Mcfarlane Toys Gets "Lost"...

[via press release from ABC]

McFARLANE TOYS GETS �LOST��

ANNOUNCES EXCLUSIVE ACTION FIGURE LINE INSPIRED BY ABC/TOUCHSTONE�S HIT SERIES �LOST�

In a licensing agreement with Disney-ABC Television Group�s 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 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.

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 can�t 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 show�s loyal viewers a compelling line of collectibles that captures the series� intricacy, depth and appeal.�

The band of friends, family, enemies and strangers has become reluctant heroes who must work together against the cruel weather and harsh terrain if they want to stay alive. Danger and mystery loom behind every corner on the island, and those they thought could be trusted may turn against them. Even heroes have secrets.
