Who are the Thrill Seekers you ask? They're a very rare series of action figures knocking off both Mego's Action Jackson and Evel Knievel. They're also related to other notorious knock offs like Mr. Rock and the Lincoln Monsters. Also, you get to meet Big Bill!

TONIGHT! BIF BANG POW DOCTOR WHO RETROSPECTIVE!
Live at 8:30 PM this Evening. We're launching a new series today "The History of ReMego" speaking about toy lines that tried to rekindle the 8 inch format created by Mego. For our first installment, we've got the president of Bif Bang Pow! Jason Lenzi to talk about their range of Doctor Who action figures.
We talk about the inspiration for the line, it's origins, what was released and of course all the things that didn't get made due to its sadly short tenure.
Please join us in discussion at the MegoMuseum Forums: http://megomuseum.com/community/forum.php

Bif Bang Pow! Announces First and Eleventh Doctor Figures
Doctor Who 1st and 11th Doctor Figures in Tin - Exclusive
:
- Three fan-demanded Doctor Who collectibles in one!
- Convention Exclusive 50th Anniversary Tin Tote.
- Features images that spans 50 unforgettable years of Doctor Who.
- Includes a First Doctor Action Figure and an Eleventh Doctor Action Figure!
- Carry them with you wherever your intergalactic travels take you!
Entertainment Earth Convention Exclusive! The wait is over. Bif Bang Pow! is proud to introduce our First Doctor and Eleventh Doctor 8-inch scale EMCE action figures in an incredible and exclusive way! This Doctor Who 50th Anniversary Tin Tote features plenty of authentic detail and imagery that spans 50 unforgettable years of Doctor Who, from the First Doctor to the Eleventh Doctor to the iconic TARDIS and beyond! The colorful tin box (measuring approximately 8 5/8-inches wide x 6 3/4-inches tall x 4-inches deep) is magnificent enough by itself, but inside you'll find retro-style action figures of William Hartnell's First Doctor and Matt Smith's Eleventh Doctor! The Doctors stand about 8-inches tall and feature real fabric clothing, accessories, and multiple points of articulation. Carry them all with you wherever your intergalactic travels take you!
The First Doctor is easily identified in his fancy buttoned vest, black coat, black-and-white checkered pants, and black shoes, carrying his walking stick. Fans of William Hartnell and the exciting adventures that first brought Doctor Who to the world will welcome him into their collection with open arms!
Matt Smith's popular Eleventh Doctor is dressed in his trademark red bowtie, suspenders, white shirt, dark pants, brown tweed jacket (complete with elbow patches!), and shoes. He brings his Sonic Screwdriver along as an accessory, of course.
Produced by the BBC, Doctor Who is the longest-running sci-fi TV series in the world. The award-winning show presents the adventures of a time traveler known simply as "the Doctor." Along with his companions, this mysterious Time Lord journeys through time and space using his TARDIS, which appears from the outside to be an ordinary police phone booth.

The Tease of Morbius
The MegoMuseum blog just posted this shot of a carded sample of the Morbius figure from the oft delayed second wave of Doctor Who ReMego figures from BifBangPow! Certainly gives us hope they'll soon be in our hands.

Thinkgeek K-9
The Mego Museum did a spotlight on the Thinkgeek Bifbangpow exclusive K-9 figure today. It's the same figure that will come with the Tardis playset but ala cart with a shiny new box.

Bif Bang Pow Unveils their Dalek
In the huge news department, BifBangPow! has put their upcoming Dalek figure for preorder at Entertainment Earth, this is a Dalek scaled for 8 inch Mego like figures. It's retail? $24.99.
A few things are likely a) BBP will do colour variations of these bad boys and b) I will soon have a Dalek problem in my house. Happy to have such problems.

Doctor Who Toyfair 2012
/>Bifbangpow gave Whovians 3 reasons to get excited over this toyfair with the announcement of more villains, more companions and more Doctors for 2012. After the jump we'll go through what makes us giddy...
Doctor Who TARDIS Playset with K-9 Action Figure
Toyfair 2012 brings us a ton of excitement for 2012 starting off with the news of a PLAYSET and companion rolled into one. More pictures after the break....

Bifbangpow Field Major Styre Review
Sontarans are not my favourite Who villains by any stretch but considering they were the third baddy the fourth Doctor faced combined with how amendable they are to the Mego style, Styre was a natural fit. He's also a joy as I'll point out after the jump..

Bifbangpow The Master Photo Review
When the Bifbangpow! Who line was first announced, the one character that fans didn't seem enthusiastic about was the Master. Not that he isn't a great villain, it's probably because more folks prefer it to be the likeness of either actors Roger Delgado or Anthony Ainley.
To defend the character choice, the Peter Pratt version of the Master is the "Mego era" rendition of the character and the one that the Tom Baker Doctor faced the most.
Fans also worried when the original prototype was shown, however I'm happy to report that BifBangPow really poured on the quality here and it's a crazy nice piece. More photos after the jump:

Bifbangpow Cyber Leader Photo Review
Perhaps the figure I most looked forward to is the Cyber Leader from "Revenge of the Cyberman". You can keep your JNT era look, this has always been the ultimate design for me.
It is a look that has also been somewhat under served in terms of merchandise. Product Enterprises never got their 1/6th scale version to market, so I was overjoyed to see this guy in the second wave of BifBangPow Doctor Who. More photos after the jump:

The Doctor is in.....my house
Less than a week after New York Comic Con my parcel from Entertainment Earth has arrived containing the four figures I most looked forward to in 2011. There will be more photos to follow today but I wanted to dedicate this post to the most important figure, the mego era Doctor himself.
The figure itself is joyous and BBP smartly avoided a grinning Doctor (although I guess that leaves room for a future variant) and instead used the grim visage seen in the show's opening credits. His hair gives the appearance of a large head but it's really show accurate.
The figure comes with a hat but I'm sad to report it just doesn't work. Mego fans will likely be able to create a work around or use the hat for Indiana Jones customs.
The figure comes with a beautiful rendition of the Sonic screwdriver, harkening back to the Denys Fisher line.
One thing I noticed from the back of the card is that these puppies are limited to 3,000 each, so if you're sitting on the fence about these this might be a motivator.
Look for more photos of waves 1 and 2 today...

LEELA!
Wave 2 will give us Megoheads and Doctor Who Collectors in general something they are generally lacking, figures of the companions starting with Leela.
This is a great throwback to Mego history seeing as Leela was the first Who companion to get an action figure way back in 1977. Could Sarah Jane be far behind? How about a Romana two pack? We live in exciting times Mego-Who-Heads!
Skaroth and Sutekh for Wave Two
Just some shots via Megomuseum from the floor of SDCC as we can see two of the more memorable foes from "Pyramids of Mars" and "City of Death" look phenomenal in Mego format.

The Fourth Doctor
The first Doctor in the Bif Bang Pow series of Doctor Who figures (and hopefully not the last) is fan favourite fourth Doctor, Tom Baker. He comes adorned in his early garb, complete with trademark scarf, sonic screwdriver and fedora.
The Master
The Peter Pratt version of the Master from the "Deadly Asassin" is in the first wave of Bif Bang Pow Doctor Who figures and rightfully so, this version of the Master tangled with the fourth Doctor on two different occasions. Could a Roger Delgado Master be in the works? One can only hope!
Like all of these figures, the final release is subject to change based on licensor approval.
Field Major Styre the Sontaran
BifBangPow! has revealed shots of their second figure in the new Doctor Who Series, this being Field Major Styre from the episode "The Sontaran Experiment". The five fingered Styre comes with his blaster and the patented Sontaran Helmet which is of course, removable.
Like all these shots, these figures are subject to change depending on licensor approval.
Cyberleader
Straight out of the fourth Doctor Adventure "Revenge of the Cybermen" comes the Cyber Leader along with the Cyber Mat used to spread the virus at Nerva Beacon. He is now available for pre order at Entertainment Earth
It's a pretty easy guess that we'll be getting a regular Cyberman down the line from BifBangPow, oh the army I'm going to build....
