"We'd like to thank the Academy....."

Well, if this isn't the best way to kick off 2008! The toy fanatics over at the much loved 'Michael Crawford's Review of the Week' have just posted the results of their 2007 Poppies- the awards ceremony like no other. A board of nearly 100 folks from the world of toys (both in front of and behind the scenes) have voted in several different categories the toys and figures they thought were the best of the year. And we here at Bif Bang Pow! are incredibly proud to say we made the list! Not only did we make in into the voting, we took a prize: in the Category of Best Vinyl/Designer Figure, Walter from our 'Big Lebowski' line tied for second place! Don't believe me? Check it out for yourself. Between you and me, I think this beats the great 'Ordinary People' over 'Raging Bull' debate of the '81 Oscars, and is infinitely more significant than the labeling of Radiohead as 'Alternative' at the Grammys several years back. Being the new ...

Ring in the New Year with a New Flash!

Jason Lenzi here with Happy New Year's wishes to all friends of BBP! Now, can you think of a better way to kick off what is sure to be a banner year than to announce our first exclusive for 2008? Me either, so here goes....We here at BBP! Headquarters are extremely proud to announce a Flash Gordon Exclusive: Flash Gordon with black deco and blaster ! Yes, you read that right. Just when you think we can't give more attention to detail, we go and trump you by producing an all new version of our Flash Gordon action figure. A companion piece to our black deco-ed Ming, the new Flash Gordon is in his black lightening bolt shirt, with a different belt and buckle, and even cooler, an all new blaster rifle, modeled right off of the film prop! The good folks at Adventure-Con have nabbed him all to themselves, and he's extremely limited. He's available for pre-order right now, so get over to their site and get one-or two! Here's the link: Adventurecon.com/exclusives.html . ...

Hello everyone, Lenzi here with a super hot holiday tip. Now that all the coolest boys and girls are picking up Bif Bang Pow!'s Big Lebowski and Flash Gordon action figures to pass along to friends and lovers, there's one more super cool action figure that must be had: the Black Robed Ming Variant . That's right, a very limited number of action figures have been made of Ming in his black decoed outfit, and Entertainment Earth is the only place you can go to get 'em. He's as cool as the regular version, but in an even more foul mood. Head on over now to grab whatever's left, and of course, to pick up any last minute gifts from EE before the holidays are over. Why settle for a White Christmas when Ming can bring you a black one?

THEY ARE HERE!

The wait is over. The Big Lebowski action figures wave 1 and Flash Gordon action figures wave 1 have arrived and are now starting to ship worldwide to your favorite store or online retailer - and directly to you. We still can't promise you'll have these figures in time for Christmas, but we think there's a very good chance that you will get them. Thank you for your support and patience! Sorry again for the slight delay - but hey, we think the wait was worth it. Have a Happy Hanukkah, Merry Christmas and Fantastic New Year! Look for MORE exciting announcements soon!

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...

Our elves are working too!

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!
