    Nice shots Sixo! I love my YOTH Prime. He is the leader of my FT Dinobots. The red, dark blue, and gold bling makes him fit in quite nicely.

    Thank you! I appreciate you taking the time to write that down. Much appreciated!

    Curious, do you prefer the shots that are wide open (less sharp) or the others that are sharper all the way around?

    Added a few custom LED accessories to the Coneheads vs. Skyfire display and I'm really liking how it turned out. Check it out!

    When MP Shockwave came out, I thought he looked underwhelming, so I stuck with my 3P version of the character. Now, every time I look at MP-29 I think I kinda regret holding out on him/getting the 3P. I like what I have, but there's just something about that guy that really makes him look like the definitive Shockwave. Looking through the forums, I think I'm not alone in my change of mind on the topic.

    In my case it was the legs. I just love the way MP-29's are shaped, and how essential I found them to the character. The head is another issue: I think that the official, though not perfect, is much better proportioned. Anybody else think that MP Shockwave's a grower?

    MP Shockwave is probably in my top five favorite MPs, and definitely my second favorite Decepticon MP. I'm crazy about his look, his transformation, and how fun he is to handle and transform.

    @songrobin , you are doing God's work! AMAZING

    @Reuter44 , your shots have really turned into something special, man!

    My favorite figure. Just ordered the reissue off Amazon Japan. I've gotten way more than $200 worth of enjoyment out of this guy and if there's ever a figure I'd want a second copy of, he's the one. More than any other MP, I feel he best captures the character and feels the most alive.

    This mold's dated and I wouldn't mind a v3 down the road, but ol' MP-11 can still look cool as hell.

    Bee x2 Hopefully the smaller one is actually staring in the next movie but they're both fun toys in their own ways.

    I heard so much negative feedback about Shockwave before I got him and I couldn't understand it. This guy is glorious. These pictures and reviews don't do this figure justice at all. I am so glad I picked him up and listened to my gut. Quite honestly hes one of my favorites that I have. He just feels so great in hand and moves and poses so well. The way his face looks and his arms along with his legs and I know hes gotten alot of flack for his skinny legs, but he looks great and proportioned.

    I can echo those that loved the figure from the jump. Our little lavender friend demands to be the Shockwave on my shelf. While FT Quakewave is a great figure, MP Shockwave is just pure fun for me in stance, posing, transformation and evoking the G1 image I strive for in my collection. I never understood the hate/dislike as well but he's my Shockwave.

    @songrobin - Your work is glorious.

    @Jdk504 - I'm loving how crisp and colorful your photos are.

    @Dean ML - My two favorite stooges. I would love to see a V3 from TT. If they can rival the poseability of Megatron, then they have my money.
