The Hasbro Toy Fair Star Wars #1 Variant Features Star Wars Toys, 'Only' 10,000 Copies Printed
Add another 10,000 to the tally. This is how Star Wars #1 is gong to sell that million. From Marvel, Hasbro and Diamond, here is a Hasbro Previews Exclusive Variant cover for Star Wars #1, for Toy Fair
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.
Retailers can order copies from Previews, but will also get a free copy if they make an appointment with a Diamond Sales rep at Toy Fair in New York in February…
