Get ready to meet Zappy, the mysterious laser boy of space, from the land of the Forgotten Future.
GoHero, makers of pop culture collectibles, partnered with Atomic Toybox Entertainment, producers of animation and live-action entertainment brands, for the launch of new property and toy line Forgotten Future. The story explores a boy cursed with cosmic secrets of a Martian invasion that threatens humanity and the lost heroes he must find to save the world. The universe will serve as a setting for new stories and twists on old favorites.
The first glimpse into the property is a new line of limited-edition vinyl figures with articulation and accessories featuring main character Zappy. In multiple color variations exclusive to retailers, the Zappy figure stands 9 inches tall and comes with a removable jet pack, ray gun, and holster.
“We blended the action of Rocketmen, the horror of War of the Worlds, and the charm of E.T. with shocking results!” says GoHero Owner Steve Forde. From Atomic Toybox Entertainment’s perspective, President Michael Polis says, “Transforming classic science fiction concepts into fresh and exciting stories for a new audience is both a thrilling and gratifying experience.”
This expression of space heroes and monsters is licensed and produced by Executive Replicas, a longtime collaborator with GoHero. Some co-produced high-end collectibles from the companies’ partnership include The Shadow, Doc Savage, Lost in Space, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Vincent Price, and Stan Lee.
