Question about KO Shockwave
Posted: Fri Aug 06, 2010 1:14 pmHey all,
I managed to unwittingly buy a KO Shockwave a couple months ago, in my new-to-collecting-naivety, I didn't even really realise these things even existed. Anyhow, the figure actually seems perfectly fine in general to me. There's nothing broken on him or anything like that, the biggest problem I have is that I genuinely cannot get his legs to move along the sliding-bar-thing when transforming him without a considerable amount of pressure and restarting and retrying. Maybe this is just me, but is there some kind of button on him I should be pressing to make this easier? I've done a google search on him and have found that most people seem to have a problem with his legs being too loose! I almost wish they were, it's an absolute battle to try and get his legs to move along and it's frustrating. I wonder if it's to do with how the bar was constructed or something, but anyway, if anyone has any advice at all - technical or not, I'd appreciate it. I suppose one key bit of advice is don't buy KOS (?), but heck he's a damn sight more affordable than the original!
...That said, I do have an original Shockwave from when I was young but his legs are in exactly the same state
