Travel through Time and Space with Doctor Who... and Bif Bang Pow!

Bif Bang Pow! and BBC Worldwide Announce a New Line of Action Figures, Bobble Heads, and Collectibles Based on the Long-Running Sci-Fi Series.

LOS ANGELES, CA - Bif Bang Pow! and BBC Worldwide today announce a new partnership that will bring to market a brand-new line of toys and collectibles based on the incredibly popular television series Doctor Who. The license covers all eras of the show from 1963 through to the present day. Currently aired on BBC America, Doctor Who's latest season delivered BBC America record ratings and reached the top spot on the iTunes TV chart.


One of the most highly sought after licenses from the BBC Worldwide portfolio, the Doctor Who collection from Bif Bang Pow! will feature an array of articulated retro action figures and playsets, along with bobble heads, each embodying that distinctive look and feel of the longest-running sci-fi TV series in the world. The first arrivals are planned for summer 2011, and various fan-demanded Doctor Who themed collectibles such as license plate frames, journals, tin boxes, coasters, magnets, and glassware will materialize as well.


Reminiscent of the best-selling "Mego" style action figures of the 1970s and 1980s, Bif Bang Pow!'s amazing line of Doctor Who action figures will continue a successful partnership with EMCE Toys, the team responsible for bringing that classic style back since 2006. These figures will stand 8-inches tall and include episode-specific fabric clothing, in addition to multiple points of articulation.


For the first time ever, bobble heads of the most popular and recognizable Doctor Who characters are also on their way.


"Bif Bang Pow! is thrilled to bring these brand-new Doctor Who action figures, bobble heads, and collectibles to market," said Jason Lenzi, CEO of Bif Bang Pow! "The Denys Fisher range of 9-inch action figures from the 1970s was never released in the United States, and has become one of the most highly sought after toy lines of the past 40 years. Doctor Who bobble heads have never been made for any market, so we have the opportunity to offer these highly desired products to a whole new fan-base that never had the chance to purchase them before. Personally, I've been waiting for this since 1978, so as The Doctor would say, it's about time!"


Retailers and press can see a selection of Bif Bang Pow!'s upcoming product line at New York Toy Fair, February 13-16, 2011, at booth #4813.

The EMCE Toys brand (pronounced "em-see") was founded to bring playability back to toys. Inspired by the original action figure company, Mego Corp., we strive to craft quality, durable action figures, playsets, and collectibles that recreate the sense of fun that toys were originally made for. Our launch lines are either licensed reproductions of original Mego toys and packaging, or original creations modeled after the classic lines of the 1970s and early 1980s. EMCE is proud to have the active input and cooperation of Marty Abrams, founder of Mego and father of the modern action figure. We hope to continue to honor his legacy with our work. We have also been honored to incorporate the talents of veteran artist Harold Shull, original illustrator of Mego's classic and distinctive packaging from the 1970s. As we continue to extend this kind of inclusion of the original Mego teams, we get closer to our goal of bringing Mego back as a viable toy company in all but name. EMCE was created by veteran pop culture entrepreneur Joe Sena, President of SphereWerx, LLC, and craftsman Paul "Dr. Mego" Clarke.

Will the Real Martian Please Stand up?

Our friends at BifBangPow! noticed a couple of missing figures in our Remego Galleries and generously offered some up photos for updates. Our Twilight Zone Gallery now has a page for the Venusian from "Will the Real Martian Please Stand up?"

Which BBP wants everybody to know is also available for preorder right now at Entertainment Earth.

Also noticeably absent from the ReMego Galleries was Hank Venture, How could we forget half of the titular characters? Sounds like something Hank would do, anyway problem fixed.

Hank is also available for Pre Order in a two pack with Dr Girlfriend from Entertainment Earth.

The Phantom Limb Materializes

Bif Bang Pow! is unveiling their Venture Brothers Series Two prototypes this week at San Diego Comic Con and now we've got shots of Hamilton G. Fantamos AKA Guild Supervillain The Phantom Limb.

This character presented a unique challenge to Bif Bang Pow mostly because his limbs are invisible, while releasing a figure with no limbs would be accurate, I imagine most are happier with this solution.

As always this is a prototype and not the final version but it sure is spiffy.

The Island of Lost Megos celebrates Bif Bang Pow's new "Lost" line and hopes to introduce series fans and toy collectors alike to the addicting pleasures of Mego and more importantly, creating your own custom Lost characters to go along with your BBP figures.

As Scott elaborates in his recent article "Eight Reasons Why It's Awesome They Are Making Lost Megos" there is already a lot of opportunity for custom goodness, so check it out and enjoy.

Venture Brothers Card Art: A Sneak Peak

The good folks at BifBangPow! have given the Megomuseum another early look at their packaging, this time for Henchmen 24 and 21 from the hit series "The Venture Brothers"

If you think they pretty true to the show, it's because show creators Doc Hammer and Jackson Publick jointly designed them, you can't get a better pedigree than that!

Each figure will contain a part of the Helper "Build a Figure" , which really does feel like something Rusty Venture would put together.
