Our pals at BifBangPow have sent another close up shot of their upcoming 8" product, this time it's the man in black from Lost. More on Lost later on today.

Wow....an appearance in one episode so far and he's already got an action figure....Where's JACK?!

I really like the details of these new figures!! Awesome headsculpt although it looks bit big for the figure.

Nice likeness, but the whole line has confusing character choices. Jacob and MIB are like, 4th wave figures if they ever made it that far. The molded sandal feet bug me a little if that's the final choice.

[Meule]

I'm not a marketing genius, but why release these particular figures first? Especially the man in black is a weird choice.
Having said that the sculpt looks fantastic. And sandal feet, wouldn't be the first time I needed those for a custom

[megoscott]

It probably has some logic to it based on the final season being a conflict between Jacob and MIB, but it still feels wrong to not have Jack, Sayid, and Sawyer represented first.

[The Toyroom]

^ Yeah what Scott said....

Not that these should mirror the McFarlane Lost figures but their 1st wave consisted of Jack, Locke, Kate, Hurley, Charlie and Shannon (all major players 'cept Shannon). Wave 2 was Eko, Sawyer, Sun and Jin. Again, major characters.

Jacob and MIB are major characters in the final act but they haven't been there since Day 1, like Jack.

[Gorn Captain]

To be honest, some of these would be my last choice.
There's great EMCE stuff heading our way, but this wouldn't be it for me.
Can't imagine someone being over the moon when getting this guy....

[The Toyroom]

I keep looking at that head and it's creeping me out....reminding me of Christian Slater.....

[Remco Monster]

Weird choice and a pass for me. Same with Jacob.

[megoscott]

Frustrating. This line brings together my two favorites things right now, LOST and Mego. I want it to succeed!

[Remco Monster]

I will definitely buy Ben. Looking forward to seeing the Kate. She will be a buy as well, as long as her likeness is great. Locke and Hurley will be extremely hard for me to pass up.

[LovethoseMegos]

I'm a huge lost fan and I have to agree with most...no Jack and Sawyer?!? Jack should have come with Locke.

[Orion]

The odd thing is that BBP had a 7-inch Jack and Sawyer lined-up before they pulled the plug on that line. I know many weren't happy with the head sculpts on those 7-inch prototypes, but you would think that having Jack and Sawyer in the pipe-line might have made it easier to transition to the 8-inch line. As suggested above, the MIB must be a central figure in the series this year, so he is getting pushed to the forefront.

Darn. And here I thought we were getting a Johnny Cash figure.
