Happy New Year!

Hello Bif Bang Pow! fans, Lenzi here, with all the news for 2012. It's the time of year when everywhere you turn, someone is giving you a run down of what was great about 2011 and what's going to make life worth living in 2012. Well, we're not going to take it quite THAT far, but as a public service announcement, we think you'll appreciate what we're alerting you to. If you thought 2011 was full of surprises and innovation, wait 'til you see what's coming!   We have had an amazing reception for our DOCTOR WHO retro range, ensuring more to come. Our next wave of figures is up for pre order right now, and if you thought our TARDIS 'bobble head' was innovative, you're going to love where we're taking characters from this license. We're also delving into other goodies, like a journal that's a replica of River Song's, glassware and more! Design and sculpting for our two newest license announcements, THE SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN and BATT

Geek Shall Inherit Podcast!

December    12, 2011 (Los Angeles)-     Fandom and the action figure industry have joined forces to start a new podcast called Geek Shall Inherit  (  www.geekshallinherit.com )   Jason Lenzi, CEO of toy company BifBangPow!   ( www.bifbanpow.com ) and Daniel Pickett of ActionFigureInsider.com ( www.actionfigureinsider.com )    have joined forces to create a one of a kind podcast that will span the breadth of pop culture.   This unique podcast will give fans insight into the how and why of the action figure world as well as catch them up with many other aspects of the pop culture universe in regular doses.    When  Jason Lenzi  founded BIF BANG POW! in 2005, the idea was to bring items to the marketplace that he himself would want to own.  Cultivated from TV, movies, books, comics, music and more, for the past seven years, Bif Bang Pow! has been bringing high quality action figures, bobble heads, prop replicas and more to the massive cult audience that wishes these items were already

Size Matters #SMDM #Bigfoot #SixMillionDollarMan

Although some fans may want complete accuracy in our product lines - and as much as we are committed to that accuracy, we are also constrained by the realities of what we do.  So many factors play into toy production that we can't always be everything to everyone.  Case in point?  Our upcoming Bigfoot action figure from The Six Million Dollar Man.   Should it be 9 3/4 inches tall?  Yes.  But it will be 9 1/4 inches due to costing and format constraint issues of the 8-inch EMCE body.  Just letting everyone know!  Pre-orders for  The Six Million Dollar Man product line will begin in late 2011.

The new Venture Bros. 3 3/4-inch action figure line is a massive pursuit, so Bif Bang Pow! is teaming up with Entertainment Earth and EE Distribution in order to make this project happen. Your pre-order for these characters has never been more important! We need to hit a certain number of pre-orders before we can throw the switch for these figures to start production, and that's where you come in! Just pre-order the figures from this list or ask your favorite comic and toy shops to order the figures for their store. Your credit card will not be charged until the figures arrive in 2012-- provided we meet the order goal-- and then you'll be able to have been a part of Venture Industries history! These figures sport 10 points of articulation and unlike our retro action figures, are 100% original and new sculpts. The factories require a large commitment, and that's why we wanted to let you know that your pre-orders are so important to making this line a reality. The

Take Rod Serling to Lunch!

Technically, this is called at Tin Tote, but many of us consider this a good old fashioned lunchbox. Either way, this is Bif Bang Pow!'s first item featuring Rod Serling, and our first "non-toy" we have released. Featuring series-specific black-and-white artwork that includes the show's creator himself, it also highlights his famous opening quote any fan will instantly recognize. The metal lunch box measures 8 5/8-inches wide x 6 3/4-inches tall x 4-inches deep. It's a terrific collectible that makes a great gift for any Twilight Zone admirer! Limited edition of 1,500 pieces. Order yours today!

Read this review about our new Mystic Seer Signature Edition - We love it! Thanks to one of our biggest fans, Craig Beam, for not being too harsh on us! Just know that we HAD to make this item, and we had to convince Mr. Shatner to sign it. He's never signed or been involved with any Twilight Zone merchandise before, so this was our big chance. And talk about a dream come true. He came to our booth to meet us. We didn't have to wait in any line to meet him! True story - he said that he wished us well in our "Enterprising" business. Crack open that piggy bank and pre-order yours today! . Limited to just 150 pieces!

2011 Comic-Con Exclusive #4 Revealed. William Shatner is Bob Wilson and Don Carter!

Image
Everyone has been asking if we would be making a William Shatner version of our 8-inch scale "Mego" style retro EMCE action figures representing the two The Twilight Zone episodes he starred in, “Nightmare at 20,000 Feet” and “Nick of Time.” We confirmed that the answer was yes a few weeks back on Twitter. But there's more to the story... At first we were contemplating releasing two separate action figures on our standard blister cards. But we felt that these characters were way too special, way to unique to be just another two figures in our standard product line. So we decided to combine Mr. Shatner's two iconic performances into one fantastic Deluxe boxed set. This set comes with one EMCE action figure body along with clothing and accessories so you can recreate William Shatner’s image from both of the episodes he starred in. Let's talk about the head sculpt. It's new. All-new. Newly approved by William Shatner himself. The artist is one of
