Action figures

From Lostpedia

(Redirected from Figurines)

The Lost action figures are officially-licensed merchandise created by McFarlane Toys.

The figures are approximately 6 inches tall and have a recommended retail price of $15 to $20 USD. They each capture an episode-specific moment from the show, with a detailed base and photographic backdrop and also come with a life-sized detailed reproduction of a prop that is central to the character’s story, such as Kate's toy airplane. The realism of the action figures was achieved through both scanning the faces and videotaping the bodies of the actual Lost cast members.^{[source needed]} The backdrops are being dropped for the second series. ^{[source needed]}

The action figures and Todd McFarlane are featured in a bonus track, "Cast In Clay: The Toys of Todd McFarlane", on disc 7 of Lost: The Complete Third Season (DVD).

Other officially-licensed Lost action figures have been produced by Medicom and Sideshow Collectibles.

History

The McFarlane Toys Series 1, currently in stores (as of December 2007), consists of Jack, Kate, Locke, Hurley, Charlie, Shannon and box set of the opening of the Hatch. These first action figures were announced on May 23, 2006, and were released in November 2006, to coincide with the beginning of the broadcast of Season 3. [1]

Series 2, released in July 2007 [2] and currently in stores (as of December 2007), consists of Sawyer, Eko, Sun and Jin. The series originally also included Sayid, Desmond, and a crash site boxset, but were postponed and intended for series 3, before being canceled entirely.

Series 3 [3], was due to be released to coincide with Season 4 in early 2008 [4], and was set to include Sayid, Desmond, Claire and Ben, and a boxed set of the plane crash. However, due to poor sales of the previous series these figures were never released ^{[source needed]}.

Other characters planned for future series included Michael, Walt, Boone, Ana Lucia, Libby and Ethan.[5]

Series 3

The third series was set to be released to coincide with the season 4 premier in January 2008. However poor sales of the second series resulted in the cancellation of the entire line and was announced on the McFarlane message boards. A petition has been started by the Spawn Message Board, (http://www.petitiononline.com/mod_perl/signed.cgi?ab342ak3), to try and help persuade McFarlane Toys to release the third series.

The following four figures had been planned:

Sayid

In "Cast In Clay: The Toys of Todd McFarlane", a special feature on the Season 3 DVDs a sketch was shown for the Sayid figure. It showed him with one of the three antennas used in The Moth. Sayid was originally scheduled for series 2.

Desmond

The Desmond figure has him wearing a DHARMA suit and peeking out the Swan door. Desmond was originally scheduled for series 2.

Claire

The Claire figure would have also featured Aaron.

On the "Cast in Clay" featurette on the Season 3 DVD, you can spot a very quick glimpse of Claire at the end (or at least a concept drawing). She is standing with Aaron and to her right you can see the crib that Locke made for the baby.

Ben

The Ben figure was set to have him tied up in the Hatch.

Plane Crash

A miniature boxed set of the plane crash was also scheduled to be released with this set, much like the previous Hatch boxed set.

Other action figures

Highly Flammable Toys

In 2006, Highly Flammable Toys, a small company specializing in custom-made action figures made a figure of Leslie Arzt for the actor Daniel Roebuck. He approved of it, as did a Lost producer who also ordered one. It came with a plastic cover along with a backing card carrying a biography and the warning: "You may get some ARZT on you". The price for a custom-made action figure (as quoted on the company's website) is US$599.

Later as a joke, Highly Flammable Toys made a second Arzt action figure which consisted of red paint all over the box, representing Dr. Leslie Arzt blowing up in Exodus: Part 2.

Sideshow Collectibles

In 2008, Sideshow Collectibles, a California-based designer toy and collectible studio, released a "highly-articulated" 12-inch Jack figure. Each figure comes with detailed replica clothing (made with real fabric), display base, and retails for US$99.

Medicom Lost Kubricks

Medicom will release a series of "Kubricks" in August. The first wave consists of Locke, Jack, Kate, Sawyer, Sayid, Charlie and Hurley. Furthermore there will be Kubrick/Be@rbrick two pack with an exclusive Jack Shephard in his Suit Kubrick and a Lost Be@rbrick. There will also be a 100% Lost Be@rbrick and a 400% all white Dharma Swan Station Be@rbrick.

Unofficial Series

After McFarlane toys announced that the series would be canceled, a few fans got together and hired a sculptor to continue to produce figures in a limited run in the same size and style as the McFarlane ones. The first series will contain Juliet and Daniel, with the second series likely to consist of Desmond and Ben. The figures are unpainted and unpackaged to keep costs minimal and come with a simple base to pose them. They can be ordered from these forums.
