Sideshow Collectibles produced a 1/4 scale Darth Vader figure in 2009 as part of their Star Wars line, making it a legitimate manufacturer release if the packaging and sculpt match that specific product. To authenticate it, verify that the box features the Sideshow logo and correct product numbering, and inspect the figure for high-quality paint application, accurate sculpting details, and the specific articulation points characteristic of that era. If the item lacks these hallmarks or appears to be a low-quality reproduction, it is likely a counterfeit, and you should compare it against verified images from Sideshow's official archives or reputable collector forums.

The Sideshow Collectibles Darth Vader (Sith Lord) figure from 2009 is no longer in print and is not available to buy new from the manufacturer. It is currently only available through the secondary market, such as online resale platforms or private collectors.
Sideshow Collectibles does not assign official condition grades to their 1/6th scale figures, so you must evaluate the item yourself by inspecting it for common defects such as paint wear, seam lines, plastic cracks, and loose joints. Check the helmet and mask for scuffs, verify that the cape is free of tears or stains, and ensure all included accessories and display stands are intact. If you require a third-party assessment for resale purposes, you can submit the figure to a professional grading service, though the collectible figure market generally relies on seller-provided condition descriptions and high-resolution photos rather than standardized numerical grades.
