Astro-Zombies Exclusive Clear Blue Tick Action Figure by Shocker Toys

So apparently there is an uber-rare fourth The Tick Indie Spotlight action figure from Shocker Toys that not many fans know about. It is a clear blue version of The Tick, which can be purchased exclusively from the Albuquerque comic books store Astro-Zombies. I’m not sure if there is any type of significance to this clear blue colorway, but the transparent Tick action figure does look pretty cool.

The Astro-Zombies Exclusive Clear Blue The Tick action figure by Shocker Toys is limited to just 500 figures and can be purchased from the Astro-Zombies online store here for $29.99.

Idle Hands Exclusive The Mucus Tick Action Figure by Shocker Toys

In addition to Shocker Toys’ four Indie Spotlight summer convention exclusives comes the Idle Hands Exclusive The Mucus Tick action figure seen below. The Blot can’t like, when I heard Idle Hands was getting its own exclusive Indie Spotlight action figure I got a little jealous! How cool is that?!? One day my friends, one day!

Idle Hands Exclusive The Mucus Tick Action Figure by Shocker Toys
For those of you unfamiliar with the Mucus Tick, when comic book and cartoon hero The Tick fights an "Uncommon Cold," he finds himself facing off against an evil version of himself…his own sickly mucus given life by an evil alien! Essentially, it's The Tick…but itSnot.

The Mucus Tick is a translucent green version of Shocker Toys’ Indie Spotlight Series 2 The Tick action figure with brand new card art. This Idle Hands exclusive action figure is limited to 1,000 pieces, retails for $22 each, and goes on sale today, Friday, May 28th, at 10am at the Shocker Toys online store.

Wizard Tour Exclusive 2010 Hunter Rose (Grendel) Action Figure by Shocker Toys

The fourth and final convention exclusive Indie Spotlight action figures from Shocker Toys is the Hunter Rose (Grendel) action figure. The Blot is a huge fan of Matt Wagner’s Grendel comic books, and this action figure of the original Grendel, Hunter Rose, looks awesome!

SDCC 2010 Exclusive Barry Hubris (from The Tick) Action Figure by Shocker Toys

Another one of Shocker Toys’ four convention exclusive Indie Spotlight action figures is the Barry Hubris (from The Tick) action figure. Barry Hubris is a wannabe superhero who fought crime as the Tick, but not THE Tick. Once Barry realizes he is actually the 2nd Tick, he turns to a life of crime hell-bent on destroying the Tick we all know and love.

SDCC 2010 Exclusive The Blank (from Dick Tracy) Action Figure by Shocker Toys

This year, Shocker Toys is releasing four different convention exclusive Indie Spotlight action figures. One of my favorite of these exclusives is the San Diego Comic-Con 2010 exclusive The Blank action figure. The Blank (also known as Faceless Redrum) is a member of Dick Tracy’s rogues gallery who wears a blank face mask to hide his identity…just picture DC Comics’ The Question as a bad guy!

SDCC 2010 Exclusive Golden Age The Blue Beetle (Dan Garret) Action Figure by Shocker Toys

Shocker Toys’ first big San Diego Comic-Con 2010 exclusive is an Indie Spotlight action figure of the Golden Age Blue Beetle Dan Garret (with one T). For the longest time I couldn’t figure out how the Golden Age Blue Beetle had fallen into the public domain, until it was explained that there are two Golden Age Blue Beetles, Dan Garret and Dan Garrett. That extra “T” and the lack of a red fin on his head makes all the difference!

Shocker Toys - Mallow Vinyl Figures

Not to be left out of the growing designer vinyl toy market, Shocker Toys, creator of the Indie Spotlight comic book action figure toy line, has created its own line of designer vinyl figures called Mallows. Mallows are a new 5 inch marshmallow themed figure featuring up to 10 points of articulation and up to 7 interchangeable parts with an oversized removable head. You can see what a Blank Do-It-Yourself Mallow looks like in the picture below:

Similar to Mighty Muggs and Mez-Itz in size, Mallows will feature a whole slew of different licensed characters on this new, interesting looking platform. Along with producing Mallow versions of the comic book characters that make up their Indie Spotlight toy line, Shocker Toys will also be releasing Mallow vinyl figures based on American Greetings characters such as Sushi Pack, Madballs and My Pet Monster. Collectors and artists can purchase the D-I-Y white Mallow seen above at the Shocker Toys online store for $13 each.

What’s most exciting about Shocker Toys’ new Mallow toy line is that it will be launching at this year’s San Diego Comic Con!
