Team Venture will get its own line of merchandise

Venture Brothers, the funniest and best written show that -- inexplicably -- nobody watches, is getting its own line of toys and collectibles.

The appropriately named Bif Bang Pow!, a collectibles manufacturer, announced today a deal with Cartoon Network to make a new line of toys based on the Adult Swim animated comedy. Fans can look for a collection of action figures, bobble heads, vehicle models and other goodies.

This is a great sign for a show that deserves a lot more attention than it gets. As well-written as The Simpsons or South Park, Venture Brothers shows off spot-on parody and multi-layered jokes in every episode.

According to Bif Bang Pow!, the first item to hit stores and online outlets will be "a series of 7-inch scale resin bobble heads targeted for spring 2010." Action figures for grown-up collectors will arrive in the summer of 2010 -- including likenesses of Dr. Venture, The Monarch, Brock Samson, Hank & Dean Venture and others.

Fans should also keep an eye out for exclusive releases tied into special events like Comic-Con and other genre fests.
