The answers below are provided by contributors and may not be fully accurate. Verify important details before relying on them.
The TMS 88 Groot is not considered rare, as it was part of Hot Toys' standard 2023 release schedule for the Guardians of the Galaxy series. It was produced in significant quantities and remains widely available through official retailers and secondary markets. Collectors can generally acquire this figure at or near its original retail price without difficulty.
The TMS 88 Groot originally retailed for $224.00. Live secondary-market data isn't indexed yet — check eBay sold listings for current value.
The item details provided contain conflicting data, as Hot Toys does not produce a "TMS 88 Groot" figure. Hot Toys uses the "Movie Masterpiece Series" (MMS) numbering for their 1/6 scale figures, while "TMS" typically refers to Transformers Masterpiece or other lines. Additionally, the UPC 4900000000000 is a generic placeholder code often used in databases when the actual manufacturer barcode is missing. To authenticate a Hot Toys Groot, verify that the box displays the MMS series number, the Hot Toys logo, and a unique serial number on the figure's base that matches the certificate of authenticity.
The TMS 88 Groot was released in 2023 by Hot Toys.
Hot Toys has discontinued the TMS 88 Groot figure, so it is no longer in print or available for purchase directly from the manufacturer. Collectors seeking a new, unopened box must rely on third-party retailers or secondary market sellers who may have remaining stock.
Hot Toys does not use traditional third-party grading services like PSA or CGC for their TMS figures, so condition is assessed visually by the owner or seller. Inspect the vinyl body for cracks, stress marks, or discoloration, and check that the fabric clothing is clean and free of tears. Verify that all accessories, such as the interchangeable hands and display stand, are present and undamaged. Refer to the original packaging and certificate of authenticity for completeness, as missing documentation significantly reduces resale value.
