Cast members Jorge Garcia (Hurley) and Daniel Dae Kim (Jin), along with several members of the show's creative team -- executive producers Damon Lindelof, Carlton Cuse and Bryan Burk joined toymaker Todd McFarlane for the unveiling.

The Hurley action figure will include a lottery ticket and voice chip technology will bring the figure to life with four favorite TV show quotes; "Dude... I'm starving... I'm nowhere near that hungry.", "You got some... Arzt... on you.", "Stop! Wait! The numbers are bad!" and "Welcome, to the first... and hopefully last... Island Open."

Each 6-inch Lost action figure will come complete with a detailed base and photographic backdrop, capturing an episode-specific moment in the character's story. In addition, each package will include a detailed prop reproduction, central to the character's story, enabling fans to "own" a piece of the show's mythology.

Release date: Late Fall 2006, MSR $19.99. Product will be available at most North American mass-market and specialty retailers
