Bif Bang Pow! to Produce '70s Style Action Figures Based on Some of the World's Most

[BifBangPow! JLabs]

If I read this correctly, EMCE is providing the bodies for these items. Is EMCE also creating/producing the heads and cloth goods/accessories? If so, will any of these items (i.e. the bodies) be available for purchase by themselves from the Doc?

EMCE is providing the bodies. Our team is creating heads, clothing and accessories in full compliance with EMCE standards. At this time there are no plans to have the parts sold separately, but we are open to exploring this down the road.

OK. Thanks for the super quick responses BBP. You guys are really on the ball and obviously very excited and supportive of your product.

So; question for Joe and Doc then: Are you going to offer the superfat body and the female body (I am assuming a new body) for sale seperately?

Regarding our product line, we are using the existing EMCE female body, and we are doing something creative to make the fat "look" of Hurley - not necessarily a new fat body.

EMCE is making some new bodies to accomodate BBP's licenses so a lot of
possibilities are opening up for everyone.

Does that mean Flash Gordon might have some "bulked up Arms"?After all, he is suppose to be a Football Player...and would look kinda wimpy on a standard EMCE Body(especially with that strap T-Shirt he wears).

Cool news. Personally, I'm not a particular fan of any of the properties announced, but I know that most of them have pretty big followings, so I'm sure the lines will do well. Congrats!

Well now, there you go.

Thanks for the awesome info flow and responses to all our questions. I wish you well on your new reMego adventures.

I would love to see a Ash Army of Darkness figure done.

Jason - I figured the fat body was due to be done anyway - but it's your call
how you want to do Hurley. Both options are available.

Given the projects that are already filling Joe and my respective plates, and
given that BBP is very familiar with this scale, we are glad to lend as much
or as little support as Jason wants. EMCE is all about working with partners
at their comfort level.

Personally, I prefer a fat-body to a fat-suit. The comic Toad figure from the Famous Cover line had a pot-belly-suit that wasn't the most convincing.

Very Exciting news! Congrats to all involved.

Those Lost prototypes look awesome!

I would love to see a Ash Army of Darkness figure done.

Amen to that. And an evil Ash version too of course

None of the EMCE/Mego style product has been revealed yet.

You're right, they're going to show them in NY for press and retailers on EMCE's boot.

EDIT: New Lost 8 inch prototypes showed up for an August 2010 release: Hurley, Locke and Ben 8 inch action figures

Yeah, we know, both BBP and EMCE are here posting in this thread

I had to register so I could weigh in on this post.

I’m very excited about these recent developments. I’m 99% interested in your Venture Brothers line(s), but those LOST figures do look interesting; Locke in particular.

I was born in the 80’s, so my MEGO knowledge stems from reading Twister MEGO Theater in ToyFare before they stopped trying. The only MEGO figures I could afford was a Captain America with nothing but his blue jumpsuit and a Spider-Man with a broken leg that had been taped in place. That being said, I loved the Famous Covers line and my current favorite toy on my desk is Mezco’s 8” Gomez figure.

I’m not sure if it’s in line with the retro-feel this line may be going for, but I would be in favor of updated sculpted pieces such as hands. I like my toys to be able to hold their accessories. Which brings me to another question: will the Venture Brothers line include accessories? I think that’s where this line could truly shine.

As I mentioned before, the only MEGO figures I have are from the original series and they didn’t hold up too well. Do these new figures have improved articulation? Are they still held together by rubber bands?

I can’t wait to see the toys. Go Team Venture!
