Released as part of Wave 14 in December 2023, Shockwave was on a lot of people's wish lists since the Classified line started nearly 5 years ago, so there has been a lot of excitement for this figure's release. Other than the head and some of his gear and weapons, the S.W.A.T. SPECIALIST is made up of re-used parts. For the most part the kit bash of Stalker's torso and arms & Beach Head's legs works fairly well, though some fans probably would have preferred either all-new legs or at least a buck newer than Beach Head's that would be pinless. There has also been a little disappointment with Shockwave for the fact that he does not have a backpack and may have been better suited to be loaded with a shotgun (collectors have noted his vest even has shotgun shells on it which makes the shotgun omission a bit odd) and just one sub-machine gun instead of two. Despite those gripes, he still has a very good head sculpt that features a sort of focused squint for his eyes and overall he's still a very good figure.
Shockwave comes with loaded with the following gear and accessories: (2) sub-machine guns with removable ammo magazines, a riot shield, a removable cap, a knife, a door pick (also called a shove knife) and a night stick. Using the poll options, rate the figure on a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being a total miss and a 10 being plastic perfection, based on what you feel the figure deserves. Ratings should take overall design, sculpt, paint apps and paint deco, accessories and articulation into consideration. Thanks for voting and Yooo Joe!!!

My only complaint, the shield, instead of a blue colored backpack. He's one of my favorites, so I always envision him with the blue backpack.

Haven't received mine from Pulse yet so can not vote on him just yet, but I can't wait to get him in my hands. I plan to add some additional paint apps to his face and eyes to make him more "lifelike" and might change out some of his weapons. Also plan to repaint a spare backpack navy blue for him to wear.
I won't vote yet, but just going off of photos and reviews I'm probably giving him an 8 or 9.

Those of you who have Shockwave already, were you able to get his cap to fit properly? I think just heating it up probably works, but was curious what you guys are encountering.

My Shockwave finally shipped from Hasbro Pulse yesterday. I have a feeling I will be giving him a 9 or a 10 but I will wait until I have him in hand.

He looks like one of those generic swat/military figures Walmart sells on the back end of the toy section. Maybe I'm comparing him too much to Firefly, Beach-Head, and Slice's custom.

I was excited for this figure and maybe i will pick him up eventually but the reviews from tankers have not been kind, mostly due to how bad the hat fits on his head,he just isnt a priority for me at the moment

I gave him an 8. Figure is good but his loadout isn't the best. I feel the shotgun from Hawk should have went to him and the shield should have had a spot for the nightstick. besides that mine didn't come with his knife sheath on his boot
