Hot Toys does not produce a figure with the specific SKU 90659 or the designation "TMS 23" for the 501st Battalion Clone Trooper, suggesting the item may be mislabeled or counterfeit. Authentic Hot Toys Clone Trooper figures typically feature SKUs beginning with 906, such as 90601 for the standard Phase I trooper, and include distinct packaging with holographic seals. To verify authenticity, check for the precise "Hot Toys" logo embossing on the base, high-quality paint applications without bleeding, and the presence of a certificate of authenticity inside the box. If the SKU 906959 does not match official Hot Toys records for this specific variant, the item is likely not genuine.

Hot Toys has discontinued the TMS 23 501st Battalion Clone Trooper, as it was a limited release from their 2020 collection. The figure is no longer available to buy new from the manufacturer or authorized retailers. Collectors must purchase this item from the secondary market through resellers or private sellers.
Hot Toys does not issue official third-party grades for its collectibles, so condition assessment relies on visual inspection of the figure and accessories. Examine the armor plates for paint chips, scratches, or separation, and check the helmet visor for scuffs or cloudiness. Inspect the joints for looseness or stress marks, and verify that all included weapons and display stands are present and undamaged. Document any flaws with high-resolution photographs to establish a clear condition report for resale or insurance purposes.
