HUGE NEWS: Lazerman Action Figures at TOY FAIR!!!
Shocker Toys produces INDY SPOTLIGHT, a line of fully articulated 6
inch action figures based on independent comic book properties, as
well as Mallows, a line of designer vinyls.
Lazerman be joining Indy Spotlight alongside such indy comic greats
as The MaXX, Shadowhawk, Dick Tracy, the Tick, The Phantom, and a
host of others! In addition to the 6" figure, a Lazerman Mallow is
also in production!
The prototypes for Shocker's first Lazerman products will be on
display at Shocker Toys booth at TOY FAIR 2010, February 14-17 in
the Javits Center in New York City! Me and Alan will be there on the
14th. For more information on Toy Fair, check out their
website.
Now I'm sure this is a huge surprise to many of you. In fact,
Shocker Toy's owner Geoff Beckett has proven to be an extremely
controversial figure in the industry. Before meeting and speaking to
Geoff, I had heard a lot of rumors, a lot of innuendo, and a lot of
stories. Well, me and Alan were never ones to plunge headfirst
without looking.
I can tell you that we did our research. I spoke to numerous other
creators and licensors (some of whom were my idols beforehand!) We
met with Geoff over a year ago, and were in discussions about the
license for more than 6 months before we made our decision. We found
Geoff to be an all around decent guy with a legitimate passion for
making toys, and every expectation he set with us about the process
has been met.
The figures Shocker puts out are, in my personal opinion as an avid
toy collector, the best 6" figures I've seen. The articulation is
incredibly well engineered, and the sculpting is top notch. The Indy
Spotlight line is a perfect blend well known mainstream favorites,
characters with more of a cult following, and "rising stars" you
might not have heard of yet. I couldn't imagine Lazerman being in
better company.
Naturally, we'll be posting pictures of the prototypes after the
show!
