Thankfully absent. I know the 3P offerings have their fans, but as a lifelong Shockwave fanboy, they just aren't Shockwave to me. Close, but not. Edit: Just to clarify, I own Quakeblast. Got it for a steal while waiting for MP-29's release, mainly out of curiosity. Not bad, but it's been in the box since I received the Masterpiece and I haven't looked at it since. I do like the not-Hearts of Steel figure, though. If I can ever get one on the cheap I may give it a shot.
Shockwave has a lot of great figures with a lot of variety, which I love. MP comes first for me, but CW, FoC, DotM and Alternators are all excellent toys.
+1. My biggest disappointment of 2016, even at the price I got it for on black friday. Sold it less than 2 weeks after getting it. It really killed my interest in the MP line.
