My completed new custom ,which started around mid November last year .

POC / modern Shockwave

Shockwave is my second favorite Joe and last year, I did a Night Force SW custom but I also wanted an updated / modern version ,while retaining his ARAH appearance.

@dark

awesome! will be waiting to see them!

Here's another of my new custom.

I like CC with the trench look as it portrays him as a meaner ,darker ,no-nonsense type of man.

I gave him two belts ,one with holster and the other ,without (worn together with the coat).

The figure is a simple part swap but the coat required some adjustments .





COBRA wants you!

hi guys... i got one extra unit of this...

PM me if interested.. and yo joee...!

New haul.

Will be getting Duke and SS later.

POC Wave 3 Mini Review
----------------------------

Snake Eyes

The Good
-----------

- Comes with a shitload of accesories ,perhaps the most in history of 3 3/4" line of figures.
- Alternate visor head ,twin silencers ,removable knee pads ,two knife sheathes with accompanying
knives (POC BH ,do take note).
- Has storage for majority of his weapons.
- Sports a new vest with elastic suspenders.
- Comes with two interchangeable modes ,ninja and commando.

The Bad
---------

- Lack of holster for his secondary pistol and silencer.
- Hip joints are slightly looser ,compared to the other POC figures.

Verdict
--------

CS SE couldn't hold a candle to this version of SE ,but that's my opinion.
He's basically a two for one figure ,where with simple switching ,SE alters between his ninja and commando personality (even his card refers to him as NINJA COMMANDO).
There is so much good things about this figure so only one thing for me to say, BUY IT!

Note
===

Be careful with the silencer as it's tiny and easily gets lost .In fact, I accidentally dropped mine to the floor while taking a shot of SE and couldn't find the darned thing.


Shock Trooper

The Good
-----------

- Comes with 3 piece helmet (helmet ,goggles and gas mask) and a slew of weapons.
- Shield is a new accesory.
- Features swivel / hinge left wrist but regular right wrist.
- There's some paint applied on both the machine gun and assault rifle.

The Bad
---------

- Lots of weapons but no storage for any of them .WTF?
- Lack of pistol holster (molded or working) on his right thigh.
- Loose goggles (it's 25th Anni Viper deja vu all over again).

Verdict
--------

I don't know what the hype is all about regarding the Shock Trooper .To me ,he is just unimpressive.
I hate the face mask extending down to his neck .Am gonna trim off the excess bit later.

Nice stuffs!

Where did you get them? Ordered online?

Guys, I also wan a Shock Trooper, where to get ah? I m new and can't be disappointed haha

The GI Joe community of Lowyat demands to know....
..

Did you get these locally???? And if yes, where the F*** from?!!&^&@

J/k

It's from overseas, the hub TV sticker on it is the giveaway as these are only on joe figures sold in the US

Fellas, I got it from S'pore.
And dzirhan ,I got loose figs from wave 1 from Malaysia toy shop ,with HUB sticker in front and Hasbro M'sia sticker behind packaging.

wow shock troopers!
when are we going to get these in malaysia?

darkshadow, as usual awesome review with clear and nice pictures. demand different poses for both of them.

*how does the elastic suspender for snake eyes work? do you cut it off from the vest?

I c, where s the best place to buy in SG? China Sqr Ctr?

lol, beats us all again! dang, where's mine? hey, do 'poison' us summore pls lol

hahaha i like dat word... "the GIJOE community of Lowyat demands to know"

Whoops my bad on the hub sticker, never saw any on the ones sold here so thought it was something just stuck on joes sold in US

Thanks!At least someone is still reading and appreciating my reviews.

The suspenders are glued into the vest and I had to peeled them off.Cutting will also work but you wont remove them completely.

Yeah, when will we get wave 3..I bought these as a little insurance in case Wave 3 never made it to Malaysia.
Remember the incident with ROC wave 4 no-show at all and the shortage of wave 5?

Added on January 28, 2011, 7:04 pm yeah man ,where's yours? I figured you would have scored some by now ,just like Odinn.


This post has been edited by darkshadow: Jan 28 2011, 07:04 PM

OK ,as per requests ,here are more pics..Enjoy!

First off, a couple of comparison shots.

Alley Viper and Shock Trooper.Yeah he towers over Alley Viper but remember that AV was based on the 25th DOCI figure and 25th figures are mostly shorter than POC.



I know some of you might be asking if ST's the same height as FF and indeed he is.



Riot control / crowd dispersion in progress



Yesterday ,I mentioned that SE comes in two modes ,ninja and commando.
That's the reason the kneepads are removable.

COMMANDO MODE



NINJA MODE



And finally ,a fight scene

Damn you and your new toys...damn you!!!!~~~~

But really man, I envy you now with the new SE. Close up pics of him does make him look a lot more better than the initially released pic. You have the haul of the month

And I did notice the suspenders missing in your first pic of him, thought you'd cut it. Why not loop it around his leg like some of the pics online for extra storage capacity?

My haul will probably come next month once I return from CNY holiday..still waiting for my World of Warcraft figure to be available

Again, awesome awesome haul and nice review as always
