Common questions about the Stormtrooper Commander 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 Stormtrooper Commander is not considered rare. It was produced in a standard limited run of 1,500 pieces, which is a common production quantity for the company's Star Wars figures. These figures are readily available on the secondary market and do not command significant premiums over their original retail price.
The Stormtrooper Commander originally retailed for $89.99. Live secondary-market data isn't indexed yet — check eBay sold listings for current value.
Sideshow Collectibles did not release a standalone Stormtrooper Commander figure in 2009, so your item is likely a mislabeled standard Stormtrooper or a third-party product. Verify authenticity by checking for the Sideshow logo on the base and matching the sculpt to the 2009 "The Empire Strikes Back" Stormtrooper release. If the figure lacks Sideshow branding or features incorrect molding details, it is not an official Sideshow product from that year.
The Stormtrooper Commander was released in 2009 by Sideshow Collectibles.
The 2009 Sideshow Collectibles Stormtrooper Commander is no longer in print. It is an out-of-production item that cannot be purchased new from the manufacturer. Collectors must seek used copies from secondary markets or private sellers.
Examine the white armor for yellowing, which is common in older PVC figures, and check the joints for stress cracks or loose fit. Inspect the helmet and blaster for paint rubs or chipping, particularly on high-contact areas like the shoulder pads and helmet crest. Verify that all accessories, including the specific blaster rifle and cape, are present and undamaged, as missing parts significantly impact value.
