Common questions about the Imperial Stormtrooper from Sideshow Collectibles (2009).
The answers below are provided by contributors and may not be fully accurate. Verify important details before relying on them.
The 2009 Sideshow Collectibles Imperial Stormtrooper is not considered rare, as it was produced in a standard mass-production run for the company's 1/6th scale line. Because it was a widely available retail release rather than a limited edition, many examples are still in circulation today. Its current value is typically determined by condition and completeness rather than scarcity.
The Imperial Stormtrooper originally retailed for $89.99. Live secondary-market data isn't indexed yet — check eBay sold listings for current value.
Sideshow Collectibles did not produce a standalone Imperial Stormtrooper figure in 2009; their major releases that year included the Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith series and various other licensed lines, but a specific 2009 Stormtrooper is not a standard catalog item. If your figure claims to be from Sideshow and that specific year, it is likely a misidentified item, a third-party reproduction, or a figure from a different manufacturer such as Hasbro or Kenner. To authenticate it, compare the sculpt, paint application, and packaging against verified auction listings for Sideshow releases from that period, and inspect the base for official Sideshow logos and copyright dates that match the claimed year.
The Imperial Stormtrooper was released in 2009 by Sideshow Collectibles.
The Sideshow Collectibles 2009 Imperial Stormtrooper is a discontinued product and is no longer in print. It is not available to buy new from the manufacturer, and collectors must seek out used examples on the secondary market.
There is no reliable information available to confirm that Sideshow Collectibles produced a specific "Imperial Stormtrooper" figure in 2009, as their major Star Wars releases during that period typically featured characters like Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker, or Han Solo. Consequently, I cannot provide specific grading criteria for this item without risking speculation, and you should verify the exact product title and manufacturer before attempting to condition-check it.
