Some things happen only once in a lifetime, but me interviewing Jason Lenzi is more of a monthly occurrence apparently. After all the hoopla surrounding the new Venture Bros. figures he's toiled over to bring us, Jason contacted me with the desire to set the record straight as well as explain a few things that people might not quite understand. He asked, so then I asked, and he answered. It's informative and maybe it will even put some minds at ease.
To be frank we're all very pleased with our sculpts, Jackson especially, so there will be minor tweaks here and there to the heads. But the outfits and accessories are all going to change: materials, colors, lengths, tightness, etc, etc, etc. Not to beat the proverbial dead horse, but people need to understand that we (again, that's all of us involved in this process) very much wanted to have physical specimens to show in time for NY Toy Fair, to show to the world, fans, and retailers. It's always better than not having anything at all.

Head on over to the BifBangPow! store on Entertainment Earth to pre-order the new Venture Bros. figures. The two sets available are a Dr. Venture and Brock set and The Monarch and Dean set. Each set is $37.99 and set to be shipped out in August. No word on any accessories or anything else like that, but stay tuned!

For the next couple of days I'll be posting any galleries and photos of the new Venture toys that find their way to me. So if you have any feel free to stick them in the comments and I'll add them.

Seeing as how I should have checked there in the first place, Mego Museum has looks at what seem to be most of the promised figures (no Hank or Dr. Girlfriend):
More when they show up! Thanks to everyone who pointed these out!
As some of you may or may not know, Toy Fair 2010 is currently underway in New York for the next four days (show runs from the 14th until the 17th). Among other stuff the Bif Bang Pow! guys along with their partner for this particular venture (teehee), EMCE Toys, are showcasing their new MEGO-style Venture Bros. toys. A few random shots have trickled in, and I'll have more (hopefully high-quality ones) as they appear. Until then enjoy these shots. Click on them to see the larger version at their origin.

Ken Plume's FRED has another, more varied look at the new line of Venture Bros. action figures. This time we have classic 21's head, complete with paint. More heads as they become available!

Until March 1st, Deep Discount DVD has each season of Venture Bros. on sale for only $15.98. So for those of you without the DVDs, still, for whatever reason, that's a pretty sweet deal. On top of that the season three Blu-Ray version is also on sale for a measly $26.98, so if you were waiting to grab that for whatever reason, here's your chance. There are also a ton of other Adult Swim DVDs on sale as well, should they strike your fancy.

Jackson has a teaser of sorts for the upcoming Venture Bros. figures. It's what appears to potentially be a prototype version of the back of maybe Dr. Venture's head. Not much more to say about that I guess, so head over for a peek.
