The old saying goes,
“If a door closes, a window opens.” Well, Shocker Toys’
latest announcement is living proof of that adage.
The ‘Closed
Door’: Shocker’s Indie
Spotlight Series One (The Maxx Series) is being retired. Several big
retailers like Hastings and Toys R Us have bought almost all of the
entire
remaining product and no more of Series One will be produced.
What’s the good news? Shocker has slashed prices on the little
inventory
they have left. Check out http://www.shockertoys.com/
store.php for deep discounts and last chance sales.
The ‘Open
Window’: While we have to say
goodbye to Series One, Series Two (The Tick Series), is now available
for
pre-order. Series 2, featuring The Tick, Ignacia, Dick Tracy, Jack
Staff
and King Zombie is ready to roll. These hyper-articulated 6” action
figures will be available for sale on site at SDCC and will be in the
USA in
early July. Pre-Order now and you can be one of the first people in the
U.S. to get these figures. Retailers can order at sales@shockertoys.com
or call
201-913-7027. Remember, these products are not carried by Diamond.
If you want these figures and/or are not residing in the USA, it is up
to your
local shop to order direct from Shocker.
