Flash Gordon and Ming "Mego" Style?

Happy holidays from the Bif Bang Pow! team. As you may know, we've released some fantastic Alex Ross designs of action figures from the iconic 1980s film Flash Gordon. At San Diego Comic-Con 2009, we revealed a prototype "Mego" style "retro" 8-inch Flash Gordon action figure that we could make. There has been some internal debate, however, that we'd like your opinion on. If we made these action figures (Flash and Ming), what head sculpts should we use? We could make these figures using head sculpts based on the original 10inch design that Mego released in the 1970s , OR we could make all-new head sculpts based on the actors from the film. You decide. Take our poll now at bifbangpow.com on the front page, directly to the right of the "Where to Buy" section. UPDATE 12/22/2009 - The poll has now closed. You have been heard. All-new movie sculpts win by far! Thank you for participating.

Another year, another Comic Con!

Hello Bif Bang Pow! fans and followers! Jason Lenzi here, and I know it's been waaaay too long between posts, so apologies up front. Hopefully this message and all the gear we've been working on will somehow make up for our neglecting you these past few months. Well, once again, Bif Bang Pow! was bigger and better this year at the 40th Anniversary of the San Diego Comic Con, and it seemed the fans just couldn't get enough! We had not one, not two, but EIGHT different exclusive SDCC items, from 'Dexter', 'The Big Lebowski','Flash Gordon' and our newbie, 'LOST', and the loyal BBP!-ers seemed to pick 'em all up! 'Dexter' definitely got most of the buzz, helped in no small part by creepy baby faces everywhere you looked and the hottest tote bag of the con, but Ben Linus and his bobbling, beat up little head wasn't far behind. We also got some great feedback on all the prototypes on display, and debuted our very first two character...

Expand your Homicide Division

Image
Hey gang, Jason here to brighten your day and bring you great 'Dexter' news. We're adding to our ever popular 'Dexter' bobble head line, with two more characters from the Miami Police Homicide Division: Lt. Maria LaGuerta and Vincent Masuka ! That's right, the toughest division head and the creepiest lab tech on the force are now available for pre order, and they're going fast! Since you already have the rest of the characters (you do, don't you? What?? Well what are you waiting for?), it'd be silly not to get these two new beauties. Both have all the detail you'd expect from Bif Bang Pow!, and have been personally approved by the actors themselves. So grab 'em while they're hot! Then get 'em home, and pretend that Masuka says something completely inappropriate to LaGuerta, and gets bopped on the bobble. Ahhh, playtime with 'Dexter'. Such fun!

The signpost up ahead....your next stop....

Ok, Bif Bang Pow! fans. I warned you that the news was going to come fast and furious in the next couple of months, and here's another doozy for you. It's time to debut the first two items from our 'Twlight Zone' collection: The Invader and The Mystic Seer ! After much hard work and meticulous research, we're really excited at how they've turned out. Now, notice how I didn't call them 'bobble heads'? That's because we think slightly outside the box here at BBP!, which is probably why no office can hold us! While the Mystic Seer COULD technically be called a 'bobble head', because the little devil head does indeed 'bobble', we think you'll agree it's a unique item and way to present this iconic piece. As for the Invader, being a stocky little fellow, he 'bobbles' at the waist, for that "walking on an alien planet" action. They're almost here, but they're up for pre order NOW. And just WAIT ...

Get your GEEK on and Boldly Go!

Hey folks, Jolly Jason Lenzi comin' at ya again, with more proof that the world is holding Bif Bang Pow! ever closer to it's collective bosom. It's been a while since I've written, but trust me, with all we have going on in the next few months, you'll get plenty sick of my witty prose soon enough. First news item is, not one, but TWO of our new figures making the PLAY list again in GEEK Magazine! You read that right, the latest and greatest issue of the coolest magazine on the stands, the one that's all about the NEW 'Star Trek' flick and has JJ Abrams on the cover, features our very own Prince Barin and Dexter Morgan figures, facing off with Indiana Jones and John Connor! I mean, I love Indy, and we all know what a temper Mr. Bale has, but I think Barin's laser rifle (and spiked-platform fighting skills) and Dexter's, well, killing compulsion, would have the edge in an all out war. But heck! Let's just grab the new 'Star Trek' phaser...

... a dimension of the coolest collectibles anywhere! Hello everyone, Lenzi with you again, to give you some of the most exciting news to have ever come out of Bif Bang Pow! headquarters. We are proud to announce we've obtained the license for one of the greatest properties ever conceived: 'The Twilight Zone'. Just in time for the iconic series 50th Anniversary, we'll be producing collectibles from the series in the form of statues and bobble heads-but some will have, let's say, 'special' twists to them, much like the series itself. And most exciting of all, for the first time, we'll be bringing the world 3D representations of the man himself, Rod Serling. Serling is one of my personal heroes, and I couldn't be more excited about this property. We aim to do the genius of Serling justice, both in our representations of him and the many creatures and characters that live in that fantastic universe. There's lots more news to come, but the first pro...

DEXTER action figure- it's official!!

Image
Hello everyone, Jason Lenzi here once again with some very exciting news indeed. We just got word today that our friends at Showtime have approved our Dexter Morgan action figure from their hit series, 'Dexter'! That's right, we're posting it on the blog first, and giving you a glimpse of what will soon be available to hold in your bloody-, er, I mean- grubby little hands. We've designed him so that he'll be blood spatter expert by day, and vigilante by night. More details to come, but let's just say he comes with a few 'extras'. Advance buzz on this item is surprising us every day, and we plan on selling out of our first run. So, once again, I suggest you head on over to Entertainment Earth and get your pre-order in NOW . Seriously, people are dying to meet Dexter. (Sorry, I know, but I couldn't resist). We hope you like it! And if you don't, well, we know where some of you live....

"Yes, and proud we are of all of them".

Hello Bif Bang Pow! readers and achievers of all shapes and sizes! Jason Lenzi here again, with some very exciting news that you (and I) have been waiting a long time to read: Wave 3 of our Big Lebowski Urban Achievers action figures are up for pre-order right now! With new and improved images! That's right, after nearly a year and a half of calls, paperwork, designs, hold ups, let downs, drinks, and heartburn, unveiled for the first time, are Donny, the Stranger and Jesus Quintana, in full regalia, over at the Entertainment Earth site, right now! They're crafted with the same loving care that went into our previous waves, and we think they'll look beeeutiful standing proudly next to Jeffrey and Walter (which you already have, right? Right??). From Donny's burger, to the Strangers bottle o' Sasparilla, to Jesus' handy ball cleaner, all of the details and accessories you know and love from the film are in place and ready to move into your office or home. So, lik...

WIZARD's Next! List

Hey gang, Jason Lenzi here again, wishing you all a happy and healthy New Year (it's still ok to do that by the 14th, right?). Our pals over at WIZARD have gone and gotten us a surprise New Year's gift already, and we didn't get them anything! Not fair guys, we're embarrassed. But not too embarrassed to share the good news with the rest of you! In the latest issue (# 208) of WIZARD, (THE pop culture bible, fans), they've put the Dude and Walter on their super cool NEXT! list. Yep, the magazine lists our Urban Achiever Big Lebowski Wave 2 and 3 as must haves, and our boys are rubbing shoulders with some of the coolest cats in the zeitgeist: DC Heroes, Marvel Heroes, and half nekkid girls like Sinful Suzi. And why not? According to the WIZARD gang, the Dude and Walter "could see no better interpretation than these exaggerated figures". Had we said that ourselves, we would've seemed big headed, so thanks WIZARD! So get out and buy the new issue of WIZARD...
