Lost Action Figures
MCFARLANE TOYS GETS 'LOST'
Six Exclusive Action Figures Coming to Stores This Fall

McFarlane Toys will soon give Lost's legions of fans something new to obsess over. A series of Lost action figures is scheduled to be released late fall, 2006, and is destined to populate office cubicles around the country.

McFarlane Toys' Lost Series 1 captures six fan-favorite characters from the series' first season: Jack, Kate, Locke, Hurley, Charlie and Shannon. Each 6-inch Lost figure will have a detailed base and photographic backdrop, capturing an episode-specific moment in the character's story. In addition, each package will include a detailed prop reproduction central to the character's story, enabling fans to "own" a piece of the show's mythology. For example, Kate's figure will be packaged with a reproduction of the toy airplane that plays so prominently into her backstory. More than just action figures, McFarlane's Lost figures will once again raise the bar for fans and for the industry.

We will also be releasing 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 infamous hatch.

To say that we are VERY excited about this is an understatement.

Charlie 1
Charlie 2

Check out his shoes! Frickin' checkerboard Vans! Sweet!

Any chance of a life sized, fully posable action figure of Kate or Claire?

God I'm a loser.

Hehe that is a pretty cool find. I dont have any friends who still play with action figure but i have a ton of friends who are lost fanatics. I might buy some for small gifts.

McFarlane's action figures aren't really for kids. Example:

Little Red Riding Hood (potentially NSFW)

They're usually pretty cool looking - I have his entire MGS2 series and they're all excellent. The McFarlane's Monsters series are generally pretty good, but the twisted fairy tales (the Red Riding Hood one is from that series) are a bit f'ed up for my tastes.

That Charlie one looks really nice. They should make an Eko one.

it's not much of an action figure. i guess that term is intended to be used loosely:

McFarlane Toys will soon give Lost's legions of fans something new to obsess over. A series of Lost action figures is scheduled to be released late fall, 2006, and is destined to populate office cubicles around the country.

i guess the ultimate goal is to have it as a display piece.
