Third party company Shockwave Lab, via their Weibo account, have shared images of their new products: SL-123 & 124 Upgrade Kits for Generations Selects Black Zarak,

These are 2 kits to improve the already impressive Generations Selects Black Zarak.

SL-123 The Light – A pair of LED light units to be placed inside Black Zarak’s claws which also work for the alternative twin-headed serpent form.
SL-124 The Tail – A longer, thinner and fully articulated new tail for Black Zarak which looks closer to his animation design.

See all the mirrored images on this news post and then sound off on the 2005 Boards!

I decided to add gold paint accents to the tail:

I'm going to post a review in the upgrades thread in a bit. Anyhow, tail quality is outstanding. Looks great. Works fine in bot mode. However, the stock tail parts can't handle the weight in scorpion mode. It's not exactly SL's fault, but yeah, the tail will droop…unless modding is done to increase the stock tail joints friction. It was annoying to do that and have the mod be reversible.

Now I'm just waiting for my order of Black Zarak and the DNA Design upgrade kit to come in at TCP! I'm debating painting the lines on the tail in gold to give it some pop. =)

Are there us online retailers that sell shockwave labs stuff? Like tfsource or bbts?

Those two stores never carry 3d printed parts (rare exception being the Dr. Wu UM kit which came with one 3d printed part).

Most US stores in general don't carry them. There are some eBay sellers that do ship 3d printed parts from the US. koaoao is the main one but not guaranteed to carry all the parts from the various 3d printed groups. They have been good about carrying Shockwave Lab and Go Better parts in general. The parts appear on their eBay listings a few weeks after their Asian release.

Looks good, but I need Black Zarak’s tail to be G1 accurate.
