9. October 2008
A pretty exciting find on the Internet for an otherwise unremarkable Thursday morning: Instinct Toy just posted pictures of their series of new gas mask figures here. What lacks in Google translation is certainly made up for in gloriously detailed full turnarounds. Each figure appears to be a tribute to or revision on a previously released figure from another company--notably Bounty Hunter.

Geoff from Shocker Toys dropped me a line to say that pre-orders are open for their The Maxx figure, as well as the whole Indie Spotlight series.
