Damn. Maybe I’ll leave that for a while. I don’t really need a shockwave anyway.

 

I can't remember which thread it was in but it seems to be that @songrobin had a tutorial for making pegs for hands like that.

 

I recently found better screws to work with to build mushroom pegs: M5*8mm nylon screws:

They're very cheap on ebay here: M4 M5 M6 Black Plastic Insulation Nylon Button head Screw | eBay

A quick comparison between Cloud 9 and Fans Toys.

 

Sure wish I got Quakeblast instead of Prowls missile launcher.

 

Scammage! Bummer.

 

Ya I got scammed too on Ebay (same thing, prowl launcher). Got my cash back. Then just got this guy today from a more reputable seller. He is epic by the way. Absolutely worth the money.

 

Too bad Cloud 9 was just a one off for this guy !!!
QB turned out to be a great figure !!
If only they made other figures in their G1 toy/toon aesthetics !!

 

It’s weird how close the Gigapower boxes and the Cloud 9 box is in regard to logos and icons.

 

That’s cause cloud 9 are probably gigapower.

 

It's almost a known fact that those two are one in the same.
Still, the easiest way to see is when you look at QB hands next to any of the giga Dino's,you sees they are practically the same hands.

 

Right yeah. And they go for similar asthetics and quality.

 

Affirmative  

 

Can't wait to take pics with this bad boy next to MP 36 and The FT Dino's for some comic book scenes. Got him on ebay new shipped $48!!!

 

When I got pulled into collecting in May of last year. I desperately wanted a Shockwave. It was the toy I always wanted and couldn't get. I was so new to collecting though I didn't know the various ways of getting one. I ended up buying a black Quakeblast (only thing available at the time) on ebay from a random seller for more than I should have(new to ebay as well). Love the figure, but now I need me some me some purple Shockwave to stand along my IDW Megatron. So I bought my second one today.

The transparent one looks really good as well. I may have a Shockwave problem.

 

Which seller did you buy from?

 

kaichu-57 and I believe I was told he is safe. He hasn't arrived for me yet, but that seller has him for a great price.

 

Finally shipping from China, does anybody have a good recommendation for faction symbols for this guy?

 

I like using water slides personally and I usually get mine from johosontony, which he lists as "water applique". He has lots of other choices if water slides aren't your cup of tea. There's also Toyhax - Home of Reprolabels, Cobrastickers, & Toy Stages. Labels & stickers for Transformers & GI Joe, toy upgrades, & more. - Toyhax.com as an alternative, who sometimes have great prices.

 

I just bought one from Xytcw110-4. Marked shipped about a day later, he had good words in the eBay seller thread, hopefully it works out.
