• it does not limit the copyright owners' rights to sell the wider copyrighted work in any way;
• it provides an illustration of this object in the series, and is to be used solely for this purpose.

This image is the cover of a videotape, DVD, Blu-ray, etc. and the copyright for it is most likely owned by either the publisher of the video or the studio which produced the video in question.

Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content for more information.
