Alright, so I just recieved mine, I've played around with it for about an hour, no transforming tho. And I seem to have hopefully gotten a sturdier copy. The hips are very scary however. I'm going to loosen the screw here in a minute, and hopefully he will stay fully together. I recommend extreme caution with this toy. The head was poped off out of the box, so thats annoying.

But other than that, he is gorgeous! The detail is insane! And yes, his chest is extremely heavy. Balancing isnt a problem. Wish the blade was shorter though.

 

Nice to hear that there're still some good copies left! I'm eager to get mine although the tracking froze on 26/06 somewhere in China

 

Mine appears to be stuck in traffic, still haven't heard anything since my last post. Since I expect him to arrive broken anyways I intend on tinkering with mine and find a way of tightening those hip ratchets with the included V2 parts. Speaking of which, has anyone received/installed theirs? Do the new parts hold up?

 

What movie is that in the background?

 

Alright, have a bit more to say, I unscrewed the hip a bit (really hard to pull out the torso section to do it) and was surprised to find a washer around the screw? I never noticed this before, anyway, my right leg appears to be stiff and creaky while my left leg moves like it should. So I unscrewed the hip piece a bit, spray some WD40 on it, and it moves like the left leg. I got extremely lucky guys. Mine has one good leg, and a creaky one. Also, Shockwave survived a drop test from about 4 feet on carpet, so thats good. And to note, the tip of Shockwaves thumb seems to have been scraped, as its slowly peeling, a quick trim and its fine now.

Hope all yours are as good as mine. Be careful though.

 

Be mindful with that. WD40 isn't a lubricant, so when it finishes drying out it could go back stiff again. I'd get some grease in there, or at least an actual spray lubricant like MX4.

 

Did I type WD40? Ugh, I mean grease, Sorry about that

 

Oh, goodness; I have a playlist with about 600 horror movies from the 70s and 80s on it, so that could be just about anything!

 

Got mine from ShowZ and at first, he was great. I loosened the screws, posed him a bit, and successfully transformed him without a problem. Unfortunately, transforming him back to robot mode broke the outward hip joint. Not the ratchet itself, but where the post connects to the front of the hip joint. Thankfully the leg stays attached, that joint is obviously loose, but it still kind of works. I already contacted ShowZ about the replacement parts. Hopefully they work well because this is a great looking figure! He is maybe a tad big for my tastes, but it still works for MPM scale and the paintwork is phenomenal and the new molding looks great. I really like the lights and the new segmented hose.

It sucks that this has such a critical flaw because if it didn't it would be 100% worth it.

 

Mine entered the customs. If he came in one piece, which at this point i doubt very much considering he is on the road for more than a month, i am not ever touching his legs My seller looks like he wont be much help with replacement, too.

 

After this whole fiasco I find it hard to support BMB until they get back to the quality of Ares Nitrogen.

 

I have replaced my parts with the enhanced nylon parts. It also comes with a longer screw. My original one didn't broke, and the nylon one seems to be more durable

 

Hopefully someone will release an upgrade kit for this

 

Hello, can anybody help me with the weight of the figure? Mine is released from customs and parcel looks too light based on the information. I am going to a vacation and probably will miss the package. So i am curious is the figure legit?

 

My package is 2.43 kg although I kindly asked the seller for extra protection. Above 2kg for sure.

 

Eh there will always be enough people who say “but it’s just a KO” or don’t care to fuel this company. But yeah, no support from me that’s for sure. QC is a shit show for the past year and the prices keep going up. This company has become a joke.

 

Oh, thanks. Mine says just 555 gr. Not a good sign. Hopefully an error from customs but something smells fishy :/

 

Where did you get it?

 

From Aliexpress as usual.
