    Reminds me of the knock-off sandaled feet - specifically, the Talbot ninjafeet. I'm okay with 'em.

      Obviously Jacob and the Man in Black will play a large role in this final season, but will these characters even look like themselves at all? We already know one character has inhabited another and the other may have as well. Maybe BBP! knows something we don't.

          The sculpts on these are incredible, that combined with the classic mego body, it just works on same many levels. Perhaps this figure is the upgrade to the knock off man in black

            I think these are pretty cool. I guess they are holding off on the main characters to get us to buy the less popular characters in anticipation.

            I'm going to keep my MIB mib!

              I haven't followed Lost in a year or so, so I will admit when I got this in I had to ask Scott who he is.

                Lost is an important entry into the SCI-FI world, and figures from when the show is actually on the air are overdue. BUT PLEASE FIX THE SKIN TONE these guys are on a tropical island,why are they pasty looking. It makes them hard to look at at times, like those Tonner Dolls......

                  Thank you! Heads are intentionally larger for prototypes. They actually shrink a bit during final production.

                    Great comments. There will be more characters - you'll see your favorites soon. Molded sandals is based on factory capabilities. Non breakable sandals are challenging to manufacturer in mass at this scale.

                        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.
                        Orion is very smart! BBP doesn't make all of the decisions about characters. The character plan, along with outfits and accessories, is absolutely a joint decision process made between BBP and A.B.C. - and is intentional.

                          We agree. Skin tone will be adjusted before production.

                            Awesome, thanks for stopping by and chatting with us about it. I know I'll be placing a preorder soon.

                            I keep thinking about selling the retro thing to Losties. You've probably already thought this, and I don't know what ABC will let you do, but an online 1977 Dharma orientation video/ Megoesque toy commercial would be so freaking awesome.

                                Going retro on these actually makes sense, they were trapped in the 70's last season....
