Indies to keep an eye on in 2011

Yes, read that carefully.  It says Indies, not Undies.  Indies as in Independents.  These days, anyone could make a product and sell it online thanks to the web.  And some of these aren't just amateur products but rival the established toymakers in terms of quality in the product that are offered.  The production runs are small, and the sellout times are fast for some of these items, and thankfully there are no coloured-SOD on any of these online stores.  Here's a few Indies that I have picked to keep an eye on in 2011...

#1 by 3B Indie Spotlight, Kabuki

Hello, all! 3B from Killer B Hive here, Novelty has graciously invited me to share a review with you as part of Blog Mash Bash! Today we're looking at Indie Spotlight's Kabuki figure from Shocker Toys.

Shocker Toys picked up licenses for characters from independent comic books and strips. So far, figures of Mad Man, Dick Tracy, The Tick, Golden Age Blue Beetle and more have been announced as part of the line. My first encounter with these figures came about a month ago at my local Toys R Us where they're appearing in the "Collector's" aisle. I was really intrigued by Kabuki when I saw her on the shelf, but I couldn't cave-in to the $16.99 price tag... so, I ordered her directly from Shocker Toys, where she was $15 flat (including shipping!).
