The 2009 Sideshow Collectibles Imperial Stormtrooper is not considered rare, as it was produced in a standard mass-production run typical for the company's 1/6th scale figures. It remains a common item in the secondary market, with numerous examples available for purchase.
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 produced a 1/4 scale Imperial Stormtrooper figure in 2009 as part of their Star Wars line, so a genuine item from that year would feature high-quality sculpting, detailed paint applications, and specific Sideshow branding on the packaging and base. To authenticate it, examine the figure for consistent paint lines and sharp sculpt details, verify that the box includes the correct Sideshow logo and product information, and check for the presence of a holographic security sticker or specific catalog number associated with the 2009 release. If the figure appears to have poor paint quality, plastic seams, or lacks proper packaging, it is likely a counterfeit or a different product entirely.
The Imperial Stormtrooper was released in 2009 by Sideshow Collectibles.
The 2009 Sideshow Collectibles 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 through secondary markets such as eBay or specialty toy shops.
Sideshow Collectibles does not officially grade their own products, so you should submit the figure to a third-party grading service like Beckett (BGS) for a certified condition score. When inspecting the item yourself, look for common defects such as paint chips on the helmet, stress cracks in the plastic, or discoloration caused by UV exposure. Verify that the figure is complete with all original accessories and that the packaging, if included, is free from significant wear or damage.
