Apparently, the first action figure variant of a character who has NOT appeared in a Star Wars movie is coming down the pike!
Inspector Thanoth (first appearance in Darth Vader #8) will be gracing the cover of Darth Vader #20. What’s more exciting is that tfaw is currently listing action figure variants for #21, and #22, without images. Are these also going to be comic-exclusive characters? Doctor Aphra?! Triple Zero!?
Darth Vader to date has only had a handful of action figure variants unlike the main Star Wars title. To my count: Darth Vader #1 Darth Vader action figure variant (makes sense; and Vader Down #1 midtown comics shared retailer checklist action figure variant (arguably not even a Darth Vader issue).

  1. Here’s the weird thing: this cover is the first time I’ve noticed that Thanoth is black!
    Because of the series’ dark tone, I never noticed before:

    Weird optical illusions going on. Pleasant surprise, though.

    1. These are aliens, in a galaxy far far away.. I don’t even consider them human so I wouldn’t consider him black, gotta find his race from whatever planet he’s from. 😛

  2. Please pardon my ignorance,but, why is it that it’s being sold for $6.99 (pre-discount, of course)?

    2. The cover price on this issue is $4.99.
      I’m not sure how that gets you to $6.99, but cover price is a dollar higher than normal.

  4. Midtown is listing a Darth Vader #23 Action cover as well in their pre-orders without a cover photo yet.
