Pop Culture Shock social media channels have just shared our first color image of the upcoming Generation 1 Shockwave Classic Scale Statue.
As usual with other Pop Culture Shock statues, Shockwave features an amazing cell-shaded deco that made him look as if he was taken out from the G1 cartoon. This statue should stand approximately 10 1/2” tall (27 cm) as with other Pop Culture Shock Classic scale statues.
We still have no concrete information on price or release date but stay tuned with TFW2005 for more updates. Check the mirrored image on this news post and then share your impressions on the 2005 Boards!

Yeah, I ended up doing the 3 payment plan as well. I told myself no more statues after Prime some Studios, but damn if logic didn’t dictate that I order this.
Cerberus
Its a bit expensive but well done and looking good, its next year and the payment can be divided into 3 months, soooo… Preordered!
Thanks for the headup @analogue

It is quite a bit more than I was expecting it to be.
Dachande
Yeah… I hate to say it but this really isn't doing anything for me. If it were like the Hard Heroes statue at $50 to $75, maybe. At $215 it isn't something I feel is worth it.

Heads up @Dachande and @Vampyr

Nice look! Any idea of the price?

you make funny you want talk about real life physics huh ok metal robot on wooden horse and another thing these are giant alien robots not aliens need look humanoid as people always say about movies that’s in real world as well
You should rewatch cartoon series again and laugh how incorrectly cartoon breaks laws of real life and physics, gijoe cartoon is more realistic to real life to transformers cobra out in space they have space suits on humans on cybertron with no air that have water and plant life frowning on metal planet humans don’t float away humans don’t wear space suits.,
Statue looks good but he’s not favorite character of mine

I'm not arguing that non-transforming figures are better than transforming figures because that just depends on what you value. They both serve a purpose. I like Transformers because the concept of everyday things turning into a giant robot is neat as hell. From there, it has transcended into liking the characters themselves. Non-transforming figures are still able to capture that for me by the details of their alt mode present throughout the bot mode and well, it looks like the character itself. Non-transforming figures do make a sacrifice on the transforming concept, however, then you can say transforming figures make a sacrifice on the character design. I've dipped my toes into collecting 3A figures and I confidently say there is no way anyone will be able to make a transforming figure of BB Prime look as great as his 3A counterpart.

I feel that way about almost all transformers that don't transform because we have seen near perfect looking transforming figures of these characters made plenty of time, with great articulation, and looking almost statue perfect. It's just that with statues you often get better paint work and either more realism or better toon accuracy. I still don't buy transformer statues though because they usually cost too much for what they are- which is just something to look at only. I'd like to have some of those Prime1 statues, but not for $1000 or more. The appeal of statues is more about character than gimmick, even in a brand like transformers that is literally altogether based on the gimmick. We love a lot of those for the characters as much or more than the transforming thing. Using the same example again, but nothing captures the awesomeness of Beast Wars Megatron like the Prime1 statue. Not even the visuals of show he came from or the MP figure.

I guess it all boils down to the argument of how "accurate" do you consider accuracy ? Obviously artwork on paper wasnt designed to explore the ability of transformation. But when you take a drawing (especially of a character that never had a toy) and you make it transform, youve brought it to life. Theoretically, you could make a 3D sculpture of any drawing and "bring it to life", but I would ask you this: If Transformers didnt transform since day one, would they be mainstream today ? Or would they be Stariors, Robotix, or some other obscure 1980's franchise nobody gives a crap about ? Im not knocking you for being satisfied with the best representation of robot mode only. Im simply questioning if you would even remember Transformers existed if they didnt transform ? If you collect all kinds of statues, I totally get it. However if your a Transformers fan who only buys statues of Transformers and no other statues, I dont get it.

Other brands don't have robots made out of car parts. But really, I collect non-transforming Transformers because they're the best looking representation of the characters I like. Some find value in something that transforms, but others like me find value in perfection (robot mode wise). Plus, I barely touch my figures these days so the transformation gimmick isn't a 'must-have' for me.
Rated X
I hear you, but isnt "Transformation" the gimmick that brings appeal to the franchise ? Does someone who spends $1500 or more on a statue really love what makes the brand unique from other science fictional chatacters ? While the statues do homage characters, they do nothing to glorify the brands namesake. They might as well be collecting cherubs.
