BBP appreciation thread

[turnbolt]

I have many many BBP products. A huge fan of what they are trying to do.

All I have to say is this...



This lives at my house. For that I am forever grateful for their hard work.

Hey everyone. I was reflecting on this year and all of the great licenses BBP has picked up after listening to many of the recommendations on this board. Then I got to thinking... These guys are just like us. They came here as fans to share their love of this format and their childhood memories. The one big difference though, they took that love and decided to involve risk into the equation. Like a few others here, they decided to invest in that love by creating product none of us ever got to see as kids in the Mego format. And so they put up their own capital, risk their own livelihoods, to see that dream come to fruition. And in the end, we all benefit from that risk. I am tickled to death to have NEW Six Million Dollar Man product. I'm still rubbing my eyes over seeing an official Battle Star Galactica Cylon. And look at all of the other great licenses like the Twilight Zone, Dr. Who, The Venture Bros, and so many more. And lets not forget what has already been delivered: Flash Gordon movie figures, Lost, and the Big Lebowski. I have those lines and love them. And what should be a banner year for BBP in 2012 has not come without some pretty big bumps along the way. So I want to take this opportunity to recognize the faces behind these figures. To recognize the hard work, enormous risk, and personal sacrifice these talented folks have taken to make figures many of us have hoped for (and dreamt about) since we were kids.

Your undying love and sacrifice for this craft has not gone unnoticed.

I second this and couldn't have put it any better! Thank you so much BBP for all of your contributions to this hobbie and for sharing in our mutual passion for this format!
I am especially grateful for your understanding and desire to correct some of the unfortunately missed opportunities by Mego and that some of the great licenses from that time have now been transformed into the greatest of all formats and can now stand proudly along side their Mego cousins. Being a kid of the '70's, from the very beginning (yes, I can remember the nights these shows first aired), I have always felt that both The Six Million Dollar Man & Battlestar Galactica were 2 of the greatest TV shows of this type and 2 of my personal favorites of all time. I'm very excited, as has been stated by those before me, to see new products under The Six Million Dollar Man banner, and secondly, to see these 2 lines officially in this format for the very first time! I must say, I'm especially stoked beyond words for the Six Million Dollar Man line!
So a huge thanks to all involved at BBP!

I have all four of the Dr. Who figures, and my inside man knows I want the next ones as well.
I may have voiced concerns about other lines, but still bought the four BSGs in support.
Let's hope the future brings more!

I love BBP!

I have pretty much bought everything they have made in the 8" format and see no reason not to keeping buying!

On the latest Geeks Shall Inherent podcast, it seems Jason is pretty thick skinned and has a good attitude towards criticism. I know his heart is in it and he want to make the best product possible.

great product. have a lot of them on display and waiting for more. kudos to BBP

[Brown Bear]

A lot of us have been voicing our beefs with the new lines but rest assured, we LOVE these toys and WILL buy them all.

I appreciate seeing these lines so much in stores. It's truly a dream come true. Keep going and much success. THANK YOU.

What everyone else said. Thanks to BBP, I have a sweet set of Dr. Who figures, Flash Gordon and Ming - figures I was wishing would be in scale with my other Megos, and BBP delivered. In spades! Plus, a TARDIS and K9 set on the horizon! I've seen the Venture Bros. I've seen the Twilight Zone figures. All of 'em knocked right out of the park.

Yeah, slight bump with the BSG figures (don't care, I'm buyin' Cylons anyway!), but like Doc said, even Mego had their problems from time to time. BBP not only owned up to it, but handled it with class and style. Real professionals putting out quality product, and I'm more than happy to support 'em.

I've been thrilled with the figures I have bought. Thanks for letting me have the Mego/Galactica crossover ive always wanted. Also, fourth doctor is one of my favorites.

Jumping on the bandwagon here, i love the Doctor Who line and wish they were coming out faster. I'm getting SMDM and Galactica too, i have always loved those shows. So BBP please keep up the great work and don't overwhelm us too much with getting what we want.

As a distributor of almost everything BBP, I have to say how much I love having their product! I have introduced so many people to BBP and the joy of 8" figures as a whole!
