    I’m trying to figure out which Bayverse Shockwave to add to my collection.

    Studio Series 56 or Zeus Toys ZS-01​

    I could go with the Studio Series 56 for the nifty upgrade kit from DNA Design.

    However, I don’t want the included accessories (Wheelie and Brains mini-figures and paratrooper mini-figure with parachute.)

    I could also go with Zeus Toys ZS-01 because it’s larger and has more purple painting. Only downside is it’s infamously fragile thigh joints.

    So I repeat, which one is better?

    Well recently I bought the ZS-01 because of the detail and it’s absolutely worth it. I personally haven’t had an issue with the thigh joints, since I bought the rerelease from tfsafari. Or maybe I was just lucky. I don’t plan on transforming him as he never did in TF3, so that could also be a contributing factor to the joints being fine at the moment. Personally I’d recommend it, just be careful regardless obviously, and try to see which batch you’re gonna be receiving.

    This would be better in the third party section, more people there will be familiar with the KO.

    Studio series, since it doesn’t explode from simply being touched.
