Common questions about the MMS 76 Lost Predator from Hot Toys (7-Jan-09).
The answers below are provided by contributors and may not be fully accurate. Verify important details before relying on them.
The Hot Toys MMS 76 Lost Predator is not considered rare because it was produced in substantial quantities during its initial release and has remained in continuous production. As a core figure in the Hot Toys Movie Masterpiece Series, it is widely available through authorized retailers and the secondary market. Collectors can typically find new or used copies without significant difficulty or premium pricing.
The Hot Toys MMS 76 Lost Predator typically sells for between $250 and $350 in good condition. Prices vary based on the completeness of the set, including all accessories and the original display base. Mint, unopened copies in their original packaging can command higher prices, often exceeding $400.
Hot Toys does not issue official certificates of authenticity for individual figures, so verification relies on physical inspection rather than documentation. Examine the figure for precise molding, clean seam lines, and high-quality paint applications, as counterfeit versions often exhibit visible mold lines or sloppy detailing. Compare the packaging and box art against known authentic examples, paying close attention to font accuracy and the presence of the correct Hot Toys holographic sticker. If the item lacks these specific manufacturing traits or the packaging appears generic, it is likely a reproduction.
The MMS 76 Lost Predator was released in 7-Jan-09 by Hot Toys.
The MMS 76 Lost Predator is no longer in print and has been discontinued by Hot Toys. New stock is extremely rare, so buyers must typically purchase used or pre-owned copies from secondary marketplaces.
Hot Toys does not assign official third-party grades to MMS figures, so condition is determined by visual inspection of the vinyl, fabric, and accessories. Check the vinyl for stress marks or cracks, particularly around the joints and the mask mechanism, and inspect the fabric for tears or fading. Verify that all included accessories, such as the plasma caster and wrist blades, are present and undamaged. Document any flaws with clear photographs, as these figures are typically sold based on their physical state rather than a numerical score.
