The folks over at Bif Bang Pow! send in this press release announcing that they have picked up the rights to the 1998 feature film, The Big Lebowski...
For the first time ever, The Dude is coming to toy stores! Bif Bang Pow! has signed an agreement with Universal Studios Consumer Products Group to create collectible action figures based on the 1998 hit film, The Big Lebowski. These 7-inch scale action figures of The Dude (Jeff Bridges) and Walter (John Goodman) are currently in development, and will be the first products to ship from Bif Bang Pow!. Figures are scheduled to arrive in stores this holiday season.
“We’re very proud to be working with Universal Studios to produce figures based on one of the finest movies from the Coen Brothers,” said Jason Lenzi, president and founder of Bif Bang Pow! “It’s great to be able to offer figures with the kind of attention to detail I’ve always wanted since seeing the movie. Between Walter’s gun, The Dude’s White Russians, and the rug, we’re aiming to give fans everything we can, and then some. We can’t wait for achievers worldwide to get their hands on their favorites.”
“I’m thrilled to see The Dude and Walter in plastic, and even more thrilled to reveal prototypes from this line at our Comic-Con International booth this July in San Diego,” said Jason Labowitz, president and co-founder of Entertainment Earth, Inc.
These limited edition action figures will be exclusively distributed through EE Distribution (http://www.eedistribution.com), a division of Entertainment Earth, Inc., and will be sold online at www.entertainmentearth.com and at other fine retailers throughout the United States.

Sounds good. I don't know much about the company making them, but if they look somewhat good, I'll be buying.
