WizKids has announced the July release of Comic-Con The Movie Episode IV: A Fan’s Hope HeroClix Combo Pack (MSRP $29.99), which will include a DVD of Morgan (Supersize Me) Spurlock’s documentary about Comic-Con that follows the adventures of five fans attending the 2010 Comic-Con event plus HeroClix figures of Stan Lee, Joss Whedon, superfan Harry (Ain’t It Cool News) Knowles, and Morgan Spurlock.
The four HeroClix figures included in the exclusive Combo Pack represent the key figures who helped make the movie possible. Spurlock’s movie includes interviews with such Comic-Con luminaries as Lee, Whedon, Frank Miller, Kevin Smith, Matt Groening, Seth Rogen, and Eli Roth among others.
This special Combo Pack is not a Comic-Con exclusive. It will be available, albeit for a limited time, for North American brick-and-mortar stores (the DVD is "Region 1," which means it will only play in DVD players set up for the North American region).
There will be three different "special editions" of the Combo Packs. One featuring just the Stan Lee and Harry Knowles figures will be sold at Comic-Con, while another that includes only the Joss Whedon and Morgan Spurlock figures will be a Toys ‘R’ Us exclusive. The Combo Pack featuring all four figures will only be available via game stores and hobby shops ordering via Alliance Game Distributors.
