Just turn them into a power trio !! Kind of like, what's that damn band up in Canada? You know the one, the name starts with an 'M'
I think Guyver may be in the same situation with what he has shown of his!

I came up with a KILLER idea for their custom contest.
problem is, I only got 3, and I need 4...
woe is me...
I was thinking that, as I mentioned in the haul thread(which isn't working well, IMO), but no one would know who we are...
I was posing these little fuckers, and thought "KISS Destroyer"...but, well, I guess I could leave Peter out. he is only a drummer, right? [img]wink.gif[/img]

Here is our latest press release to let people know the Shockinis are officially loose, available in over 25 stores in the US and Canada. These were premiered at the recent Wizard World Philladelphia show last weekend, selling out of stock completely.

SHOCKINIS ARE RUNNING FREE!
Shocker Toys announces the first cases of Shockinis hitting stores nationwide.
Ridgewood, NJ - May 29,2004 - The Shockinis - The all new three inch mini action figure sporting 18 points of articulation by Shocker Toys. These feature newly designed bodies allowing more movement then ever, cool new designs and colors. The new Custom Shockinis were shown at Wizard World Philadelphia 2004 with great success. A low price point made these extra attractive to customizers who bought 4 or 5 at a time! Most of them plan to submit their customs to the Shocker toys custom gallery at our website. It's a connection to the public that gave us the drive to put out our first toys and we love seeing what happens to them when our friends get them home! We will always encourage collectors to send in pictures of their Shockini creations and will share them with the world with pride on our website. The all new Shockinis have been geared to the max in their "Custom" version packed with accessories and stickers for a great price. What's next? Hitting larger retail chains very soon will be the "Electrobyte" Shockinis featuring a comic and painted robotic Shockini. These will come in a wide range of styles, based on original art in the Manga style. We guarantee there will be an Electrobyte for every taste.
On May 24th, 2004, the Custom Shockinis along with a few Electrobytes shipped out to more then 25 stores nationwide. To find a location nearest your home, check out our website at www.shockertoys.com . Each of the Custom Shockinis feature new body styles, a range of dynamic accessories and stickers. The Electrobyte Shockinis come with their own comic book.
CUSTOM SHOCKINI
The Custom Shockini comes in an off white color, matching its base and accessories. This first run features a new body style with 18 POA and pop and lock sockets for easy part removal and interchanging. The 5 accessories included are a gun, staff, sword, a pair of binoculars and a bonus block that can be carved into what ever you like. The sticker sheet boasts 50 stickers that were designed by fellow Shockini fans as well as our design team. The J-Card that the Custom Shockini comes in can be customized as well, allowing your character information to be filled in. The Shockini body is easy to carve and sand for ease of customization.

NEUTRAL APE-X
The most mysterious of the Ape-X bots. Neutral Ape-X is a cold hearted, sleek fighting machine. As all the Electrobytes do, Ape-X has an old school Japanese "Big-Bot" feel to him.

mna these things sound sweet!
they kick HUGE amounts off ass.
never did get my 4th one, so I got something else in mind...
"band of brothers marching together..." [img]wink.gif[/img]
Hmm.... I'm still standing ground with THESE...
As snape said, the Takara Microman series "Kick Ten Kinds of ASS!"
[img]smile.gif[/img]
Amen, Baimun.
If we can only get an American manufacturer to start putting 'em out so that they don't cost an arm and a leg for imports.
Now, if I was in the toy business, I'd be producing minis like the Microman figures-- more realistically proportioned, but not quite as complicated a construction... as if Stikfas had taken a page from Takara, but simplified the design.
As far as customizing goes, Microman is where it's at, especially if you're doing superhero stuff. I'm very pleased with the progress of my Spider-Man, though I wish I knew about Takara's before I started him.
There's nothing quite like busting your ass on a custom for months and finding out it's gonna be obsolete within weeks after completion.
Yea i only got 3 nad needed 4 but I am working with that.
Anywho, yea I will be e-mailing about the newer ones to work with, Oh the things I can make.
BTW, I have had to put the busters on a a back burner for a bit, The wife is having me repaint stuff. Like the living room, The outside of the house, the kitchen , the babys room. Feels like I am living out of a big ass paint can.
I will be postin another sneek peek pic later today.
