Bif Bang Pow!

Seasons greetings, Friends of Bif Bang Pow! (or F.O.B.B.P.!), it's Lenzi again, in from the cold to spread more holiday cheer. Our good pals at Toy Fare Magazine (THE place to go for all your toy news needs, duh) have published their awesome 2007 Holiday Gift Guide in the most recent issue (#125), and guess who's showing his mug once again? Go on, guess. Yes, your eyes and guts are telling you right, it's Jeffrey Lebowski. The Dude. El Duderino. Etc, etc, etc...Wedged bravely between the eagerly awaited 'Blade Runner' Special Edition DVD set and King Leonidas' banana hammock, The Dude stands loud and proud at #5 on The Movie Buff's wish list. Hey, why not get that special someone the set of Walter and The Dude action figures, and a copy of the movie on DVD? (Every home should have one by now, but just in case...) And heck, don't stop there, the 'Flash Gordon' DVD and action figure combo set would look great under that tree too! Better hurry, tho...

In just two days, the first shipment of The Big Lebowski and Flash Gordon action figures will arrive in the port of Los Angeles. After clearing customs, and a few days stuck in L.A. traffic, the first shipments of these action figures will finally arrive at headquarters. In about 10 days or so, we'll start to ship them TO YOU. We sincerely appreciate your patience waiting for 'em!

To Cancel or not to Cancel – that is the question! We have been reading your comments and we sincerely appreciate your support of our brand and your feedback. And now the facts: Entertainment Earth did change the status on the 12inch The Big Lebowski figures to canceled – and it's true for now. These 12-inch figures are a casualty of a basic rule of economics - supply and demand. If the demand is not there, then there can be no supply. Even though everyone loves how the prototypes turned out, and we've had great interest and publicity, pre-sales have not been strong enough to warrant a full production run today. The good news is that this absolutely does NOT change the status of the 8-inch Urban Achiever action figures, which are in production today. Shipping is scheduled for late November. AND there will be Wave 2 of The Big Lebowski 8-Inch Urban Achiever action figures! More details coming soon!

News Flash! The Wall Street Journal of the collector world, Toy Fare Magazine, has given Bif Bang Pow! a nice two page spread in the latest issue to celebrate the imminent release of the 'Flash Gordon' Series 1 figures. On stands now, issue 124 is chock full of all the usual informative pop culture goodness we've come to expect, but it now comes new and improved with a nice little interview with artist and fan extroardinaire Alex Ross, and yours truly. (With a sneak peek at a Series 2 figure!) Finally, all of our secrets are revealed! We talk of the past! The future! And even manage to slip the present in there somewhere. Hard hitting journo and editor Zach Oat asks the questions no one dares to, and nearly makes us cry as the emotions reach fever pitch! And just when you think it can't get any better, the interview expands over at the TF website . Head over right now! Klytus, Barin and more juice than you can hold in a box are waiting for you to soak up. What next for ...
