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.

Hope this isn't already up...
Just saw this on the Tank:
HissTank.com - G.I. Joe - View Single Post - A-team figures Where are they
First pics of the A-Team action figures and van
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???
Awesome!
I think itd be cool to use that van as Punishers war van
BBTS has prerorders up: The A-Team Toys, Action Figures, and Collectibles
been waiting for these figures
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.
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!!
DO WANT! haha.
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.
Those aren't bad at all!
These look pretty cool. Hope the in-hand products look this good.
AFI has the press release & a pic of carded Hannibal.

The packaging seems retardedly overdone though. The big A seems like a waste of plastic.
Wow, those don't look half bad.
ehhhhh, no. I just can't bring my self seeing Seth Green along side the rest of bad asses that adorn my display cases....
why does murdock remind me of Bert?
Why does the international market get a 3-pack without B.A. ??
Jazwares A Team Movie Toyline Press Release And Images
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.
they couldn't make opening rear doors and not mold them into the body??
the figures suck too crappy likenesses and way too simple in the sculpts...just cheap looking.
