'Lost' TV Show Getting Action Figures
Major Characters Posed In Recognizable Scenes
POSTED: Thursday, June 1, 2006
HONOLULU -- Now you can stage your own conspiracy theory of the hit show "Lost" in your own home.
McFarlane Toys is creating 6-inch tall action figures based on the characters of the Emmy-winning drama.
Pictured on the McFarlane Web site is only one prototype -- of Charlie, played by Dominic Monaghan. That figure, along with Jack (Matthew Fox), Kate (Evageline Lilly), Hurley (Jorge Garcia), Locke (Terry O'Quinn) and Shannon (Maggie Grace) will be in the first wave of figures in November.
Fans of Josh Holloway's bad boy character Sawyer will have to wait until next spring.
The figures will also come with sound.
The Charlie figure, for example, will say, "You don't know me? I'm a bloody rock god!" He also sings a line from a song by his band, Driveshaft.
According to McFarlane's Web site, each figure will have a detailed base and photographic backdrop, capturing an episode-specific moment in the character's story.
Since her character is dead, why bother with Shannon?
A McFarlane Toys spokesperson said it's because they wanted to start with the beginning of the show -- plus Shannon will be in a bikini.
The hatch will also be for sale.
