Frank Cho Box Art

Check out these image of Frank Cho’s artwork for Hasbro’s Shanna-Kazar-Sabu Action Figures. Does this mean this will be a regular-run-to-the-local-toy-store-and-buy-figure?

You guys are probably wondering what these art are from. Hasbro recently hired me to do the box art for their massive action figure toys, which will contain Shanna, Kazar and Sabu.

These two are the art for the box flap.

The front will have a massive art by me with all three figures, Shanna-Kazar-Sabu.

I have to rescan the Shanna-Kazar-Sabu art and will give it to Ugo to post later.

This Hasbro action figure will debut in San Diego Comicon.
