LOS ANGELES, CA – Scott Ian, co-founder and rhythm guitarist of the seminal heavy metal group Anthrax, just signed a licensing deal with toy company Bif Bang Pow! to produce action figures and bobble heads in his image. Following the company’s success with collectibles from films (The Big Lebowski and Flash Gordon: The Movie) and television (Showtime Network's Dexter), this marks BBP!’s first plunge into the world of rock and roll. "I'm really excited to be working with Bif Bang Pow! on what is to be my first action figure," says Ian. "The same people that made the Lebowski figures want to make one of me. That's sick!!! No desk will be complete without one!" Says Jason Lenzi, CEO of Bif Bang Pow!, "Scott Ian is obviously a legendary musician and well-known personality, but he's a genre fan as well. I think he's perfect for BBP!'s growing roster of unforgettable characters." Working closely together, Bif Bang Pow! and Scott Ian

".....and I'm talkin' about the Dude here". Now, didn't we mention just a while back that the coming weeks would be full of juicy Bif Bang Pow! news? As you may have noticed, a certain serial killer has just joined our illustrious ranks, and soon we'll be adding another name to the Pow! team, along with more characters and variants in Series 2 of our existing lines. But for now, you'll just have to make due with the handsome fellow you see before you. Yup, the Dude's back, as our first new bobble head in over a year! He's dressed as the world first saw him, in the opening moments of 'The Big Lebowski', and is authentic in every way, right down to the tiled flooring. He's extra special, though, as he's our fourth (count 'em, fourth!) exclusive, this time, for the good folks over at nbcuniversalstore.com . He won't be up for sale for a little while yet, but we suggest you all tie strings around your index fingers as a reminder

Ah, who could forget those immortal words spoken by Walter in 'The Big Lebowski'? It's only one of the best lines in the film, and one we at the Bif Bang Pow! offices are proud of quoting on a near daily basis. And we have even more reason to celebrate it now, as we finally have a little three dimensional Donny to call our own. Yes folks, after a long gestation period, the late, great Donny Kerabatsos is going to be available as a brand new bobble head, the first new character we've added to our 'Big Lebowski' line up. We've captured his oblivious optimism perfectly, and think he'll make a fine addition to your growing collections. He's available right now for pre-order, so what are you waiting for? Our Dude bobbles have been going like marmots in heat, so if I were you I wouldn't dilly-dally.
