Update: The figures will talk!!!
| Quote: |
Regardless of who is killed next on "Lost," six of the original cast are achieving immortality: McFarlane Toys is creating action figures in the forms of characters Jack, Kate, Hurley, Locke, Charlie and Shannon.
The 6-inch-tall collectibles will come with a detailed base, a photographic backdrop representing a specific episode and a prop reproduction central to that character's history. The term "action figure" is relative; they'll have "limited articulation," meaning the limbs will move, but not much. They will, however, talk.
Using sound-chip technology, Charlie (the heroin-addict, rock guitarist) will say, "Guys ... where are we?" and "You don't know me? I'm a bloody rock god!" He'll also sing a line from a song by Driveshaft, his band. |
Read the whole artcile here:

WOW....they made him look sexier than he really was...
I really hope the others are as good as that. Usually action figures don't really look good, but this one looks fantastic.  _________________

Yes, quite true, but the Locke figure looks a lot like Terry, doesn't it?  _________________

Some people look better as action figures than other...Locke and Charlie are awesome. The Hurley one's pretty good. Jack's good apart from the hair. But Kate and Shannon... I think people's faces are easier to turn into action figures if they have more wrinkles and lines, and the girls don't have many.
Even if Shannon did look like herself...they couldn't pick a better scene with her? That's kinda sad.
Hatch set looks cool.  _________________

I hope the figures will turn out to look this good once they're the mass-production version. I've been burned before by ordering a set based on AMAZING pre-production stills only to end up with actual figures that looked sloppy, cheap and nothing like what I'd ordered! Grrrrrrrrr... It's really frustrating when that happens!
However, I agree these look really nice (although Kate doesn't look much like Evi, unfortunately). But Locke is dead-on for Terry! w00t! And gee, do you think it was a guy who decided what sort of "action" figure Shannon needed to be represented as, lol?  |

As far as I know, the next Lost figures will be available really soon. I read about it somewhere on the internet. The next figures will include Desmond and Sawyer! W00t!!!  _________________
