    “We wanted to bring The Maxx from the Outback to your Backyard! Grab this mini rugged vinyl Maxx to pose anyway you want and if you’re lucky you may soon find an Isz or two to fight with! See you all at Comic Con in July booth# 3948!”

    - Geoff Beckett, CEO Shocker Toys -

    In the early 90s Sam Keith created and illustrated a little comic called ‘The Maxx’. While ‘The Maxx’ wasn’t by any leap of the imagination known for changing the way comics are made, I like to believe that in some way Sam Keith did make us stop for a minute and rethink what comics are, and can be. The unstable characters that haunted the pages of ‘The Maxx’ wormed their bipolar stories deep into the hearts of millions when MTV turned the book into an animated series. Since then this lovable, purple, homeless, hero, has become a cult favorite.

    Goeff Beckett of Shocker toys will be unveiling it latest figures at the upcoming San Diego International Comic Convention. Among the collection of toys will be ‘The Maxx’ character ‘Maxx’, sculpted by Ricky K.Y. Lam.

    “The tiny but larger than life mini Maxx vinyl action figure will come to life when taken out of its full colored box!” You will be able to pick one of these awesome action figures up at the Shocker Toys booth #3948 or by visiting their website http://www.shockertoys.com.

    If you are lucky enough to make your way to the Comic Com you may want to check out the Shocker Toys Panel July 25th 6:00-7:00PM, Room #4; there will be an AV presentation, free giveaways and live voting for the Indie Spotlight lines. Be sure to attend and leave your input so they can take Indie Spotlight to the highest level possible!
