KO Shockwave comparison review

I'm a bit disappointed with mine. The right foot is very loose and will not click into possition whilst in robot mode and the arms are also rather loose, which causes a problem in gun mode when the barrel is on:







Also the chest plate that covers the electronics feels very soft compared to my old Shackwave version.

How are the eletronic sounds. Are they identical to the orignal?

I've just this minute fitted a battery and yes, the sounds are just the same

Mine came this weekend.

Highs:
Gold eye
Great plastic feel. Seems like extremely high quality plastic
Gun barrel covers his hands.

Lows:
The box was crushed.
The arms are weak. Not as weak as the photo above, but they BARELY support the barrel.
The thighs are weak. He can't stand at full height. They contract.
The feet are floppy just as in the pic above.
The hose is a light grey almost. It needs a shot of some Armorall or something.

and finally...
THE LASER HAND IS BROKEN. Yeah, mine came with a shattered laser hand. The tip is broken off and it looks like crap.

sigh.

I'm way way disappointed.

got mine last week.

really nice quality. but maybe i will disamble him to repair my vintage shackwave (left diecast leg broken).

and maybe i will order a new one;-)

I got mine last week also.

The seller pack very well, no dent at all and corner are sharp.

The quality of my shockwave is good. All joints are alright.

Where are you ordering these from? I want one.

Just throw "KO SHockwave" into google, that's how I found the site that sold me mine. I don't think the rules allow us to tell you where to find KO's, but trust me, it's easy.

Received mine yesterday, and like others here, Shockwave wasn't in good shape. The left leg is too loose to allow it to stand and the right foot piece doesn't lock. (It looks like a plastic piece is broken/deformed preventing it from holding, as others above have reported.) The arms are also not strong enough to keep the barrel up in gun mode. The seller also didn't pack well and the lower left of the box was crushed.

Basically it looks like these are issues with the mold being used as they seem to be widespread problems.

I contacted the seller and he said that there were some defects in the first batch that have since been corrected. He offered to replace the item with a new one if I send it back, but am not sure if it's worth the effort. I fixed the leg issue with a bit of glue so it stands (and contracts) and the arm issue I may be able to fix as well.

That said, I also ordered a KO Reflector from the same seller and I'm really happy with the figure.

Just got mine in. Arms are a little loose at the elbows, like the others. But not a big deal. His right foot doesn't lock into place very well, but again, no biggie. One thing that does kinda bother me is that thick metal rod where his legs attach. The legs slide along it very stiffly and it looks like there some surface corrosion on the rod itself. BTW, were the sound effects on the original ever that loud? I almost went deaf when I heard it...sounds like a smoke alarm!
