We live in tough times… it’s a fact. Awesome figures are few and far between, so manufacturers are looking for new ways to up the wow factor on their releases and exploring the possibilities for funding dream projects. Kickstarter; a website dedicated to helping folks fund all manor of projects, has already inspired more than a couple of grass roots movements to bring new plastics to the toy loving masses. Bif Bang Pow want to give you the Venture Brothers action figures we’ve been moaning for, but we need to pre-order online to make it happen!

Bif Bang Pow! presents a truly awesome array of never-before-made 3 3/4-inch action figures based on Adult Swim’s extremely popular animated series The Venture Bros. These fan-demanded figures are crafted of PVC plastic, feature 10 points of articulation, and come with character-specific accessories. You’ll want every one of them in your toy box or Venture Bros. collection!

The new Venture Bros. 3 3/4-inch action figure line is a massive pursuit, so Bif Bang Pow! is teaming up with Entertainment Earth and EE Distribution in order to make this project happen.

Your pre-order for these characters has never been more important! We need to hit a certain number of pre-orders before production can begin and that’s where you come in! Pre-order the figures from this list or ask your favorite comic and toy shops to order the figures for their store. Your credit card will not be charged until the figures arrive in 2012– provided we meet the order goal– and then you’ll be able to have been a part of Venture Industries history!

All orders must be placed by November 30, 2011. At this time we’ll tally our orders and we will make an announcement on how the line will proceed as soon as possible.

Go Team Venture!

Jason Lenzi of Bif Bang Pow added “Believe me, we want these action figures on our shelves more than anyone, but the hard truth is, this particular Venture is a tough one. The show has always been less mainstream, and it’s fans are proud of that, but that doesn’t necessarily translate into automatic sales. This is the best way I can think of to truly vote with your Geek Power. Thank you for the support you’ve shown for all of our VB products, and now we have the chance to create a slice of Venture Brothers awesomeness that will kick out the teeth of all those other 3 and 3 quarter inch figure lines. Brock Vs snake themed terrorists? No contest. Henchman 21 Vs aliens in robes with laser swords? Bring it. Let’s make these figures happen!”

Entertainment Earth currently have pre-orders up for Hank, Dean, Dr. Venture, Brock Samson, The Monarch, Dr. Mrs. The Monarch and Phantom Limb, all scheduled for delivery in August of 2012… if all goes to according to plan! Be sure to spread the word about this Venture Bros. toy line and share this article with friends!

Released at San Diego Comic-Con is the new wave of Venture Bros. action figures by Bif Bang Pow. Figures include Dr. Orpheus, Phantom Limb, Dr. Girlfriend and Hank Venture. Also released is the Rusty Venture action figure set and lunch box. All figures are fully articulated and come with fabric clothing and some accessories. Action figures are limited edition and are individually carded in blister packaging.

Like the previous year, we couldn’t resist opening these figures! Here is what we have learned about Bif Bang Pow’s 8 inch action figures and our thoughts on the retro style series.

The Rusty Venture action figure set is this year convention exclusive. The set (Series 6) includes young Rusty Venture and Dr. Jonas Venture Sr. packaged in a limited edition lunch box. The lunch box is standard size and features full color artwork by Stephen DeStefano and Liz Artinian. The figures themselves are highly detailed and come with a few character accessories; Rusty sports a removable backpack and Doc Venture has goggles and the mythical ORB.

Dr. Orpheus (Series 5) is faithfully sculpted and fashioned with layers of clothing, including his magical talisman. Orpheus’ cloak is black with gold piping and purple lining; Cloak also features the Triad insignia on the back. His pinstripe tights are fastened with an elastic band over the heels. Orpheus’ left hand is posed and ready for magic, a unique feature on this figure.

Here’s a tip, fold the collar of Orpheus’ cloak for that authentic show look. See example.

Phantom limb (Series 5) is fitted in purple spandex and his arms, legs and torso are made from a translucent plastic. Bif Bang Pow says the inspiration behind this figure was the ‘Henshin Cyborg’ toy line of the late ’70s, a concept that works well for this figure. The clear limbs gives the illusion that he’s partially invisible and allows for the figure can stand on it’s own.

Dr. Girlfriend (Series 4) is the first female figure being released in the toy line. She is fashioned in her classic pink dress and pillbox hat. Her removable boots are molded similar to Mego’s WGSH toy line. Opening the figure’s dress reveals extra padding along the abdomen and buttocks for better shape. And just in case you were wondering, Dr. Girlfriend has pink underwear that is painted on the figure.

Hank Venture (Series 4) is the other half of the Venture Brothers! An essential part of Team Venture, Hank is dressed in classic attire and comes with a satellite navigational wrist watch. Comparing Hank and Dean side by side, we noticed that Hank has a better flesh tone and his head is a bit firmer than Dean. Both have the same body type and look great together. We are delighted they are finally reunited in the toy range!

To truly appreciate these figures, you have to free them from the blister packaging. Each figure is full of detail and faithful to the show. Bif Bang Pow did a remarkable job tailoring each figure, especially with Dr. Orpheus and Jonas Venture Sr., who both had multiple layers of fabric clothing. The head sculpts are accurate and the paint job is clean. Among the figures released, Dr. Orpheus and Phantom Limb are our favorite. We love the attention to detail with Dr. Orpheus and Phantom Limb’s transparent parts are both fun and innovative. Bif Bang Pow’s new wave of action figures are an impressive lot and a must for any Venture Brothers collection!

Sideshow artisans are renowned sculptors, experienced model makers, painters and costumers whose combined efforts result in the creation of outstanding original designs and intricately detailed likenesses of pop culture icons, including film and television monsters, villains, heroes, mystical creatures of fantasy, and legendary figures from history.

Last August, Sideshow Collectibles acquired the license to produce 12″ Venture Bros. polystone statues. Brock Samson and Molotov Cocktease have been revealed online and are now available for pre-order. The team at Sideshow Collectibles are huge fans of the animated series and say that it’s a great property to work on.

We talk with Jon Rasmussen, Product Coordinator at Sideshow Collectibles about the Venture Bros. statues on exhibit and what fans can look forward to from figure line in the future.

Venture Bros. Blog: Tell us about Sideshow’s Venture Bros. statue line?

Jon Rasmussen: Doc Hammer worked directly with us on poses and expression and how it’s suppose go altogether. It was really cool because unlike other licenses, who have someone who they hire, we were able to collaborate with him on the design. We sent him pictures and he made suggestions on the sculpts and worked with us the whole way through.

VBB: Awesome, it’s good to know that creators themselves are involved in the process.

VBB: Revealed online and exhibited here at Comic-Con, the Brock Samson & Molotov Cocktease polystone statues. What can you tell me about these?

JR: Brock and Molotov are currently available for pre-order and they ship in the third (Brock) and fourth quarter (Molotov).

VBB: Can you give us a specific release date?

JR: Unfortunately not. Because when we deal with the factory, it’s when they can complete the total run. Third quarter is a rough release date.

VBB: Teased along with the Brock and Molotov statues are silhouettes of upcoming sculpts, which appears to be Dr. Venture with H.E.L.P.eR. and the Venture Brothers. When will these sculptures be revealed?

JR: I believe the Venture Bros. are next to be revealed and they are currently in sculpt.

VBB: Why did Sideshow start with Molotov Cocktease? Why not a more popular character like the Monarch?

JR: Molotov is just a great companion piece. We wanted to launch the line with a statue you can display with Brock and go into the brothers from there. After Dr. Venture, we imagine statues of Monarch, Dr. Girlfriend and obviously the Henchmen.

VBB: The base of the statues are logos from the show. Brock is standing on the Venture Bros. skull logo and Molotov is on the Black Hearts logo. Was this an idea you guys wanted to do from the very beginning?

JR: When we were first conceptualizing the designs, we were planning on giving them a standard Venture logo base and we were gonna do it with all of them. And then we just really started getting into characters and giving them more character specific bases. The Venture Bros. will come on a large Venture Industries logo and they’ll be in their ‘Go Team Venture’ pose. And I haven’t seen the base design for Dr. Venture sculpt, but I know he’s sitting down and H.E.L.P.eR. is tending to him.

VBB: A sculpt we would love to see is Brock from the Joy Can episode (Eeney Meeney Miney… Magic). Imagine Brock Samson on a giant pile dead ninjas and dinosaurs. That would be a great statue!

JR: Yes! Brock Samson is definitely our favorite. He’s the A character in the whole line. I guarantee you this won’t be the only Brock Samson statue we do.

VBB: We at the Venture Bros. Blog hear that the creative team are big fans of the show and were eager to work with this property. Could you tell us how you and the crew were introduced to the series?

JR: We’re big Adult Swim fans. The moment the Venture Bros. aired it had that old school Johnny Quest, Hanna-Barbera feel to it. It was just a great show we all got into. We would actually get together and watch the show. We’ve loved the show from the beginning and have been watching ever since.

VBB: What would be Sideshow Collectibles’ favorite Venture Bros. episode?

JR: It would have to be episode one (Dia de los Dangerous!). Brock is so badass in that one. Monarch henchmen hit him with a truck and he slaughters them in the end. From there it was just golden television.

VBB: With the Venture Bros. and Dr. Venture on the horizon, what else can fans expects from Sideshow Collectibles?

JR: We are hoping to hit everything. It’s a vast world for the Venture Bros., the property has a lot of characters. It may take us a a while to get there, but we would love to touch all the characters, including Sgt. Hatred.

VBB: We are very excited about Sideshow’s statue line and can not wait for new sculpts!

Brock Samson and Molotov Cocktease are currently available for pre-order. The Brock Samson statue depicts the Swedish Murder Machine in outstanding detail, down to his trademark mullet. The Molotov Cocktease statue captures every curve of the Russian beauty. Each statue is crafted in 1:5 scale, each piece is individually painted and finished and each with its own unique quality and detail.

These statues are an outstanding addition to any Venture Bros. collection! Pre-order them today!

Special thanks to Jon Rasmussen and Marissa Black of Sideshow Collectibles.
