Dynamic Forces Signs Highlander

highlander

Runnemede, NJ - September 13, 2005 - Davis-Anderson Merchandising Corp and Dynamic Forces are proud to announce a new line of high-quality collectibles based upon the HIGHLANDER franchise. The agreement between the two companies allows for use of HIGHLANDER characters from both the film and television series in a dynamic assortment of high end and cool collectibles.

The original HIGHLANDER film (1986, 20th Century Fox) starred Christopher Lambert as Connor MacLeod, a Scottish clansman born in 1518, who learns that he is an immortal being who must use his wits, and sword, to battle against other immortals, in a deadly game where the survivor will claim "the prize" and decide the fate of mankind. Tutored in the art of sword fighting by his fellow immortal Ramirez (Sean Connery), Conner finds himself pitted against the evil Kurgan (Clancy Brown), culminating in a final battle in New York City in 1985.

This now cult classic film has led to four HIGHLANDER feature films, Home Videos and DVD's, an animated series, fourteen original books and successful licensed merchandise. The HIGHLANDER franchise also includes the popular HIGHLANDER: The Series (119 one hour episodes over 6 seasons), starring Adrian Paul as Connor's cousin, and fellow immortal, Duncan MacLeod. The HIGHLANDER television series has since lived on in widespread syndication and distribution on VHS and DVD.

"We've been working on this one for awhile," explained DF President Nick Barrucci. "And it was definitely worth the wait. We have some new and exciting things planned for the MacLeod clan! With the 20th Anniversary of the first film next year, the time is perfect for our dynamic collectibles to launch! We'll be working hand-in-hand with Davis Anderson Productions to promote each cool collectible through their huge list of fans!"

The agreement allows for DF to produce Statues and Dioramas, Lithographs and small scale figures (from the successful PALZ line produced by Palisades) from all aspects of the HIGHLANDER franchise. Trading cards will be produced based on the first four movies.
