karamazov80 Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 LOL! An invasion so secret, no one is able to find product to buy! I know that I'm going to have a nightmare tonight, where all my Minimates reveal themselves to be hideous Shockinis in disguise. . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdyCarter Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 I prefer Fluffits. They were clearly the superior toy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dockingbay97 Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 I don't want to bash a company but there are a few of my friends that all share the same thought when we see them set up at a con or at Toy Fair. How does a company survive when... 1. You have no idea where to buy the toys. 2. There are always the same "Coming soon" toys being displayed. They have a lot of courage to keep it up - I will give them that. It just seems like a lost cause IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reideen1313 Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 The problem isn't so much the product itself as it is the company and the douchebag running the show. The product is ok - they certainly aren't up to minimates, kubricks, fluffits or stikfas standards IMO, but they're ok for what they are. Some of the concepts - 4 arms, 4 legs etc (all thought of by members of the company forums btw - not by the 'brain' running the company) were good ideas that could easily be taken and applied to other, superior block figures. Another problem is the company presence (spam) on message boards. If your opinion isn't 110% positive, then your views are sh!t and you're "biast" against the company and the product. IMO, they're worse than Mattel when it comes to learning from past mistakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gambitron Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Ok so my first contact with this brand was walking by their booth at SDCC last year and stopping to look since it was atleast similar to Stikfas. The guy at the booth was way pushy and a real jerk. The figures looked intersting enough for me to check out their website and after looking at their stuff I figured it wasn't worth much. I did come across a picture of a Bucky O'Hare shockini and was pissed that they got to make those and not some other better brand becasue I loved those toys as a kid. But as it has been stated here many times this company sucks and their Bucky O'hare line never came to fruition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacksun1520 Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 If the world were actually like the Toy Story movies, Shockinis would get beat up by the other toys when no one was around. BS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murderofcrows Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 uhhh actually, they would have to make some first. I spoke with Geoff on MSN the other day, and all the shockinis have been cancelled. They are currently pulling the tools on the 3 inch models. and working on a new scale. He is just as ridiculous on MSN as he is in the forums, everything is everyone elses problem, and everyone loves his figures. what a total tool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cappy Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 They are currently pulling the tools on the 3 inch models. and working on a new scale. Something closer to 2", do you suppose? Just speculating here... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Judging by there attire at SDCC they probably produce more T-Shirts than toys. "Y'English ? " :biggrin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just speculating here... according to Geoff, it WAS going to be a 2.5 inch, then it was changed to a 3 3/4 inch design. But hell according to him they are still going to get a Dec release Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacksun1520 Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 (edited) I saw a shockini at a Newbury Comics in Marlborough, MA on Sunday. it was this one: and I don't drink or do drugs, so there's no way I was halucinating. And no, it was definitly not a stickfa. BS PS. I apolagize for posting the above pic, as it is both a disgrace to the Multiverse, and painful to the eyes.

The_Donster Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 Did anyone receive an e-mail from this company recently? I don't know how I got put on this guy's mailer, but given his reputation and being banned from a few forums I've belonged to, I told them to take me off their mailer. Things have gotten so bad, there's another toy forum that's actually has a forum dedicated to "educating" the public. Below is the e-mail, but I don't see how this company can stay in business, given their behavior and poor shipping dates Must be nice to have money you can piss away. October 6th, 2008 Greetings!
