Suck it Hasbro! I spent hundreds of dollars on your Power of the Force II action figures when I was a kid, and did you ever think to thank me by turning my favorite indie comic heroes into awesome articulated action figures? No!
Luckily, Shocker Toys has stepped up to the plate, and for this I salute them! All comic fans deserve a chance to adorn their rooms with cheap and posable versions of their favorite characters, not just cape and horror fans! I'm guessing The Maxx will be their big seller (and why not), but I'm most excited about the fella after the jump...

If you're wondering why Scud comes with an Isz from The Maxx's universe, well, I guess Shocker must have made extra, because each toy in the 6'' Indie Spotlight Series I comes with an Isz, as well as extra hands, accessories, and mini-posters. They're priced at a very reasonable $13.95, which has me hoping the paint job will look as good as these pictures. Suffice to say, these aren't vinyl, leave-it-in-the-box toys, these are meant to be played with, dammit!

These are all due to ship in December (hint hint, gift season?), but you can pre-order online at the Shocker.
Next on my wish list, Mouse Guard figures with more playability and Sam and Max figures that don't look like this:

Yeah, Shadowhawk is kind of an odd man out here. All the others come from books with some sort of cred, and then there's Shadowhawk, a character whose book's only accomplishment was helping start the variant cover speculation frenzy of the 90s.
