I also gave him an eight. Great figure, and the hat fits fine on mine, but the accessory choices bring him down a couple points.
The shield doesn't make much sense for the character's specialty, and it can only be held backwards because they decided to glue in the handle one way when then notch for his weapon is on the other side. The nightstick and magazines for the guns were REALLY gummy on mine. No backpack or giant knife like the original. SMG's are a little undersized. Shotgun shells on his outfit but no shotgun. It's just a bunch of weird choices. . Really like the character and overall design. Hat fits fine on mine and I like the weapon and accessory loadout (esp that notched knife)... but its those weird accessory choices that have nothing to do with budget or space or anything. Backwards Shield, Shotgun shells without shotgun (same issue as Steel Corp) No place to put nightstick when it should be so easy to incorporate a simple loop on either the belt or back of the shield. |

I gave him a 9. I think he is a great figure, but not perfect. No back pack, and those wonky old Beach Head legs take him down a little. Still a great head sculpt, and nice looking figure.

I gave him a 7. As other mentioned the accessory choices are odd; Shotgun shells but no Shotgun, Duel Mac10s as sidearms (Doesnt seem very "SWAT" to me) and the shield with the notch on the wrong side. Plus nowhere to store the baton! I ended up making a little holster for it.
I loved Shockwave as a kid, and this isnt a bad toy at all, but its a mediocre one in a line this strong.

One of my favorites when i was a kid im gonna have to give him a 9 solid fig hate the beachhead boots , i gave him a spare set of 45’s from “marvel legends the hood “
Fig , perfect in his holsters wish he had a backpack and that big ass knife like the og . I actually think the arah versions SMG would look okay in his hands since it was kind of oversized to begin with . I reversed his handle on the shield now it makes sense

Gave Shockwave an 8, it's pretty good. But it just feels alittle bit off. Maybe it's just the accessories. I assume they'll fix it eventually with a Retro release. Really needs a backpack and better weapon. They took too much inspiration from the 25th anniversary figure.

Finally was able to start painting and taking phoyos again (moving, the holidays and then getting sick with covid made it impossible lol), but wanted to say how much I love Shockwave.
Added some paint details to his face and eyes (looks better in person), added some silver metal details here and there. I may add some NATO black to his belt and holster straps to break up all the navy, but still haven't decided. Also gave him a Gridiron riot shield and gas mask. I saw another 'Tanker (can't remember who) removed and flipped the inside handle grip for the shield, I think I may also try that too. I used a stripped down Falcon shotgun for him. Also ordered a door ram (hasn't arrived yet) to accessorize him with. I kept one of his sub-machine guns (I like the ones he came with. just didn't need 2) and put his night stick in the other holster and also gave him a spare Snake Eyes backpack (I may dremel the hole on that for the sword so it can stow his stick). Anyways, I think he is a great figure!

I do love Shockwave but I feel that they missed the mark with a few things, particularly the weapons.

Agreed. He's a good figure, albeit a bit forgettable.

I agree. He's a solid 7.
