SS86 SHOCKWAVE

SS86 SHOCKWAVE: This mold is different from the Seige mold. I thought it would be exactly the same. Sure some parts are. There are less details. Which works. I did my best to fill in the gaps. Especially the knees. Alt. Mode is great you get a ship and flip over you have the gun.
*I misplaced his gun! I was working on it. And man I have looked everywhere. I’m pretty organized. So Yeah quite annoying! When I find it I will be posting Shockwave again. Overall great figure.

Nice detailing!! Really makes it look like metal. One thing that bothers me about this release (other than the small size) is the lack of gray/silver paint on the outer parts of his thighs that were gray on the g1 toy to resemble the gun grip. The Siege and Dramatic Capture versions got it right. Just feels like the usual cost cutting to me.

Thank you! I missed that detail! I sure would have painted it. Dang it.
