The Hasbro San Diego Comic-Con Exclusive Pre-Show Giveaway – Day 5

Joe, and Star Wars brand teams at Marvel and the good folks at Hunter PR, ActionFigurePics.com and TheFwoosh.com are pleased to be give our readers a chance to win one of the upcoming San Diego Comic-Con exclusives or other prizes.

Star Wars Vintage Collection Bounty Hunters 4-Lom and Zuckuss 2-Pack

While 4-Lom and Zuckuss are now quite well-known to fans, their proper names were initially a topic of considerable debate. When Kenner first produced the figures, the names somehow got reversed. But since these two bounty hunters were not identified in the film, the switch was not immediately noticed. When the mix-up was finally caught and corrected in 1989, Zuckuss and 4-Lom finally got back their rightful identities. In this exclusive set, we are paying homage to the first appearance of these bounty hunters that puzzled so many for years, with replicas of the original packaging-switched names and all!

At the end of last week we had a preview of what was to appear in Toyfare #157, the San Diego Comic-Con pre-show issue, and that issue is on news stands today.

Toy Wars – a Star Wars Recreation with Toys by Sillof

Are you a fan of Star Wars and action figures? Then Toy Wars may just be your kind of movie. Sillof, who is widely known for his themed custom action figure creations, like the Gaslight Legion of Doom, has published the first part of his remake of Star Wars: a New Hope.

What makes it special? Toy Wars is filmed entirely with Sillof’s 3.75-inch scaled custom figures and dioramas. While I found myself missing the spoken words, I was amazed at the different set pieces that Sillof created.
