1- Indie Spotlight now has a spot in the database of one of the most legendary comic book toy websites out there. Of course I am talking about www.ComicFigs.Net (Formerly known as Marvel Legends.net) Be sure to drop by and check out their Indie Spotlight section.

http://comicfigs.net/Line/IS.htm

Currently they have a picture of the entire wave of Indie Spotlight wave 1. I’m hoping that they will have the time eventually to feature each of the individual figures with their own photos, like most of the other figures on their site. But this is a nice start for Indie Spotlight on that website. I’m really excited to see Indie Spotlight as an addition to their site.

2- The next big piece of news is that we have some nice photos of Indie Spotlight wave 2. Check em out-

Also included in Indie Spotlight wave 2 will be King Zombie Variant and mail away Arthur from The Tick. Each figure will include an accessory to add to The Tick.

I’m finding hard to keep up with all the Mallow customs popping up now, but if anyone finds some, feel free to leave a comment with a link to the custom.

The Mallow prototype which I cant wait to get my hands on shows how the limbs can be extended or shortened for full customisation.
