Diamond, Hasbro Create Star Wars #1 PREVIEWS Exclusive Limited Edition Variant
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 just 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.
Fans can find a comic shop using the locator at

“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.”
