Bif Bang Pow! unveils 8" Flash Gordon Movie figure at SDCC

[Megospidey]

^^^ My job with the prototype was to make it as accurate as possible to the character in the movie.

With this outfit, Flash wears boots that are a softer, shiney black material. Dave didn't want to use his boots for the prototype, but something that looked more accurate to the movie.

Changes will be made to the production figure, and I'm sure the boots will get an overhaul.

Here is a link that has some of the toys available at SDCC...Entertainment Earth gets a plug in a couple of the pictures, including the Flash Gordon line. In the 6th photo down (the one with Flash in the white t-shirt holding the "football"), you can see our figure (leg and part of the arm) in the very left side of the pic.

That's a must have. Awesome.

Looks like a very solid figure. I also really like the art on the packaging. I will be keeping an eye out for these figures when they become available.

Boy, I hope Castaway offers these--I think I've procrastinated & missed out on Cap & the Phantom, but the Flash Gordon figures would be excellent!!!

As a first offering:

Flash
Vultan
Ming
Klytus (he's my favorite!)

Thanks, Dave!

I posted a Better pic of the prototoype from AFI's SDCC coverage over at the all new and improved Cast-a-way Toys Blog... (SHAMELESS PLUG FOR NEW BLOG)

Wow...that is a great Pic Dave! I also love the Head Sculpt on Timothy Dalton's Character, in the foreground.

First - very cool, and I can't wait to buy these.
Second - awesome job once again, Derek
Third - I want three Vultans - one to keep in package, one to tear open and make Duke of Exeter custom from Kenneth Brannagh's "Henry V", and one to open and run around my Toy Room screaming "DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVEE EEEEEE!"

one to tear open and make Duke of Exeter custom from Kenneth Brannagh's "Henry V"

You...are my new Friend...you have excellent tastes! One of Branagh's greatest Roles(next to Hamlet).

"We few, we happy few, we band of Brothers.
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my Brother"!

I love Brannagh's Shakespeare work, though my fave is "Henry V", followed by "Much Ado About Nothing" (which also has Brian Blessed as Hero's uncle), and "Hamlet" (which also has Brian Blessed as Hamlet's father). I can do without "Love's Labor Lost", which was throughly lost on me.

Congrats Dave and Jason.
With all these new 8" figures coming out this new Mego era is even bigger than the original Mego era in the seventies

GIMME ONE!

I LOVED that movie!

Okay, it was cheesy; but it was the good type of cheese that you feel no guilt in indulging in.

[Mego Milk]

he looks cool sir.

[The Kryptonite Kid]

Sign me up! I will definitely cop one of these immediately if they are released.
