Indie Spotlight features 20+ pts of articulation in every 6 inch scaled figure. President of Shocker Toys, Geoff Beckett stated "We want you to be able to recreate classic moments from your favorite comics so posability and accessories are key. Shocker Toys wants to have as close a relationship with the creators of each character as you have come to have over the years of reading their books, so our figures will reflect that. We also realize that Indy Spotlight will create it's own universe as it grows, so look for scale to play a big part in expressing the diversity from character to character with giant robots staring down super powered vixens and over muscled supermen going toe to toe with sickly, inhuman creatures..we'll have it all!"

Kabuki looks like she's smuggling a very big secret down the front of her pants, and Shadowhawk looks like he could put somebody's eye out with that thing...

Personally I think these look very poor, like toys from the early 90's or something, and compared to the quality and detailing expected today don't even come close to being worth the asking price. My opinion anyway.

Shocker by name, shocker by nature.

I look forward to the Scud figure.

The Maxx needs more detail on teeth and bigger hands, as well as more bigger feet. Shadow Hawk looks ok, but I'm not liking the paint on any except Shadow Hawk. Ill probably pick up hawk and maxx, resculpt what they don't fix. I hope they treat the Tick right. Man, lots of characters there that never got done with the series from the 90's. Soooo much potential. Scud looks good too. No need for all the joints. Shockers trying to play hardball with low budget it seems and it would be better if they kept it simple. Mcfarlane's Maxx was simple, but awesome, even today. Anyway...
