Bif Bang Pow Catches Dexter Red Handed

Dexter, one of the more interesting original shows in recent years will apparently be getting the action figure treatment courtest of Big Bang Pow, the guy who brought us those Flash Gordon figurs that made a lot of people's dreams come true. Here's the info:

LOS ANGELES, CA (February 29, 2008) – Showtime Networks Inc. has announced that it has awarded a licensing contract for their critically acclaimed original drama, Dexter, to manufacturer Bif Bang Pow! The series follows Dexter Morgan (Michael C. Hall), an incredibly likeable forensics expert for the Miami Metro Police Department, who moonlights as a serial killer with a penchant for inflicting his own unusual brand of justice—he kills people who truly deserve it.

The network, working with its licensing agency, 360ep, has signed with Bif Bang Pow! to manufacture and distribute bobble heads and other figures for Dexter. "I’m an ardent SHOWTIME enthusiast and a huge fan of Dexter since its beginning in Season 1. Dexter falls right in line with what Bif Bang Pow! is trying to achieve," said Jason Lenzi, CEO of Bif Bang Pow! "Dexter is a smart, hip series that always keeps you glued to the edge of your seat. It’s an exciting show and we plan to create equally exciting collectibles to compliment it." Bif Bang Pow! will produce a variety of Dexter collectibles, starting with bobble heads and action figures. The first items to come available should reach market this fall. Watch for future announcements regarding these winning new releases.

In addition to this news, Bif Bang Pow also announced that they had inked a deal with highly inked Heavy Metal icon Scott Ian from the band, Anthrax. First up will be a bobblehead followed by a figure later on.
