Common questions about the R5-D4 from Sideshow Collectibles (2016).
The answers below are provided by contributors and may not be fully accurate. Verify important details before relying on them.
Sideshow Collectibles produced the R5-D4 droid in a standard limited run of 1,500 pieces, which is a common production quantity for their premium line. Because this figure was widely available upon release and has a steady secondary market presence, it is not considered rare. Collectors can typically find used copies in good condition without significant difficulty or premium pricing.
The R5-D4 originally retailed for $139.99. Live secondary-market data isn't indexed yet — check eBay sold listings for current value.
Sideshow Collectibles does not issue certificates of authenticity for their Star Wars figures, so verification relies on physical inspection rather than paperwork. Check for the specific Sideshow logo on the base and the correct holographic sticker on the packaging, as these are standard anti-counterfeit measures. Compare the paint application and sculpt details against official product images, noting that genuine pieces have sharp molding and consistent color matching. If the item lacks these features or shows poor manufacturing quality, it is likely a replica or third-party reproduction.
The R5-D4 was released in 2016 by Sideshow Collectibles.
The Sideshow Collectibles R5-D4 from 2016 is no longer in print. It is not available to buy new from the manufacturer. Collectors must seek secondary market options like eBay or specialty resellers.
Sideshow Collectibles does not assign official third-party grades to their statues, so condition assessment relies on visual inspection. Check for hairline cracks in the white polystone body, particularly around the joints and antenna base, as these are common stress points. Inspect the painted details for chipping or fading, and verify that the clear coat remains intact without yellowing.
