Way back in 2004 (I think), I was approached by Geoff Beckett of Shocker Toys to produce some custom designs using his Shockini toy action figure. I was definitely intrigued by the idea, and wanted to show off which characters might work best as Shockinis. Being a huge fan of A Clockwork Orange, I knew I wanted to include Alex among the pieces.
Alex is mostly a repainted Shockini with Micromark decals added to the surface. The hat was taken from a Batman Riddler figure, I believe, though I might be mistaken on that.
Anyway, the Shockinis went on tour for a year before I had a chance to photograph them. They’ve definitely seen better days, but I’m happy I had a chance to work on the project. For certain characters, the blockiness of the Shockini design is perfect.
