Retailers and press can see the first prototypes at New York Toy Fair, February 14-17, 2010, at the EMCE Toys booth #4944.

I may actually have to get credentials for this year's show!

That is just an out of this world announcement. Stunning. Modern Mego licenses. Retro Mego licenses. 40+ new action figures in the 2nd half of the year. From just this company alone.

Toss more DST EMCE Trek into the mix, Mattel WGSH and all the rest, and this will seriously test my ability to "Collect 'Em All".

Congratulations to all involve, best of luck, and thanks for keeping the format alive (and for providing what should be amazing custom fodder)

Glad this news is out...gonna be a busy year.

We can now publicly thank Jason for seeking us out to work with him on this. Unlike prior efforts, Jason's enterprises have the funding, distribution and clout to make these eclectic choices happen. With the seismic changes in the toy industry the last few years, it has become impossible for cottage-style or entry-level endeavors to launch such esoteric and culty characters. Only firms that have already located and developed loyal customer bases around those properties have the ability to develop these lines.

Jason's work is just the latest example that the EMCE brand is recognized as the place to go if a licensee wants to "mego-ize" their lines.

Those who will be attending Toy Fair can see Jason's prototypes at our booth #4944; I'm also sure that pix will make their way here shortly after the doors open.

I, for one, can't wait for the Twilight Zone, Flash and Venture Bros. figs.

Wowsers!! Can't wait to own a Rod Serling figure. IS Flash Gordon classic or the Sam Jones movie you guys were already working on with Castaway?

[BifBangPow! JLabs]

Interesting. So did Bif Bang Pow! pull the plug on the 7-inch Lost figures they originally considered doing?

Yes. Just today.

This makes me happy. I see they are listed on Entertainment Earth, will there be any exciting tie-ins with the new Season?

[palitoy]

I'm pretty darn happy to get a Sam Jones.

We can't say.

If you've been searching for action figures from Lost, search no more. They're right here! Each fan-favorite character stands 8-inches tall in a retro action figure style. With fabric clothing and multiple points of articulation, these figures are incredibly authentic and lifelike. You'll want to discover them all!

Lost 8-Inch Action Figures Series 1 Set:
Featured in this amazing case are retro versions of the enigmatic Ben Linus in The Others ragged clothing, and Kate Austen sporting her usual island wear.

Lost 8-Inch Action Figures Series 2 Set:
This remarkable case brings you retro versions of sweet and lovable Hugo "Hurley" Reyes dressed in his mental institution garb, plus John Locke in his island attire with a knife accessory.
