McFARLANE TOYS GETS LOST
ANNOUNCES EXCLUSIVE ACTION FIGURE LINE INSPIRED BY ABC/TOUCHSTONES HIT SERIES LOST
In a licensing agreement with Disney-ABC Television Groups Touchstone Television, McFarlane Toys will produce a series of action figures based on the popular television drama Lost.
Slated to be in stores in late fall, McFarlane Toys Lost Series 1 captures six compelling characters from the series first season: Jack, Kate, Hurley, Locke, Charlie and Shannon. Each 6-inch Lost action figure will come complete with a detailed base and photographic backdrop, capturing an episode-specific moment in the characters story. In addition, each package will include a detailed prop reproduction, central to the characters story, enabling fans to own a piece of the shows mythology.
McFarlane Toys will also release Lost deluxe boxed sets re-creating key moments between multiple characters, and small-scale dioramas replicating central locations such as the mysterious island and the famous hatch.
McFarlane Toys CEO Todd McFarlane who spent time with the Lost cast principals in Hawaii, where the series is filmed, says: All of the key cast members were kind enough to allow me to scan their facial likenesses so we can make the figures as realistic as possible. We now have the data, which will allow us to be more accurate than any toy company in this country could be. In visiting the set, we were able to take enough reference photography to ensure that the environment for each of the figures represents what the viewer has seen on TV.
In the end, we hope to be able to do all of the major cast members, says McFarlane. As the years go by, fans of the show will be able to collect their own society of Lost characters.
With its unique cast of characters and detailed fantastical storylines, Lost has fostered a passionate fan base that just cant get enough, says Bruce Gersh, senior vice president, Business Development, ABC Entertainment and Touchstone Television. We are excited to team with Todd McFarlane and McFarlane Toys to offer the shows loyal viewers a compelling line of collectibles that captures the series intricacy, depth and appeal.
