LOST Ben Linus & Kate Austen 8" Mego Style Action Figures

As it turns out, Series 1 and Series 2 of Bif Bang Pow!’s line of mego-style 8” LOST action figures will both be coming out in August 2010. Series 1 brings you retro versions of the enigmatic Ben Linus in the ragged clothing he wore as a member of The Others, and Kate Austen sporting her usual island wardrobe (sans her trademark freckles).


Both LOST Mego style action figures feature fabric clothing and multiple points of articulation, making these 8 inch Ben and Kate action figures incredibly lifelike. The figures come individually packaged, but can be preordered as a set for $37.99 from Entertainment Earth here. Collectors can expect these highly detailed figures to ship sometime during August 2010.

Ichigo Mama Panya’s Story: Ichigo Mama-Panya is a baker that makes colorful Shiitake Shroom cakes for a living. One day she found a large strawberry on the sidewalk that fell from a tree in front of a wizard's home. She picked it up and hurried back to her bakery to decorate her famous Berry Shroom cake with it.

The cake came alive and told her that what she did was unclean and dirty. Ichigo slapped the ungrateful cake and was about to discard him until he begged her not to. Ichigo thought long and hard about the Berry Shroom's fate until she decided that she could use an extra hand in her bakery.

The Berry Shroom was relieved and got to work immediately. They bonded and shared many secrets. When the Berry Shroom knocked over a jar of flour he sneezed repeatedly. This made his colors change. Ichigo was in shock when she realized her outfit colors changed as well.

Obey Giant: Glass Houses Canvas Screen Print by Shepard Fairey

Thankfully Shepard Fairey has stepped away from his portrait canvas prints to release a design very reminiscent of his earlier propaganda work. The Blot really digs the new "Glass Houses Canvas Print," especially the two quotes on it: “Insert Wise Phrase About Glass Houses” and “The Sky Is Not The Limit.” Back in the day I would have tried to snag one of these, but I’ve pretty much given up trying to get an Obey Giant print the day of its release from their online shop. Talk about a lesson in futility!


The Obey Giant “Glass Houses Canvas Print” by Shepard Fairey goes on sale today, June 24th, at a random time at the Obey Giant online store. This is an 18”x24” signed and numbered screen print with an edition size of 450.
