I'm quite satisfied with Quakewave. Great articulation, excellent mold; FT got so much right with this guy. He fits in perfectly with my Masterpiece display.
The only widespread QC issue I'm aware of is the difficulty in getting the battery inside of his head. Wish it wasn't such a chore. On my figure, the switch on the arm is partially cracked, so I have to be VERY careful when switching it on or off. I use a pair of tweezers to grasp the switch and maneuver it now. That plastic is very thin, but I haven't heard of others having issue with it.
And the price was on par with Takara MPs, so I feel there was a lot of value in my purchase.
If you want to wait for an official release, that's your prerogative. But so far there haven't been any listings for one. I don't think you would be "settling" on the FT product if you got it, truly is an amazing piece.
**note - I absolutely adore the MP line, and if Takara were to release a Shockwave then I'd be sure to pick it up**
