Dick Tracy SDCC 09 Exclusive Black & White Action Figure by Shocker Toys

Shocker Toys is releasing an all new San Diego Comic Con exclusive Indie Spotlight action figure at this year’s convention. The SDCC 09 exclusive is a B&W version of Shocker Toys’ Dick Tracy action figure from Series 2 of its upcoming Indie Spotlight Comic Book Heroes 6” action figure toy line. This is the first time Dick Tracy has appeared as hyper-articulated action figures in creator Chester Gould’s classic black and white comic strip style.


The world’s most famous detective will be available in two limited run action figures. Both will be available on-site at San Diego Comic Con, with the standard issue B&W version also available to non-attendees at www.shockertoys.com/store.php. The B&W variant figure, which features Dick in his traditional trench coat with a Tommy gun will only be available at SDCC for a lucky few collectors.


The Blot has always been a huge Dick Tracy fan, so I am definitely going to try to get one of the B&W variant action figures at this summer’s San Diego Comic Con. Shocker Toys has not released the run size of either figure or a price for the black and white variant Dick Tracy figure, but the standard issue black and white Dick Tracy action figure is $35. Those of you unable to attend SDCC 09 can go ahead and pre-order the standard B&W Dick Tracy action figure now at Shocker Toys’ online store.


Series 2 of Shocker Toys’ Indie Spotlight Comic Book Heroes 6 inch action figure line will feature Dick Tracy colorized in both the standard and variant models along with The Tick, Ignacia, Jack Staff and King Zombie.

Kidrobot - Skullhead 20 Inch Dunny by Huck Gee

The long rumored 20” Huck Gee Dunny has finally been confirmed by Kidrobot and it’s a beauty. We’ve known about it for a while, but were never sure when it was coming out and what the design would look like. I am a little surprised it features the same design as Huck’s Series 1 3 inch Dunny only because he sold a custom hand painted 20” Skullhead Dunny just last year. But who am I to complain!?!


The coolest part of Huck Gee’s 20 inch Skullhead Dunny is that everyone one comes hand-signed by the artist! This has to be a first for a Kidrobot production piece, right? The ultra-limited 20” Skullhead has a run size of just 200 pieces and will go on sale Thursday, June 18, 2009 for $400 each at Kidrobot stores, Kidrobot online and select retailers worldwide.
