Indie Spotlight is the line of figures produced by Shocker Toys. A lot of things have happened over this year that have resulted in Geoff Beckett, the founder of Shocker Toys, to branch off into his very own toy company titled GBJR Toys (no surprise what the letters stand for). Indie Spotlight is one of those figure lines that has a lot of fans, but also has encountered a lot of problems with distribution and online orders. All of that should change soon with the company’s rebranding and passion to move forward and keep making toys.
To help with that, Geoff Beckett has launched an IndieGoGo campaign (similar to Kickstarter) to help raise funds to produce a second run of Indie Spotlight Series 2, as well as lock in money for new tooling for future Indie Spotlight figures, and produce new body types for the figures. There are lots of cool incentives, such as getting your very own character made into an Indie Spotlight figure (if you can shell out $11,000), and even a trip to Toy Fair 2013.
In addition to this, I had a very brief correspondence with Geoff Beckett to answer just a couple of questions some fans might have regarding the rebranding.
Continue after the jump for the correspondence, a full description of the IndieGoGo campaign, and some cool pictures too.
