Sideshow Collectibles produced a 1/6 scale Imperial Shock Trooper figure in 2009, making it a legitimate product from that manufacturer. To authenticate your item, verify that the packaging includes the Sideshow Collectibles logo and a unique serial number, and inspect the figure for high-quality sculpting, articulation, and paint application consistent with their premium line. If the item lacks these specific manufacturing details or appears to be a lower-quality reproduction, it is likely a counterfeit.
The Imperial Shock Trooper was released in 2009 by Sideshow Collectibles.
The 2009 Sideshow Collectibles Imperial Shock Trooper is a discontinued item and is no longer in print. It is not available to buy new from the manufacturer, and current availability is limited to the secondary market through third-party resellers.
Sideshow Collectibles does not provide an official grading service for their 1/6th scale figures, so you must rely on third-party grading companies like CGC, which typically require you to submit the figure in its original packaging for a sealed-box grade. If grading the loose figure, you should inspect the paint application on the armor and helmet for scratches, check the joints for stress cracks or play, and examine the fabric elements for fraying or discoloration. Because these figures are over a decade old, common issues include yellowing of the plastic, fading on the fabric, and wear on the boots and gloves, so comparing your unit to high-resolution photos of a known pristine example is essential for an accurate condition assessment.
