#1 DS Reviews - Toys! Mostly Transformers.

Post by Dark Silver »

So...the past month or so I've given my hand at doing video reviews of toys.....

Cause I'm a sad sad man who needed something else to do with his hobby.

So here I will share the video reviews I'm doing of Transformers toys I'm collecting.

Suggestions for improvement always encouraged - let me know what I can improve, or what just doesn't work.

So...yeah.

Shockwave was awesome, much more fun blaster than Megatron's lame Luger. Also somewhat more durable, Megatron lost a leg very quickly, the only trick with Shockwave was to not lose the detachable barrel assembly.

Man... That fucking barrel. I managed to keep it for years and what happens? Dad loses it when I move out. I mean it's not like I was using it but it's the principal of the thing.

I never actually had a Shockwave figure when I was a kid (I had very few Transformers when I was a kid...parents wouldn't buy them for me. But they did get me Dino Rriders....though never that gods be damned Tyrannosaurus Rex).

So this is technically my very first G1 style Shockwave.

My Transformers has almost become embarrassing....thankfully the girlfriend appreciates my geeky qualities - and is even willing to be an enabler when it comes to the special days that gifts are required.
