LOST STARS TO BE TURNED INTO ACTION FIGURES
The stars of hit TV drama LOST are to be turned into action
figures by toymaking giants McFarlane Toys.
In a licensing agreement with Disney-ABC Television Group’s
Touchstone Television, McFarlane Toys will produce a series of
action figures, which will be in stores at the edn of the year
(06).
The first batch of six characters will feature JACK (MATTHEW
FOX), KATE (EVANGELINE LILLY), HURLEY (JORGE GARCIA), LOCKE
(TERRY O’QUINN), CHARLIE (DOMINIC MONAGHAN) and SHANNON (MAGGIE
GRACE).
Each action figure will come complete with a detailed base and
photographic backdrop, capturing an episode-specific moment in
the character’s story.
McFarlane Toys boss TODD McFARLANE recently spent time with the
cast on location in Hawaii, where the desert island drama is
filmed, to develop artistic likenesses of the stars.
He 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.
“In the end, we hope to be able to re-create all of the major
cast members. As the years go by, fans of the show will be able
to collect their own society of Lost characters.” (KL/WN
First action figure of Jack (Matthew Fox) from TV series Lost is the only one available by McFarlane Toys until the rest are produced in July.
