SAHARA Movie tie-ins?

Didn't we see from one of the toy fairs 21C showing off toys from this movie? I just saw on AICN someone just reviewed it, so it must be coming out soon. I think there was a jeep, etc. Will these be surprises showing up at Walmarts and TRUs soon?

Also, any idea when we'll be seeing the Sky Captain P40? I mean, 21C usually keeps everyone well informed on their release dates

as i recall there were a bunch of figures, jeep, m-48 patton and something else coming out. I have a feeling this movie's going to bomb so the movie may come and go before 21c has a chance to get the toys out.

Odd though, usually toy lines preceed movies. Well, as long as i can get one of the jeeps....i plan to convert it to an SAS one..

That last one was a Huey:

I think these two guys are great. They can be your SAS in North Africa, or your Special Forces looking for Bin Laden....very cool possibilities.

This "Sahara" movie ties into the Dirk Pitt adventure book by Clive Cussler!
Not the Bogart WWII movie.
"Sahara" was a GREAT book! Cussler's most famous book "Raise the Titantic" was made into a lackluster movie in 1980-81.
Hopefully this will be a better movie.

Just to offer a point of clarification...

Those pictures on Figures.com are from the Fall Mass Market Toy Show held, I believe, last October.

The 2005 American International Toy Fair is held February 20-23.

Hopefully there'll be some solid info from 21C there on Sahara and other lines.

(which reminds me, I need to schedule my appt. with 21C today. I've already got my appts with bbi and Dusty Trail...)

Decided to write 21C about this. Here's what I got back.

"we will be coming out with 1:18 figures and 1:18 Huey helicopter and 1:18 Patton Tank and also 1:6 action figures and a 1:6 Jeep. Tune into our website within the next 6 weeks to find out about the release of our Sahara products. Our website is www.21stcenturytoys.com ."

The movie comes out April 6, so some of the reviews are way-early sneak previews. Went to the movie website (www.saharamovie.com). Maybe we'll see some African militia figures. My techincals are awfully undermanned.
