    Bif Bang Pow... How about Once Upon a Time?

    BBP already has a relationship licensing from ABC with Lost. Any possibility of being able to jump on Once Upon a Time while the show is still a big ratings winner and current? It seems to me like the Fairy Tale incarnations of te characters would not only be much more toyetic than Lost, but there is the huge potential for crossover appeal with the doll market with such a strong female cast of characters and their outfits.

    Although at this point, I guess it would depend on who you might compete for the license with... Seems a natural fit with Barbie or Tonner as well.

    As a big fan of the show I think that would be a very cool idea. I have already even made my own backer card a few episodes ago. I would defiitely buy ALL of the figures if they could make this line and do it right.

      great show, but I dont think the characters are action figure worthy.

        I'd rather see figures from GRIMM, personally. All those cool monster/vessen. Those are some action figures!

        Mina is the world's first Paranormal Petsitter in the new middle-grade book series by Gary Buettner, MONSTER PETS, coming in FALL 2014 from EMBY KIDS. Spooky adventure that's perfect reading for kids 8-12

          It occurs to me that the retro format of removable clthe outfits is ideal because you can include both "real" and "fairy tale" world outfits with each figure.

          Just imagine Potential figures like Rumplstilskin


          The Queen


          Sheriff Gaham/the huntsman


          Snow White in her Forrest Freedom fighter kit


          That seems like a winning assortment to me. With all the other characters they are introducing in a slow burner fashion more likely to be appealing in later assortments.

          Like mirror/genie


          Or red riding hood


          The Prince is inevitable of course


          Grumpy might be a candidate for future fan favourite

            I share your same vision. The Evil Queen is my favorite. She is awesome. The Genie would be a really cool figure as well. I think the timing is definitely right for these to be produced. The series is on fire with a big fan base right now.

                It is a cool idea though. I'd definately get the Ladies figures. no pun intended.

                      It seemed like getting approvals in a timely manner was really hard and they were hamstrung by character and costume choices dictated by ABC. "Bathrobe Hurley" wasn't BBP's idea.

                        And our license expired last August. ABC decided not to renew.
