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

^^^ Dang it, rather see Buster Crabbe

The Flash Gordon is the Sam Jones movie version.

[BifBangPow! JLabs]

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

Yes. Just today.

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?

[EMCEtoys]

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.

Holy Wozzers!

[Flynne]

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

Oh, so jealous right now...

[Hulk]

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)

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!

So someone get me wrong, all these lines will be in 8", wow, I think Ill just divert my paycheck to them every month now!!!

[Meule]

Holy crap, somebody pinch me, I think I'm dreaming
2010 truly is the year of the Mego revival

Thanks everyone! We're thrilled about this and can't wait to show everyone what we've been working on. One additional point needs to be mentioned:

Visit bifbangpow.com often for updates, specific character announcements and images. Pre-orders begin today for select items at entertainmentearth.com and other fine retailers.

I see a Hank Moody (Californication) bobblehead there as well, does that mean he'll get the 8" treatment as well?

Dexter™ (Showtime Networks)

Lost™ (ABC Disney)

The Big Lebowski™ (NBC Universal)

The Twilight Zone™ (CBS)

Flash Gordon™ (King Features)

I only semi know Flash Gordon, Twilight Zone, I'm assuming Lost is the TV series on ABC that will be over this season, and the rest i have no clue who it is.
While it may be great news, I'll keep my $$$ on this batch of stuff as it holds zero interest to me.
Great job to all any way, looking forward to what may interest me in the future if line doesn't go the same way CTVT did with the odd choices of figures.

[ScottA]

Some interesting choices there. Bring on Flash Gordon.

[Remco Monster]

Well, it is cool news, and I look forward to seeing what other properties they tackle, but as far as those listed, the only ones that interest me are Twilight Zone and Lost, and to be honest, I don't really care for Mego style figures from either. Actual product may very well change my opinion though.
