The 3rd party acquisitions thread!

I finally pulled the trigger and bought Quakewave.... and he is an amazing figure!! Very pleased with him the only dilemma I'm having is wether or not to change his arm around so that the hose is underneath.

If you're not using the light feature, I'd say swap the arm. You can still choose hose on top or bottom, and you remove the switch and potentially delicate electronics. Plus, if you don't like it you can always swap it back. :)

When you say sturdy, is his plastic on par with FOC Grimlock? Or not as strong as that? Looks an awesome figure though :D

FOC Grimlock has strong plastic? I have seen KOs with better plastic quality.

I would say more sturdy

Have only had a brief inspection haven't transformed as yet

But the first thing I do with any new figure is check articulation and how loose joints are. This appears pretty tight and plastic fairly sturdy overall

But will need to do a more detailed inspection I.e. Play ;)

It was in comparison. As strong as his, or not.

Same for me... I'd say FOC Grimlock is almost the lowest point I can think of terms of Transformer plastic 'sturdiness' (although quality may be different consideration - the plastic may in fact be quite lasting, just not very firm at all).

I think the plastic on Caelus in on par with Transformers Generations 2008-2009 figures, but is not as sturdy as say the Fansproject Stunticons. Overall, it's good.

Seems pretty decent then, the price is what's making me hold back on it. Hopefully he hits a small special soon.
