Just a fun factoid,I figured some of you might enjoy seeing.
It's not clear if these are Hasbro liscensed 1985 Sockwave toys or KO versions. Either way it's kinda cool to see these toys in this movie.

Neat! I must have seen that movie a hundred times and never noticed that. Thanks for sharing that, if anyone here can appreciate that, it's definitely me
Also, it's the Radio Shack "Shackwave" version. You can tell because the gun arm parts are clear rather than translucent purple.

Wow, hidden right in plain sight!
On an aside note- hey! It's Bottalk! I didn't realize that site was still active! Not a slam. Genuinely didn't know.

Same here, I bet I haven't visited that site in 10 years. Good for them.
There are two Shockwaves in that picture too... the one that's circled, and one on the left side of the frame. Nice!

Yeah, that's what I zeroed in on, totally missed that it was a Shackwave until our own Shocky saw it.
