Earlier this year, Hasbro launched a campaign asking fans to recreate scenes from "The Force Awakens" using "Star Wars" action figures and vehicles.

After hundreds of submissions, Hasbro selected 24 winners featuring images of TIE fighters, Kylo Ren, Rey, Captain Phasma, and more. 

All of the artwork will be shown off next week at San Diego Comic-Con in Hasbro's booth along with a few other photos taken by toy photographer Johnny Wu (@sgtbananas). If you're attending the event, you can stop by to see the works of art. If you won't be in town, Hasbro gave Tech Insider a sneak peek at what will be on the convention floor.

Bobby Manguia recreated an early moment from the film's opening when Poe Dameron was seen on Jakku with BB-8. Look at the precipitation in the sky!

Another photo from Manguia shows a fan-favorite moment from the trailers of BB-8 peeking around a corner.

We see what you're hiding from. Captain Phasma is pretty daunting.

But don't worry. Han Solo has your back.

Brandon Acree played with shadows to capture this shot of two Guavian Enforcers as they went in pursuit of Han Solo.

Nothing to see here. Just Poe Dameron being shuffled through the streets by some Stormtroopers.

He's undoubtedly on his way to meet Kylo Ren, seen here flanked by some members of the First Order.

Speaking of Stormtroopers, Stuart Robertson nailed this shot of a troop awaiting deployment.

Photographer Brian Winshell took a series of photos. This one shows off Rey outside her makeshift home on Jakku. Check out that sunset.

Here's that same scene in the film. Pretty good, right?

Here's another shot from Winshell of Rey after she was captured by Kylo Ren.

This one shows Poe Dameron at Kylo's mercy.

This photo from David Valdez looks unreal.

It's just not the character shots that are great.

This Kylo Ren shot is from photographer Mark Walker. You can follow him here.

... of which there are many.

But there are also some great shots of ships in flight, like this one of the Millennium Falcon from Matt Rohde.

You can follow Rhode, who's a US Army combat veteran, on Instagram here.

From afar, this photo of Rey on her speeder nearly looks real.

This photo of Rey was taken by Oliver Peterson. You can check out his work here.

This one of TIE fighters flying against a sunset from Jason Yang is one of our favorites.

This one of Rey on her speeder from Hung Doan is great too.

Han and the crew are all gathered outside the Millennium Falcon.

BB-8 was a favorite to take photos of as well. Sam Forbes caught him rolling around in the Falcon.

You can follow Forbes on Instagram. You can tell he's a big "Star Wars" fan. His handle is @itss_a_trap.

Though the little guy's always in motion, this photo of him facing away next to Poe is perfect.

Jason Yang also took this photo. Follow him on Instagram here.

Still, we love to see the little guy in action running away from some TIE fighters.

Toy Photographer Johnny Wu took a few more "Star Wars" photos like this one of Rey sharing a tender moment with our favorite rolling droid.

As well as this shot of Captain Phasma shrouded in flames. It looks pretty realistic...

... as does this one of two Flametroopers.

Together, they look equally as menacing. You have to remember these are just toys, though.
