Who still wants a Quakewave? Last I checked... EVERYONE right?

At this point its absurd that FT hasn't reissued him, and I know I don't have the 500+ secondary market asking price for one. I'm not a KO supporter, but failing an actual reissue, I WILL buy this.

It was only a matter of time before this happened , its BS fanstoys havent reissued QW , Fans have been crying out to FT for another run . so I for one this time round have no sympathy as QW is in high demand and fanstoys doesn't seem to want to cash in , they dont even reply to the messages left on their FB page about it .

Exactly my thoughts. Reissuing QW would be like printing money, and this isn't a case of "the mold is old/lost/broken" like we hear from HasTak. If they FT doesn't want to cash in, to hell with em.

What they should have done is shrunk it down to voyager scale and cash in on the non-MP crowd. Im under the impression everybody and their mother bought a quakewave when even BBTS had it in stock. Anybody who didnt get one didnt get one only missed out because they didnt want to pull the trigger for whatever reason. Oh well, I bet tsu is happy about this KO !

I bet a lot of people were like me. Either not into the 3P scene yet, or didn't want to cross the line for their MP collection. Then by the time they were into it, time was up. And like we said, a reissue would be a sure thing.

I don't think EVERYBODY got a QW when it was available though. Cause I'm not the only one whos been crying for one.

I'll buy it if it's close to Fanstoys Quality. I missed Quakewave when it came out.

I agree with Jaki .

QW came out really early and I and many other had no interest in the MP line , now its huge and QW warrents a reissue , FT would make a fortune.

Who knows this could be a push for FT to finally do it like how MMC responded to clonedroids (which was a stupid idea by CD since there was no demand)

Does the appeal in Quakewave lies mainly in the fact that we may never get an official Masterpiece Shockwave?

Honestly, I never got into Quakewave too much. I don't think he's that accurate anyway. His chest is too small and high and his lower legs are too thick. I used to have him but sold him, because he didn't look that good next to the MPs. My opinion, of course.

Assuming the perpetually rumored but never actually revealed Takara MP Shockwave isn't announced by the time this is out, then yep, I'll grab one of these.

Taking another look at the comparison pic there seems to be a few slight retoolings expecially the the chest being lower and longer .

Could just be a matter of perspective from where the pic was taken, and with the KO standing more to the front than QW.

At any rate, I didn't buy Quakewave when I had several chances to do so... and I'm not buying this. >:oP

I'm with you shajaki. I wasn't super in to 3rd Party MP, and NOW I want one to go with my Decepticons! Woo! I saw this on TF-Direct, I haven't ordered from them and I'm always worried my money will disappear.

Well, it would make little sense for me to pre-order with a UK based site, so I'll just wait for BBTS or Chimung to toss em up. See? All it took was the emergence of a KO to knock some sense into FT

No honor among intellectual property "borrowers" :lol:

Reminds of of CC back then. It was KOed like how many times?

Pre orders for ft quake go up next month !

News Credits: 349 · by **Bed Bugs** » Mon Jun 29, 2015 12:29 pm

I hear the KO is coming out first and will be around $100. The reissue will be around $150.

News Credits: 668 · by **Autobot032** » Tue Jun 30, 2015 2:03 am

I'm buying the KO and calling it a day. I'm tired of paying $150.00+ for stuff now. Just don't have resources or the patience for it anymore.

Is it just me or does a KO of a 3rd party not seem as bad as buying a KO of an official release? I mean it's still a KO, but there's no "official" TakaraTomy release anyway..so not so bad? Amirite? I'm hoping they make the purple closer to screen accurate, but even if it isn't as I'll probably bite. $50 cheaper is $50 to another 3rd Party or official MP figure in this case. Toys be gettin' pricey.

Also, does this qualify as a 3rd Party of a 3rd Party?! WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN?!
