially discontinued the MMS 699 Darth Vader 40th Anniversary figure. The manufacturer no longer produces new stock, so it is not available to buy new from official channels. Collectors must purchase this item from the secondary market, where prices often exceed the original retail value.
Hot Toys does not use a standardized third-party grading system like PSA or Beckett for its Movie Masterpiece Series figures. Condition should be assessed by inspecting the helmet and chest plate for paint transfers, checking the fabric cape for fraying or discoloration, and verifying that all included accessories and display stands are present. Ensure the original packaging is intact if the figure is being evaluated as a sealed collectible.
