    Wow. There are large chunks of that design lifted straight from Quakewave.

    Yep, but even as a re-tooled Quakewave I am preferring Cloud 9's proportions. Especially the head, chest and abdomen.

    His legs are nicer than Quakewaves that;s for sure, and there are other features too as you'd expect for a new 3rd party toy. Should please everyone who missed out on Quakewave though not quite seeing enough to make me want to replace him.

    This is looking very interesting, will be following closely with a keen eye. Quakewave is nice, but this guy's proportions just look much better.

    I wish these companies would start making characters that have not been made by other 3rd party producers. As soon as one company announces someone the other companies soon follow.

    I would really love to see a Takara Shockwave MP. These figures just don't tick all the boxes for me despite their excellent reviews. Maybe an official version will help me identify the reasons why.

    I hear you on that 100%, I have a quakewave, am happy with him and didnt pay much of a premium despite only getting him late last year. However this, though proportions look better, I am not a fan of the busy-ness. Some people might prefer all the extra detail but I prefer smoother panels etc same reason I didnt pick up terminus hexatron. If i didnt have a quakewave I'd still be tempted I guess, but if fanstoys confirmed the quakewave reissue I'd jump ship. that die cast /drool
