Indie Spotlight!


Goliath enjoys the simple pleasures in life. Two of his favorite are comics and toys. He squeals in glee with every whiff of fresh vinyl while opening the recyclable plastic packaging surrounding his new toy. He reads comics on the bus with no shame, often showing the cool fight scenes to the pleasant old lady sitting next to him.

Goliath is particularly fond of The Maxx by Sam Keith. Something about the purple and yellow behemoth reminds him of his mother. But Goliath has diverse tastes, and often indulges in reading the antics of Francine and Katchoo in Terry Moore's Strangers in Paradise. That Katchoo is such a spitfire, she is.

Naturally, you can understand Goliath's excitement upon hearing the announcement of Shocker Toys' new line: Indie Spotlight! Including the aforementioned The Maxx and Katchoo, the series also includes other lovable characters such as Skud the Disposable Assassin, Shadowhawk, and Kabuki.

The toys are due out in Summer 2008, but that hasn't stopped Shocker Toys from announcing series 2: The Tick, Zombie King, Dick Tracey, and more!
