Sideshow Collectibles released an Imperial TIE Fighter Pilot figure in 2015 as part of their Star Wars: The Force Awakens line, so the item is likely genuine if it matches that specific release. To authenticate it, verify the presence of a holographic security sticker on the packaging and check that the figure bears the correct Sideshow Collectibles logo and copyright date on the base or box. You can also compare the sculpt details, paint application, and accessory quality against high-resolution images from official Sideshow press releases or reputable collector databases. If the packaging lacks the holographic sticker or the figure shows significant manufacturing flaws inconsistent with Sideshow's standards, it may be a counterfeit.

The Sideshow Collectibles Imperial TIE Fighter Pilot released in 2015 is no longer in production. It is a retired item and is not available to purchase new from the manufacturer or authorized retailers. Collectors seeking this figure must look to the secondary market for used or new-old-stock examples.
Inspect the vinyl head and hands for hairline cracks, which are common in older Sideshow figures, and check the joints for looseness or sticking. Examine the fabric uniform for stains, fading, or loose stitching, particularly around the collar and belt areas. Verify that all accessories, such as the helmet and blaster, are present and free from significant scuffs or paint loss. Finally, ensure the original packaging is intact if you are evaluating it as a complete set, noting any damage to the box corners or window.
