G.I.Joe ‘Shockwave’ Discussion By Mitchell Smith!

Welcome to the Outpost. In 1988 G.I.Joe was already on a slow decline, there were still a lot of cool figures and vehicles but the cartoon wasn’t what it used to be. Shockwave was in the cartoon but I don’t think his character was developed. I’m not sure if the comics dove a little further into who he was but I’m curious to track down some with him in it.

I remember getting Shockwave for Christmas and although there were several nice figures from this year, I think Shockwave stood out above the rest. He is one of my favorite figures from this year. He did later get a version with an unmasked face and removable helmet so this version was a cool head swap with his original figure.

He did get an awesome modern figure that I do have in my collection. I don’t believe there was ever a 12 inch figure of Shockwave but I think a 6 inch version with a removable hat and face covering or a head swap with the classic head and an alternate with open face and a helmet would be da bomb. This is a great character and I hope we see more of him in the near future. Who loves Shockwave, and who had the original figure? Sound off AFTER THE JUMP and let us know!
