Shockwave was a minor Blue
Devil villain, who had the unique good fortune
of being one of Blue Devil's ONLY villains at the time
of the presentation, and being a metallic one at that!
While definitely not my first choice for a figure, he
was at least going to be very big, and most likely have
a shiny vac-metallized surface, much like Cyborg and Brainiac.
It is quite odd that Kenner was ignoring the rogues galleries
of Batman, Flash, Green Lantern, Firestorm, etc. at this
point, in favor of support for Blue Devil.
Shockwave got fairly far along in the manufacturing process,
and even had a hollowed out section inside the sculpt
in preparation for his internal mechanism. Photos of the
Shockwave hard copy are courtesy of the fine folks at
The Earth
Toy Mall.
