May The 4th Be With You With A New Range Of Action Figures From Hasbro

by Olly MacNamee

May the 4th be with you, everyone! And, to mark the occasion we bring you a number of Star Wars related posts across the day as we look back at some of the highlights from the very long list of comics that have come out from both Marvel and Dark Horse over the decades since we first witnessed a young farm boy from a galaxy far, far away take up a quest that would see him mature to become a Jedi Knight and help bring down the evil Empire.
But first some Star Wars toy news as Hasbro announces a new range of action figures to celebrate the 40th anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back, available over the coming months and sporting the vintage packaging to really get those pangs of fuzzy nostalgia flared up in collectors and fans alike. Check out the full range below, all of which are up for pre-ordering on the Hasbro Pulse site here.

Star Wars The Black Series 4-LOM and Zuckuss Action Figures

Originally a protocol droid, logic glitches allowed 4-LOM to become a bounty hunter. Zuckuss was a mercenary that heeded the call to locate the Millennium Falcon and its fugitive crew!
When Kenner first produced the 4-LOM and Zuckuss figures, the names somehow got reversed. In this Star Wars 2-pack, the original packaging has been recreated — switched names and all.
