2009 Rittenhouse Stargate Heroes is a mash-up of the franchise’s various incarnations. While the elements are focused primarily on SG-1 and Atlantis, Continuum and Universe make appearances as well. The checklist is heavy on premium inserts with three autographs and a pair of costume cards per box.
The base set is a character-centered one. Nine key characters from the shows each get nine cards. Nine additional spots are reserved for major supporting stars.
There’s actually a card #91, however it’s not in packs and not generally considered to be part of the complete set. SG-1‘s General George Hammond is featured on the card, which was only available through the Rittenhouse Rewards program by saving up points found on the company’s wrappers.
Autographs and Other Inserts
The 2009 Rittenhouse Stargate Heroes autographs have a deep mix of stars. There aren’t a ton that are major characters from the shows. However, there are plenty of actors from outside projects. Saw‘s Tobin Bell, John Noble of Fringe, Superman II‘s Sarah Douglas and celebrity scientist Bill Nye are among the notable names. Closer to home, major Stargate signers include Amanda Tapping and Jason Momoa.
Both the SG-1 and Atlantis autograph designs are used in the set.
Michael Shanks’ signature is also in the product with a third design. However, his card is a three-case incentive and not in regular packs.
Designs for the costume cards take the same multi-show approach as the autographs. Think of them as bookends for both series.
In addition to regular costume cards for both SG-1 and Atlantis, 2009 Rittenhouse Stargate Heroes has five dual costume cards and autographed costumes from Tapping and Beau Bridges.
Although Stargate Atlantis never got a full set for its fifth and final season, each of the 20 episodes appear here via inserts. That said, the look is the same as previous base designs for the show. Stargate: Continuum, the direct-to-video film based on SG-1, gets an 18-card insert set. There are also nine Stargate Universe Preview cards showcasing the then-incoming show.
Wrapping up the in-pack inserts are nine new lenticular Stargate In Motion cards.
Each case of 2009 Rittenhouse Stargate Heroes came with one of two ArtiFEX cards. Both have detailed art by Steve Anderson and are numbered to 300.
The six-case incentive is a prop card with a piece of a Stargate.
2009 Rittenhouse Stargate Heroes had a production run of 6,000 boxes.
