Bif Bang Pow!

Manufacturer Releases the First in a Line of All-New Action Figures and Bobble Heads Based on the ABC Series


LOS ANGELES, CA (June 25, 2009) – Bif Bang Pow! unveils the first in a line of collectibles based on the immensely popular ABC series Lost at Comic-Con International: San Diego 2009. And there's more to come with a special array of bobble heads and articulated action figures with story-specific accessories already in the works.

The creepy and enigmatic Benjamin "Ben" Linus is the first to be released in bobble head form, available exclusively at the Entertainment Earth booth (#2343) at Comic-Con International: San Diego 2009, July 23-26. Based on recent storylines from the show, he comes bruised and bloodied with his arm in a sling… but you wouldn't want him any other way! He stands on a Dharma Initiative logo base and comes in Dharma Initiative packaging. Only 1,008 pieces of this Comic-Con Exclusive will be produced. (Retail price: $17 including tax - while supplies last - limit two per person.)

"The twists, turns, and multiple threads that characterize Lost give rise to a host of distinctive and unforgettable characters. These characters lend themselves to the creation of unique figures and accessories that have terrific fan appeal and serve to memorialize this exceptional TV series," said Jason Lenzi, CEO of Bif Bang Pow! "We're thrilled to be bringing new bobble heads and poseable action figures to market in the vein of what Bif Bang Pow! has done with licenses in the past. As always with Lost and Bif Bang Pow!, expect the unexpected!"

Lost stars Naveen Andrews as Sayid, Henry Ian Cusick as Desmond, Jeremy Davies as Daniel Faraday, Michael Emerson as Ben, Matthew Fox as Jack, Jorge Garcia as Hurley, Josh Holloway as Sawyer, Yunjin Kim as Sun, Ken Leung as Miles, Evangeline Lilly as Kate, Elizabeth Mitchell as Juliet, and Terry O’Quinn as Locke. Lost was created by Jeffrey Lieber and J.J. Abrams and Damon Lindelof. Abrams, Lindelof, Bryan Burk, Carlton Cuse, Jack Bender, Edward Kitsis, and Adam Horowitz serve as executive producers. Lost, which is filmed entirely on location in Hawaii and premiered on September 22, 2004, is from ABC Studios.

Our Dexter action figure has been making the rounds. It landed a spot in TV Guide in early May, and now our Entertainment Earth Exclusive Dark Defender action figure (just announced) is the #1 most anticipated exclusive at San Diego Comic-Con 2009 (and we can assure you that many more exclusives were submitted for this list).

Hey gang, Jason here to brighten your day and bring you great 'Dexter' news. We're adding to our ever popular 'Dexter' bobble head line, with two more characters from the Miami Police Homicide Division: Lt. Maria LaGuerta and Vincent Masuka! That's right, the toughest division head and the creepiest lab tech on the force are now available for pre order, and they're going fast! Since you already have the rest of the characters (you do, don't you? What?? Well what are you waiting for?), it'd be silly not to get these two new beauties. Both have all the detail you'd expect from Bif Bang Pow!, and have been personally approved by the actors themselves. So grab 'em while they're hot! Then get 'em home, and pretend that Masuka says something completely inappropriate to LaGuerta, and gets bopped on the bobble. Ahhh, playtime with 'Dexter'. Such fun!

Ok, Bif Bang Pow! fans. I warned you that the news was going to come fast and furious in the next couple of months, and here's another doozy for you. It's time to debut the first two items from our 'Twlight Zone' collection: The Invader and The Mystic Seer! After much hard work and meticulous research, we're really excited at how they've turned out. Now, notice how I didn't call them 'bobble heads'? That's because we think slightly outside the box here at BBP!, which is probably why no office can hold us! While the Mystic Seer COULD technically be called a 'bobble head', because the little devil head does indeed 'bobble', we think you'll agree it's a unique item and way to present this iconic piece. As for the Invader, being a stocky little fellow, he 'bobbles' at the waist, for that "walking on an alien planet" action.

They're almost here, but they're up for pre order NOW. And just WAIT 'til you see what else we have coming from that other dimension. Trust me, you'll want 'em all......
