Exclusive STAR WARS figures available for Pre-Order

By pghhead -

EDITOR’S NOTE: Here’s yet another reason why dedicated comics and genre fans should be pre-ordering their stuff each month.  At $55+ a pop, you shouldn’t expect to see a half-dozen of these goodies on display in your local comic shop. And don’t be walking in your local store expecting to see a bunch of those Marvel Civil War figures either — those are $100 a pop.  The comic store has to pay for everything they order —and with a no-return policy, they can’t afford to play guessing games.  That’s why you need to pre-order — to make sure you get exactly what you want. If you want one or more of these figures, do the right thing and pre-order it. Unlike the shop, you don’t have to pay until you pick it up.


(BALTIMORE, MD) – (February 08, 2017) – The Empire strikes back at comic shops as Diamond Comic Distributors and Beast Kingdom offer more selections from their line of PREVIEWS Exclusive (PX) Egg Attack Figures.

 

You’ll find two unforgettable figures from the Empire’s trek across the sands of Tatooine: a fierce Sandtrooper and faithful Dewback. The Dewback is incredibly detailed—made of vinyl, it has ten moveable joints and comes with saddlebags to complete is ornate design. The Sandtrooper stands at 6 inches and has over 24 points of articulation, painted with expert technique to perfectly represent the damage from Tatooine’s unforgiving desert.

These two PREVIEWS Exclusive figures are featured in the February issue of Diamond’s PREVIEWS catalog. The Dewback alone will carry a suggested retail price of $55, while the set will carry $145. Both will be available in stores early April 2017.

  • STAR WARS: A NEW HOPE DEWBACK PX AF (FEB173046)
  • STAR WARS: A NEW HOPE DEWBACK AND SANDTROOPER PX AF (FEB173047)

 

Fans can pre-order their own Beast Kingdom Egg Attack Action Figures at their local comic book specialty shop to ensure they can track rebel scum at their convenience.  To find a comic shop near you and order, visit http://www.comicshoplocator.com/Home/1/1/57/575.

Robert Kirkman: Invincible, Walking Dead, Wolf-Man

I wasn't actually a huge fan of Robert Kirkman when I first started reading his books.  He was competent, sure, but I didn't see the appeal-- The Irredeemable Ant-Man was a boring side story in the middle of  Civil War and  The Initiative (although I've since changed my mind about this), and his  Ultimate X-Men run was, in many places, a mixed bag (although I did very much enjoy his "Phoenix?" storyline).  And  Marvel Zombies  just seemed like a ridiculous idea--not that I bothered to try it at the time. Now, though?  I've completely reevaluated my opinion on his work, and when his name is attached to a project, I'm far more likely to give it a look.  I don't know if I'd classify him as a master storyteller or a comics icon--but he's very skilled, he has an incredible knack for dialog, and he writes stories that, no matter how ridiculous, seem real .  In a medium where characters frequently violate the rules of physics, that's not alway

What else did I finish reading last month?  Here’s a cross-section of various titles . . . . . . . . . WITCHBLADE #126 “War Of The Witchblade Part 2” by Ron Marz and Stejepan Sejic  (Top Cow/Image) Preface:  Now here’s an interesting concept! = In order to attract new readers to its’ titles Top Cow is giving out free books each month as part of it’s Let Us Win You Over project.  ( www.topcow.com/freecomics )  Every month it’s a different title. And they work through different comics shops each month as well.  In April the title was Witchblade #126 and one of the participating dealers was Captain Blue Hen Comics in Newark, DE (my preferred supplier) so voila! - - - I find a copy in my hands. Since the last time I explored the Witchblade series the mythology has expanded to a battle between the forces of light and dark with each side choosing its agents on Earth, hence the Darkness vs. the Witchblade.  I’m still not overly interested in this type of fare on a regular basis, but

Best descriptive 2013 title: Vampire Vixens of the Wehrmacht

VAMPIRE VIXENS OF THE WEHRMACHT “If You Want Blood” one-shot (Bump and Grind Comics, August 2013, second printing with foreword by film maker Paul Campion) Writers: The Emperor + Alex Ronald.  Artist: Alex Ronald.  Letterer: Jim Campbell. Original Concept: Alex Ronald.  (Parental Advisory, Adult Content)  Limited print run, but digital copies are available from http://www.vampirevixens.co.uk/           If you can’t figure out what this comic is about from that title, then I’m guessing you’ve been living for decades in a cave without a DVD player and no access to cable television.   VAMPIRE VIXENS OF THE WEHRMACHT is a fast-paced horror comic driven by action, rooted in World War II history, and dripping with blood, gore and tantalizing sexual imagery.  What makes it work is a light-hearted approach to the subject matter, all in fun but never silly or stupid.  You may find yourself laughing at several of the scenarios or chuckling at the devilish dialogue.           VAMPIRE VIXENS O
