To
celebrate the return of Star Wars
comic books to Marvel Comics, Hasbro Toys and Diamond Comic
Distributors have created a unique Star Wars #1 PREVIEWS
Exclusive Toy Fair Edition, a special variant
that will be limited to 10,000 copies.
Created completely from Hasbro Star Wars Black action figures, the variant photo cover depicts Darth Vader during an audience with Emperor Palpatine, flanked by Imperial Stormtroopers with three fan-favorite bounty hunters – IG-88, Boba Fett and Bossk – in the background.
The
impressive tableau was staged on a physical, scaled throne room set
with actual lighting, and with no computer-generated enhancements
under the direction of Hasbro’s Star Wars product team. (In other
words, there really are
nearly 50 individual Stormtrooper Black figures on this cover!) This
should make the variant a must-have for any action figure fan who
wants to mark the start of a new era for Star
Wars comics.
Star Wars, comic book and toy fans can pre-order their own copy of the Star Wars #1 PREVIEWS Exclusive Variant from their local comic book specialty shop now to ensure their copy when it releases January 13, 2015. The final cut-off date to pre-order is December 15th, making it critical for fans who want the limited edition to get it before time runs out.

“We
wanted to commemorate this event in a very special way,” said
Executive Director of Sales, Mike Schimmel. “We had a great concept
for the cover, and when we brought it to Hasbro’s Star Wars team,
they enthusiastically jumped at the chance to recreate the cover with
real action figures.
“We thank
Hasbro for working with us to create this amazing variant cover,
which is Diamond’s first-ever Toy Fair-exclusive comic, and one
that we’re sure will be treasured by every Star
Wars fan who is fortunate enough to
obtain this limited edition.”
