The Padm√© Amidala (Naboo Senator: Ilum) originally retailed for $54.99. Live secondary-market data isn't indexed yet — check eBay sold listings for current value.
Sideshow Collectibles did not produce a 1/6th scale figure of Padmé Amidala in her Naboo Senator outfit for the 2008 release cycle, as their 2008 Star Wars line focused on characters like Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Yoda. The "Ilum" designation is also not a standard Sideshow product variant, suggesting the item may be a misidentified third-party reproduction, a custom paint job, or a counterfeit. To authenticate the item, you should examine the packaging for official Sideshow branding and check the figure's sculpt quality, as genuine Sideshow products from that era feature specific mold lines and articulation points that differ from unauthorized copies.

The Padmé Amidala (Naboo Senator: Ilum) 1/6th scale figure by Sideshow Collectibles is out of print and no longer available to purchase new from the manufacturer. This 2008 release is a discontinued item, meaning new stock is no longer produced, and collectors must seek out pre-owned copies through the secondary market.
Grading this Sideshow Collectibles figure involves inspecting the paint application on the Naboo Senator costume for any chipping, scratches, or fading, particularly on the white and blue sections. You should also check the Ilum base for cracks, scuffs, or discoloration, as well as verify that the figure's joints and sculpted details are free from stress fractures or molding defects. For an official grade, you must submit the item to a recognized third-party grading service, though note that most major services like PSA do not grade Sideshow figures, meaning it will likely remain ungraded in the collector market.
