This awesome tidbit came down the news pipeline to us at BSR today!! The company Bif! Bang! Pow! Will be creating bobble heads, action figures, and vehicles!!
Bif Bang Pow! and Cartoon Network Enterprises, the licensing and merchandising arm of Adult Swim, blast off for action with today’s partnership announcement that will bring to market a brand-new line of toys based on the popular animated series The Venture Bros. One of the most highly sought after product lines from Adult Swim’s library, The Venture Bros. collection from Big Bang Pow! will feature an array of articulated action figures, bobble heads, and vehicles, each embodying that distinctive action-comedy mix that has become synonymous with the series.
First to be released from the line is a series of 7-inch scale resin bobble heads targeted for spring 2010. Action figures are scheduled to hit the market in the summer of 2010. These fully-articulated figures will include the series most popular and recognizable characters including Dr. Venture, The Monarch, Brock Samson, Hank & Dean Venture and more. Several exclusives are also in the works. More detailed information about the products will be made available in the coming weeks.
“We’ve been courting The Venture Brothers for quite some time now, and we’re beyond excited to finally bring fans what they want: a range of fully articulated action figures and bobble heads,” said Jason Lenzi, CEO of Bif Bang Pow! “With the ever-expanding cast of characters in the Venture universe, the possibilities are endless. And, as always with Bif Bang Pow!, expect the unexpected!”
“A toy line based on The Venture Bros. has been a long time coming but we now have the ideal partner on board to bring these characters to life,” said Christina Miller, senior vice president, CNE. “With their distinct style and love for the series, the team at Bif Bang Pow! has created an impressive line that will excite our fans and meet their discerning tastes.”
The Venture Bros. creator Jackson Publick, who has been working closely with Bif Bang Pow! on the planning and creation of the toy line, adds, “Finally. It’s about time someone made some action figures based on the show. This is going to be great!”
This bot will have to buy the Doctor Venture, it’s the closest I’ll get to a J.G. Thirlwell figure.
