I've been looking through Bif Bang Pow's SDCC images & they do use fabric in an interesting way in their lines. Their toys are more basic. The groin articulation is hideous. They do leave a bit to be desired, but they are not terrible. But hey, I buy a lot of toys many collectors won't touch! (Playmates Trek/Mattel JLU/Jakks WWE to name a few)

You know what would have been perfect bodies for LOST? The super-articulated Buffy figures that DST tried out and then quit on. Because LOST is all about adventure, traipsing around an island. They're like a more realistic Lara Croft. So super-articulated figures that could grab and climb and hold and basically look really physically fit, rather than standing there with huge bulging crotches, would have worked.

They've abandoned the Sawyer and Jack sculpts as shown above. BifBangPow has decided to release all their figures in Mego-style form. I am not joking. Visit entertainmentearth.com for preordering info. Or don't. LOS ANGELES, CA (February 2, 2010) – Announcing one of the widest ranges of highly articulated 8-inch retro-style action figures in years. In cooperation with EMCE Toys, Bif Bang Pow!™ is proud to bring the original "’70s style" of play to a brand-new line of articulated action figures based on some of the world's most popular properties. Reproductions reminiscent of the best-selling action figures of the 1970s and early 1980s, these highly articulated figures will feature body designs by EMCE Toys. Each 8-inch scale figure will include real cloth clothing and plastic accessories where appropriate. Over 40 licensed action figures are planned for 2010. The first are targeted for an early summer arrival and Comic-Con International: San Diego 2010, with others to follow later in the year. Included are much-demanded characters from: The Venture Bros.™ (Cartoon Network) Dexter™ (Showtime Networks) Lost™ (ABC Disney) The Big Lebowski™ (NBC Universal) The Twilight Zone™ (CBS) Flash Gordon™ (King Features) Scott Ian (Anthrax) The Venture Bros.™ creator Jackson Publick, who has been working closely with Bif Bang Pow! to bring these to market, noted that the upcoming figures are “very impressive and extremely faithful to the characters, while also finding a very comfortable middle ground between 2-D and 3-D design. Bif Bang Pow! has deftly solved a number of design problems I thought anyone attempting a 3-D interpretation would get thrown off by. Brock, especially, is going to make the fanboys crap themselves. Let's show these to the world already!” "We're very excited about launching this new range of action figures. For the first time in Bif Bang Pow! history, all of our licenses will be living in the same universe. So if you've always wanted Dr. Girlfriend to seduce Dexter Morgan, or for Ming™ the Merciless to fight The Dude, now's your chance!", said Jason Lenzi, CEO of Bif Bang Pow! "And the exceptional articulation makes the posing possibilities virtually limitless, which comes in handy for animated characters!" "The 8-inch format hasn't seen this breadth of licenses since its peak during the Mego days," said Joe Sena, President of SphereWerx, corporate parent of the EMCE Toys brand. EMCE partner Paul "Dr. Mego" Clarke added, "It is exactly this intention to mix a variety of characters into imaginative play that started my journey to bring this format back ten years ago. We're honored that Jason and his team sought us out to 'Mego-ize' the licenses he holds." Visit bifbangpow.com often for updates, specific character announcements and images. Pre-orders begin today for select items at entertainmentearth.com and other fine retailers. Retailers and press can see the first prototypes at New York Toy Fair, February 14-17, 2010, at the EMCE Toys booth #4944.

Well I know I wont be collecting these. Ill buy a select few, like Shannon and Boone if made. But seriously? Jacob and Man in Black? They were in, what, one episode? What about, oh I dont know, Jack? Sawyer? Kate? Sayid? Jin? Sun? Charlie? Claire? Shannon? Boone? Ana Lucia? Mr Eko? Daniel? Miles? Alpert? Michael? Juliet? No, those dont seem like good choices to being the line with? You think making a figure of the Man In Black, who was truly featured in all of 2 minutes of one episode is more desired by fans?

Jacob and his nemesis are pretty good choices as representitives of the show's mythology. Lets face it, Lost will never have the legs to get every main character out.
MacFarlane screwed the pooch at the height of the show's popularity with bad choices. I know the show is a minefield when it comes to nailing iconic and interesting representations of characters, but who really thought a sunbathing action figure was a good idea?

I actually love Mego styled figures!
They don't look amazing, but they are cute.
I don't watch Lost, so I doubt I would buy any...although I am kinda tempted to watch now that they have figures. Kinda late, I know!

^ Lol, Artistix- you must watch it. it's in my top 5 best show of all time. I've seen MIB and Jacob up for re-order but not the others. I just hope they and series 2 gets made and not end up like the other LOST stuff. Can't be a good sign that they were pushed back tho.

Guys play nice. No need to bed rude to each other.
And no need to bump and old threads either if there's nothing new to add to discussion. For now I'm closing this and when we get news then my all means start a new thread.
