New blog for the masked avenger of Mr. Meadows!

Ok now onto the mysterious Reideen1313 supporter who is really Reideen1313 gone underground. I have devoted a new blog to this mysterious masked avenger of Mr Meadows!

http://shockertoysworsttoycompanyeveriscrap.blogspot.com

Reideen1313's last breath of stink before passing the torch!

Ok first let's tackle Reideen's last breath and last ditch effort!
Reideen,
First off ignoring you is what everyone is doing now which is why you have slithered away. I don't see any other reason you would pull all your blogs in less you were a coward. Did Geoff's lawyer send another cease and desist your way? And as far as failing with Shockinis selling worldwide in Canada, US, Australia, Singapore and elsewhere I hardly see that as failing. You really need to learn about a company before opening your ugly mouth! Also as far as closing shop.....I doubt that will happen. I see your wife and kids leaving you way before that happens! Oh and good job switching your identity to shockertoyssucks and staring a new blog we will be tackling that next!

"Final word on Gwarff and Shocker

I've gotten numerous requests recently, asking that I repost the blogs regarding Gwarff Beckett and Shocker Toys. I've also been asked to email copies of the posts to a few people who are starting their own blogs.

While I appreciate the interest, I simply don't want to give Gwarff any more free publicity than I already have. A couple of wise people who had similar run ins with Gwarff suggested that I was devoting too much time and energy to posting about Gwarff's activities and, after I took a step back and looked at the situation, I realized they were right. As a result, I archived all the posts I had made regarding Gwarff.

I don't think that I'll be reposting any of what I've written or emailing copies to anyone. I think Gwarff has gotten way too much publicity out of this and I've probably done more harm than good in posting my dissenting opinion & rebuttals to him.

My advice for anyone wanting to carry on in my stead - ignore him. Gwarff will continue to spew his bullshit and continue to fail in 80 to 90% of his endevors. A business cannot survive with those results and eventually he will be forced to close up shop.

The end of the Reideen vs Gwarff/Shocker saga.

Reideen1313 gets treated like he should; a real family man looser!

Reideen1313 gets treated like he should; a real family man looser! I can't wait to see this bozo at a convention. He shows what a real man can do like get all his posts deleted and threads locked. Give it up Reideen people are sick of your constant badgering of Shocker Toys. You are a sick man and need to get help, this has been said before. I think Geoff Beckett should file a restraining order as you might be some crazy stalker! I think he just can't stand the fact that people are talking about Shocker Toys and it aint bad! GET A LIFE REIDEEN1313, at least your family has one I hope! Or can you not find time for your 3 children because you are to busy spamming the net with your hate of Shocker Toys. Poor kids!

"SD Comics defends Gwarff

Apparently the gang over at Julius' site is just fine with Gwarff's spam posts and actually encourage them. So much for their 'we want to encourage discussion and criticism of all lines' type of thinking. My posts on this subject have mostly been deleted. SDComics must have felt they were 'flame worthy'. Either that or someone else told him to delete them. Based on Julius' history with Shocker and Gwarff, I wouldn't doubt this either...

ANYway, here's the posts that were removed. There were other posters that agreed with me, but Gwarff got those removed as well and unfortunately I didn't copy those.

Your online crusade against Shocker is getting really, really weird. It's like you have a vendetta or something.


Uh huh. Sort of like people who have a vendetta against Mattel, DCD, Hasbro, etc etc, right? Difference of opinion - that's all. I'm not attacking the person, but the product and the company - nothing more than anyone else that speaks negatively about other companies.

>>>Quote:
And yes, despite what you may think, it's entirely possible to discuss the product without discussing the people who make it.


Yep. Phantom toys would be cool. Jack Staff toys would be cool. Savage Dragon toys would be cool. See - very possible to talk about the characters being made into toys.

Phantom toys by Shocker? Not cool. Have you seen the Toxic Avenger Shockini? I don't think I need to say any more.

>>>Quote:
Dude, I'm telling you this for your own good: LET. IT. GO.


Yeah. If I don't I'll either be banned from this forum (based on my low post count, that really won't change my life much) or Gwarff will serve me up with another fake cease & desist order. Thanks for the advice.

>>>Quote:
(And now, of course, you're going to turn right around and call me a "shocker toys apologist" or a "Gwarff defender" or some such nonsense. And that's exactly the reason you need to just let this whole thing go)


Nope. Couldn't care less about you or whether you like the company or not. You seem to think Gwarff is a nice guy. Great - you're entitled to your opinion. Just as I'm entitled to mine.

As always, delete away.


>>>[quote="SDcomics"]Okay, reideen. I'm going to let you get the last word in, and then I'm going to leave it for other folks to decide if you have a vendetta going against "Gwarff" or not. I believe the evidence pretty much speaks for itself.

Now ...

FROM THIS POINT FORWARD, ALL PERSONAL ATTACKS MADE IN THESE FORUMS WILL BE DELETED.[/quote]

Who made a personal attack? I sited specific facts and didn't attack anyone. (You however are all for going to Fwoosh and continuing this there... :oops: )

The fact is, there is a good chance based on Gwarff's previous history with licenses, that if he actually acquires the license for these characters we won't ever see them on store shelves.

See? Nothing personal - just talking about the licenses and the company. (There's a difference.)


As you can see, SD's version of 'letting me get the last word in' really just meant that he was going to delete all further discussion from me on this subject. Whatever. It's their forum. If they choose to allow Gwarff's spam, it's on them. Now, if anyone actually believes that we'll actually see more than 20% of the figures that Gwarff is pursuing the licenses for, I've got a bridge in Brooklyn to sell them....

Mr. REIDEEN1313 GET A LIFE!! Logged webisodes of a madman!

Reideen1313,
Just like you are making a catalog of Mr. Beckett's or should I say Shocker Toys company moves, I am making a similar log of your spewing crap!
1st anyone to give me 6-7" Image figures along with some other great Indie figures has got my attention and seems to have everyone else's as well. You remind me of the guy that stands in a picket line like Don't believe their products they don't work and cause health problems! This isn't the case, they haven't even released anything yet and are taking all the fan input before they do. If the line came out and looked like crap on a stick then you could actually add your two cents, which you probably got from your wife!

As far as the Shockini product list you posted they made 18 new Shockinis products all at the same time! Do you know ho many moulds that is? A lot for one spin and they are selling great overseas and direct here in the states. So what no Major retailers won't carry them they haven't a clue what sells in the U.S. besides Marvel and DC and Yu Gi Hoe! Plus I have actually seen them in Newbury and Shinders and Tower is also picking up the Shockini line. The reason they have trouble is loud mouths like you who do nothing but scare people away....There us nothing wrong with the Shockinis they are a very good product and when you pick it up you see that.

Plus working on all these new lines and GWAR and stuff has to cause things to be put on hold like new Shockinis. You rant that he makes crappy sculpted Shockinis so they take the time to sculpt GWAR very good I might add and you still friggin complain! You are one weird guy! I can see Mr. Shocka coming home and finding you in his underwear hamper sniffing away! You are sick and should have your family find you some serious help!

Oh and stop beating a dead horse they already have the Judge Dredd and 2000ad license you really need to get some real updated facts if you are going to stalk them. You really make a bad stalker to begin with making up things as you go along. I am starting to wonder who you are doing this for. Yourself or another toy company for free toys as payment. Oh as far as lawsuit I would sue you A$$ too you are causing financial risks and acting libel and slandering the companies name like they sold you a bad Shockini and it exploded or something.

Mr. REIDEEN1313 GET A LIFE!!

"I am absolutely appalled.

I am shocked that creators would continue to grant Shocker Toys license to produce toys based on their characters.

Let's take a look at the characters that Shocker is trying to make into figures now:

Yea we have grown alot since then. Funny thing is I see a few companies doing the same thing now they will learn!
As far as some teasers. I can say a few for now:
The Phantom
Madman
Jack Staff
Nexus

The rest we will wait to announce cuz we like suspense or they are being finalized!



The above quote is from the FWOOSH forums.

I can certainly appreciate creators wanting to see their character immortalized in plastic. I can understand those creators wanting to give fans a figure to hold in their hands. However, shouldn't they try to do that with a company who will actually bring the product to store shelves? Beyond shockinis, Gwarff and co haven't brought any product out that they've hyped. Ribbots anyone? Even the shockini track record isn't that great.

A wide variety of colors and body types have been talked about, but very few of them have actually been made. 7 of 12 standard body types have been made in various colors. 1 of 12 possible female body types have been made. A 4 armed and a 4 legged version have been made, but the 6 armed and 6 legged have not. 2 headed, muscle body, fatty body, skinny body, tall and kid bodies have all gone unproduced. Not a very good completion ratio there...

Maybe Gwarff has been focused more on licensed properties, rather than in house designs. Let's take a look.

Here's a list of reported licenses held by Gwarff, from Gwarff's forum. (We aren't even going to discuss Thundercats, Silverhawks, Tigersharks or the rest of the 80's properties that Gwarff was bragging about acquiring. Warner Brothers was too difficult to work with, so Gwarff claims he stopped pursuing the lines.)

Toxic Avenger - This one was manufactured, but it looked like a cross between a california raisin and a dog turd on a ballerina body...

Troma Shockinis:
Toxic Avenger Shockini MSRP 9.95 Available
GID SDCC Toxie MSRP 15.00 Available
Toxic Crusaders/
Toxie MSRP 8.95 Coming Soon
Dr. Killemoff MSRP 8.95 Coming Soon
Bonehead MSRP 8.95 Coming Soon
NoZone MSRP 8.95 Coming Soon
Major Disaster MSRP 8.95 Coming Soon
Junkyard MSRP 8.95 Coming Soon
Headbanger MSRP 8.95 Coming Soon
Psycho MSRP 8.95 Coming Soon

SO, Gwarff has made 2 out of a possible 10 figures from Toxie & co. That gives them a 20% completion rate.

Electrobyte Shockinis:
Ape-X electrobyte MSRP 6.95 Available
Neutrex electrobyte MSRP 6.95 Available
Xenix electrobyte MSRP 6.95 Available
Scanmurai electrobyte MSRP 6.95 Coming Soon
Slamurai electrobyte MSRP 6.95 Coming Soon
maturai electrobyte MSRP 6.95 Coming Soon
Buzz electrobyte MSRP 6.95 Coming Soon
Stuzz electrobyte MSRP 6.95 Coming Soon
Fluzz electrobyte MSRP 6.95 Coming Soon
electroleech electrobyte MSRP 6.95 Coming Soon
pyscholeech electrobyte MSRP 6.95 Coming Soon
ladyleech electrobyte MSRP 6.95 Coming Soon

Gwarff has made 3 out of a possible 12 Electrobyte figures. That gives them a 25% completion rate.

Arcana comics - Kade is the only character that appears to have been made. I'm guessing since it's a small press, independent comic, most comic shops/retailers aren't beating down Gwarff's door to get this one.

Arcana Shockinis:
Kade Shockini MSRP 8.95 Available
Apollyon Shockini MSRP 8.95 Coming Soon
Ezra Shockini MSRP 8.95 Coming Soon
Nephilia Shockini MSRP 8.95 Coming Soon
Koni Waves Shockinis MSRP 8.95 Coming Soon

Gwarff has made 1 out of a possible 5 figures from Arcana. That gives them again, a 20% completion rate.

Bucky O' Hare Shockinis:
Bucky O' Hare MSRP 8.95 Coming Soon
Deadeye Duck MSRP 8.95 Coming Soon
Jenny MSRP 8.95 Coming Soon
Toad MSRP 8.95 Coming Soon
Blue Water Productions:
Captain Steel MSRP 8.95 Coming Soon
Atlas MSRP 8.95 Coming Soon
Tenth Muse MSRP 8.95 Coming Soon
Grayson Bishop MSRP 8.95 Coming Soon
Medussa MSRP 8.95 Coming Soon
Judo Bot MSRP 8.95 Coming Soon
Judo Girl MSRP 8.95 Coming Soon
VSS Scarlet MSRP 8.95 Coming Soon
VSS Lark MSRP 8.95 Coming Soon
VSS Raven MSRP 8.95 Coming Soon
VSS Brooke MSRP 8.95 Coming Soon
VSS Lormann MSRP 8.95 Coming Soon
Isis MSRP 8.95 Coming Soon
Set MSRP 8.95 Coming Soon
Orion MSRP 8.95 Coming Soon
Valkyrie MSRP 8.95 Coming Soon
Zak Raven MSRP 8.95 Coming Soon

Wow - Bucky fans must be really tired of hearing about this line, considering that it hasn't ever made it to store shelves. Since none of them have been made, that gives Gwarff a 0% completion rate on this line.

Judge Dredd/2000ad:
Judge Dredd MSRP 8.95 Coming Soon
Judge Death MSRP 8.95 Coming Soon
Judge Hershey MSRP 8.95 Coming Soon
Judge Anderson MSRP 8.95 Coming Soon
ABC Robots MSRP 8.95each Coming Soon
Stronium Dog MSRP 8.95 Coming Soon

Judge Dredd is the same as Bucky. 0% completed.

AC Comics:
Iron Jaw MSRP 8.95 Coming Soon
The Avenger MSRP 8.95 Coming Soon
Paragon MSRP 8.95 Coming Soon
Stardust MSRP 8.95 Coming Soon
Ms Victory MSRP 8.95 Coming Soon
Madamboa MSRP 8.95 Coming Soon
Black Cobra MSRP 8.95 Coming Soon

Hmm....another 0% completion rate for AC Comics characters...notice a pattern here?

These last two are relatively new, so I'll give Gwarff the benefit of the doubt. However, I'm guessing, based on their previous history, that we'll see less than 25% of these figures make it to store shelves.

Toxic Teddies
Toxic Teddie create your own violence kit MSRP 8.95 Coming Soon

Gwar
Oderus MSRP 8.95 Coming Soon
Flattus MSRP 8.95 Coming Soon
Beefcake MSRP 8.95 Coming Soon
Jizmack MSRP 8.95 Coming Soon
Balsac MSRP 8.95 Coming Soon

I don't have confidence that we'll see anything more from Gwarff on these other licenses he's talking about acquiring.

What's really funny is, there is a discussion going on at Julius Marx's forum, Action Figure Insider, about the possibility of this upcoming line. I posted something about not being able to seperate the discussion of the toys from that of the company and president of the company. It got deleted and I was told I was 'grinding personal axes'. Whatever. So, of course, I posted a response:

reideen1313, enough. This board isn't here for you to grind your axes.

Yes, Michael, of course. Discuss the product as much as you like. That's what this board is here for.

In the meantime, I'll be watching closely. I don't want anymore shenanigans out of ANYONE. I don't care if you're the President of a toy company, a well-respected reviewer, a blogger or the freakin' Queen of Sheeba. NO MORE FLAMING.

(This is not a good way to start a weekend, kids.)


Right. I didn't write anything that was 'flame worthy' unless you have some awful thin skin.

All I asked was is it possible to discuss just the toys without discussing the company/president? I also mentioned their previous track record of not bringing products out that they were reportedly in the process of acquiring licenses for. (IE Thundercats, Silverhawks, Tigersharks, Judge Dredd, etc.)

I don't think I mentioned anywhere anything about my personal beef with Gwarff or the fact that I too have been threatened with a lawsuit over a dissenting opinion. Hmm...

Oh well. Feel free to delete away if you think this is too 'flame worthy' for your forum.


We'll see how long it takes for that post to get deleted....

Another compliment by Turncoat Reideen1313!

Wow, look at what someone just sent me a link to! A topic from the dreaded Toy News international site (supposed toy and entertainment news site). Seems everyone liked the Shockinis including; again turncoat Mr. Reideen1313. He really is the poster boy for hypocrite! Oh and by the way the ######## mean Shockinis. Seems the owner of TNI has deemed (don't know by what authority) That Shockini and Shockinis and Shocker Toys are bad words!

WOW!!!, First off when i got it, ###### are bigger than i thought, and its awesome!!! The size of it is fun because im so use to playing with minimates then to play with a bigger but still minitype figure is different and very fun! This figure is very very very Fun to play with, the articulation is amazing!!! 18!!!! To be honest i didnt think ###### where that great from pics and stuff, BUT WOW!!! In person they are fricking amazing!

This is the type of toy i take everywhere with me and would play with!
It definitly will not be going in the shoe box, it will stay right here at my desk, it can do some many poses and hold so many different accessories from different toy lines, the shockini is bigger than minimate, but smaller than a gi joe. Perfect Size!!!!

the fact that every joint is ball jointed is a very very nice feature and makes posability even better!!! Awesome toy!! It can be very very successful!!!


You guys should all get a Shockini!!!!!!!

Thank You ######!!!

I was quite suprised that it arrived today (today as in tuesday) i was expecting a later date.The camera im using is pretty bad and I dont have a image hoster so for now I will just try to describe it the best i can.

The packaging was small enough to fit through my letter box which is a good thing because I didnt want someone to just leave it outside my house.The package is padded out to protect the Shockini.

The package contains a ###### in a plastic sleeve, a black circular base in plastic sleeve and a ###### card.

The ###### is made out of white plastic and has 18 poa and is 3" tall, because of the ###### articulation you can get all kind of calls poses out of it and you can pull apart his body and reconnect his body parts.THe ###### has a nice block figure look it also has one tiny hole in each of its feet so it can fit/slot into the black circular stand that came with the figure.

Overall, a great figure to play with and should be added to any block figure collection.

Well done ###### its a great figure.

But now I dont know what to customise, I had ideas but with all of the ###### articulation I want to make a character whos very flexible.

After seeing the last picture on your post NC I think that a Shockini would be just about the right size for a Sentinel. Don't you think?

That's an excellent idea RJ!

After seeing some of the customization that has been done, the Shockini has grown on me. It's still in 2nd place (behind my Minimates) but I would buy one if I saw it on the shelf. Others, like Kubricks and Mez-its just don't have the articulation that I have come to look for (I sound like a ML freak, don't I?). The sculpted heads etc on Mez-its are nice, but the rest of the body just leaves me going "Ehh".

I have to admit, I really admire Shocker's committment to talking to the fans and getting their input, whether it is good or bad. Listening to them is really the way to get a grass roots, groundswell of support behind a new product like this, and for that, I applaud them. I think they are headed in the right direction. Too many companies did excellent work (Resaurus comes to mind) and have disappeared. I would like to see the Shockini's succeed for you ######. Good luck!

Here we go again a big spitting of crap from Mr. Reideen's mouth. Do you kiss you children with that foul mouth? I really think with all the time on your hands Reideen1313 that you wife got sick of your crap and took your kids and left your pathetic ass. So the guy at Shocker Toys types in a hurry...SO WHAT! At least he types, at least he listens to his fans and answers their questions! Do any of your beloved toy companies step onto the line and listen to your feedback and answer your questions? NO, do you know why you simple minded fool? Because people like you that cut their heads off when they expose themselves to be in tune with their fans. It's people like you that destroy this industry and poison the toy marketplace. Oh and thanks for again promoting the good company of Shocker Toys and helping spread the word that they have the 2000ad license. You are really the most wormy despicable disgusting person to ever be called a Toy Fan! I am almost tempted to call you up with the number I found and give you a piece of my mind! I certainly hope you get a lot of nice hang ups from the Shockini fans! Oh and to quote straight from Jeff(Reideen1313) again:

"I really admire the courage that it takes to do what you are doing. I know that living out a dream can be exciting - if there are any suggestions I can provide, let me know!

Thanks!

Jeff"

A true sign of intelligence in that quote!

"If you don't even know how to spell the character's name...

maybe you shouldn't be suggesting that you're going to make a figure based on that character.

I just found out that 2000 A.D.'s Rogue Trooper comic series is being made into a video game for the PS2, Xbox, and PC Computer. So I was just wondering if you guys can get in contact with Rebellion (the guys who are making this game) and see if you can sell a Rogue Trooper Shockini figure with the game, or see if you can do a special gift offer with the game (like if you Pre-order the game you will get a Rogue Trooper Shockini figure for free).

Here is the web page with pics & info on the game:

Hmm...the character name IS spelled correctly in the post above...let's read further.

Good idea we do have the rights for a Rouge Trooper kini
_________________


I've never heard of a 2000 A.D. character named "Rouge Trooper". Now, that may very well be on some movie with men in dresses singing and dancing, but I wouldn't know Geoff. Not exactly what I had pictured. Maybe it's a New Jersey thing that us midwesterners just wouldn't understand.

For those that aren't familiar with the 2000 AD line of books, the character "Rogue" was a genetically-engineered warrior, bred to fight in the galaxy's deadliest war-zones. But the G.I.'s brothers-in-arms were ambushed at the Quartz Zone Massacre, betrayed by one of their own generals. The only survivor, Rogue went A.W.O.L, vowing to hunt down the traitor general and bring him to justice. He managed to save 3 bio-chips from his fellow soldiers. The digitised souls of former brothers-in-arms Gunnar (situated in Rogue's gun), Helm (in Rogue's helmet), and Bagman (in Rogue's backpack). The trio are used to aid their fellow G.I.s in combat.

One advantage to me reviewing them is that you have your own focus group built in - since I have 4 kids I can give a pretty unbiased review of what all of them think!

Let me know if there is anything else I can do - I really admire the courage that it takes to do what you are doing. I know that living out a dream can be exciting - if there are any suggestions I can provide, let me know!

Thanks!

Jeff"

Wow someone so bitter now seemed to be puckering up for some freebies back then! My things have changed in Jeff's mind! I love the last bit where he admires President Geoff Beckett of Shocker Toys for the courage it takes to do what he is doing. Even though Mr. Reideen now constantly puts down what Shocker Toys is doing. I really have to know what Shocker Toys did to such a man to send him off on this crazed mission of ruining their companies rep? Can anyone tell me?

Wow the hit's just keep coming from this Reideen Looser!

Wow the hit's just keep coming from this Reideen Looser! I doubt that he saw a robot toy for $1.00 made by Shocker Toys. Also the E-Bay listing that you have seen Mr. Reideen is a guy who bought them from Southern Island for next to nothing along with other company's products when he went out of the sales business. I found that out directly from Southern Island. The guy selling them has no idea what they are worth nor does he care, he's making a profit on them. Also does Mr. Reideen know that tons of the robot shockini versions were sold and shipped after Toy Fair this year? And that they are going to be in TRU Asia and TRU U.S. from what I hear. Man Mr. Reideen really has a few screws loose is he thinks he is impressing anyone with this knowledge of out of date and false facts. I wonder if he has always been a bully and a liar? Probably the little fat kid who got picked on in school then grew mean and bigger and picked on everyone else. Again Mr Reideen please take you pills, please go to a GWAR concert and see how many fans are there! I dare you to scream GWAR who cares at a packed show! Just because you can't grasp the idea of a good toy or action figure doesn't mean the rest of us can't! The GWAR figures are being sculpted by Brian Dooley which is top notch I have a ton of his Side Show figures that he sculpted. Also if upon your internet search has stumbled upon some info you would have seen that people contact Mcfarlane sales reps. They stated that Todd had tried his hardest to get the GWAR license but Shocker got it instead. It's all their in black and white Mr Reideen god of the internet searches. Plus just because you hate Shocker Toys (which I don't know why it's just creepy) Does not mean that they will be making a bad version of 7" figure for GWAR. Seems they listened to all the fan input and our working with a lot of big people. Also I love it that you say specialty stores last time I checked Spencer's, Hot Topic, FYE were a tad bigger then small specialty shops. I hope you go to the comic con on the west coast Mr. Reideen I'd love to see you talk all this crap to the Shocker Toys employees at their booth! And while your at it you can also talk crap to GWAR while they are there signing. Maybe you can meet up with me also and speak your mind. Man this Reideen1313 is pathetic I really feel bad for the Meadows! Oooops sorry Jeff (Reideen) did that slip, man you have the same name as the Shocker Toys president you must hate that!

"Electrobytes?

Wow. The hits - they just keep coming! This was a Thundarr/Metabots type concept that, suprisingly, just didn't seem to hit it big with kids. (I wonder why...)


Release Date:07/13/03

Electrobytes shoulder fighting robots by Shocker Toys with a toy line tie in!

The all new Shoulder Action Figures and anime!

Hello from Shocker Toys, We are a Toy/Game company located in New Jersey. We have produced a new online cartoon/comic book and soon to be new anime Electrobytes. In the Electrobytes story it is the year 2070 a company called Shocker Corporation has released many usefull robots but now they are releasing a shoulder companion robot called an Electrobyte. A small 11 inch fighting robot that the children will wear on their shoulders and use to battle other kid’s Electrobytes in special arenas around the world. Using a special chip the bots were only allowed to function in the arenas. But due to a mistake they recieved a worker bot chip allowing them to function anywhere anytime. Two days later a great meteor storm has leveled much of the planets cities and resources. A General aid to the President of The United States has been left in charge of rebuilding. He starts a council of four other members to help with the process. One of the members Cristal is the inventor of the Electrobytes has decided to spread the word of the Electrobytes to the children so they will stay out of the way during rebuilding. She has named the children who own an Electrobyte Electrotykes. Our main focus is on four teens living in a new town called Fraggo. Our adventurous teens are Acey (Cristals niece) Chad and Rick(brothers) and Mac (Our villian). They roam around on different adventures fighting with Mac and his evil bots. And they are always looking for new Electrobytes and upgrades and ammo for the ones they own now.

Also tying into Electrobytes we have a new toy line coming out in a few months called the Shoulder Action Figures which are action figures that kids can wear on their shoulders just like the characters in the Electrobytes story. The first will be a 11 inch figure called Ape-X it will be available three versions a retro a regular and a girl version. Also they will have plenty of articulation and attachments. This toy will be geared for ages 5-10 and will go hand in hand with the cartoon Electrobytes.



I saw an Ape-X at my comic shop the other day. He was on clearance for $1.00. It's been there for over a month at that price. I wonder how long it'll stay there??

When doing a search on Ebay for Shockinis, it looks like they sell for about $1.99 (when they sell). Check the completed listings and you'll see what I mean.

As to their new product line - Gwar - who really cares? Maybe the 100 or so Gwar fans that are out there? This is a line that will be stuck in specialty store hell - just like McFarlane's KISS and Motley Crue figures were. Look at it this way - if McFarlane passed on this license, do you honestly think that Shocker will do any better??

Ribbots promoted by the unmighty Reideen1313! But where is GWAR comments?

Is this Reideen1313 seriously mental? He's making malicious and derogatory comments on a cartoon like property that does not even exist. Seems this was made by the Shocker Toys company back in 2001 when they were in R&D. I don't see Mr Reideen coming up with super cartoon and comic or toy ideas. Oh yea it's because he has no life and no imagination just a head full of Nebraska rocks. I laugh at the fact that Mr Reideen does not comment on the fact that Shocker Toys is making 7" GWAR figures and everyone wants them. From what I hear are already on order with all the major stores and have a number of exclusives! Am I lying search the internet for Gwar action figures it was even on MTVnews for christ's sake. He really needs to catch up with the times and stop living in his fantasy world where a toy company was trying to get ahead. They have already done that and when GWAR hits I think alot of people will feel like a bunch of idiots and I can't wait to talk about what they say here first! Well again hats off to Reideen1313 for his toy and comic thoughts of crap. Oh and I think Shocker should thank you for plugging their property. Man are you dumb!

"Ribbots? WTF???

Yet another idea that just didn't seem to get off the ground from my fav toy company.


Ribbots: Frogs and Machine and Alot in Between

February, 2002 -- Shocker Toys is looking to license its new property Ribbots. They are striving to break the mold of the same old trading card games by incorporating different media and toys to go along with the TCG. Inventing fun and new games Shocker Toys will be presenting Ribbots at Toy Fair. The Ribbots story takes place on a planet far far away. Where ponds and lilly pads are used as battle grounds. And the number of warts you have tells the amount of battles youve been in. A world where Ribonalds serves you up a double leaf burger and large order of flies. This is World of Ribbots. Our story begins when a teen fighter pilot from Earth named Quell gets sucked into a space rift when he comes to he sees Earth only its much greener then it usually is. When he arrives back at Earth he reliazes that hes not on Earth but a planet similar to Earth. He has to fight his way through the hardships of being a new species on the planet.meeting up with other species from different planets who suffered the same fate as him. He and his new friends must fight the evergrowing attacks by the Ribbot Army General Kreb. And they must still try and find out what or who has caused the rift and how they can get back through and to their worlds..


Bwahahahahaha!!! Stargate/Buck Rogers meets Battletoads. I wonder why that concept isn't on TRU shelves everywhere??? :D "ponds and lilly pads are used as battle grounds" ??? Wha? "A world where Ribonalds serves you up a double leaf burger and large order of flies." How original! ROTFLMAO!!!

This Reideen guy is really getting to into his own little world! If you admit that you will be going to a Companies website under a masked IP to take data to use it maliciously then you are committing a crime. This reideen character does not gather info to report it or give opinions he gathers it to add to his blog to make the Shocker Toys company look bad. That is against the law whether you are doing it in a newspaper on the televisions or the god given internet! Just because you are blogger does not mean you can use info and freedom of speech to damage a companies reputation or business.
You say you are a blogger Mr. Reideen but I say you are an internet bully who needs to be punished. The Shocker Toys forums and it's main site "which the new one is looking great" Says all rights reserved. One day Mr. Reideen this will all catch up with you. What has Shocker Toys done to wrong you did they burn down your house? Did they steal your job? Did they sleep with your wife? Did they kidnap your children? I don't think they did any of those things or anything at all to you and you just want to show off and be a bully. You Mr. Reideen and your blog site are a complete waste of time! Give it up and go back to being a daddy with no life!

"Tips on anonymous blogging and surfing the net - part 1

I did quite a bit of research on this subject previously, but in light of those recent events, I thought this was probably a timely topic.

This is part one of a series - I'll discuss reasons that we need to have the ability to blog & surf the net anonymously.

First of all, it IS NOT illegal to post/surf anonymously. As an American, I have the right to a number of things. I have the right to privacy. I have the right to free speech. I have the right to bear arms. These things tie into my right to say what I want on my blog and I can do so without worrying about a corporation (big or small) coming after me.

Posting (and surfing the net) anonymously allows reporters to communicate with sources for stories. It allows parents some sense of security when they allow their children to play on the family PC. Posting anonymously behind a 'screen name' allows political disenters to voice their political views - even if they are in the minority - they still have the freedom to state their views without worry of persecution. These are just a few examples of how anonymous free speech is important to our country. Anonymous free speech IS protected by the First Amendment.

The internet has become the ultimate source for free speech. Anyone with a connection can state their views on anything. They don't even have to own a computer - all they need to do is go to the local library and log on.

That said, if a company has an internet site/forum and wants to display/discuss upcoming product on said site/forum, I can discuss that information. If they display their upcoming product at say, Toy Fair, and put out press releases, I can discuss that information. It's just like discussing the same products at my local comic book shops. The only difference is, I'm reaching a (potentially) wider audience by posting on the internet.

Up next: Part two - how to blog & surf the net anonymously.

A grown man crying? And admitting illegal actions?

Wow a grown man crying like his kids! I'm glad Shocker Toys did something about it. Hmmm if they found out his IP then they are one step ahead of him. I wonder if they already reported Mr. Reideen's blog for libel, slander and misuse of trademarks and copy written names! And now Mr. Reideen is admitting that he's going to illegally mask his IP to gain access to the Shocker Toys website to cause malicious harm and use info for members only for libel intent. Man if they are looking at that he will be in some trouble. Also I don't see what stupid stuff Shocker Toys is doing at their forums besides communicating with their fans. Again I have to say that this man has no life besides his kids and his computer, but that's just my opinion. Let's see what else this creep does now!

"Banned from Shocker forum!

Boo hoo! I've been banned from their forum.

(Don't they know that I can just mask my IP addy and get back in to post more about the stupid stuff they're trying to do there?)

Man this reideen1313 guy has no life but to comment on all the things on the Shocker Toys forums. Does he not understand he is sending traffic their way! Foolish looks to be his middle name. I personally Like Shocker Toys but I kind of wonder why they haven't done anything about this prick yet? I am loving the fact that he is giving so much ammo to work with so if not Shocker Toys then I can sure have fun with this. I would post a link to my real blog on here but will remain on the outs as to not involve anyone.


In all honesty if Shocker Toys communicates with their fans about licenses they are looking into, then I have way more respect for them then any of the other so called companies. I just think Mr Reideen grew up to fast, didn't believe in birth control and now cannot be involved in the toy industry he so much loves. Don't cry here is a tissue for your thoughts! He will never grow up or make any real contributions; except having his worthless blog posted on all the worhtless toy news sites that he buddies up with. Also I love the fact that he says he has seen the products but from hearing inside news had gotten a few free for him and his worthless offspring and enjoyed them very much. He also wrote a great review on them which was removed from TNI mysteriously! Man this is really fun, I like taking on other people's enemies!

"Thundercats NOOOOOO!!!

Shocker is still talking about getting the rights to do Thundercats toys. >:P

Shocker, have you every looked into Thundercats to be done as 'Kini's ? I know LJN had produced the toys in the 80's. But, I doubt they still have the rights to the toys after all these years.
