drgnrbrn316 Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 Shocker Toys? Isn't that where a line goes to die? Like Kabuki, who didn't fare well in the Minimate style. Still, on another site, I saw a Shockini display of a city block that looked interesting. The figures were crap, but the buildings looked good. Quote
minivenom Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 I don't know why everybody hates on Shockinis around here. Maybe it's because Shockinis are far superior to Minimates and you are all jealous. Or, it could be that we all hate Shockinis because they really really suck. Yeah, that sounds more like it. But at least we don't have a hundred posts from Mr. ShockerToys spouting off about how great his toy is and how all three members of his forum are eagerly waiting to see the prototypes from his newest license, "Star Cats and the Real American Heroes of the Universe."

karamazov80 Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 Does make me realize how much I would love a Tick Minimate. . .but damn. Seriously, who thinks that anybody would buy those things? Words honestly can't describe how ugly those things are. Quote
jcastick Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 Not only are they ugly.......they are fugly as well. Looking at these things makes me see red........not from anger, I think it is because my eyes are bleeding. Quote
Reideen1313 Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 Those are ugly as sin. I did see a Beefcake da Mighty figure though. I hope they have a whole lineup pf GWAR figures. I'm pretty sure GWAR has pulled the license from Shocker. (That's the consistent rumor I've been hearing for about 4 months now.) I don't know why everybody hates on Shockinis around here. Maybe it's because Shockinis are far superior to Minimates and you are all jealous. Or, it could be that we all hate Shockinis because they really really suck. Yeah, that sounds more like it. But at least we don't have a hundred posts from Mr. ShockerToys spouting off about how great his toy is and how all three members of his forum are eagerly waiting to see the prototypes from his newest license, "Star Cats and the Real American Heroes of the Universe." I have a feeling Gwarff isn't here because of a few individuals he knows would bust his balls until he left and never returned. (I know a couple of us have his IP around somewheres....) :biggrin: Quote
Shamrock Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 I don't think a worse company could possibly exist. Quote
battlecat Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 Wow that sucks. I was all excited when I heard about upcoming Maxx and Scud figs (the 6-inchers, not the Shockinis or whatever). Then I saw their godawful Maxx proto and I was only excited about the Scud figure (which looks to be their only not-fugly sculpt). Then I read all the "love" for ShockerToys here and elsewhere, and it sounds like it might not even see the light of day. The only upside is that several of the insults in this thread made me laugh out loud Quote
bruticus Posted March 3, 2008 Author Posted March 3, 2008 Newsflash, I burnt mine to death and they melt lovely *nods* Quote
Deadpool Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 Newsflash, I burnt mine to death and they melt lovely *nods* I'm gonna melt mine when I have a camcorder. Do it to death metal like whomever suggested forever ago. Quote

TBT! Posted May 21, 2008 Posted May 21, 2008 I took a bet with Shane how quickly this thread would appear... I was wrong by about an hour. *Nothing to see here, Move along!!!* T. Quote
Reideen1313 Posted May 21, 2008 Posted May 21, 2008 I'm not familiar with Shockinis. I certainly can't buy them in stores.... Quote
drgnrbrn316 Posted May 21, 2008 Posted May 21, 2008 Oh, I couldn't resist. Tis a sad, sad day at Minimate Headquarters. Quote
TBT! Posted May 21, 2008 Posted May 21, 2008 Oh, I couldn't resist. Tis a sad, sad day at Minimate Headquarters. But I'm sure you're used to it! T. Quote
TBT! Posted May 21, 2008 Posted May 21, 2008 Apparently the kids love them. So much so they couldn't bring themselves to leave home to see the shocker panel at SDCC last year http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=uEi10HobGPo T. *(Private joke alert) Or perhaps they were at the Harry potter fanclub meetup....* Quote
Ivan Posted May 21, 2008 Posted May 21, 2008 Apparently the kids love them. So, Geoff is a Buffalonian who gave up on construction work. Learn something new every day, I guess. Quote
buttheadsmate Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 I can see that there is an 'in' joke here.....but can ol' gramps come aboard? Quote
Cappy Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 I'm not familiar with Shockinis. I certainly can't buy them in stores.... OK, that's it! For the past several months I've been wondering who did what to the Reideen1313 I once knew and loved! Is it Skrulls? Grey aliens? What have you done with Reideen, you b***ds!?!? Quote

MiniFiend UK Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 Is this like Secret Invasion? Are key members of the forum going to reveal themselves to be shockini's and overthrow us all! Quote
Rad Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 I can see that there is an 'in' joke here.....but can ol' gramps come aboard? There's a lot of history with the Shockini guy, and it involved a couple of people from here. Other than that there's not a lot I can say as I don't want to drop anyone in it. Quote
