Lost Action Figures
The impending conclusion of the hit TV series Lost has fueled demand for Lost action figures among collectors. The series, which debuted in 2004, became an immediate ratings success as audiences tuned in week after week eagerly awaiting answers to the many mysteries posed by the series. Lost revolves around the survivors of a plane crash, who are marooned on a distant tropical island, and find themselves confronting its many enigmas as well as their own pasts. The series has also become a cultural phenomenon as references to Lost constantly pop up on other TV shows.
MacFarlane Toys currently holds the Lost license and has released two series of Lost action figures. The first series features the characters Jack, Kate, Locke, Hurley, Shannon and Charlie, as well as a boxed set of the mysterious Hatch. Each figure stands 6-1/2”, with a display base and photographic backdrop, and captures a character’s episode-specific moment from the first season. The Kate figure features articulation at the waist and has a jungle base complete with detachable reeds that measure 8 inches high. The set also comes with a full-sized prop replica of Kate’s toy plane. The Hurley figure stands 7-1/2” inches high and stands on an “Island Open” base with a makeshift flag that measures ten inches in height. The set also comes with a mountain backdrop and a reproduction of Hurley’s winning lottery ticket.
The Hatch Boxed set is ideal for displaying alongside your individual Lost action figures. The set features Jack and Locke kneeling before the Hatch, with Hurley and Kate standing by. The base is composed of three interlocking pieces, with a light up feature that makes the open Hatch glow from inside. The base is 5-1/2” high and 10-1/2” wide while the accompanying figures are 3-1/2” inches. The set also comes with a backdrop featuring nighttime tropical scenery.
The second series features Mr. Eco, Jin, Sun and Sawyer. The Mr. Eco figure is shown carrying a club and comes with a rocky beach base with detachable plants. The prop replica included with the set is a reproduction of the DHARMA orientation film frame. The Sun figure shows the character dressed in a bikini, signifying the freedom she now feels as she discovers her independence. The figure comes with a detachable towel and also has a rocky beach base, which plays sound clips from the show. The prop that comes with the set is a full-size replica of Sun’s boarding pass sleeve.
