The Toyark has just received a press release from Jazzwares announcing several new items for their upcoming A Team toyline!
JAZWARES™ SELECTED BY TWENTIETH CENTURY FOX LICENSING & MERCHANDISING TO CAPTURE THE EXPLOSIVE ACTION OF THE UPCOMING MOTION PICTURE EVENT
THE A-TEAM WITH PREMIERE LINE OF LICENSED PRODUCTS
Jazwares, Inc. Awarded Toy License for the Upcoming Feature Film
SUNRISE, FL – April 27, 2010 - Jazwares™, a leader in the consumer products marketplace, has been tapped by Twentieth Century Fox Licensing & Merchandising (Fox Licensing) to develop an extensive toy line for the upcoming feature film The A-Team. The launch of the Jazwares product line will coincide with the movie's release in June 2010.
"The release of The A-Team film will introduce a new generation of fans to the heroes of the popular series," said Laura Zebersky, executive vice president sales, Jazwares. "The A-Team is a part of pop culture history and we look forward to playing a role in its return."
"Jazwares is part of the ‘A-Team’ of licensees we’ve assembled to work on the merchandising program for this fantastic property," said Lora Cohn, VP of Fox Licensing. "We are confident that both old and new fans alike will be pleased by what Jazwares introduces to retail.” The Jazwares toy line includes 3 ¾-inch action figures in an assortment, 12-inch B.A. Baracus and Hannibal Smith collector figures with voice chips, and an electronic A-Team van for the 3 ¾-inch figures.
The A-Team follows the exciting and daring exploits of Hannibal Smith and his colorful team of former Special Forces soldiers who were set up for a crime they did not commit. Going “rogue,” they utilize their unique talents – and eccentricities – to try and clear their names and find the true culprit. The A-Team hits everywhere June 11, 2010.
Liam Neeson, whose many credits include the Oscar-winning Schindler’s List and the recent box office hit Taken portrays Hannibal Smith, a master planner of inventive missions requiring split-second timing, unusual skills and a team of incredibly proficient and eccentric soldiers; Bradley Cooper, who shot to movie superstardom in the smash comedy The Hangover, is Templeton “Face” Peck, who can procure anything for the Team’s unorthodox and daring activities; Quinton “Rampage” Jackson, a professional mixed martial artist and a top rated UFC light heavyweight, is B.A. Baracus, the Team’s driver and muscle; and Sharlto Copley, who stars in the surprise summer hit District 9, is H.M “Howling Mad” Murdock, a gifted pilot – and certified loon. Jessica Biel (The Illusionist) stars as Capt. Charisa Sosa, a former love interest of Face’s, but who’s now relentlessly pursuing the Team for a crime not of their doing. Patrick Wilson (Watchmen) is Lynch, a mysterious CIA operative who is a key player in the Team’s most explosive mission.
Joe Carnahan (Narc, Smokin’ Aces) directs from a screenplay by Skip Woods (X-Men Origins: Wolverine), Carnahan, and Carnahan’s writing partner Brian Bloom (writing credit not final), based on the television series “The A-Team.” The producers are Ridley Scott, Tony Scott, Jules Daly, Stephen J. Cannell, Alex Young, Iain Smith, and Spike Seldin.

Now I wish I didnt get the ROC steel crusher for Pun. That van just screams Pun with the flat black paint, so sweet! hope this is in the $20.00 range. This is in 1/18 scale right???
Optimus Scourge:
Awesome!
Tarquinius:
I think itd be cool to use that van as Punishers war van
appa:
been waiting for these figures  decepticon_mark:
Hope they work well with MU for customing. I see a Punisher Van coming and maybe some of the figures will work for other Marvel characters that need more traditional attire than superhero wear. Looks like the Face figure's head with the Murdock body might make a good updated Bruce Banner as seen in recent comics.
prowl26:
Any chance of getting a companion line based on the tv series?? I would love to get the van and B.A. I WANT THE VAN!!
Mumble-bee:
Right this moment, I wish I still had my 3-3/4 A-Team figures & van from the 80's.
(This will pass in a few minutes. Only the Van was any good. those figures were terrible!)
It would be so nice if there were a Van & figure gift set, where you get all the boys for $40 or so.
It would be even nicer if Hasbro was making them with the current Joe bodies. On the other hand if Hasbro'd gotten the license they likely would have used those crummy Marvel bodies.

I can see these figures getting modified, a lot of custom potential, too.
From what I read on Hisstank, there is going to be camo uniforms coming as well.
artiepants:
Those aren't bad at all!
scarecrow:
These look pretty cool. Hope the in-hand products look this good.
scarecrow: Quote:

The packaging seems retardedly overdone though. The big A seems like a waste of plastic.
Robogeek28:
Wow, those don't look half bad.
Morzilla:
ehhhhh, no. I just can't bring my self seeing Seth Green along side the rest of bad asses that adorn my display cases....
eisen:
why does murdock remind me of Bert?  prowl26:
Why does the international market get a 3-pack without B.A. ??

I think the van is cool, but the rest is mediocre. I will wait until they hit clearance racks like the POS Star Trek figs then get a few for parts.
nomad1632:
they couldn't make opening rear doors and not mold them into the body??
nomad1632:
the figures suck too crappy likenesses and way too simple in the sculpts...just cheap looking.

Cavbeast:
Not only are we gonna see a custom Punisher van but you KNOW someone will make a custom Spider-Mobile/Van BWA-HA-HA HA!. Oooh oooh an Inspector Gadget Van.  Snowflakian:
I might get the van, and the suit guy, mostly so I can kitbash the suit guy into professor X.

I want a couple "suit guys" for Tomax and Xamot scarecrow: Quote:
Originally Posted by trebleshot Suit guy....damn, I feel old. | Haha... I'm pretty sure I'm half your age and laughed at that for the same reason.
CdtWeasel:
Found these today at target. Picked up Murdoch, Hannibal and B.A., the paint quality was bad on all the rest of the figs on the shelves.  Optimus Scourge: Quote:

I believe this is the first retail sighting we've seen.
Saint Phe:
I'm waiting on someone to post size comparison pics with GI Joes.
MegaPrime33:
Friend of mine to Target and found a bunch of them. They're definitely out. He didnt see the van though.  Snowflakian: Quote:

Lol don't feel bad. I grew up watching A-Team, so I know I'm old.
My memory just sucks for names of non-capes.

trebleshot:
Went to two different Targets over the weekend and they had the pegs tags, but nothing on the shelves. Anyone got the DCPI's for them?
Went to a few Wal-Marts too and didn't see anything.
ludovicotek:
I went to Target and Wal-Mart yesterday, but nothing.
Optimus Scourge:
Found them today at Target, had to really go through them, as a few of them had bad paint issues, but I was able to come away with a decent set
No sign of the van, yet

No sign of the van, yet | Same here, I stopped by after work yesterday - they're a nice set.
Morzilla:
Ok we [TGT] have these figures in store now and they are going for about $6 bucks. I saw a BA figure with no paint on eyes, he looks like he closed his eyes or he's asleep ha ha ha.
TheSymbiote:
i Got all 4 a-team members and they had the price tag for the van and it cost 24.99.
B.A is my fav out of the 4

Johnnyakiba:

I hate that the Ankle articulation is crap SO I kit bashed it with the G.I. Joe Rise of Cobra Heavy Duty (Non-Armor). The feet are identicle and fit PERFECTLY.

B.A is my fav out of the 4 | I wonder if that 5th guy works with them or is a bad guy. Also wonder if they'll make a Jessica Biel fig?
Morzilla: Quote:
Originally Posted by BlackRazor I wonder if that 5th guy works with them or is a bad guy. Also wonder if they'll make a Jessica Biel fig? | I think he might be the one in charge of chasing the A-Team, I know that at some point in the series they did get a fifth member, he looked hispanic, but he might have been either Native American, Hispanic, Islander, or even Philippino ( think Lou Diamond Phillips ).
As far as a Biel figure...hmmmm I think there might be one.

I'd imagine by the time the movie comes out on June 11, we might know more.
Jessica Biel as Capt. Charisa Sosa would be a great figure, especially for customs. I'd buy a couple trebleshot: Quote:

Amy A. Allen ("AAA") was the fifth and became their liason with people who wanted to hire the A-Team after it became too dangerous for Hannibal to do it himself (even in disguise).
Btw, did I mention I was a rabid fan of the show back in the day?
Optimus Scourge:
Hey trebleshot, did you ever see the A-Team from back in the day?
*ducks*
Morzilla:
SORRY I was not able to get the DCPI's for the figures last night, we were short handed 
and was not placed in the toy section ): [
But I will get them dammed DCPIs for you guys, including the 12" talking figure and the VAN as well!
trebleshot:
No worries, Morzilla. I can wait. Quote:

prowl26:
hmmm.... a Jessica Biel action figure you say??
jimmynguyen41:

Morzilla:
Ok as promised here's the DCPI's for the figures, and the 12"...
087061423 for the assorted 3 3/4" A-team figures $5.99
087061035 for the 12" talking A-team figures $19.99
jimmynguyen41 gave ya'll the van
I agree, upon inspection the van looks like any other van! it lights up and you can hear quotes from the film by pressing a button...somewhere, The packaging is rather meh! All three doors open and you can seat the figures individually.
And to believe that Jazwares came out with a bad ass line for SONIC that they had to ruin it with these figures.
