[...] in another corner of these Interwebs, Jason runs a joint called Poe Ghostal’s Points of Articulation – a site that caters to the action figure enthusiasts. While I mothballed all my ‘guys’ [...]

I agree they look pretty rough (to be polite), but they are early prototypes and I'm sure based on the feedback and debate these pics have generated they'll be improved or at least tweaked. I just wonder who thought these images were ready to unleash on to the innerwebs and if they still have a job.

BBP is a newish company to my knowledge, and I only own one product from them a SDCC Twilight Zone Bobble head and it's pretty fantastic so I'm sure they'll come correct with the licenses in the end, VB and all. The founder of the company seems to be a pretty hardcore toy fan, so I'd be surprised if he let the ball drop on properties with the potential to really make his company.

To each their own, live and let live, my opinion is not the only one on the planet etc. – that said: these are shit. Total fucking shit. Unless that bald thing is a Hood tribute on his day off there is no point in them. At all.

Another small, marginal company gets ready to take a cold bath…..it's a fucking recession people so why do you do this to yourselves…….?

@Novelty – The press release also hinted at a line of Californication figures. As they say on the interwebs – WTF (WHY THE FACE)?!?!?!?

Yeah – I'll be back. : )

@PrfktTear – Locking "Henry Gale"/Ben away isn't gonna' help you. You just know that he'll find a way to slowly ingratiate himself into your life – playing off your insecurities – ultimately manipulating you into springing him from your makeshift brig.

But someday – years from now – you'll return, possessed by the spirit of a very ancient evil, and will turn the tables on the former Henry/current Ben/perpetually creepy puppet. : )

I think there are people who love Mego and people who love Lost but I'm not sure there's enough cross-over between the two to make these toys fly.

My wife dragged me into Lost so I got stranded with it

There are a bunch of mixed feelings over this one, one guy in the comments of a post I wrote about how Bif Bang Pow! is to produce Mego style action figures suggested this may not be a tactical move but rather a desperate going under move, or some kind of merge.

Remember that the designs are from EMCE Toys, and these guys are 1/2 old Mego, words from Dr. Mego itself who commented on a post of mine on the history of the action figure and who explained why Mego lost the Star Wars license over to Kenner.

A lot of people still have mixed feelings over these but I bet the nostalgia is still there. Is that enough?

P.S.: Boomarked your post.

Well, as a fervent LOST fan, I care, but I won't lose any sleep over it. Well, unless I got the Ben doll… it'd just be all creepy over in the corner of my bedroom, just looking at me. Then I'd stuff him in my closet, but I could hear him in there… plotting… just biding his time…
