Thanks for the link. I've seen these Shockinis before, and IMO they suck hard. I can't say why, but to me, they're extremely ugly and look like nothing more than Stikfas knock offs.

You are one hilarious guy!!!!
They look nothing like Stikfas so how can they be a rip off. Oh wait maybe because they are cheaper and better then they are......hahahaha
Well Ithink they are great for customizing not only that but unlike Stikfas smart@$$ they have licensed products so I can mix and match like Xevoz.
These things kick @$$

you don't seems to know much about Stikfas, no prob, but ALL Stikfas are interchangable with one another. Xevoz are Hasbro's design based off of Stikfas. And personally, I like that Stikfas does not have Liscensed figures yet. It leaves them more open to one's imagination. Now, I don't have anything against Shockini's, but I don't own one yet. [glow=red,2,300]Now if you want to convince me that they are better than Stikfas (have like 42+) send me a free Shockini.[/glow] I thought these were cool, but goldengonzo.proboards29.com/index.cgi?board=TalkaboutXevozsbabybrother&action=display&thread=1083792344

Why would I need to send you a free Shockini I own both stikfas and shockinis and I had to pay alot more to get the Shockinis because stores are being idiots and not carrying them. And I don't need to convince anyone that Shockinis are better then Stikfas. They both are great action figures. As are Xevoz! Fight the coporate world own more then one type of toy!!!!!

Relax, it was a joke, for the most part. Who wouldn't like a free toy ? I collect a few different things, like G.I. Joe, Marvel Minimates, Xevoz, Stikfas & Marvel Legends. I thought they have some potential, when the owner of ShockerToys showcased the Shockini custom Duke & Cobra Commander. If you really want to convince people that they are "kick @$$" as you put it. Post a review of them & use the same format that Justin ( www.GeneralsJoes.com ) uses when he reviews G.I. Joes. Personally, someone posting that these are great does not cut it for me. Give me a review with pics.

The ShockinisToy name: Shockinis Manufacturer:Shocker Toys LLP Link:http://www.shockertoys.com Version: White Customizable Shockini Price: MSRP $7.95 Availability: Now Review By: Jetson I got my first Shockini at a convention in PA. Every since then I love it, although can’t seem to find them in the local stores. Once you see the packaging its cool because they come preassembled and you can see them right in the packaging and they hang on a J-Card like the Gi-Joes. I have been starting to customize and these things rock for that. A bit on the blockish side but it makes for a great painting area. And Blocky is why I like them anyways. Figure Mold The figure has a great structure. It has a bumpy surface which takes paint extremely well. It is also made of some kind of softer but sturdy plastic then ABS so it’s easy to carve and sand. The version I’m reviewing is plain white which I think really rocks because you can still mix and match it with other Shockini parts. So I know I can make a cool Star Wars custom out of it. The head is a block shape and so are the rest of all 19 parts. They are all basically around the same size as well. The version I’m reviewing has 18 POA and is super poseable. The mold seems to have sturdiness and the pieces do not seem to have any defects and it’s already pre-assembled. The hands even interlock for cool wrestling like poses. Some versions have 4 arms and 4 legs and skeletons. Paint Applications/Color Choices Well, not much to say here. The Shockini comes off white, well this one anyways. There are other versions of the Shockinis which come painted or as colored plastic. The kits also come with 50 stickers so you can add faces and such decorating it how ever you want. Accessories The Shockini comes with 5 accessories a gun, a sword, a staff, binoculars and a block which I don’t know what it’s for yet. The sword, the gun and the block have a receptor hole on them so they can be snapped onto body parts or you can just use them regularly to hold in the hands. I sometimes use the accessories to cut them up and use them as extra parts to glue onto my Shockinis to add coolness. It also has a cool base to stand it on and do cool kung fu moves Final Comments This is a great toy to make stuff from. The cost is perfect for what you get 1 figure 1 stand 5 accessories and 50 stickers. Ratings (out of 10) Character: 8 Mold : 10 Paint Apps: 0 Value: 10 Overall score (not an average): 9 By the way you can get a free one from them I just did. People who join there forums and get 15 posts in get a free shockini. Members who have been there a while and get 100 posts in get to pick which ever Shockini they want free. www.shockertoys.com/forums

These things kick @$$ It's my opinion. If you like them, good for you. I don't think they'll ever be as popular as Stikfas though. And out of curiosity, what licenses do they have besides Toxic the Avenger? (Cause they're gonna need more than that one to win me over).

I don't think they care about winnign you over! They won me over. And from what I hear they have the following. All the characters from Arcana Studio which has Kade and that Shockinis was picked up by FAO. They have all the characters from AC Comics. They have all the characters from Blue Water Productions which just optioned 3 movies and has 6 inch stuff being made also. They have Toxic Avenger from Troma. They have Bucky O' Hare for kinis and vehicles. They have Toxic Crusaders for kinis and vehicles. I also think they have a Ghost Busters cartoon not sure though. Everyone talks about so many licenses at their forums I don't know if they have anything new or not I think the newest is GBs.

Geoff Beckett, I WIL NOT allow you to pollute my board with your crappy toys. Shockinis are THE WORST toys ever created. I pitty your parents who you undoubtably conned into funding your venture.
Shockinis are just less creative versions of Stikfas. Oh look! A Shockini skeleton! That's original.
