    My Wave 3 would be

    Sun and Jin
    Desmond and Charlie
    Eko and Daniel Faraday

    The last 2 not being such a natural pairing, I suppose Eko and Anna Lucia or Daniel and Charlotte would be more logical, but Eko and Faraday and Desmond and Charlie are higher on the list.

    It's probably moot, I think Wave 2 may not get made depending on the pre-orders. I heard presales on Wave 1 were fine--despite a similarly negative reaction, so there's hope---but the delay isn't helping build confidence. Wave 1 still seems uncertain to me.

      Thanks for the feedback on these characters. Here's a few points:

      1) ABC has approved all character choices and prototypes.
      2) As with the first series, these are indeed just prototypes. Final production will be significantly improved.
      3) The bottom line is always the bottom line. If good folks like you don't pre-order these, then they just won't come to market. This does not upset us, because we just want you (and us) to be happy. So please, keep the comments coming. We read them!

        Blind Box Baby Belly for Claire! Get some buzz going on this line-up!



        Imagine that creepy feeling just before you go to pull out the little lump in her shirt... will it be cute little Aaron or the freaky deeky doll?

        Give her a crib accessory. Make it a cutout on the back of the package if need be.
        I would buy her for sure.

        Heck, do a hatch playset in that paper "insert tab a into slot b" format (like you are doing with Venture Brothers) on the blister card where you need to collect every figure in the assortment to assemble the hatch. Do the same with the VW van.

            I like where you're going with the blister card add-ons. That would be fun.

            Some simple accessories would make these so much more fun. Dharma beer cans, Oceanic water bottles, handguns--everyone on Lost is an expert with a handgun--or backpacks, something. Sayid in particular looks naked without a weapon and a walkie talkie to repair.

              Likenesses aside, I'd definitely be more interested if there was more playability with these figures....accessories would help tremendously

                I ran across these the other day:
                HobbyGear 1:10 Crawler Accessories

                The accessories are 1:10 scale but probably close enough to Mego scale.

                  Nice rifle!

                  I like the look of Sayid with the swivel biceps. Makes me wish they'd have chosen to go casual with Jack and put him in a t-shirt and jeans. They did a nice job putting tattoos on the Scott Ian figure, Jack's tattoos on the shoulder could have been cool.

                  It's a shame costume variations aren't being proposed. The strength of the Mego style is the ability to change costumes.

                      The Entertainment Earth Catalog came in today, no coincidence I'm guessing, since these guys appeared in it. I had noticed in the last catalog there was no Lost at all, so I'm glad to see this.

                      I think it's cool to see them all together, taken as a whole like this I think they look pretty good. Nothing like a nice punchy catalog layout to bring out the Sears Wishbook kid in me...

                          Seems a bit odd... but they are still showing the prototype versions of Jacob and MIB, aren't they? I wonder why they wouldn't show the released figures instead.

                            Sayid figure looks more like Desmond.

                              It's common practice, they rarely bother to update the product photo. Retro Action Batman is still a prototype as well. DC Universe Retro-Action Batman Figure - Mattel - DC Comics - Action Figures at Entertainment Earth
