    Custom figures using Lost

    I was thinking. For those who aren't interested in the Lost characters, but are into customizing, the second wave of Lost figures may be a good deal. You get an EMCE body, clothes and head for under $20.



    Swap Jack's head with Lex Luthor and you can have the comic book Corporate Lex and he will be on a superior EMCE body over the floppy Mattel first wave body. The suit on the prototype looks well done.

    Sayid could be a terrorist bad guy as is (as explored on the show.)

    Sawyer has a cool jumpsuit and a gun.

    Juliet's hippy outfit would be great for Mary Jane or Gwen Stacy.


    Anybody have other suggestions for Lost make-overs?

    I am grateful for the Lost figures for exactly this reason. Customizers have a bigger pool of parts resources. The second wave has many opportunities in it. Hopefully it will see release along with a coolio SDCC figure.

      Aren't Juliet's jeans going to be handy? Any new female clothes are good. I think she'd make a good Brick Mantooth 70's squeeze. Claire's white pregnant top removes, then you've got a simple black dress that's always useful. Her shoes are unique, as are Kate's boots. The cargo pants on these guys are very good too.

            Is it just me, or is Miles wearing a Han Solo vest???



            Edit: I guess Mile's vest has a hood, but that could be cut off.

              I'm tempted to order a few sets just for that reason. Wonder why the license had such a short window? Most of the main characters I want are in that second wave.
              “As human beings we all want to be happy and free from misery… we have learned that the key to happiness is inner peace. The greatest obstacles to inner peace are disturbing emotions such as anger, attachment, fear and suspicion, while love and compassion and a sense of universal responsibility are the sources of peace and happiness.” - The Dalai Lama

                Because the show and its buzz are done. IMO the ending ruined everything. And the further away I get from the shows end the more lame the show feels to me.

                I'm just saying...

                  Juliet in for a Helen Slater Supergirl perhaps?

                    Well, they actually had it for a couple of years. If you recall they initially tried to do 6 inch action figs, but interest was very low. So they switched to Megos, but then had some production slowdowns that delayed the first wave until January. Tick tick tick.

                      I still hope they renew the license......I feel the line needs at least Desmond, Charlie, Jin, Sun, Michael, Ethan and Mikael(spelling?) the eye patch guy. i would not mind seeing Echoe, Anna Lucia and Richard Alpert either

                        SUPER IDEA! Another thought, undress the Retro Batman and redress him in that first guy's black suit! Bruce Wayne is born!
