Generally acclaimed and a popular success, Lost garnered an average of 16,000,000 viewers per episode on ABC during its first year. It has won numerous industry awards including the Emmy Award for outstanding Drama Series in 2005, Best Yank Import at the Brit Academy TV Awards in 2005, the Golden Globe for Best Drama in 2006 and a Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Ensemble in a Drama Series. Reflecting its devoted fan base, the series has become a part of Yankee popular culture with references to the story and its elements appearing in other TV series, commercials, comic books, webcomics, humor mags, a Playstation game and song words. The show's fictional universe has been explored through tie-in novels, board and video games, and alternative reality games, The Lost Experience and Find 815.

A particularly detailed figure form MacFarlane toys.

The base is Polyresin and its heavy and feels solid. I believe the number is some type of plastic but it looks and feels good and not "plasticky" in any way.

The flag looks great and the final appearance is extremely Hurley. The background is card and has half finished back, so it doesn't look good on a ledge where you can view from both sides. The card is mounted on plastic supports that attaches to the base. I'd counsel care when assembling. The audio part is a black box that attaches to the base too through the plastic support and this is behind the background card. Wants 2 AAs if I remember it right. There's a little push button that triggers the voice and there are three dialogs that play alternately. Attaching the figure to the base was tricky as the attach points aren't proprly aligned. I broke the polyresin peg while attempting to remove and reattach. Thats the sole gripe I have about the product. Allow me to start off by announcing there aren't enough bald action figures in this world and that almost all of what are out there are basketball players. Here we have John Locke from the ABC TV series "Lost," played by Terry O'Quinn, having a look at the door of the hatch first discovered at the end of "All the Best Cowboys Have Father Issues," but potentially representing the excavation Locke and Boone did in the next episode, "Whatever the Case May Be." The character of Locke has the same name as the English thinker who developed his social contract idea as an alternative choice to the Hobbesian state of nature. Since the show also has ( Danielle ) Rousseau and ( Desmond ) David Hume, there's manifestly some kind of dialectic developing with these characters that may only be appreciated by doctoral scholars in epistemology ( I love the thought of philosophy professors having this Locke figure in their office someplace ). The sculpt of O'Quinn's face is one of the finest that McFarlane has turned out to date.

The figure only has 3 points of articulation : the neck and halfway on the higher arm ( right below the shift sleeves ). There are a lot of fascinating chances for posing the head but rather limited options with the arms. In his left hand Locke has a water bottle and in his right one of his many knives ; both are bound to the figure's hands by those tiny strips of plastic McFarlane likes to use ( but the knife slips out pretty simply, so watch it ).

My only real complaint is that there were no instructions on the best way to put the jungle background behind the figure of Locke. First off I should point out that what you see on the box ( and somewhere else ) showing a flat background with a green piece of plastic running along the top isn't what you get here.

The background is now curved, giving more of a diorama look. The 2 long black pieces of plastic are the vertical supports and the 2 rather curved ones are the top and bottom ( the one with the spikes jutting out is the bottom ). You've got to take away the 3 small plugs ( though you just need 2 ).

The vertical pieces go into the front of the bottom and the back of the top ; then you slide the jungle background into place and put the 2 slots into the small punctured holes in the background and then slide all of it into place against the base. It appears difficult but if I will do it, then you can too ( but instructions would be nice ). Together with the figure and the base there's a full-scale copy of Locke's Walkabout Leaflet Cover ( "Fair Dinkum Deals ) and a little black box with authentic sound clips of Locke saying stuff like "Do you wanna know a secret?" and "Don't let me know what I won't do! Ever!" The sound box is like 3 inches square and it takes some time for someone like me to get the screw undone to put in the batteries to punch the tiny button and hear the sound clips. You don't put the base on top of the sound box because then you can't push the wizardry button, but after hearing the sound clips 2 time what happens to the box won't matter.

Also combined in the "LOST" Series one set of figures form McFarlane are Kate, Jack, Charlie, Hurley, and Shannon, as well as a luxury mini-diorama boxed set ( with light-up feature ). I will understand getting the entire collection, but why you would desire enough batteries to run all the sound boxes concurrently is beyond my understanding.

Lost is a Yankee serial drama TV series. It follows the lives of airplane crash survivors on a confusing tropical island, after a commercial passenger jet flying between Sydney, Australia, and los angeles, united states, crashes somewhere in the South Pacific. Each episode generally features a first storyline on the island as well as a secondary storyline from another point in a personality's life, though other time-related plot devices change this formula in later episodes. The pilot episode was first broadcast on September 22, 2004, and since that point five full seasons have aired. The show airs on the ABC Network in the united states, as well as on regional networks in several other nations.

Lost will conclude in its 6th season with its 121st and final episode airing in May 2010. Season 6 will consist of eighteen episodes. Episodes from the first four seasons of the series have begun airing in off-network syndication in the US, distributed by Disney-ABC Domestic TV, on G4 and Syfy.

Due to its large ensemble cast and the cost of filming primarily on location in Oahu, Hawaii, the series is one of the most costly on TV. It was created by Damon Lindelof, J. J. Abrams and Jeffrey Lieber and is produced by ABC lofts, Bad Robot Productions and Grass Skirt Productions. The score is composed by Michael Giacchino. This executives are Lindelof, Abrams, Bryan Burk, Jack Bender, Edward Kitsis, Adam Horowitz and Carlton Cuse.
