Flash Gordon Is Back!

by Jim Keefe

After a four year hiatus, Bif Bang Pow! plans to return to Mongo in 2015!  With a new license from King Features Syndicate, the Los Angeles-based company will produce a series of brand-new products and collectibles from the 1980s sci-fi cult-classic film Flash Gordon.

Bif Bang Pow! is already working on new Flash Gordon action figures and collectibles to add to its ever-expanding lineup of iconic branded products. Bif Bang Pow! will debut the first-ever line of 3 3/4-inch movie action figures to include Flash Gordon, the dreaded Ming the Merciless, Dale Arden, Prince Baron, Dr. Zarkov, and other popular characters from the film. In addition to new “retro” scale action figures (and possibly even vehicles this go ’round!), Bif Bang Pow! will add prop replicas, journals, tin lunch boxes, drinkware, license plate frames, and more to the Flash Gordon line of collectibles.

Look for merchandise to hit the marketplace initially in early 2015. The entire Flash Gordon movie line will be exclusively distributed through EE Distribution, a division of Entertainment Earth, Inc., and sold direct to consumers at www.entertainmentearth.com and other fine specialty retailers.
