Courtesy of the Facebook page of online store edbomberToys, we have a look at a potential redeco of the FansToys Quakewave aka the unlicensed Masterpiece style Generation 1 Shockwave. The image shows a Quakewave in a washed out grey deco with a red optic, which is reminiscent of the original Astro Magnum toy that Shockwave was derived from, as well as the RadioShack “Shackwave” of the 1980s.
Given that this is one of the few established alternate decos of Shockwave, which was homaged by Transformers Animated, it was perhaps a foregone conclusion that this might eventually come to pass. None the less, this is confirmation that yes, this deco appears to be happening to this unlicensed toy.

I placed an order for this today, but didn't receive a confirmation email and then couldn't log into check my order history. Its my first order with edbomber, has anyone else had this problem.

Glad to see a lot of the items are arriving and in good shape! It seems a small number are showing up with bad switches in the head. If anyone is seeing problems with their figure please don't hesitate to contact us at [email protected] and we'll take care of it. Thanks again for the support.

Mine arrived Monday. Awesome figure. Glad I pre-ordered him- totally cool. I would have found a way to get him even with the higher post pre-order price if I had to. So glad to add this figure to my collection.
Thanks edbomber.com!

I got mine in yesterday. I fiddled with the replacement part for the arm (so that it could swivel), but I quickly saw that with those pieces, you can't have any lighting effects on the left arm. Oh well. I left the swivel parts off.

I had the same problem too: the switch for the head LED snapped almost fisth thing. I unscrewed the back part and the electronics were rusted out pretty badly. Looks like they had some moisture problems at the factory.
Already sent a message over to Eddie and he replied lightning quick. Looks like there should be some replacement parts coming from FansToys.
Other than that, I love this thing. The silver/gray deco is pretty sweet, and I'm liking the red hands and gun too.

I like the ones on ebay but they are way over priced. I just chopped up a Flight Stand instead.
Crappy pic with cell phone.

I'd have to agree with this. There's only 350 of them, total. Once they're gone, you're gonna be paying more than $25, if you manage to find one.

Picked up my order from the post office today. Patiently waiting for a stand to display him on.

If you guys let $25 come between you and this awesome piece, it's your loss. It's worth every penny of $200.
abe_sapien
Ditto. Wonder if there will be any sales price on it again.
Blue Meanie
Same here. I have had family in town and missed it. New price is a dealbreaker. It is sweet, but i ordered something else. I hate knowing i overpaid. The same thing with MMCs predaking, i canceled because i missed the second preorder. Maybe another time ill get it.
edbomber
I'm really sorry about that. Please send me a PM and we'll get that fixed up for you.

Mine came yesterday. I spent the whole night playing with him. Unfortunately, the head on mine has two problems. First, the LED switch snapped right off when I tried to toggle it. Second, part of the head seems to have a chunk shaved off.
Other than that, I had lots of fun playing with it! I really like the sparkly gray plastic on this figure.

Mine came in yesterday as well. Haven't had a chance to take them out of the box but I do like the look of them.
jbz
yep, got mine yesterday. The hose fix is very clever. It looks like they were smarter about the length of the wiring for the arm light inside too. I didn't realize this was coming with alternate colored hands/cannon. Gonna try swap the red ones on and see what it looks like.
Delta One
I just got mine!

Thanks Ed, cant wait for mine.

OK all pre-orders for Exclusive Quake Wave have been packaged and shipped. If you haven't received a shipping notification please let me know.
A few notes about the batteries – The toy takes two batteries a CR1025 for the arm and CR1020 for the head. However CR1020 batteries are incredibly rare so it's been recommended that you use a CR1025 in the head as well. It's a very tight fit so be careful when installing it.
There are markings for + & – on the arm. If you install the battery and it doesn't light up, try swapping the battery so it goes in reversed. For some reason many of the battery holders were installed backwards.
Feel free to PM me with any questions or concerns. Enjoy!
