THANKS! I guess it is a good thing that I have no idea what would MS send to me next, and it always feels like opening gift boxes. And it would certainly be very nice to have Skyfire!
Love the colors of this repaint and the painted eye looks so much better than the original light piping eye. MS only released a couple of bots using abs plastic, glad they went back to nylon. Pre-ordered at Magic Square Toys.
That at the end with you shooting at Cliffjumper was honestly adorable. I love the colours on this little guy. The transformation definitely seems more "chunky" than what MS does nowadays, which isn't a slight against their newer figures. And I also thought it looked quite... striking, I suppose, compared to the cuter, softer look of their more recent figures. Again, not a slight against the new stuff as that's partly what got me interested in their figures in the first place, but yeah. This little guy looks like great fun. Though I definitely appreciate that they pack in both clear and opaque versions of the hands. I can't help but feel nervous with small clear plastic pieces, as I'm starting to have things crumble on some of my WFC figures now XD Right now I'm waiting on their Prime 2.0, Hound, and Jazz and I'm so excited to transform them all! Thank you for helping to sell me on these toys.
Yeah... kinda stupid with that piu piu piu thing, but that's genuinely how I felt when I transformed him into the gun mode. I just couldn't forget about that moment I saw G1 Shockwave for the first time. SHOCKING to say the least, and it had that 80's typical toy gun sound. ABS figure from MS is a different experience, simpler transformation, but still has that accurate representation, pretty awesome figure. And hope you enjoy all those new bots!
@@OptimusLegends Ah the plu plu plu thing wasn't stupid at all! Toys are meant to be played with, after all! And yeah, G1 Shockwave's gun mode is pretty cool, but i find it hilarious that it just. Flies. Compared to Megatron needing to be held. It felt pretty funny wielding Shockwave in Devastation, I'll say. And I hope so too! If things go by quickly, Hound might get here by the end of the week but I'm not holding my breath. Meanwhile I've had Ken for two weeks now and I've transformed him at least 10 times per day every day since I got him. If the others will even be half as fun as he is, I'm super excited.
Yeah, that's the idea of magic square, fidget toys. This shockwave is a lot simpler to transform compared to other recent releases, you might even have more fun since it's so different, it's a gun, we automatically pick it up, point and shoot!
@@OptimusLegends Makes sense! Part of why I enjoy Ken so much is because it's so different to what I usually collect, that being main line stuff. And the transformation feels more cohesive than a lot of main line stuff in a way as well. And hahah, I agree 100%. I definitely need to get myself a G1 Megs at some point as well as this. Just too bad there's no G1 character that turns into a sword as far as I know XD
Love the review, perfect as usual! I just pulled the trigger on B32. Without paying much attention I thought this color was coming but in chatting with some people they got me thinking I was wrong and thinking of new age so I ordered B32. I love the way it looks but Shockwave is one that I prefer the darker toy color. Shoulda waited :( maybe I will paint mine. Anyway, thanks again for a great review!
Thanks! H35 looks also very great! MS used ABS for the original Shockwave so I guess it's not necessary to switch to nylon. I still have unfinished projects.. stacked up, and more samples are coming, MS is almost releasing new product weekly now, insane..
I didn't know Magic Square only recently switch the nylon for their figures. Also, did you see the news from Magic Square? Just a few days after we talked about wanting an MP scale Light of Victory, Magic Square showed off a prototype.
Awesome review! I'm still struggling between the original release and this recolor. I am definitely draw to the original's color scheme since toon accuracy is my preference, but the lack of paint does make that version look a bit lifeless compared to this recolor. Would love to hear some more thoughts on the matter. Can't wait to see more reviews of MS releases!
These Mini Masterieces should have come out before the original ones, I would have collected them instead! they are just too amazing! (and cost less and take less space!)
@optimus legends hi big fan here can i suggest next time you have a chance to talk with the ms people please ask them if they could make their version of the dinobots and an autobot combiner, also maybe their version of the insecticons and the combaticons sorry for the many request just excited for this legend scale collection
Sorry... there are just so many new products to create premieres and previews, which took a lot more effort to make. But don't worry, I've got the draft of the last episode of the constructicon set, I just need a week... when MS has no samples for me to review.
@@OptimusLegends ig that's a good thing. Magic square is so expensive, id literally blow up if they told me they were sending me free stuff. Ofc, that's why i collect newage, but still.
Transformers are just getting more and more expensive, I don't even look at the price tags of the MPs anymore, they are not making sense... MS and NA are saving this fandom for being very active, offering outstanding products. Hasbro should thank them.
@@OptimusLegends hasbro should partner with NA, upscales of those figures would be greatly appreciated. And if takara partnered with MS, they could bring us MP scale MS figures made of better materials. It could save the entire MP line.
@@BricksAndBots47 I'd be afraid they'd turn it all into business. That's kind of why I love some of these third party figures, especially MS. You can tell the designers and crew put a lot of love into these characters, no? Makes it feel good to support them and to stay a fan.
Awesome review as usual!! Best TF reviewer on TH-cam!! I can’t wait for MS to send you their Skyfire to review! That will be a special moment for me!!
THANKS!

SUP Buddy!!! lol, yea, looking forward to Optimus MS Skyfire review, and MS Yellow Devy.

Great video! I've already got H35 and they seem pretty similar - nice to see MS with the ABS plastic. You planning on reviewing NA Ymir?
Thanks! H35 looks also very great! MS used ABS for the original Shockwave so I guess it's not necessary to switch to nylon.
I still have unfinished projects.. stacked up, and more samples are coming, MS is almost releasing new product weekly now, insane..
I didn't know Magic Square only recently switch the nylon for their figures.
Also, did you see the news from Magic Square? Just a few days after we talked about wanting an MP scale Light of Victory, Magic Square showed off a prototype.
They had a few ABS figures, less than 5 I guess, didn't work out as they expected, so they went back to nylon.
Yeah.. the inevitable is coming..
Good video
Glad you enjoyed!
" this is most illogical " my reaction to how you seem to just stop making the magic square devistator
My apologies, and It is not stopped, it is delayed, by previews and premieres...
@@OptimusLegends Don't burn out! You're work here is awesome and I'm so thankful you got into ms figures!! Keep it fun!

I am a new subscriber so glad I found you. I am going to watch a big portion of your video and give U a thumbs up👍
Man Magic Square Toys needs to work on upscaling these bad boys to Masterpiece scale.
These Mini Masterieces should have come out before the original ones, I would have collected them instead! they are just too amazing! (and cost less and take less space!)
Yeah, exactly, the pain for collecting MPs.
I’m just mesmerized by the transformation, which is odd because it’s nothing too special
Hi Bonnie! Good Day! Haven't seen you for a while!

That ... is too much information to ask. I might need to spread them out.
@@OptimusLegends
No problem
@@OptimusLegends magic square dinobots ohh how fast those would sell
обзор он отличный видео класс
мне лично шоквейв он всегда нравелся я за него держусь
Out of curiosity, does this have the LED for the gun arm like the original release seems to have had, or is this no longer present?
I didn't receive any LED with this sample, but I do have one from Megatron, I suppose they should include it just like earlier versions?
He covered that I. The video.
...Don't do this to me, I *just* got out of Legends scale last year and this looks really good.
Do you have the NA Shockwave to compare?
I’m curious, when it comes to legends scale stuff is abs or nylon better? Or are they both good?
durability and premium feel abs, softer more cartoony asthetics nylon
What about the CONSTRUCTICOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNS!!!
