To get you even more excited about Comic-Con 2009 (You are going, right? You already have your tickets, right?) Shocker Toys have announced their first exclusive, as detailed below. These two figures look great and I will be scrambling to pick these up before they’re gone. The variant that is only available at the show will not last long, so be sure to make the Shocker Toys booth one of your first stops on Preview Night!

INDIE SPOTLIGHT COMIC BOOK HEROES 6 Inch Action Figures SDCC EXCLUSIVES
* Dick Tracy B&W variant figure is limited to SDCC attendees only.
* Dick Tracy B&W standard figure is available at Shocker Toys Online Store and at SDCC.
Tribune-“Dick Tracy’s inimitable style has secured his place in Americana as the groundbreaking detective who kept the streets safe (and millions of readers glued to their comics pages). Not content to rest on his laurels, Tracy continues to be relevant as he combines old-fashioned values with 21st century innovation to capture corporate crooks, computer pirates, polluters, skyjackers, gang members and terrorists.”
Dick Tracy is also part of the upcoming Series 2 of Indie Spotlight Comic Book Heroes 6 inch scale action figure line. The line will feature him colorized in both the standard and variant models. Series 2, dubbed “The Tick Series” also features The Tick, Ignacia, Jack Staff and King Zombie.
This is only the beginning of the Shocker Toys offerings this year at San Diego Comic-Con. Look out for follow up with more news to come on other exclusives, product previews, contests and more.
