So here’s the drill again: in ToyFare #152 we took a look at the Lost characters we want to see in Bif Bang Pow!’s new toy line. But as the season wears on there’s bound to be other characters who take prominence and cry out for toys. We’ll be adding to the wish list after every episode. But beware, spoilers below the jump!

DETECTIVE MILES STRAUME

We love Miles and had already pegged him in our initial wish list feature. However, we NEED a Det. Miles figure, because he is the spitting friggin’ image of Agent Tony Chu, the main character of the awesome Image comic book “Chew.” Click the link and check it out for yourself!

CHARLOTTE LEWIS

We would have included Charlotte in the feature, except that she’s very dead. Thank the flash-sidewayses for bringing back many characters we thought were lost (heh) to us. Just no one tell Daniel Faraday when he inevitably resurfaces that Sawyer was able to seal the deal with Charlotte when Dan never was. Awk-ward!

Check back next week for more Lost Wish List Addendum!

That’s a Lost reference, but it isn’t a Lost story…we’re talking Twilight’s Jacob!

Tonner Doll just revealed their upcoming Jacob Black character figure, based on his buff look from the more recent movies. If you’re a toy fan but not a Twilight fan, get used to Jacob actor Taylor Lautner: he’s been hired to play both Mattel’s Max Steel and Hasbro’s Stretch Armstrong!

Hey, if Ryan Reynolds can be Deadpool AND Green Lantern…
