Images just popped up on NECA’s official MySpace page of the upcoming Cult Classics Series 6 line up.   Series 6 features figures from Army of Darkness, Dawn of the Dead and The Lost Boys.

The Lost Boys will have interchangeable Vampire/Human heads and hands and bases. S-Mart Ash will have his cart and rifle and the pricetags – just like the movie.

I first met Charlie Mewshaw, briefly in NY at Toy Fair at the Diamond booth.  He’s a super nice fella and we’re delighted he decided to share his new project with us at AFI.

He is going to be independently releasing his OWN limited run toys in mid-late June. This line is not from big company or a distributor, its really just Charlie, his characters, and the desire to get some people to look at them. The line rolling out this summer is called SaucerNauts.They’re colorful aliens little aliens with 4 points of articulation and interchangable parts.

Each character will be limited to 40 pieces, are hand cast, one of a kind, and hand painted and numbered. Each one will come in a numbered box that matches the number of the figures order in the production run and will be packed in with a hand colored and numbered comic strip. There are 3 characters: Billy, Teddy, and Geoff in the first series, with one additional SaucerNaut, and a mystery character hopefully coming out down the road (fall ideally).

In addition to the standard colors there will be some limited variants introduced throughout each characters run.

 Here are some pictures of the series 1 figures, and Charlie’s got a lot more pics and info for anyone who is interested at http://themewsh.blogspot.com

Support the independants!

Jeffrey "The Dude" Lebowski is a real laid-back kind of guy.  He enjoys "bowling, driving, (and having) the occasional acid flashback."   In the classic film The Big Lebowski, this humble pacifist and his bowling buddies become entangled in a web of embezzlement, supposed kidnapping, and White Russians

You can pick up your pre-paid merchandise at the Entertainment Earth booth beginning when Comic-Con opens on Preview Night—Wednesday July 25, 2007 through 11:00 am on Sunday, July 29, 2007.

This "R" rated talking Dude has a lot to say!   Packaged in a collectible window box, this limited edition resin bobble head is limited to just 1,000 pieces.  The Dude comes dressed for a day of bowling.  He’s even wearing a hair clip to keep his shaggy mane out of his eyes!  

Press the button and he’ll say 8 separate phrases from The Big Lebowski including:

"Nobody calls me Lebowski, you got the wrong guy.  I’m the Dude, man!" 

"He **** on my rug"

"Man, if my ******* ex-wife asked me to take care of her ******* dog while she and her boyfriend went to Honolulu I’d tell her to go **** herself."

"Careful man, there’s a beverage here, hey!"

"Oh, **** me, man!"

"I’m sorry, I wasn’t listening.  Ow!  ******* Fascist.

"Oh, the usual.  Mmm Bowl.  -uh Drive around.  Uh, The occasional acid flashback."

"Yeah well, the Dude abides."

Comes in Window box packaging.
